Dow up more than 100 points

Wall Street rallied for a third session in a row today, propelling the Dow Jones industrials up more than 100 points, after Goldman Sachs reported results that beat expectations and investors grew more confident that the recent drop in crude oil prices would boost consumer spending.

Investors saw positive momentum from financial services stocks after Goldman Sachs reported better-than-expected results during the third quarter, although profits fell as its trading business slowed.
