dow

For the past six weeks, Wall Street traders have optimistically pushed the Dow up. Now, Wall Street will debate whether this is beginning or end of eurozone's debt crisis. 

Investors' ongoing mixed feelings about Europe’s debt woes seemed to turn optimistic Tuesday as stocks rallied from the opening bell. Good housing news also helped. 

Market indexes gained more than 4 percent and the Dow closed up 490 points after the Federal Reserve and central banks took action on the European debt crisis.

The stock market was not exactly surprised that the so-called supercommittee failed to reach a deal to cut the federal deficit. But on Monday, investors sold big.

Stocks closed mixed Friday as investors balanced signs of future growth in the U.S. economy with a looming deadline for Congress to reach a deal in deficit-reduction talks.

Stocks closed mixed Friday afternoon as traders scrutinized a plan to contain Europe's debt crisis that sent the market soaring a day earlier.

The stock market’s recent rally has cooled with stocks ending Tuesday trading essentially flat.

A day after Wall Street broke a three-day winning streak, stocks rose sharply again, with the Dow gaining over 200 points after upbeat U.S. economic data and optimism over Europe.
