Stock-bull

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA – 12,626.02) clawed its way to a gain of 56.2 points, or 0.5%, to end north of 12,600 for the first time since May 19. Nineteen of the Dow's 30 components finished higher, led by Caterpillar's (CAT) 1.5% advance. On the flip side, financial concerns Bank of America (BAC) and JPMorgan Chase (JPM) led the 10 laggards with losses of 2.4% and 1.2%, respectively, while Pfizer (PFE) split the difference by ending flat.

The S&P 500 Index (SPX – 1,339.22) couldn't garner as much steam as its blue-chip counterpart, but still settled with a gain of 1.3 points, or 0.1%. However, the SPX's upward trajectory stalled in the 1,340 region. Finally, the Nasdaq Composite (COMP – 2,834.02) tacked on 8.3 points, or 0.3%, extending its winning streak to seven straight sessions -- a feat not accomplished since mid-April.

U.S. stocks once again explored both sides of the breakeven line today, though the bulls ultimately prevailed in spite of a plethora of uninspiring headlines. Across the pond, Moody's downgrade of Portugal's credit rating initially dragged stocks lower, reviving lingering concerns about the fiscal health of Europe. Meanwhile, China's third rate hike of the year fueled inflationary concerns, though the country's move to tame rising prices translated into a boon for gold. What's more, the fundamental backdrop on the home front wasn't much better, with the Institute for Supply Management's (ISM) services index falling by more than expected last month. Nevertheless, it seems nothing could cut the bulls down to size -- not even a looming dose of payrolls data -- with all three major market indexes settling comfortably in the black.
