Oil and the U.S. dollar index fell on poor economic data that sent treasuries higher and the Dow, Nasdaq, and S&P noticeably lower for most of the day, but all three indices rallied back to about unchanged in the last hour of trade on news that BP has halted the flow of oil into the Gulf of Mexico. Reports of a potential settlement between the SEC and Goldman Sachs also seemed to ease some worries. The SEC is set to make an official announcement later this afternoon.
Among the big names making news in the market today were Marriott, KKR, BP, Berkshire Hathaway, and JPMorgan.
