The New York Stock Exchange found its colors at the opening, starting clearly in the green, after much better than expected employment figures: the Dow Jones advanced 0.89%, the Nasdaq rose 1.11%, and the S&P of 1.03%.
Bond rates were also picking up, with the yield on US 10-year debt moving to 1.59% after hitting its highest level of the year at 1.62% just before the opening, as the US economy appears rebound strongly with 379,000 new jobs created in February, three times more than in January.
