With investors becoming more convinced that interest rates may be headed lower, Wall Street staged a technical rally that produced the biggest advance in stock prices in more than a month.

A United States senator who voted against President Reagan's request for aid to the rebels said today that he would have voted in favor had he known of Mr. Ortega's planned trip.
