Summary The Dow Jones Industrial Average finished up 6.10 points (0.03 percent) at 17,678.70
NEW YORK (AFP) - A massive snowstorm descending on New York dulled Wall Street trade Monday but stocks ended a bit higher, helped by some positive quarterly earnings reports.
After a slow start, with some worries about the victory of the leftist Syriza party in Greek elections, stocks picked up. The Dow Jones Industrial Average finished up 6.10 points (0.03 percent) at 17,678.70.
The broader S&P 500 added 5.26 (0.26 percent) at 2,057.08, while the Nasdaq Composite gained 13.88 points (0.29 percent) at 4,771.76.
"Trading was rather subdued because of the snow and lots of traders coming home early," said Mace Blicksilver, director at Marblehead Asset Management.
