Several strong profit reports helped Wall Street claw back most of its sharp loss from the prior day. The S&P 500 rose 1% Thursday and is back within 1% of its all-time high a day after its worst drop in nearly three months. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 0.9%, and the Nasdaq composite climbed 1.3%. Micron Technology leaped to one of the market's biggest gains after reporting stronger results than expected. Treasury yields were mixed following a suite of economic reports, including one showing the U.S. economy grew by less during the summer than earlier estimated.
