After an early move to the upside, stocks have fluctuated over the course of the trading session on Wednesday but largely maintained a positive bias.
Currently, the major averages are posting modest gains. The Dow is up 65.98 points or 0.2 percent at 36,318.00, the Nasdaq is up 63.05 points or 0.4 percent at 15,216.50 and the S&P 500 is up 14.22 points or 0.3 percent at 4,727.29.
The modest strength on Wall Street comes following the release of the Labor Department's highly anticipated report on consumer price inflation in December.
