Wall Street opened the session up again today thanks to hopes for an agreement between Greece and creditors and the rebound of the Asian markets, which closed the eighth session up for the first time in a month. Traders' optimism is reflected by the sell-off affecting Treasuries (and in Europe the German Bund) for the second day in a row.
After the first few minutes of trading, the Dow Jones grew by 206,05 points, or 1,17%, to 17.754,67. The S&P advanced 19,52 points, or 0,97%, to 2.071,16. The Nasdaq gained 61,56 points, or 1,25%, to trade at 4.983,88. Oil slips again: in August the contract drops 0,34% to 52,6 dollars a barrel. All sectors are up, by around 1%, with the exception of utilities: the defensive sector is up by only 0,19%.
