U.S. stocks traded modestly higher, awaiting the Fed Reserve''s interest-rate decision. Investors received well the Commerce Department''s report that construction of new homes and apartments rose by 9%. However, homebuilders declined on the prospect of fewer permit applications. Toll Brothers, D.R. Horton, Centex, KB Home and Hovnanian Enterprises moved to the downside. Some deal talk also generated positive sentiment.
