Stocks open higher, bonds down on tax plan

Stocks rise, Treasury bonds in steep fall, as investors weigh compromise tax-cut plan

NEW YORK (AP) — The compromise backed by President Barack Obama and Republican leaders on extending tax cuts for two years is lifting stocks but crushing bonds Wednesday.

Investors expect the tax-cut deal to boost economic growth but also widen the budget deficit. Estimates of the plan's cost range as high as $900 billion over the next few years.

Treasury prices are dropping in early Wednesday trading, sending their yields higher for a second day. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note rose to 3.22 percent, the highest level since June 21.

That means higher borrowing costs for the U.S. government when the Treasury auctions off $21 billion in 10-year notes later Wednesday.

Stocks opened higher. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 15 points, or 0.1 percent, to 11,374.07. The Standard & Poor's 500 index rose 3, or 0.2 percent, to 1,226.73. The Nasdaq composite index rose 8.5, or 0.3, to 2,607.00.
