FMC shares shot sharply higher. Alcoa rose. BMO raised the rating on the aluminum giant to "outperform" from "market perform." Consumer spending barely rose in the U.S. in February, and consumer sentiment slipped in March. Utilites and tech stocks helped push the European markets higher. But the FTSE lost ground.
