Oil edged lower after the Energy Information Administration reported that crude inventories rose 9.5 million barrels, gasoline inventories rose 2.8 million barrels, and distillates fell 700,000 barrels.

 

The U.S. dollar index erased early gains and ended lower on uncertainty over whether or not upcoming economic data will be strong enough to warrant a rate hike in March.

 

Treasuries fell as the Dow, Nasdaq, and S&P rose to new record highs again on optimism that recent economic strength can continue.

 

Among the big names making news in the market today were SodaStream, Groupon, Evoke Pharma, Verizon and Yahoo, and PepsiCo.
