UPDATED 6:20 am ET STOCKS - European shares rose, while the U.S. dollar stood near 2 1/2 month highs against the euro on Thursday, after the Federal Reserve gave a vote of confidence to the U.S. economy and revived expectations it may raise interest rates by year-end. BONDS - In overnight trade, U.S. Treasury yields rose, after the Fed explicitly referred in its statement at the end of its two-day policy meeting, to conditions necessary "to raise the target range at its next meeting." COMMODITIES - Crude oil futures fell, although they retained most of their gains after soaring more than 6 percent overnight as the U.S. government reported an inventory build-up, which triggered a short-covering rally after three days of losses. CURRENCIES - The Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index, which tracks the greenback against 10 major peers, was little changed. It jumped as much as 0.8 percent on Wednesday to its highest level since Aug. 7. ECONOMIC DATA - US Unemployment Claims and Advance GDP due at 8:30, FOMC Member Lockhart Speaks at 9:10, Pending Home Sales m/m at 10:00, Natural Gas Storage at 10:30, JPY Monetary Policy Statement (tentative), NZD ANZ Business Confidence at 20:00 ET.
