Best day of 2013 for Dow on possible debt deal

NEW YORK (CNNMoney)
Washington didn't even need to finalize a debt ceiling deal to convince investors to buy stocks again.
The Dow posted its best gains of the year, adding more than 300 points, or 2.2%. Both the S& P 500 and the Nasdaq also advanced more than 2%.
The reason for the euphoria? House Republicans offered a proposal to raise the debt ceiling temporarily, while the government would remain partially shut down.
Relief rippled throughout the financial markets.
One key proxy for investor fear, the CBOE's Volatility Index (VIX) or the VIX, dropped 16%. It had spiked in recent days. CNNMoney's own Fear and Greed Index, which tracks the VIX and six other gauges of sentiment, moved higher. The index still shows Fear, but it had been flashing signs of Extreme Fear for the past few days.
Related: Investors a little less afraid
Rates on short-term Treasuries, known as T-bills, also dipped slightly Thursday, another indication that investors now believe a U.S. default is less likely.
The optimism about a possible deal also spread to European markets, which closed up between 1.5% and 2.2%. Asian markets ended mixed.
Investors have been growing increasingly concerned as October 17th, a key deadline to increase the debt ceiling, comes closer. Should politicians fail to raise the debt ceiling, the U.S. is likely to default on some of its debt or could be forced to choose between interest payments on the debt and paying for key government services.

Unemployment edging up? Although the government has still not reported on the latest monthly employment figures due to the shutdown, there was another weekly report out Thursday that could have made investors uneasy about the jobs market. The Labor Department's report on initial jobless claims showed a sharp jump in claims over the previous week. |

European stocks rebounded from a one-month low, U.S. index futures and the dollar advanced while Treasuries fell as American lawmakers indicated they?re open to a short-term increase in the debt ceiling. Crude oil increased after Libya?s prime minister was taken by a revolutionary group.
The Stoxx Europe 600 Index climbed 1 percent to 308.09 at 9:30 a.m. in London and Standard & Poor?s 500 Index (SPX) futures rose 0.8 percent. The U.S. currency appreciated for a third day against the yen while the 10-year Treasury yield increased to a two-week high. Corporate bond risk declined for the first time in four days. Brent oil added 0.8 percent after a Libyan official said Prime Minister Ali Zaidan was taken from a Tripoli hotel this morning.
House Republican and Senate Democratic leaders in the U.S. are open to an increase in the $16.7 trillion debt ceiling, according to congressional aides. Hong Kong Exchanges & Clearing Ltd. increased the haircut on U.S. Treasury bills for maturities of less than 1 year. Treasury Secretary Jacob J. Lew is scheduled to testify before the Senate Finance Committee today.
?It?s just not very likely the political gridlock will persist because the fallout could be catastrophic to the U.S. and the world economy,? Donald Williams, the Sydney-based chief investment officer at Platypus Asset Management Ltd., which oversees about A$1.6 billion ($1.5 billion), said by phone. ?But having said that, the market is uncertain until this is resolved and so we?ve got choppy trading conditions ahead for the next week or so.?
Banks Gain
The Stoxx 600 rebounded from the lowest close since Sept. 5 as all 19 industry groups advanced. Italy?s Banco Popolare SC and Germany?s Commerzbank AG led gains in financial shares, rising more than 4 percent. CGG (CGG), the largest seismic surveyor of oilfields, rallied 4.9 percent in Paris after saying its vessel production rate climbed.
The gain in S& P 500 futures indicated the U.S. gauge will extend yesterday?s 0.1 percent advance. A report at 8:30 a.m. in Washington may show initial claims for jobless benefits increased by 3,000 to 311,000 last week, according to a Bloomberg survey of economists.
The MSCI Emerging Markets Index gained 0.2 percent Benchmark gauges in Indonesia, Turkey, Thailand and Poland advanced at least 0.7 percent. The Shanghai Composite Index lost 0.9 percent, led by financial companies on concern earnings growth will slow.
