U.S. crude rose 8.3 percent to settle at $48.24 a <br/> barrel, while Brent crude jumped 7.9 percent to settle at <br/> $52.99. The S&P 500 energy was up 0.8 percent. <br/> <br/> European stocks ended lower, but registered their biggest <br/> monthly gain in three years, while major U.S. stock indexes were <br/> on track for a second straight monthly decline. <br/> The dollar index, bolstered by expectations the U.S. <br/> Federal Reserve will be the first major central bank to raise <br/> interest rates, also was poised to end January with its longest <br/> run of gains since the greenback was floated in 1971. It was up <br/> 0.02 percent on Friday. <br/> Weighing on stocks, U.S. gross domestic product expanded at <br/> a 2.6 percent annual pace after the third quarter's spectacular <br/> 5 percent rate, the Commerce Department said in its first <br/> snapshot of fourth-quarter GDP. <br/> The headline number was «well below consensus expectations <br/> and that is definitely one of the data points that many bulls <br/> were looking for to justify staying bullish,» said Peter Kenny, <br/> chief market strategist at Clearpool Group in New York. <br/> The Dow Jones industrial average fell 111.68 points, <br/> or 0.64 percent, to 17,305.17, the S&P 500 lost 11.44 <br/> points, or 0.57 percent, to 2,009.81 and the Nasdaq Composite <br/> dropped 14.64 points, or 0.31 percent, to 4,668.77. <br/> Adding to concerns for stock investors, Greece's finance <br/> minister said the government would not cooperate with the <br/> European Union and International Monetary Fund mission <br/> bankrolling the country and would not seek an extension to the <br/> bailout program. <br/> The FTSEurofirst 300 index of top European shares <br/> ended down 0.6 percent, but rose 7.2 percent in January, its <br/> biggest monthly gain in three years. <br/> The MSCI all-country world index declined <br/> 0.6 percent. <br/> European shares have been lifted recently by expectations <br/> that a bond-buying program by the European Central Bank will <br/> help the region's economic recovery. U.S. stocks have been hit <br/> by falling oil prices and concern about weak overseas demand. <br/> U.S. Treasury debt prices jumped, with long-term yields <br/> hitting record lows after the slower-than-anticipated economic <br/> growth, which encouraged speculation the Fed will delay interest <br/> rate hikes. <br/> Friday's gains added to a strong Treasuries rally that has <br/> the 30-year Treasury on track for total returns in <br/> January of more than 10 percent. <br/> Russia surprised markets by cutting interest rates as fears <br/> of a Russian recession mount following a plunge in global oil <br/> prices and Western sanctions over the Ukraine crisis. <br/> The move pressured the rouble, which skidded as much <br/> as 4 percent against the dollar, and bolstered expectations that <br/> Turkey will cut rates again next week, sending the lira <br/> to a new record low. <br/> "
