Happy 'Black Friday' Traders,
US Market Report:
Stocks followed commodities, rebounding from their lows to end higher Thursday afternoon.
Stocks had started the day in sell mode, weighed down by lower commodity prices and a dour outlook from Cisco Systems. But the momentum shifted midday as commodities erased earlier losses and the dollar pulled back against the euro.
Oil prices rose almost 1% to settle at $98.97 a barrel. Earlier, crude had sold off more than 3%. Gold prices also turned higher, rising 0.4% to $1.507.40 an ounce. Silver remained in the red, but was only off 2% to $34.80 an ounce. [Source: cnnmoney.com]

Oil traded in a wide range to end near $99 with gold holding over $1,500. [Source: bloomberg.com]
