  The energy sector is off to a mixed to higher start, backed by low conviction strength in the crude complex while major equity futures steadied as traders digest a fresh slate of earnings reports and continue to closely monitor the latest moves in Treasury yields.
  

  Following two consecutive days of sizeable declines, WTI and Brent crude oil futures are mostly flat, down less than 50 cents, as investors weigh diplomatic efforts in the Middle East that have eased some supply disruptions concerns against weak economic data out of the eurozone and the IEA’s latest outlook report. The IEA released its World Energy Outlook report where it cut its 2050 oil demand projection by 2.4M bpd and called the energy world fragile and undergoing major changes over the coming years. Attention will now start to shift to the U.S. inventory data cycle, beginning post-close with the release of API's report followed by the EIA data tomorrow.

  
  

  Natural gas futures continued to gain momentum for the second day and are up ~1.5% in early trading, backed by cooler weather forecasts in key consuming regions that should boost heating demand through next week.
