The market held up well considering the news flow today. The jobless claims grew again and the retail sales were far from impressive. We had Obama publicly attacking the banks for more taxes, and even that didn't hurt the bank stocks. A well-received 30-Year Treasury auction helped with those who might spread fear about a bond market bubble as well. Here are the unofficial closing bell levels:
Dow 10,711.60 +30.83 (0.29%)
S&P 500 1,148.61 +2.93 (0.26%)
Nasdaq 2,318.01 +10.11 (0.44%)
