The deficit commission’s pledge to bring the deficit down to a managed level and the hope that the Euro-Zone won’t implode gave markets a steady boost today. Add in higher ISM data and higher jobs data than expected, along with predictions of solid retail numbers, and we had a huge rally. A gain of more than 200 points qualifies as a huge day.

Here were today’s unofficial closing bells:

Dow Jones 11,255.78 +249.76 (2.27%)
S&P 500 1,206.07 +19.47 (1.64%)
Nasdaq 2,549.43 +51.20 (2.05%)

Today got a boost from a less-bad GDP that came in as a revised 1.6%. Slow growth, but not as slow as what was expected. Even an overdue warning from Intel did not manage to be bad enough to stall the market recovery. After Ben Bernanke said he’d do whatever it took to maintain a recovery, stocks and oil rose, and some of the air came out of the bond bubble.

Here were today’s closing bell levels:

Dow Jones 10,151.18 +165.37 (1.66%)
S&P 500 1,064.60 +17.38 (1.66%)
Nasdaq 2,153.63 +34.94 (1.65%)
