Wall Street opens up on Europe optimism (Reuters)

NEW YORK (Reuters) ? Stocks opened higher on Tuesday on signs of progress in dealing with Europe's long-running sovereign debt crisis.

The Dow Jones industrial average (.DJI) rose 65.09 points, or 0.51 percent, to 12,718.81. The S&P 500 Index (.INX) added 7.98 points, or 0.61 percent, to 1,320.99. The Nasdaq Composite (.IXIC) gained 17.19 points, or 0.61 percent, to 2,829.13.

The S&P 500 triggered a bullish technical signal as its 50-day average ticked above its 200-day average. The occurrence, known as a "golden cross," indicates a shift in mid-term momentum and has historically indicated gains in the index six months down the road.
