AP - Wall Street advanced for a fifth straight session on Thursday, sending the Dow Jones industrials to yet another record close, after the Labor Department said falling gas prices helped push inflation lower last month. This helped bolster sentiment the economy can slow enough to allow the Federal Reserve to eventually lower interest rates. A plunge in oil prices, which raised the prospect of even lower inflation, contributed to the advance.
