Oil rose $2.40 to $77.55 a barrel, boosting the likes of Chevron and Exxon. Google and IBM both saw losses as traders bet against the firms ahead of their third-quarter earnings...http://www.newser.com/story/71812/dow-rises-41-points.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagThu, 15 Oct 2009 15:16:03 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/69200/dow-down-22-stocks-gain-for-week.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagStocks pulled back today after hitting their 2009 peaks in yesterday's session, the Wall Street Journal reports. Despite modest declines, transportation stocks—considered the first to benefit in a recovery—remained strong, with FedEx up 6.43%. Crude tumbled $2.65 to $69.20 a barrel.

Thanks to the recession, lower oil prices, and government delays, two-thirds of American biodiesel refineries—dozens of plants—are idle, and companies across the country are shutting...http://www.newser.com/story/67925/biofuel-boom-runs-out-of-gas.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagThu, 27 Aug 2009 12:49:02 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/67763/dow-up-30-after-rosy-data.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagStocks closed with modest advances on strong economic data and a drop in oil prices, the Wall Street Journal reports. Advances in second-quarter home prices and a boost in July consumer confidence propelled stock indices to new 2009 highs shortly after the open, but oil’s $2.32 drop moderated gains....http://www.newser.com/story/67763/dow-up-30-after-rosy-data.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagTue, 25 Aug 2009 15:21:38 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/67309/dow-up-61-after-shaky-day.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagMarkets ended higher today after a dismal start, buoyed by an ascendant energy sector, the Wall Street Journal reports. The seesaw comes as no surprise to one strategist: “This market is highly vulnerable to get pushed around right now. That’s a factor of light volume.” The Dow, once down 50,...http://www.newser.com/story/67309/dow-up-61-after-shaky-day.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagWed, 19 Aug 2009 15:10:28 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/66092/dow-cools-still-rises-34.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagYesterday’s rally segued into a regular day today as markets remained mostly flat on mixed economic data, the Wall Street Journal reports. Home sales were up, but incomes down, and an expected report on rising US oil reserves hurt energy stocks. “It's a day of consolidation after we've had a...http://www.newser.com/story/66092/dow-cools-still-rises-34.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagTue, 04 Aug 2009 15:17:33 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/66003/dow-up-115-on-manufacturing.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagStocks rallied today on signs of a turnaround for US manufacturing, the Wall Street Journal reports. Oil rose $2.13, to $71.27 per barrel, its highest price in a month, and banks HSBC and Barclays reported strong quarterly earnings.

A poorly received auction of T-notes also did little to inspire confidence.
