Which is kind of fitting, since it's the seventh birthday of this bull market.
Near 12:11 p.m .ET, the Dow was up 66 points, the S&P 500 was up 12 points, and the Nasdaq was up 19 points.
The Dow closed down 109 points on Tuesday after a quiet day as far as economic data was concerned.
MBA mortgage applications crossed this morning, and were shown to rise 0.2% last week, rebounding from a 4.8% drop in the prior week.
Wholesale Inventories rose 0.3% in January, the latest data showed, beating the forecast for a drop by 0.2%.
And, the Energy Information Administration said crude oil inventories rose 3.88 million barrels last week, which was less than expected.
Crude oil prices are also rising again like stocks. West Texas Intermediate crude futures for April delivery in New York rose nearly 4% to as high as $38.01 per barrel.
