Close Dow +342.95 at 11215, Nasdaq +80.86 at 2166, S&P +35.55 at 1284: The markets staged a massive rally today in the absence of any real market moving events. Buy interest was broad as participation included groups as disparate as gold, biotech, financials and cyclicals. By the end of the day, the Dow had posted a 343 point gain to close at 11,216. This marks the first close over 11,000 since September 14, 2000 and today's move represented a convincing break of this key resistance level. The major averages closed at the day's highs on strong volume...
Two high profile economic reports influenced the early action. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) for April rose 0.3% which was slightly weaker than consensus expectations. The CPI number suggests inflation continues to be under control which gives the Fed a green light to continue with subsequent rate cuts should it deem them necessary. Separately, housing starts rose 1.5% to a 1.609 million unit rate in April which was roughly in line with expectations. The housing data served as additional support to those contending consumer strength remains relatively intact...

Yet in the end, the magnitude of today's move is likely a consequence of yesterday's activity surrounding monetary policy. The Fed came through with a 50 basis point rate cut for the fifth consecutive time and added language suggesting further rate cuts are likely. From the standpoint of history, equities typically rally after the third in a series of Fed easings. With the fifth consecutive rate cut many investors are beginning to feel more comfortable staking out longer term positions. XOI +0.7%, S&P Midcap 400 +2.4%, DJTA +1.5%, DJUA +0.5%, Nasdaq 100 +5.7%, SOX +6.5%, Russell 2000 +1.5%, NYSE Adv/Dec 2078/1011, Nasdaq Adv/Dec 2311/1528
