U.S. shares rose on Friday with all three stock benchmarks advancing as investors were awaiting a vote on a closely watched health-care bill while new orders for durable goods climbed faster than expected.

Commerce Department reported orders for U.S. durable goods increased 1.7 percent after a 2.3 percent advance the prior month that was larger than previously estimated. While durable goods jumped for the second straight month, the so-called core durable goods orders which strip out transportation equipment increased 0.4 percent.
Voting on amended Trump’s health-care legislation that would replace the Affordable Care Act, widely known as Obamacare, is scheduled for late-afternoon Friday.
