Europe was somewhat quiet and U.S. economic data was mixed. There was also a ton of corporate news.
First, the scoreboard:
Dow: +32.6 pts, +0.3%
S&P 500: +2.7 pts, +0.2%
NASDAQ: -11.8 pts, -0.5%
And now, the top stories:
A quick update on Europe: things are still awful. Italy had another horrible bond auction this morning where demand was weak and yields shot north of 7%. A French newspaper (via Reuters) said S&P could make a negative rating action on France within ten days.
