Oil and the U.S. dollar index rose while treasuries fell as traders positioned themselves ahead of tomorrow’s fed announcement and $34 billion 3-year note auction.

 

The Dow, Nasdaq, and S&P rose on hopes the fed will announce some economically simulative measures tomorrow.

 

Among the big names making news in the market today were Nabors, Dish, Tyson, Goldman Sachs, McDonald’s, BP, and Chrysler.
