Refiners including Exxon Mobil were trading higher.

SXC Health Solutions hit a 52-week high after an analyst at Bank of America Merrill Lynch raised its earnings estimates for full-year 2012 and maintained a “buy” on the stock ahead of closing its merger with Catalyst. But BofA lowered its 2013 estimates for the company.

Shares of Pandora were under pressure after rival Spotify announced will launch a competing web radio service.

And Arena Pharmaceuticals hit another 52-week high after investors felt confident that a decision on its potential blockbuster drug for obesity, Lorcaserin will not be delayed and could portend good news.
