Today Ben Bernanke signaled that the central bank is likely to keep its key interest-rate target near zero a while longer, which helped dispel fears that better-than-expected jobs data released Friday would lead the Fed to raise rates sooner than expected to prevent inflation. Stocks rose after his remarks but quickly fell back as investors focused on the economy.

The main highlight today was the fact the Gold and Oil both dropped again. Natural Gas was higher due to colder then expected weather in the Northeast.
