Investing.com -- U.S. stocks are rising as investors await the outcome of debt ceiling negotiations.

At 10:50 ET (14:50 GMT), the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 332 points or 1%, while the S&P 500 was up 1.1% and the NASDAQ Composite was up 1.6%.

Lawmakers appear close to announcing a framework for an agreement, though the debt ceiling deadline of early June is still looming as Congress takes a break for the Memorial Day weekend.

Deputy Treasury Secretary Wally Adeyemo said lawmakers are making progress in reaching a deal. Uncertainty has weighed on stocks this week, with the S&P and the Dow on course for their worst week in about two months.
