NEW YORK (AP) -- The Dow Jones industrial average jumped back above 10,000 on hope that a resolution was near for Greece's debt crisis.
The Dow rose 150 points Tuesday, a day after closing below 10,000 for the first time in three months. The major indexes all gained more than 1 percent. Treasury prices slid as demand for safer investments fell.
Global markets bounced back on reports that plans are being developed in the European Union to rescue Greece. That raised hopes that policymakers will take bigger steps to contain debt troubles in other weak European economies including Portugal and Spain.
Though Greece's economy is small, that country's yawning budget gaps were undermining faith in the euro, Europe's common currency. Investors also believed that other countries might have trouble raising money in debt markets, which would hamper efforts to get their economies going again.
