Shares of energy companies rose as an Israeli attack on Iran caused a spike in oil futures.
Israel Oil futures rose 7.3% to $72.98 a barrel, the largest one-day jump in almost three years.
Iran responded to the attack by launching dozens of missiles at Israel, prompting a warning from Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz. Before that barrage, Israel had blocked a drone attack from Iran.
Traders are awaiting signals from the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries as to whether it will react to the volatility.
