It's The Economy Stupid: Market Close

The market’s up!   Gold is down!

 

U.S. stocks and commodities rose amid better-than-estimated economic data and assurances from Federal Reserve officials that the central bank will continue to spur growth if needed.   

 

Gold dipped to a 34-month low below $1,200 an ounce. Ten-year Treasury yields lost six basis points to 2.48 percent.

 

U.S. consumer spending rebounded, pending home sales jumped to the highest level since 2006 and jobless claims declined last week, reports showed today. Federal Reserve Bank of New York President William C. Dudley said the central bank may prolong its asset-purchase program if the economy’s performance fails to meet the Fed’s forecasts.

    

The S&P 500’s three-day advance of 2.6 percent is its best rally since the beginning of the year. The index trimmed its June decline to 1 percent. The benchmark gauge of American stocks is up 2.9 percent in the second quarter and 13 percent in 2013.
