The S&P 500 Index ($SPX) (SPY) today is up +0.17%, the Dow Jones Industrials Index ($DOWI) (DIA) is up +0.24%, and the Nasdaq 100 Index ($IUXX) (QQQ) is up +0.03%.
Stock indexes today are slightly higher. The strength of today’s report on US May manufacturing production gave stocks a boost as it eased concerns about a slowdown in consumer spending based on the weaker-than-expected US May retail sales report. A decline in T-note yields today is also supporting modest gains in stocks.
