Major U.S. stock-indexes mixed. S&P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average reversed course after hitting record intraday highs late Thursday morning as losses in tech stocks offset the impact of a surge in oil prices. The technology sector, however, dropped, largely due to losses in Nvidia, setting the Nasdaq up for its worst day of this month. Oil rose more than 1% after data showed a surprise decline in U.S. inventories, suggesting a global oversupply may be ending.

Most of Dow stocks in positive area (19 of 30). Top loser - Caterpillar Inc. (CAT, -2.58%). Top gainer - Johnson & Johnson (JNJ, +1.33%).

Most of S&P sectors are also in positive area. Top loser - Conglomerates (-1.1%). Top gainer - Utilities (+1.0%).
