Energy companies are experiencing a rise as the S&P 500 energy index increases by 0.6%, driven by higher crude prices. Brent crude futures are up 0.4% at $62.21 per barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude rises 0.6% to $58.44 per barrel. This increase follows fading hopes for a Russia-Ukraine peace deal and escalating tensions in Yemen. Major firms like Exxon and Chevron see gains of 0.6%, with other companies like Devon Energy and Halliburton also rising significantly.
