Among the best-performing sectors in early trading were specialty retailers, power generators, network builders and entertainment companies. Chip stocks rose, primarily on the back of a 5% gain in Advanced Micro Devices, reportedly in line for a big contract from Samsung.

Oil companies, pharmaceutical firms and beverage stocks suffered light selling.

A very similar setup welcomed Wednesday?s post-Christmas trading. Extremely light trading volume -- yesterday was the lightest yet this year -- tends to raise volatility.
