March 23 (Bloomberg) -- U.S. stocks reversed an early drop as energy companies and oil rallied on a report that sanctions will reduce Iranian crude exports by 300,000 barrels a day.
The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index was little changed at 1,392.77 at 10:53 a.m. in New York after tumbling as much as 0.4 percent. Energy companies climbed 0.9 percent as a group and accounted for most of the market’s advance following the Reuters report.
Earlier losses were triggered when an unexpected drop in sales of new U.S. homes fueled concern the global economic rebound was slowing.
