Stock Market Today

September 28, 2016

The roughly 2:00 PM turnaround can be mostly attributed to surprisingly good news from OPEC, which was reported to have reached a cap deal to limit oil output. By the closing bell, all three major market indexes had registered full-day gains, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average leading the pack with a 111 point surge. Read more
