Bank of America said it raised $13.47 billion by selling equity and Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner told lawmakers the financial system is beginning to heal. US stocks reversed earlier gains after the Federal Reserve predicted a deeper recession this year and slower recovery in 2010. The S&P 500 declined 4.66 points to 903.47. The dollar index fell to 81.15, the lowest level in five months. There is important support in the 80 area. If this is broken, a drop to 76 is likely.
