Stocks rallied again on Wall Street Thursday, and the S&P 500 is closing out a fourth straight gain. The 1.5% rise marks the longest winning streak for the index since March.

A report on Thursday showed more workers filed for unemployment benefits last week than expected.

A report on Friday will show more broadly how the jobs market is doing.
