The Dow Jones Industrial Average /quotes/comstock/10w!i:dji/delayed (INDU 8,842, +103.16, +1.18%) gained 113 points, or 1.3%, to 8,852, briefly touching an intraday high of 8,877 earlier on. The S&P 500 index /quotes/comstock/10u!spx.x (SPX 952.31, +13.19, +1.40%) gained 13 points, or 1.5%, to 953, while the Nasdaq Composite /quotes/comstock/10y!i:comp (COMP 1,874, +21.37, +1.15%) rose 22 points, or 1.3%, to 1,876. The government received strong demand, with bidders offering 2.68 times the amount of debt being sold, the highest in a year. 30-year bonds and other Treasurys fell, sending yields lower. Concerns have mounted recently, that the government's debt needs would lift yields, which serve as benchmarks for many commercial interest rates, including mortgage rates.
