February 10, 2015: Markets opened higher on Tuesday as every sector except energy and basic materials posted solid gains on the day. Crude oil settled at near $50.00, down more than 5% for the day, and gold futures finished down 0.8% on an increase in the appetite for risk and a stronger dollar. Shortly before the closing bell the DJIA traded up 0.83% for the day, the S&P 500 traded up 1.11%, and the Nasdaq Composite traded up 1.36%.

The DJIA stock posting the largest daily percentage gain ahead of the close Tuesday was The Coca-Cola Co. (NYSE: KO) which traded up 3.02% at $42.47. The stock’s 52-week range is $36.89 to $45.00. Trading volume was nearly double the daily average of 14 million shares. The company reported good-enough results Tuesday mornings.

UnitedHealth Group Inc. (NYSE: UNH) traded up 2.49% at $109.06. The stock’s 52-week range is $69.58 to $114.32. Trading volume was about equal to the daily average of around 4 million shares. The company had no specific news today.
