After a two-day straight drop, Dow Jones Industrial
Average Index gained 0.4% or 46.24 points and closed at 12,196.37 on Wednesday.
Gain was mainly supported by a 2.3% increase in JPMorgan Chase & Co. after
the bank reported it has decided to buy back extra shares after paying less
than supervisors allowed in dividends. Mc Donald's Corp. also boosted index
adding 1.4% after company announced 8.7% surge in November sales in Japan.
However, on Thursday morning trade index opened lower at 12,135.48 or 0.5%
down, reflecting Mario Draghi's announcement ECB will not purchase more debt of
troubled European countries.
