What happened
U.S. stocks rose, with the S&P 500 adding 0.5% and the Nasdaq composite adding 0.6%. This movement followed a 2.3% drop in Brent crude oil to $97.97 per barrel. Constellation Energy Group jumped 11.5% after announcing a long-term deal to supply Google with electricity.
Why it matters
The drop in Brent crude oil eased pressure from high inflation. The long-term electricity deal with Google is supported by the boom in data centers for artificial-intelligence technology, which increases demand for electricity, construction crews, and materials.
