Better-than-expected U.S. retail sales numbers lifted U.S. markets to their best day of 2014 Tuesday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rallied 0.71 percent, while the Nasdaq Composite Index gained 1.7 percent, pushing it into the green for 2014. Retail sales in December rose 0.2 percent, just topping analysts’ expectations of a 0.1 percent increase. "The surge in sales in December means the momentum will continue into the first quarter of the New Year. 2014 is shaping up to be pretty good from where we sit," said Chris Rupkey, chief economist at Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ.
