Big Bounce for Wall Street

U.S. Treasury bonds, which didn't trade Monday in observance of the Veteran's Day holiday, were lower. The 10-year note was down 11/32 in price, pushing the yield to 4.27%. The 30-year bond was off 6/32, yielding 4.62%.

Overseas markets were mixed. In Asia, Hong Kong's Hang Seng added 0.5%, and Japan's Nikkei 225 fell 0.5%. The split move came after the Bank of Japan said it would keep key interest rates unchanged. BOJ Governor Toshihiko Fukui said the global economy is at risk if the U.S. housing slump spreads internationally.

Among European bourses, London's FTSE 100 tacked on 0.4%, while Germany's Xetra Dax slipped 0.4%.
