U.S. Stocks Join in Global Rally
U.S. markets joined in a global rally Wednesday, sparked by a long-awaited resolution on the fiscal cliff. The Dow and S&P 500 soared roughly two percent in early trading while the Nasdaq surged more than two and a half percent. Commodities moved higher too. Oil jumped almost two percent and gold hit a two-week high. U.S. lawmakers' approved plan to avoid $600 billion in tax increases give many people, like Victor Quintana, a sense of relief.
