Quick Look Market Closing Price:
At the close: Dow +0.5% to 15549. S&P +0.51% to 1689. Nasdaq +0.04% to 3611.

Currencies: Euro -0.11% vs. dollar. Yen +0.96%. Pound -0.06%.
Market recap: The Dow and S&P closed at record highs as weekly jobless
claims fell 24K and the Philly Fed
printed at 19.8, its highest level in more than two years. Bernanke's encore
on Capitol Hill didn't hurt either, as the Chairman reassured
investors that the Fed is "not talking about tightening." Shares of
UnitedHealth soared as the insurer topped profit estimates, Morgan Stanley
posted solid gains after turning in a better than
expected quarter and announcing Fed approval for
buybacks, eBay and Intel
weighed on the Nasdaq, and Dell adjourned
its special shareholder meeting until July 24. Gold futures closed higher for
the seventh time in nine sessions
