The markets surged on Thursday after a solid Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia manufacturing reading, a lower than expected weekly initial jobless claims figure, and fears tied to Ireland’s debt crisis eased. As of this writing, all 30 Dow Jones Industrial Average components are in positive territory on the day, and a look at tickerspy’s top performing Indexes shows a number of high-flying sectors are gaining more than 3% in the rally.
