NEW YORK, Feb 9 (Reuters) – U.S. stocks rose modestly for a third straight day on Thursday after Greece reached a deal to secure a financial bailout, but investors were cautious after weeks of gains.
Tech shares, led by Apple Inc, gave a lift to the Nasdaq index and were the session’s strongest sector. Skepticism that Greece would follow through on promised austerity measures kept investors hesitant to boost stocks further.
