The S&P 500 has rallied 21 percent from its 2011 low in October amid signs that the U.S. economy was weathering Europe’s debt crisis. Government data tomorrow is forecast by economists to show the U.S. added 145,000 jobs in January and the unemployment rate held at a three-year low of 8.5 percent.
Earnings beat projections at 66 percent of the 211 companies in the S&P 500 that reported quarterly results since Jan. 9, the data show. Profits probably grew 4.6 percent in the fourth quarter, according to a Bloomberg survey of analysts. The projection has fallen from 6.2 percent at the end of last year.
