The Markets:

Oil rose as the U.S. dollar index fell following news that only eight European banks failed stress tests.

 

“The European Banking Authority said five banks in Spain, two in Greece and one in Austria flunked the "stress test," which made 90 lenders reveal for the first time their profit forecasts, a breakdown of their sovereign bond holdings and funding costs.

 

Expectations were for five to 15 banks to fall short and need to raise 10 billion euros or more in capital, prompting analysts to question how credible the test was.”

 

Treasuries ended with a small gain as the Dow, Nasdaq, and S&P closed only slightly higher on worries over debt and the economy.

 

Among the big names making news in the market Friday were Google, Citigroup, Clorox, Zillow, Credit Suisse, BHP Billiton and Petrohawk, and Meredith Whitney.
