Each noted a 0.5% rise in the S&P 500 and a 363‑point gain for the Dow, and all linked the rebound to the drop in oil prices. ### Centre - The five centre‑rated digests (WPLG, KOB 4, Pittsburgh Post‑Gazette, Ottumwa Courier, WSLS) provided a broader picture. WPLG and KOB 4 added that the Nasdaq rose about 0.7% and mentioned AI‑related stocks gaining. KOB 4 reported a larger Dow gain of 391 points. Pittsburgh Post‑Gazette pointed to tech and AI sectors as drivers of the earlier sell‑off. Ottumwa Courier gave the higher 0.8% S&P increase.
