Oil rebounded from yesterday’s notable losses.

The U.S. dollar index traded mostly slightly higher as the yen fell after Japan posted its worst trade deficit for October in over 30 years.

Treasuries fell while the Dow, Nasdaq, and S&P rose on news of a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas.

Among the big names making news in the market today were Autonomy, HP, Facebook, Scholastic, Deere, and Prius.
