BB&T and Comerica added 0.44% and 0.83% while Allegheny Technologies and Eastman Chemical Company climbed 1.86% and 1.40%. The top-gainer was NYSE Euronext, surging 34.30% after the company announced that it has agreed to be acquired by ICE for USD8.2 billion in cash and stock. Intercontinentalexchange gained 1.40% after the announcement. On the upside was also Amazon.Com, jumping 1.36% as its Amazon Studios is planning to produce six comedy series pilots.
