Reviewed by: Rohit Tuli, CFA®  

The Wall Street finally witnessed a rebound on Wednesday, January 7, as slight recovery in the oil prices coupled with latest data on the U.S. economy boosted sentiments in equities. The latest FOMC meeting minutes, which signaled that the U.S. central bank may refrain from raising interest rates until at least end of April, also helped U.S. stocks rally the most in three weeks on Wednesday.

Similarly, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 1.23% to finish at 17,584.52, and the NASDAQ Composite ended higher by 1.26% at 4,650.47. A recent report on the health of the U.S. economy said that companies in the U.S. added 241,000 workers in December, the highest since June. European markets also had a sigh of relief on Wednesday after a drop in euro area consumer prices in December lifted hopes that ECB will launch further stimulus soon. Most Asian markets also ended higher on Wednesday tracking strong global cues.
