Shortly before the closing bell the DJIA traded up 0.53% for the day, the S&P 500 traded up 0.57%, and the Nasdaq Composite up 0.51%.

The DJIA stock posting the largest daily gain ahead of the close Wednesday was Chevron Corp. (NYSE: CVX) which traded up 1.96% at $113.93. The stock’s 52-week range is $106.65 to $135.10. Volume was about equal to the daily average of around 7.3 million shares. The company had no specific news today, but the energy sector was today’s outstanding performer.
