DJIA, Nasdaq, S&P 500 Stock Market Investing News Today: The primary indices in
the U.S. moved higher during the closing trading session of the previous week
due, in part, to the increased optimism and confidence which investors felt. The
positive feelings stemmed from better than expected economic data posting in the
U.S., paired with the news out of the eurozone that European leaders are moving
closer to approving bailout funding for Greece. European leaders will meet
Monday to vote on the bailout package and investors are optimistic that the vote
for the bailout funds will be successful. U.S. stocks experienced another
positive week as all three primary indices made gains overall. The Dow Jones
Industrial Average moved higher overall by approximately 1.2 percent last week.
The Nasdaq moved higher by approximately 1.7 percent and the S&P 500 climbed
higher by about 1.4 percent overall. In addition to the positive close for the
week, all three indices are positive for the year as well. The DJIA is higher so
far this year by 6 percent. The Nasdaq is higher by 13 percent and the S&P 500
is green by 8 percent so far. The positively skewed data in the U.S. continues
to mount and the momentum is building. The majority of signs are pointing
towards a sustained economic recovery in process. Frank Matto
