U.S. stocks ended sharply higher on Wednesday after a volatile session as the Federal Reserve gave a vote of confidence in the U.S. economy by signaling a December interest rate hike was still on the table.

Financial stocks were among the biggest gainers. Higher rates can bolster profits for banks because they tend to widen the difference between what banks charge on loans and what they pay for deposits.

The S&P’s financial-stocks index rose 2.4%. Energy shares were a close second, up 2.2% after a surge in crude-oil futures.

The Fed left rates unchanged, as predictable, and, in a direct reference to its next meeting, put a December rate hike firmly in play. It also downplayed global economic headwinds in its statement.
