The early focus was on overseas markets after stocks rallied across Europe and parts of Asia. UK’s FTSE paced the advance with a 2.9 percent gain. The domestic news was less bullish, however, after the ISM Services Index unexpectedly fell to 53.8 in June, down from 55.4 the month before and well below expectations of 55.
