Stocks climbed on Wall Street Thursday for the third straight day as investors hope U.S. and Mexican officials can reach a deal that avoids tariffs on goods from Mexico.
One report said the U.S. could delay the tariffs, set for June 10, but there was no official word from Washington. Technology and energy stocks were among the biggest gainers.
