NEW YORK, May 5 (Reuters) - Crude oil bounced back from its lowest level since November on the likelihood that key producers could extend output cuts beyond an agreed-on June deadline, while a global stocks index set a fresh record high as corporate earnings remained strong.
Markets were rattled overnight as crude stumbled further, its weekly decline close to 10 percent at one point, but comments from Saudi Arabia's OPEC governor helped put a floor under oil prices.
"There's an emerging consensus among participating countries on the need to extend the production agreement reached last year," Adeeb Al-Aama told Reuters. Russia and other producers have agreed to curb production by 1.8 million barrels per day until June 30. OPEC ministers next meet on May 25.
Better-than-expected U.S. non-farm payrolls data showed jobs growth rebounded sharply last month with 211,000 added and the national unemployment rate down to near a 10-year low of 4.4 percent. Wall Street, the energy sector of the S&P 500 .SPNY was posting its strongest daily showing since late March while the benchmark S&P, despite the strong payrolls report, remained in the tight range it has kept over the past two weeks.
"OPEC is going to continue the cuts. The question is, is that enough to keep oil prices at a level that is good for business and for producers?" said Quincy Krosby, market strategist at Prudential Financial (NYSE:PRU) in Newark, New Jersey.
"Today it has helped to the overall turn on the markets."
The Dow Jones Industrial Average .DJI fell 9.72 points, or 0.05 percent, to 20,941.75, the S&P 500 .SPX gained 3.08 points, or 0.13 percent, to 2,392.6 and the Nasdaq Composite .IXIC added 5.07 points, or 0.08 percent, to 6,080.41.
The pan-European FTSEurofirst 300 index .FTEU3 rose 0.61 percent and MSCI's gauge of stocks across the globe .MIWD00000PUS gained 0.31 percent.
Emerging market stocks lost 0.27 percent. Overnight, MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan .MIAPJ0000PUS closed 0.66 percent lower.
CRUDE REBOUND
