Maybe there is an FOMC meeting about to start, and maybe there is a talking down of the economy expected there, but maybe there are some hopes of ways to help. But there were also no major economic news releases this morning. The dollar caught some of its breath back as well.<br />
<br />
These were today's unofficial closing bell levels:<br />
<br />
Dow Jones 10,698.82 +45.26 (0.42%) <br />
S&amp;P 500 1,127.75 +6.11 (0.54%) <br />
Nasdaq 2,305.69 +17.22 (0.75%)<br />
