We had a bullish tone out of President Obama’s speech on CNBC. We also received confirmation today that the recession is over.

Crude oil closed up $1.20 to $74.86 after rising to as high as $675.45. Gold settled up $3.30 to $1,280.80 an ounce.

Despite today's excitement, futures trading suggests that stocks will open flat on Tuesday.

The one downside to the rally: The extra yield investors demand to own Ireland and Portugal’s government debt jumped to a record high.
