It's The Economy Stupid: Stocks Rebound

U.S. stocks rebounded from yesterday’s drop and the Dollar Index rose to the highest level since July 2010 as better-than-estimated economic data fueled speculation the Federal Reserve will consider scaling back stimulus. Gold extended its longest slump in four years.  The S&P 500 extended gains today after reports showed consumer sentiment improved and the Conference Board’s index of leading indicators rebounded in April. The U.S. central bank may reduce its $85 billion in monthly bond-buying as early as this summer amid signs the economy is gaining strength.  The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index climbed 1 percent to a record 1,666.09 at 4 p.m. in New York and the Stoxx Europe 600 Index closed 0.2 percent higher. The gauge of the U.S. currency against six major trade partners gained 0.8 percent to 84.28.
