Stocks Get Re-Energized
Dow -29.86 at 13283.11, Nasdaq -5.46 at 2565.49, S&P -3.74 at 1505.74
[BRIEFING.COM] Stocks are breaking out of their intraday trading ranges, but getting a boost from off all things, a rebound in oil prices. After being down 1.1% earlier as the day's worst performing sector, Energy recently turning positive has returned some much needed leadership if the bulls are to get the indices back on track. Crude for June delivery is now up 1.3% near $62.30 /bbl after the EIA said it expects gasoline prices to average $2.95 a gallon this summer.
In addition to Energy's turnaround, transportation stocks actually gaining ground in the face of oil's uptick has actually made the Railroads (+2.3%) even more attractive since high energy prices have made shipping by rail a more affordable alternative. The group has been in focus all morning after CSX Corp (CSX 46.95 +1.05) lifted its dividend 25% and raised its buyback program by $1.0 bln. "
