NEW YORK - A resilient economy and strong consumer demand are expected to fuel a slight rise in third-quarter U.S. earnings, which could throw a lifeline to a stock rally that has stumbled in recent months.
After a rough September for stocks, "we need some good news" from earnings season, said Matthew Miskin, co-chief investment strategist at John Hancock Investment Management.

"We know companies are investing a lot," Ragan said.
