NEW YORK, May 24 (Reuters) - U.S. stocks rose on Friday, recovering some losses suffered in the prior session as data showed improving consumer sentiment on inflation, to put the Nasdaq and S&P 500 on track for a fifth straight weekly gain.
However, the Dow .DJI was set to snap its five-week rally a day after registering its largest daily percentage decline in over a year.
The Nasdaq jumped more than 1% on the day.
The Commerce Department said new orders for key U.S.-manufactured capital goods rebounded more than expected in April while the University of Michigan reported that consumers' inflation expectations improved in late May after deteriorating early in the month.
"The data has come in a little better than people thought this morning. Durable goods was a pretty solid number. ... And then consumer sentiment, not great, but not bad, better than people expected," said Rob Haworth, senior investment strategist at U.S. Bank Wealth Management in Seattle.
"This is a bounce where people are like maybe things aren't as bad as we thought, maybe there's room for the Fed to cut rates and the economy's going to be OK, and we're not completely falling apart."
The Dow Jones Industrial Average .DJI rose 72.07 points, or 0.18%, to 39,137.33, the S&P 500 .SPX gained 40.81 points, or 0.77%, at 5,308.65 and the Nasdaq Composite .IXIC climbed202.76 points, or 1.21%, to 16,938.79.
