3:00PM: Indices are holding near their best levels of the day, but buying efforts have slowed somewhat with the bleeding in crude futures having been stopped for the time being.... To that end, crude futures were as high as $70.80 today, but ultimately pulled back to $66.30 before buyers re-emerged to push them to their current level of $67.25 (+$1.12)... Right now, gains in the U.S. indices are on par with what many European bourses posted today; however, they are much higher than the losses incurred by Asian indices...

Indonesia's Jakarta Composite dropped 5.16%, South Korea's Kospi Index fell 2.09%, and Japan's Nikkei slipped 1.0% as the surge in energy futures overnight weighed heavily on those markets... NYSE Adv/Dec 1845/1357, Nasdaq Adv/Dec 1568/1393

And with that... I must go. Have a good evening Marketeers!
