Equities Mid-Day Stock Market Roundup: Good Friday Edition
Equities Editors Desk Follow |U.S. stocks were...closed today as the major stock markets celebrated the Good Friday holiday. But the biggest news seems to be that Japanese automakers may not see as big of a supply shock as earlier expected. This caused a surge in Japanese auto stocks trading on the Nikkei index, as many investors had feared that the production halt caused from the March natural disasters would take longer to resolve. Elsewhere, after breaking through to the $1,500 level, gold prices continues to rise.
