House passes $79 billion tax-cut package; prospects in Senate uncertain

The House accomplished something unusual Wednesday in passing with broad, bipartisan support a roughly $79 billion tax-cut package that would enhance the child tax credit for millions of lower-income families and boost three tax breaks for business, a combination that gives lawmakers on both sides of the political aisle coveted policy wins.

Prospects for the measure becoming law are uncertain with the Senate still having to take it up, but for a House that has struggled to get bills of consequence over the finish line, the tax legislation could represent a rare breakthrough. The bill passed by a vote of 357-70.

Energy Sector Commentary
The energy sector is off to a...
The energy sector is off to a lower start, pressured by weakness in the crude complex and the major equity futures which dropped amid lackluster AI forecasts from mega-cap tech companies. In company news, Phillips 66 released fourth-quarter results of $1.3 billion or $2.86 per share; adjusted earnings of $1.4 billion or $3.09 per share; $2.2 billion of operating cash flow, and $1.6 billion returned to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases. Hess reported net income of $413 million, or $1.34 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2023. A couple of rating changes were made by Seaport Research Partners in U.S E&Ps, and by TPH Energy Research in MLPs & pipelines.

WTI and Brent crude oil futures slid 1% this morning, giving back most of yesterday’s gains on demand concerns as investors digested China’s manufacturing activity which contracted for the fourth consecutive month in January. Oil forecasts such as OPEC’s, expect China to aid in oil demand growth in 2024, however, traders are jittery amid the latest signs of a struggling economy.

Natural gas futures are higher on storage estimates which point to a higher-than-average draw, despite forecasts for warmer temperatures. Consensus is looking for a draw of (202) Bcf vs the 5-yr average of (185) Bcf. This comes following last week’s reported storage draw of (326) Bcf, the third-largest pull-on record.
