Opening Bell: U.S. Stocks Rally as Brexit Fears Diminish; Shire Shares Gain
U.S. stocks rose Wednesday, building on Tuesday's gains, as Brexit fears dissipated. Analysts said Brexit shouldn't affect U.S. economic growth.

'This really matters for the UK and Europe - both economies are going to slow down as a result.' Shares of Shire (SHPG) - Get Report were on the rise after its ADHD treatment trial met various standards. The treatment will now be resubmitted to the Food and Drug Administration. Meanwhile, personal income in May rose 0.2 percent month-over-month, missing estimates of 0.3 percent. Consumer spending rose 0.4 percent, matching estimates.
