NEW YORK nike air max bw premium scontate , Oct. 30 (Xinhua) -- U.S. stocks gained steam to trade mostly higher at midday Thursday after data showed the American economy grew stronger than expected in the third quarter.

The U.S. real gross domestic product (GDP) increased at an annual rate of 3.5 percent in the third quarter, according to the advance estimate released by the U.S. Commerce Department Thursday, beating analyst estimates of 3 percent.

The upbeat data came one day after the Federal Reserve decided to end the third round of quantitative easing (QE), as the U.S. central bank sees the economy is improving on track from the worst financial crisis in decades.

Fed officials are likely to feel "vindicated" about their decision not to back down from their hawkish stance in Wednesday's statement, said Christopher Low nike air max plus tn ultra scontate , chief economist at FTN Financial, in a research note Thursday.

With the conclusion of QE, investors' attention now shifts to the timing of the Fed's first rate hike.

Other data showed the number of Americans who initially applied for jobless benefits in the week ending Oct. 25 inched up 3,000 to 287,000 nike air vapormax 95 scontate , the U.S. Labor Department reported Thursday. The latest figure remained at historically low levels, indicating continued improvement of the labor market.

Visa shares jumped 8.99 percent to trade at 233.96 dollars apiece in early morning, the top gainer of the Dow Jones Industrial Average, as the card company late Wednesday posted stronger-than-expected third-quarter results.

At midday, the Dow rallied 151.44 points nike air max plus scontate , or 0.89 percent, to 17,125.75. The S&P 500 added 5.30 points, or 0.27 percent, to 1 nike air max 270 uomo scontate , 987.60. The Nasdaq Composite Index was down 3.82 points, or 0.08 percent, to 4,545.41.
