       The Dow Jones Industrials jumped by triple digits, closing 200 points higher at 99-63.

       The Nasdaq gained 38 points, ending the session at 20-98.

       The S&P 500 Index tacked on 23 points, finishing at 10-66.

       The price of a barrel of crude oil rocketed two-dollars-41-cents to close at 79-dollars-87-cents on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
