DJI-NEW YORK, Aug 21 (Reuters) - U.S. stocks ended the week at 2009 highs on Friday after a surprising rise in home sales and optimistic comments from Federal Reserve chief Ben Bernanke reassured investors about the prospects for an economic recovery.

At the Fed's annual conference in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, Bernanke gave his clearest signal yet that the global economy is emerging from a recession. But the Fed chairman warned that growth would be sluggish for a time.
The Dow Jones industrial average <.DJI> jumped 155.91 points, or 1.67 percent, to end at 9,505.96. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index <.SPX> climbed 18.76 points, or 1.86 percent, to 1,026.13. The Nasdaq Composite Index <.IXIC> rose 31.68 points, or 1.59 percent, to 2,020.90.
