Stocks closed higher today as news that leaders of France and Germany agreed on a European debt plan that they claim would restrict future deficits while protecting the euro zone from future financial crises. The plan would require a new treaty signed by all 17 nations using the euro and leaders would like the entire 27 country EU to sign it. Stocks came off their session highs in late trading though after Standard & Poor’s put the top 6 euro zone countries on credit watch negative. This means there is a 50% chance of a downgrade within the next three months. The Dow ended the day up 78 points, the Nasdaq was up 28 points and the S&P was up 12 points.
