Stocks end down month on an up note

NEW YORK — New hopes that a deal would prevent Greece from defaulting on its debts led the stock market to end a down month on an up note.

An unexpected drop in consumers' confidence in the U.S. economy kept the gains in check.

The stock market finished broadly higher Tuesday. All 10 industries that make up the Standard and Poor's 500 index rose.

The Dow Jones industrial average added 128 points, or 1 percent, to finish at 12,570. The S&P 500 rose 14 points, or 1.1 percent, to 1,345. The Nasdaq gained 38, or 1.4 percent, to 2,835. Each index finished the month down more than 1 percent.

Three stocks rose for every one that fell on the New York Stock Exchange. Consolidated volume came to 4.1 billion shares.
