Thursday was a very mixed day for the U.S. broad markets and depending on what you’re looking at, it could have been good or bad. Crude oil was up again today, closing in on the $50 price level, and oil & gas stocks responded in kind. The DJIA hit a new all-time high, but the S&P and Nasdaq crumbled a little on the day. For the most part, the financial, tech, and health care sectors were largely negative and the cause of the pullback seen in the indices. However there were a few bright spots, being retail and telecom.
Crude oil was last seen up 0.6% at $49.02.
Gold was up 0.9% at $1,260.20.
