4 October 2001, 11:47  U.S. share prices rallied sharply

Wednesday boosted by an earnings confirmation from Cisco and an economic report that showed surprising strength in the service sector. The Dow Jones Industrials rose 173.19, or 1.9 percent, to 9123.78, while the Nasdaq Composite gained 88.48, or 5.9 percent, to 1580.81. The good news from Cisco, up 2.62 at 14.10 [CSCO], sparked a big move at midday. Cisco CEO John Chambers said he was comfortable with estimates and said business has been remarkably consistent over the last four months, including September. //MarketNews
