Oil dropped almost 5% on “on signs that OPEC and other producing countries would not take more drastic steps to reduce the world's stubbornly persistent glut of crude.”

 

The U.S. dollar index fell with treasuries as the euro rose on expectations for the ECB to signal hawkish policy going forward.

 

The Dow, Nasdaq, and S&P traded mixed as concerns about oil’s drop were offset by decent earnings reports and news that the House “approved a bill on Thursday to repeal major parts of Obamacare and replace it with a Republican healthcare plan.”

 

Among the big names making news in the market today were HSBC, Shell, Statoil, Viacom, and General Mills.
