Stocks inch higher, led by energy companies as oil moves back above $106 per barrel

NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks edged higher in early trading Thursday, led by energy companies as the price of oil jumped back up above $106 per barrel.

Traders shrugged off slightly disappointing reports on new unemployment claims and factory orders.

Fertilizer company CF Industries Holdings Inc. was the biggest gainer of any stock in the S&P 500, rising 3 percent after the Agriculture Department reported that farmers were planning to plant 92.2 million acres of corn this spring, 5 percent more than they did last year.

Oil prices surged above $106 a barrel after forces loyal to Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi retook control of the key oil port of Ras Lanouf from rebel forces. The power shift threatens the quick restart of oil exports promised by a rebel victory. Rising oil prices could cut into U.S. growth and limit spending by consumers forced to pay more for gasoline.
