The primary stock indices in the U.S. experienced strong gains over the course
of last week overall. The DJIA, Nasdaq, and S&P 500 closed higher. Gains made in
the U.S. marketplace were broadly based, and the weeks positive outcomes were
some of the best in the last several years for stocks. All three primary index
composites finished the last trading session in the green. The final close for
the DJIA was higher by 1.45 percent at 11,644.49. The Nasdaq closed out the last

session higher overall by 1.74 percent at 1,224.58. The positive outcomes in the
U.S. marketplace on Friday were helped along by the positive outcomes that were
observed in the eurozone. Primary indicators in the eurozone pushed higher
Friday as global investors felt reassured that leaders were making headway with
bailout action planning. Britains FTSE, as well as Germanys DAX and Frances CAC
all closed out their respective sessions in the green. The positive sentiment
spilled over to help indices in the U.S. close green. The weekly performance was

Average closed higher for the week by 4.9 percent. The Nasdaq closed out the
week higher by 7.6 percent and the S&P 500 finished the week positive by 6

week. Economic news will be light today. The Federal Reserve will post the
Empire Manufacturing data. The Commerce Department will release the Industrial
Production data for September. Some noteworthy earnings data this day will stem
from Wells Fargo, Halliburton, and IBM. Frank Matto
