Oil prices surged significantly, with US crude rising 6.87% to $89.61 per barrel and Brent gaining 5.64% to $95.48, boosting the energy sector in the S&P 500. While banking stocks indicated stable consumer credit and spending, the communications sector faced pressure from declines in Meta and Netflix shares, as investors assess the impact of conflicts on the real economy during first-quarter earnings season.",

So far, the\nbanking sector shows that consumer credit conditions and spending remain\nrelatively stable.<\/p>\n<p>The communications sector was the most pressured, triggered by a\n2.56% drop in Meta shares, which ended a nine-day consecutive rally.\nNetflix shares also fell 2.55% and have weakened around 12% since\nreleasing its financial report and the resignation of co-founder Reed\nHastings last week.<\/p>\n<p>The CBOE volatility index (VIX), known as the market fear gauge, rose\n1.37 points to 18.85 after previously declining for eight consecutive\nsessions.<\/p>",
