Wall Street ticks higher following more reports showing a resilient US economy [Video]

U.S. stock indexes are ticking higher Thursday, putting the S&P 500 index on track to break a four-day losing streak.

The S&P 500 was 0.6% higher in midday trading after erasing an early, modest loss. Another drop would send it to its longest losing streak since late October, when its big run to records began.
