Dick’s Sporting Goods Inc (NYSE:) and Abercrombie & Fitch (NYSE:) rose 7% and 18% respectively, following quarterly results that topped Wall Street estimates.
Energy stocks pared their losses from a day earlier as continued to add gains after Saudi Arabia said OPEC and its allies, known as OPEC+, would persist with plans to cut production.

“If oil demand in China indeed turns out to be weaker than expected, this would point to an oversupplied market, at least in the short term,” Commerzbank said in a note.
Tech stocks were on the ascendency, underpinned by a retreat in Treasury yields ahead of the release of the minutes from the Federal Reserve’s October meeting.
The Fed hinted at slowing the pace of rate hikes at its December meeting, though added that the peak for rate hikes would be higher than previously anticipated.

But longer-term, "we believe revenue growth can be potentially sustained,” it added.
