英语文摘：Wall Street rallies on Election Day

NEW YORK, Nov. 4 (Xinhua) -- Wall Street refreshed its largest Election Day rally in 24 years on Tuesday with all major indexes soaring more than 3 percent.

    The Commerce Department said Tuesday that factory orders fell 2.5 percent in September from August levels, much worse than the 0.7percent drop analysts predicted.

    However, investors looked beyond economic data trying bottom fishing as uncertainty for the White House is going to be ended.
