• US drillers add oil rig for first time since June

  Sept 8 | U.S. energy firms this week increased the number of oil rigs operating for the first time since June while cutting the natural gas rig count, energy services firm Baker Hughes (BKR.O) said in its closely followed report on Friday.

  
  

  The total oil and gas rig count, an early indicator of future output, rose by one to 632.  Despite this week's rig increase, Baker Hughes said the total count was still down 127, or 17%, below this time last year.

  
  

  U.S. oil rigs rose one to 513 this week, while gas rigs fell by one to 113, their lowest since January 2022. Miscellaneous rigs gained 1.

  
  

  After oil and gas prices soared following Russia's invasion of Ukraine last year, the U.S. rig count climbed to 784 by November 2022, but has since slumped by about 19% as prices fell earlier in the year.

  U.S. stocks finished modestly higher on Friday, but Wall Street still suffered a losing week amid renewed concerns that the Federal Reserve may keep interest rates higher for longer. The S&P 500 SPX booked a 1.3% weekly loss, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA fell 0.8% and the Nasdaq Composite COMP dropped 1.9% for the week. All three major indexes logged their worst weekly decline since August 18, according to Dow Jones Market Data. Meanwhile, investors looked ahead to inflation data, with readings on the consumer-price index and producer-price index next week expected to offer further clues on the central bank’s rate decision at its next policy meeting.
