Active broad-market exchange-traded funds in Thursday's regular session: iShares MSCI Emerging Index Fund ( EEM ): +1.5% U.S. stocks extended gains into the session's half as investors dismissed signs of inflationary pressures and soft factory output data, instead, focusing on the 10-year Treasury note yield, which backed away from the 3.0% trigger. Syntel (SYNT) rose 15.7% after the company reported Q4 net income of $0.62 per share increased from $0.57 a year ago and was affected by $0.11 due to one-time tax provisions.
