U.S. equities edged higher on Wednesday, as report showed companies hired more workers than expected and the Fed said the world's largest economy is expanding. The S&P 500 Index climbed 0.1% to 1,541.46. Five out of ten groups in the index edged higher. Big Lots Inc. jumped more than 6% to close at $35.97, as the Columbus-grounded retailer's report showed improving sales in its stores in the U.S. and Canada. Big lots forecasts that its full year earnings per share will be somewhere in between $3.05 and $3.25, beating the analysts' estimates. Furthermore, Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold advanced 4.1% as its stock was raised from neutral to buy at Bank of America by Merrill Lynch. United States Steel Corporation rallied 4% to pace gains in basic materials that were 1.2% up. Alongside to that, Staples Inc, the office supplier, dropped 7.2%, as investors reacted on its lower-than-expected forecast for earnings in 2013.
