Energy Sector Commentary
Energy stocks have opened mildly...
Energy stocks have opened mildly lower, tracking weaker broader index futures and lower oil and natural gas prices. In deal news, Occidental Petroleum said it would buy Permian basin-based energy producer CrownRock in a cash-and-stock deal valued at $12 billion.

Oil prices are lower by half a percent to start the week, as market skepticism surrounding OPEC’s intent to keep supply cuts firm into 2024 is weighing, as are recent inventory increases and record production from the U.S. "There is little doubt that the oil complex remains in a state of vulnerability," oil broker PVM's John Evans said in a note on Monday. RBC Capital Markets expects stock draws of 700,000 bpd in the first half, but only 140,000 bpd for the full year. "Prices will remain volatile and directionless until the market sees clear data points about the voluntary output cuts," RBC analysts said in a note.

Natural gas futures are plunging to a 6-month low, and are off by more than 9%, trading around $2.35, as mild weather, strong U.S. daily production, and delays in LNG export capacity upgrades are all impacting prices.
