Dow climbed on Friday amid positive signals from domestic economy. US preliminary consumer confidence jumped more than expected this month. Mounting hopes for continuation of stimulus measures also pushed the US blue chips index higher. However, the upswing remained capped by concerns over the US fiscal cliff and Greek budget vote. Meanwhile, investors were also cautious ahead of the Chinese leadership change. The Dow Jones Industrial Average Index added 0.03% to end the week at 12,815.39. Six out of nine sectors climbed. Industrials and telecommunications posted the biggest gains. Boeing and Caterpillar rose 3.20% and 1.54%, while Verizon Communications and AT&T advanced 0.07% and 1.02%. At the same time, consumer services dropped by 1.28%. Walt Disney declined 5.96% as company's quarterly results disappointed Wall Street.
