Major U.S. stock-indexes slightly higer on Thursday, after three straight days of losses, as investors scoured for bargains ahead of a widely expected U.S. interest rate hike next week. Markets have had a bruising week so far as equities tracked oil prices. Brent futures are down more than 11% this month and, having dipped below $40 per barrel, there are renewed expectations it might test 2008 low.
As concerns regarding the global economy persist, all eyes will be on the Federal Reserve's meeting on Dec. 15-16, when it is expected to raise rates for the first time in nearly a decade.
