Major U.S. stock-indexes slightly rose on Wednesday on growing hopes that Greece would avert a default and as strong domestic data suggested the U.S. economic recovery was on track. Greece's international creditors signaled they were ready to compromise to avert a debt default, with the country's prime minister expected to hear the terms of the plan later on Wednesday. The market also got a boost from data that showed U.S. trade deficit narrowed in April after surging in March, while companies picked up their hiring in May after a pullback the previous month.
