Where are the stories? Google's top news stories is devoid of stock market news. Because as of 2:41 local time the Dow is up 2.39%.  I had to seperately search "dow jones industrial average." Now if it falls before closing, as it did yesterday, and ends up down for the day, then you'll see the headlines.

Three things I've read: China cut interest rates, lowered the amount of reserves banks must hold, both designed to stimulate spending, and after their markets closed yesterday announced a $22 billion stimulus program. So, yeah.
