The energy sector is off to a lower start, pressured by weakness in the crude complex but supported by strength in the major equity futures which surged on signs of a de-escalation in tensions between Russia and Ukraine, and ahead of key inflation data investors will look to for clues on the path of interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve.
WTI and Brent crude oil futures dropped over 2.5% in early trading, ending their four-day winning streak after Russia said some of its military units were returning to their bases after exercises near Ukraine, a move that appeared to de-escalate tension between Moscow and the West. It was not however clear how many units were being withdrawn and by what distance, after a build-up of an estimated 130,000 Russian troops. Investors are also continuing to monitor the talks between the United States and Iran on reviving Tehran's nuclear deal with world powers, which could potentially allow for higher Iranian oil exports. Investors will be looking to the latest weekly inventory reports as the next major catalyst. The reports are expected to show another drop in U.S. crude stocks which would underline tight supply and demand balance.
