The U.S. stock market extended its rally higher this week, led by technology stocks and lagged by small-cap stocks. The market rallied due to a string of favorable economic indicators, including nonfarm payroll beating estimates on Friday. The trade deficit shrank 11% in March due to increasing domestic oil supplies; unemployment applications fell to a seasonally adjusted 324,000 last week; and productivity grew to a seasonally adjusted 0.7% annual rate in Q1 2013.
