Major U.S. stock-indexes rose on Tuesday after data showed retail sales continued to climb in August but investors remained cautious ahead of this week's Federal Reserve meeting. U.S. consumer spending appeared to grow at a healthy pace halfway through the third quarter, pointing to solid domestic demand that could persuade the Fed to raise interest rates. Analysts said an interest rate hike would remove the uncertainty that has dogged the market for several weeks.

Almost all of Dow stocks in positive area (29 of 30). Top looser - The Walt Disney Company (DIS, -1.08%). Top gainer - Chevron Corporation (CVX, +2.27).

All S&P index sectors in positive area. Top gainer - Industrial goods (+0,9%).
