• Energy Sector Commentary for Friday
  The energy sector is off to a...

  The energy sector is off to a broadly higher start, supported by strength in the crude complex and in the major equity futures. U.S. stock index futures crept higher, setting the Dow on track for its tenth straight day of gains, while mega-cap growth and technology stocks recovered after sharp losses in the previous session. As earnings season continues to heat up, SLB beat analysts' estimates for quarterly profit as a rebound in offshore and international drilling activity boosted demand for its oilfield services and equipment, even as activity in North America declined.

  
  

  WTI and Brent crude oil futures are trading higher for the second-consecutive session buoyed by evidence of tightening supplies and economic stimulus in slow-recovering China.

  
  

  Natural gas futures are down in early trading, retreating from a 6% jump during the previous session as the NOAA's 6-10 day outlook shows a warming trend across the Midwest, Northeast, and Mid-Atlantic next week, with above-normal temps expected across most of the US, especially over the central Great Plains and Middle MS Valley.
