• Energy Sector Commentary
  The energy sector is poised for...

  The energy sector is poised for a lower start, ending a three-day winning streak amid further weakness in the crude complex and after major equity futures turned lower. Investor sentiment took a hit this morning after Moody’s downgraded their credit rating on several banks and warned of possible cuts to others, driving the entire sector lower and reigniting fears of the health of the U.S. banking systems.
