Equities finished in positive territory, mainly due to better than expected US Chicago Purchasing Manager report, as well as solid earnings from Exxon Mobil (+2.14%). The move higher was led by oil & gas and the basic materials sectors, which benefited from yet another rally in the energy complex with front month WTI crude futures topping USD 92.00 level.

The latter half of the session saw little in terms of fresh news flow and resulted in subdued price action. Finally, at the closing bell DJIA closed up 0.58% at 11891.86, S&P 500 closed up 0.77% at 1286.11 and NASDAQ 100 closed up 0.50% at 2281.91.
