Closing Bell: Bulls gutting bears (ATVI, EWBC, GE, JASO, ENZN, MCD)

Today was one of those up days that started out strong and ended stronger. The gains were on the heels of overseas buying and on the dollar weakness. The dollar weakness trumped Hurricane Ida's downgrade to a tropical storm when it came to higher oil prices.

Here were today's unofficial closing bell levels:

Dow 10,227.40 +203.98 (2.04%)
S&P 500 1,093.10 +23.80 (2.23%)
Nasdaq 2,154.06 +41.62 (1.97%)
