Nasdaq and S&P ends up by 1% each. Crude was down $ 5 to $ 130/bbl. Financials get a boost as JPMorgan Chase posts better- than-expected numbers. Treasury bond prices fall and the dollar was mixed. David Kelly of JPMorgan Funds said that a rally is long overdue here. The economy isn't healthy and earnings are not healthy either. But they are getting better. Sequentially, we are going to see a smaller earnings drop this quarter than we saw last quarter and last quarter was better than the quarter before. Same thing is with GDP.

The economy does justify a higher stock market than we are seeing right now. The Dow gained 207.38 points, or 1.85%, to 11,446.66. The Standard & Poor's 500 index rose 14.96 points, or 1.20%, to 1,260.32, and the Nasdaq composite index gained 27.45 points, or 1.20%, to 2,312.30. A look at how the Indian ADRs performed:
