The Dow closed up 31 points to 11164 today, as stock market rallied with a better-than-expected​ report on existing-home sales and peace among the G-20 nations over currency rates. 

Stocks finished higher today, but a big opening jump faded as the day wore on. Financial shares were a drag on the market in part because of worries about the foreclosure mess and profit-taking after a strong performance last week. 

The G-20 meeting did nothing for the dollar, which has been lower against major currencies today, helping metals prices move higher. Gold settled up $13.80 to $1,338.90 an ounce. Crude oil settled up 83 cents to $82.52.
