• S&P 500 exits bear market as stocks close higher

  U.S. stocks rose Thursday, with the S&P 500 closing above the threshold that marks an exit from a bear market. Stocks were buoyed following a rise in weekly jobless claims that reinforced expectations the Fed will hold rates steady next week, analysts said. The S&P 500 SPX, +0.62% rose around 26 points, or 0.6%, to close just shy of 4,294, according to preliminary figures. A close above 4,292.44 meets the criteria for exiting a bear market, marking a 20% rise from the benchmark’s October closing low. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.50% rose around 169 points, or 0.5%, while the Nasdaq Composite COMP, +1.02% jumped 1%.

• Energy Sector Commentary for Thursday
  Energy stocks are set to open in the green amid higher broader...

  Energy stocks are set to open in the green amid higher broader index futures and gains in both crude oil and natural gas this morning.  News flow in the sector remains light, with sector equities tracking broader markets and commodity prices.

  
  

  Oil rose on Thursday as tighter supply resulting from Saudi Arabia's pledged production cut and a potential pause to U.S. interest rate hikes offset worries over demand weakness and a global economic slowdown. At an OPEC+ meeting on Sunday, Saudi Arabia said it will cut its crude output by 1 million bpd in July on top of a broader deal to limit supply into 2024 as the producer group seeks to boost flagging prices.

  
  

  Natural gas futures are higher by a penny ahead of weekly inventory data expected to show a build of 116 bcf for last week.
