Today's market might have been sparked by jobs if you read around the web, but Chinese export gains and overseas market gains coupled with a Euro recovery probably added more fuel to the buying fire than anything. Here were today's unofficial closing bell levels:
Dow 10,172.53 +273.28 (2.76%)
S&P 500 1,086.84 +31.15 (2.95%)
Nasdaq 2,218.71 +59.86 (2.77%)
