A rise in oil prices and dovish Federal Reserve remarks helped stocks rise Thursday , one day after a steep drop. Following the climb, some "Fast Money" traders highlighted JPMorgan Chase (NYSE: JPM), which also gave markets a push higher with robust earnings.
The banking giant posted earnings of $1.32 per share on $23.7 billion in revenue, topping Wall Street's estimates for both. Its shares rose 1.5 percent on Thursday.
JPMorgan "should have been up a lot more" than that Thursday, contended trader Karen Finerman. She highlighted loan growth and net interest margin expansion.
Trader Tim Seymour added that the bank looks to have outpaced its peers in the consumer business.
U.S. oil settled more than 2 percent higher Thursday, helping energy stocks rise. The Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE Arca: XLE) climbed more than 4 percent, and could have more upside, Finerman said.
Seymour also looked to the iShares Russell 2000 ETF (NYSE Arca: IWM), which rose more than 1 percent Thursday.
