The energy sector is off to a mixed-to-higher start, supported by strength in the underlying commodities. Pre-market gains have been limited for energy stocks amid weakness in major equity futures which are lower following the release of hotter-than-expected August CPI data.
WTI and Brent crude oil futures are extending multi-month highs on concerns over tight supply. Yesterday, the IEA said recent output cuts from Saudi Arabia and Russia will lock in a substantial market deficit through the fourth quarter. The tight market supply is being reflected in the spread between front-month Brent contracts and contracts for delivery six months further which is at $4.68, a width not breached since last November. Additionally, OPEC on Tuesday stuck to its forecasts for robust growth in global oil demand in 2023 and 2024. Traders will now be waiting for this morning’s EIA data as last night’s API release showed builds in crude, gasoline, and distillates.
Natural gas futures are higher on lower production and expectations for a colder winter, which should increase heating demand.
