Marketwatch tells MHProNews that U.S. stocks recorded solid gains on Thursday, buoyed by a rebound in oil prices, deal news and upbeat quarterly earnings, pushing the S&P 500 and Dow industrials into positive territory for the year.
A more than 4% jump in oil prices sent energy and materials sharply higher, while news that Pfizer plans to buy Hospira, Inc., for about $16 billion lifted health-care sector stocks.
Better-than-expected earnings from companies, such as O’Reilly Automotive Inc. and Estée Lauder Cos. added to confidence.
The S&P 500closed 21 points, or 1%, higher at 2,062.50, with broad-based gains across all 10 main sectors. Some analysts pointed out that Friday’s move on the index will prove important, if it breaks through a key January resistance level of 2,064.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped 212 points, or 1.2%, to 17,885, with all of its 30 components ending higher. Drug giant Pfizer led gains.
The Nasdaq Composite ended the day up 48 points, or 1%, at 4,765. Biotechnology stocks rose sharply, with the iShares Nasdaq Biotechnology ETF gaining 2.4%.
