Oil rose as the U.S. dollar index and treasuries fell on more quantitative easing talks that sent the Dow, Nasdaq, and S&P markedly higher. Today’s impetus came from the Bank of Japan who “pledged to pump more funds into the struggling economy and keep rates virtually at zero, surprising markets and stealing a march on the Federal Reserve in providing a fresh dose of economic stimulus.”
Among the big names making news in the market today were Walgreen, Goldman Sachs, and Ford.
