Oil ended slightly lower but remained near two month highs as traders kept an eye on a developing tropical storm in the Gulf of Mexico.
The U.S. dollar index and treasuries fell as the Dow, Nasdaq, and S&P rose about 1% in afternoon trade after European bank stress test results were revealed without raising any significant concerns as only 7 of the 91 banks failed the “test.” News that GE is raising its dividend also encouraged the bulls.
