Stocks are higher this morning after 23 European nations agreed to tie their economies closer together in hopes of preventing any future debt crisis. This new treaty will penalize budgetary offenders that threaten the euro zone. Germany and France were hopeful to persuade all 27 euro zone countries, but Britain and three others refused to join.

“It’s going to be the basis for a good fiscal compact and more discipline in economic policy in the euro area members,” Draghi said. “We came to conclusions that will have to be fleshed out more in the coming days.”
