Energy prices had slipped in recent weeks as the spread of the delta variant began to slow the global economic recovery. However, investors and traders appear to be growing more confident that this won't be a long-term problem.    "The oil price snapback will only continue if the headlines … support the narrative that several countries are starting to have a much better handle with the delta variant.  The oil market is still very tight and with Chinese demand picking up, crude prices only have one way to go after an overdone sell-off," Edward Moya, senior market analyst at Oanda, said in a note.  The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed up 30.55 points to end the day at 35,366.26. The S&P 500 added 0.1%, closing at 4,486.23. The Nasdaq Composite closed at 15,019.80, reflecting a gain of 0.5%.    Jesse Pound | CNBC Markets Reporter @jesserpound TOP NEWS  S&P 500 and Nasdaq close at records ahead of Fed summit House Democrats clear path toward passing $3.5 trillion budget bill and infrastructure plan after breaking stalemate The economy could be getting help from positive news on the delta variant Taliban will no longer allow Afghans to go to Kabul airport for evacuation, spokesman says Goldman Sachs to require employees, clients entering its offices to be fully vaccinated against Covid-19 Biden addresses Afghanistan evacuation amid pressure to extend Aug. 31 withdrawal deadline Bitcoin 'whales' jump back into market during cryptocurrency's rebound to $50,000 Tesla, Moderna are among hedge funds' favorite stocks to short as the investment strategy rebounds GameStop surges 27% to lead meme stock rally in otherwise boring market Coinbase slammed for what users say is terrible customer service after hackers drain their accounts   TOP VIDEO Oakmark's International Fund sees strong returns   CNBC PRO Check out Morgan Stanley's list of stocks that have crushed the market   SPECIAL REPORTS Enhanced tax credits become 'bargaining points' in divorce cases More than 90% of millionaires used these five tools to build wealth   Unsubscribe Manage Newsletters Terms of Service Join the CNBC Panel Digital Products Feedback Privacy Policy   © 2021 CNBC LLC.
