DAX, FTSE advance

ASX SPI Futures up 39 points

wise-owl.comPowered by

U.S. stocks rallied, with the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index closing at a

six-week high, amid broad gains as a surge in oil prices helped lessen

concern that a slowdown in global growth is deepening.

The S&P 500 rose 1.4 percent to 1,945.28 at 4 p.m. in New York, the

highest since Jan. 6 following its strongest weekly advance since

November. The benchmark is less than seven points below its average

price during the past 50 days, after falling below that level on Dec. 30.

Signs that crude prices are stabilizing, and speculation that China’s

slowdown isn’t as bad as feared have helped the gauge cut its 2016

decline in half in six trading sessions. Some of the year’s most beaten-

down shares -- including banks, semiconductor, auto and retailer

stocks -- have paced the rebound.

Commodity producers jumped to their highest levels since the start of

December, pushing European stocks to a three-week peak. The Stoxx

Europe 600 Index advanced 1.7 percent, with Glencore Plc, BHP

Billiton Ltd. and Rio Tinto Group up more than 8 percent.

The local share market started the week strong rising 1%, lifted by

miners, banks and robust earnings results from Brambles (BXB), Nib

Holdings (NHF) or Bluescope Steel (BSL). The ASX 200 has

rebounded more than 200 points from its 2016 low to close at 5,001

points.

All sectors finished in the black with the exception of Utilities. Industrial

and resource stocks rose the strongest, up 2.2% and 1.9%

respectively.

Iron ore miner Arrium (ARI) got a much needed capital injection from

GSO Capital Partners as part of a recapitalisation plan. Bluescope

Steel lifted its interim profit to $200 million while Brambles upgraded its

guidance after posting a 2% rise in statutory profit.

Last week the market recorded its strongest week for the year gaining

3.8% for the week, amid encouraging earnings reports coupled with the

lift in crude oil prices.
