  The energy sector is off to a higher start, supported by strength in the underlying commodities and the major equity futures which are expected to begin today’s session in positive territory following softer ADP payroll data.

  
  

  WTI and Brent crude oil futures are extending gains for the fifth-consecutive session on a larger-than-expected draw in crude stocks reflected in the API’s report, and as investors remain cautious of the potential disruptions as Hurricane Idalia makes landfall in Florida. According to the API, U.S. crude stocks fell by a bigger than-expected 11.5 million barrels in the week ended Aug. 25. Additionally, Reuters observes that money managers' net bullish position in crude continued to fall in the week ending 22-Aug (though WTI has moved back above $80/barrel since that point).
