Shares of specialty retailers rose Wednesday following a Labor Department report showing consumer prices rose in April less than Wall Street had feared.
The report showed prices rose 0.2 percent during the month. In March, prices rose 0.3 percent.
Department store chain Macy's Inc. also reported a loss in its first quarter partly due to weak sales earlier in the day.
Here is how shares of some specialty retailers fared Wednesday:
OfficeMax Inc., up 53 cents, or 2.7 percent, to $20.33
Lowe's Companies Inc., up 51 cents, or 2.1 percent, to $24.90
Gap Inc., up 49 cents, or 2.7 percent, to $18.95
TJX Cos., up 75 cents, or 2.5 percent, to $31.40
