Energy stocks lead Wall St higher as oil rises

Wall Street rose on Friday, propelled by energy stocks as oil held on to gains. Crude prices rose more than 2 percent, after the International Energy Agency said oil prices might have bottomed as output in the United States and other non-OPEC countries was beginning to fall quickly. "It looks like we're going to close the week on a high note as people are rethinking Draghi's powerful stimulus program," said Peter Cardillo, chief market economist at First Standard Financial in New York.
