Stocks Surge Higher on Hopes of $700 Billion Bailout Plan Winning Approval

 

Stocks surge higher as investors pin hopes on approval of the government’s $700 billion bailout plan, but credit markets remain tight.

 

In midmorning trading, the Dow Jones industrial average rose 236.80, or 2.19 percent, to 11,061.97. The Dow fell 563 points, or 4.95 percent, in the first three sessions this week.

Broader stock indicators also rose Thursday. The Standard & Poor's 500 index rose 22.86, or 1.93 percent, to 1,208.73, and the Nasdaq composite index rose 38.32, or 1.78 percent, to 2,194.00.

The dollar was mixed against other major currencies, while gold prices fell slightly.

Light, sweet crude for November delivery fell 6 cents to $105.67 on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

 

Strained credit markets continue tightened indicating that investors are waiting to see the details of the government’s bailout package.

Demand remained high for the 3-month Treasury bill, considered the safest short-term investment, with the yield trading at 0.47 percent, down from 0.49 percent late Wednesday. That means investors are still willing to earn the slimmest of returns in exchange for a safe place to put their money. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note rose to 3.84 percent from 3.81 late Wednesday.

In another sign of credit market tightness, the benchmark three-month London Interbank Offered Rate, a bank-to-bank lending rate known as LIBOR, jumped 0.29 percentage point to 3.77 percent.

The modern meat-centered diets of the wealthy nations feature highly processed foods and feedlot animals replete with chemicals, hormones, and antibiotics. Specifically, organics have a different mix of fats, with far more of the omega-3 fatty acids that help keep arteries clean, maintain modest body weight, and build the immunity system. Benefits of organic beef eliminate refined carbohydrates and poor-quality meats in diets.
