Closing Bell: Stocks move away from dollar & oil (DNDN, FNM, SNSS, IMAX, RX, BA, ERTS)
We started seeing some divergence again as stocks rose while the dollar was up and oil was down. Maybe markets will go back to acting more on their internal fundamentals and their own technical patterns rather than that of the dollar or the price of oil, as crude closed under $70 and as stocks stayed strong. Inflation was rather tame at 0.7% in commodity imports if you take out the price of oil. Overseas market strength kept a solid floor under any selling attempts by bears today. Here are the unofficial closing bell levels:
Dow 10,471.50 +65.67 (0.63%)
S&P 500 1,106.41 +4.06 (0.37%)
Nasdaq 2,190.31 -0.55 (-0.03%)

Closing Bell: Good news or bad news, the market was up for the day (AOL, SNSS, ENER, ALU, BSX, CIEN, F)
The markets just wanted to close higher today. A slight gain in the weekly jobless claims had no real impact and a really poor 30-Year Treasury auction that just hints at the demand for rates to rise had only a temporary effect against the stock market. Here were today's unofficial closing bell levels:
Dow 10,406.66 +69.61 (0.67%)
S&P 500 1,102.35 +6.40 (0.58%)
Nasdaq 2,190.86 +7.13 (0.33%)
