Wall Street Rises to Two-Week High Ahead of Thanksgiving Holiday

Description:Stocks finished modestly higher on Wednesday, with the S&P 500 up for a fourth session, although volume was one of the year's lowest on the day ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday. Investors welcomed news that a ceasefire was declared to end the flare-up in violence between Israel and the Palestinians, though the lack of a deal to release emergency aid for Greece limited the market's advance. The Dow Jones industrial average .DJI gained 48.38 points, or 0.38 percent, to end at 12,836.89. (1:05)
