NEW YORK (AP) - The Dow is setting at its highest level since December 2007, the start of the Great Recession.

The market enjoyed a huge rally yesterday as investors embraced the Federal Reserve's announcement of stronger steps aimed at boosting the economy.

The gain pushed the Dow to 13,540, up 207 points. The S&P 500 rose 23 points to 1,460. The Nasdaq added 42 points to 3,156.

There were nearly four stocks rising for every one falling. Volume was on the heavier side at 4.5 billion shares.
