The stock market applauded a jobs report today that showed strong payrolls but with concerns enough to keep the Fed reticent to taper just yet, starting the 'Independence Day' week trading session on an up note.
All three major indices had drifted higher into the labor report and Friday's movement sealed a second-straight week of gains for all of them. $S&P 500 Index (.SPX.US)$+0.75%, $Nasdaq Composite Index (.IXIC.US)$+0.81%, $Dow Jones Industrial Average (.DJI.US)$
