It's The Economy Stupid: Market Close

Gold dropped $18 an ounce today, leading commodities downward.  Stocks rose, with the Dow, NASDAQ, S&P, Russell and Wilshire indices all up on the day.  Technology and automobile companies led stocks higher, and Treasuries fell as the Federal Reserve said the economy maintained a “modest to moderate” pace of growth.  Shares of stocks in the Middle East fell as the U.S. moved closer to a military strike against Syria.  Data released today showed auto sales are at a 6 year high.
