Stocks are higher as investors’ focus returned to the improving health of the domestic economy
Stocks rose Wednesday as investors’ focus returned to the improving health of the domestic economy.
A new Commerce Department report showed exports jumped in March to their highest levels since 2008. That bodes well for the manufacturing sector, which has shown consistent improvement in recent months.
Investors had turned their attention for more than a week to Greece’s debt crisis, which threatened to affect other weak European countries and fracture the 16-nation currency union that uses the euro.
European markets rose as volatility eased. Stocks rallied sharply around the world Monday after European leaders agreed to a nearly $1 trillion bailout to help contain the debt problems that spooked markets last week.
