Oil futures rebounded early Wednesday, hitting levels near the 3 1/2-year high after bullish data on U.S. oil inventories, and in the wake of the U.S. pulling out of the Iran nuclear deal.
Crude prices have swung wildly in recent days, as investors anticipated Trump's decision on whether to withdraw from the Iran deal. Oil futures started sliding in the U.S. late Monday, and fell as much as 4% in morning trade Tuesday before Trump announced his decision to abandon it. Crude clawed back some of its decline after Trump's speech to settle about 2% lower.

The nonprofit-focused software developer anticipates continued revenue growth in 2019 as more customers shift toward its cloud-based solutions.

Icon PLC (NASDAQ:ICLR)Q4 2018 Earnings Conference CallFeb. 21, 2019, 7:30 p.m. ET Operator Four of the five biggest marijuana stocks, including Canopy, Aurora Cannabis (NASDAQOTH:ACBFF), and Aphria (NASDAQOTH:APHQF), have all more than doubled, while shares of Tilray (NASDAQ:TLRY) have absolutely skyrocketed. Tilray's gains have come in part because of its unusually low float and heavy short interest -- and because the pot stock was the first to list directly on an American exchange when it had its IPO in July. There will be a lot of demand for dried marijuana flower when Canada opens its recreational marijuana market next week, but the biggest market opportunity for marijuana growers, including Aphria Inc. (NASDAQOTH:APHQF), isn't for marijuana the commodity but for marijuana the ingredient. Canada's regulators are expected to give an OK next year for the sale of cannabis-infused beverages, edibles, and other consumer goods products, and if that happens, the lowest-cost marijuana producer could be positioned to profit most.
