Oil rose on strong economic data from China and the US.  The EIA reported that crude inventories rose 3.4 million barrels, gasoline inventories fell 200,000 barrels, and distillates fell 700,000 barrels.

 

The U.S. dollar index and treasuries fell rather markedly after a much better than expected ISM Index reading in the US and a rising PMI in China raised optimism about the health of the global economy and sent the Dow, Nasdaq, and S&P over 2% higher.

 

Among the big names making news in the market today were Borders, GM, Apple, Amazon, Heinz, Burger King, JPMorgan, and ING.
