Stocks climbed steadily to finish near their best levels Thursday as the euro erased its drop versus the greenback and after a handful of better-than-expected economic data.
But volume remained thin in the final week of trading for the year.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average soared 135.63 points, or 1.12 percent, to close at 12,287.04,
The S&P 500 jumped 13.38 points, or 1.07 percent, to finish at 1,263.02, moving back into positive territory for the year. The Nasdaq rallied 23.76 points, or 0.92 percent, to end at 2,613.74.
The CBOE Volatility Index, widely considered the best gauge of fear in the market, ended below 23.
