Closing Bell: Mixed day despite broad market gains


Today's pending home sales showed a 6.3% gain from March to April, although much of the gains are being attributed to bargain hunters. One other help may have come from Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson, who said he would never rule out any tools such as intervention. Even OPEC noted that they wanted to have a meeting to discuss the inequality of current oil prices versus the current supply-demand models and this took off more than $4.00 per barrel of oil. Below are today's unofficial closing prices:
  • DJIA 12,281.29 (+71.48)
  • S&P500 1,361.98 (+1.30)
  • NASDAQ 2,461.33 (-13.23)
