Lauren simonetti watching the markets. Edward lawrence also in d. C. , and Jackie Deangelis in new york, but on the markets, lauren, we start with you. Lauren what a day, right . Oil saw the biggest gain one day ever, up 25 . Closing just over 25 a barrel. Energy stocks rising in a big way. What happened . The president said russia and saudi arabia appeared close to a supply cut, taking oil off the market.
