US stocks ended Thursday's session slightly lower on dismal manufacturing data from China and Europe. Smaller-than-expected drop in US jobless claims last week also created pressure on the US stock index. However, a jump in Philly Fed manufacturing index limited losses of the US equities. The S&P 500 Index eased down by 0.05% to close at 1,460.26. Six out of ten sectors within the index climbed. The top-performers were oil and gas firms and health care companies. Oil and gas sector was boosted by recovery in crude oil prices. Shares of Denbury Resources, Diamond Offshore Drilling and Devon Energy Corp rose 3.71%, 0.64% and 0.02%, respectively. Becton International and Boston Scientific Corp. inched up 0.04% and 0.52%. On the upside was also Conagra Foods, adding 6.20% on higher profits amid lower food costs and strong gains from hedge on commodity prices. On the downside were industrials on weak manufacturing PMI releases across the globe. Ford Motor and General Dynamics Corp. slumped 1.42% and 0.35%.
