S&P/TSX composite closes up nearly 100 points, U.S. stock markets mixed

TORONTO — Canada's main stock index closed up nearly 100 points Friday, helped by strength in energy and financial stocks, while U.S. markets were mixed.

The flare-up helped send oil up to around US$90 per barrel in early morning trading. It fell back down as concerns eased, with the benchmark U.S. May crude contract settling up 41 cents at US$83.14 per barrel. Energy stocks still got a small boost on the day. The drop from Netflix, along with other heavyweights like Nvidia Corp. down 10 per cent, led the Nasdaq composite to close down 319.49 points, or 2.05 per cent, at 15,282.01. The Dow Jones industrial average was up 211.02 points at 37,986.40 and the S&P 500 index was down 43.89 points at 4,967.23.
