Wall Street logged impressive gains Thursday, as investors unpacked jobs data and looked toward the Federal Reserve's next interest rate decision. The Dow and Nasdaq both added triple digits -- a third-straight win for the former -- while the S&P 500 also closed comfortably in the black. Meanwhile, the Cboe Volatility Index (VIX) extended its drop, while the Russell 200 Index (RUT) took a breather.

OIL PULLS BACK ON POTENTIAL IRAN SANCTION RELIEF 

The media report alleging a U.S.-Iran nuclear deal put pressure on oil futures today. For the session, July-dated crude lost $1.24, or 1.7%, to close at $71.29 per barrel.

Gold prices recovered most of yesterday's losses, as the U.S. dollar weakened against unemployment data. August-dated gold added $20.20, or 1%, to close at $1,978.60 an ounce for the day.
