Thu, 16 Oct 2008 13:43:00 GMT

A large batch of earnings reports (see MER, C, & NOK, UNH, BAX, UTX, EBAY), a better than expected CPI reading and falling jobless claims have set the positive tone in addition to rumors that we're going to see more global rate cuts and more interventions sooner rather than later.
