Stocks Rally
Stocks rallied(1) today once Wall Street read the fine print accompanying the Fed’s announcement leaving interest rates alone. The Fed gave out some positive signals today saying that economic activity is beginning to firm(2). Analysts say it’s tough to tell how much of today’s rally is attributable to the Fed’s news and how much to an expectable rebound(3) following the Tuesday’s sell-off. Early on investors, dumped(4) companies they perceived to have a difficult time explaining their finances. By the bell those stocks had regained most of their losses if not all. Tyco International, one of those plunged more than $8.00 yesterday, climbed $1.20 today to 34.85. IBM up 2.55 on the day. K-Mart up 19 cents. General Electric 42 cents better. AT & T fell 36 cents to 17.45, says it expects a slight acceleration of revenue decline for the first quarter compared to last year. The Dow up 144 points to 9763, Nasdaq 20 higher. S & P 500 up 13, the Amex up 7. Ten-year bonds are yielding 5%. For Business Week, I’m Gary Nunn, ABC News.

股市回升
随着联储保持利率不变的消息宣告后，今天华尔街股市跌后复升。联邦储备局今天透露积极信号说经济活动开始趋稳。分析家认为很难断定今天的复升有多少归因于联邦储备局消息，有多少是归因于星期二卖空后的一个预期回升。早期在投资者抛售公司股票之后，他们意识到解释公司财政状况将有困难。到今天交易结束之时，多数股票已挽回绝大部分的损失。泰高国际昨天急挫8美元后今天攀升1.20美元至34.85美元。IBM今天升2.55美元，K-Mart升19美分。通用电器造势较好地升了42美分，AT & T跌36美分至17.45美元，宣告说与去年相比公司第一季度的收入下降将会有轻微的加剧。道琼斯指数上升144点至9763点，纳斯达克指数上升20多点。S & P 500上升13点，Amex上升7点。十年期的债券收利5%。这是ABC新闻《一周商业》，我是加里•南。
