On the last day of trading for the week oil had its best day since 2009, ending a 5 day losing streak on Wall Street. The price of a barrel of oil soared over %12 percent as stocks experienced gains across the board. The financial and banking sector gained %3 percent leading the winners. JPMorgan’s stock gained 8% after the company’s CEO Jamie Dimon bought over $25 million worth of the company’s own stock.
