The global stock market closed the day with a positive trend, with the exception of the French market, amid a rise in the price of benchmark WTI crude oil to 68,3 dpb and a decrease in global volatility levels by 12.16% following the easing of the growing power struggle between anti-European populists and pro-EU legislators in the Italian government. North American indices closed the session higher as financial sector stocks recovered following easing fears about exposure to Italian credit. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained in response to high buying volume in energy sector stocks, which registered a 3.43% rise, led by Chevron (+3.11%). The same was true for the S&P 500 index, which added 1.2%, and a rise in oil prices reversed the downward trend in the energy sector.
