Dow, Nasdaq Back Up Again As Treasury Yields Tumble

Though the major indexes yesterday came back down to earth, snapping impressive win streaks amid a selloff, they are on their way up again this afternoon. Both the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) and Nasdaq Composite (IXIC) are up triple digits, while the S&P 500 Index (SPX) is higher as well. A tumbling 10-year Treasury yields is contributing to optimism, after slipping to its lowest level since July, alongside jobs data and a gross domestic product (GDP) reading.
