The commodity closed $1.31 higher on the New York Mercantile Exchange, finishing the session at $132.12 per barrel.

Investor pessimism persisted in the face of positive earnings announcements from retailers Gap (GPS 17.94, -0.35) and Aeropostale (ARO 32.67, -0.05). The pair announced after yesterday's close earnings results that surpassed the consensus earnings per share estimate. Meanwhile, department store Dillards (DDS 15.73, -0.63) reported this morning its first quarter net income slumped during the most recent quarter. Brewers (+6.4%) performed exceptionally well in the face of the session’s broad-based selling.

Tech heavyweight Apple (AAPL 181.17, +4.12) helped the Nasdaq 100 (-0.3%) outperform the major indices on a relative basis. Apple had its price target elevated and was added to a buy list at a pair of Wall Street’s leading investment banks.
