• Energy Sector Commentary
  The energy sector is off to a...

  The energy sector is off to a higher start, rebounding from yesterday's steep slide on the backs of strength in the underlying commodities. Major equity futures meanwhile steadied this morning as rates ticked higher and investors await a pair of key inflation readings later this week to gain clarity into the path forward for rate cuts from the Fed. The benchmark 10-year Treasury note yield rose more than 4 basis points this morning and is now trading above 4%.

  
  

  WTI and Brent crude oil futures are up by over 2.5% in early trading, recovering from yesterday’s 4% drop on rising concerns that tensions in the Middle East will spread and ongoing supply outages in Libya. Weak economic data out of Germany, lingering demand worries, and speculation of rising OPEC supply after Saudi Arabia cut its OSP yesterday, are keeping a cap on gains. The Israeli military has said its fight against Hamas will continue through 2024, worrying markets that the conflict could grow into a regional crisis that could disrupt Middle Eastern oil supplies. German industrial production unexpectedly fell in November according to the Federal Statistics Office, marking a sixth consecutive monthly decline.

  
  

  Natural gas futures resumed their trend higher, backed by cooler weather forecast in key consuming regions that should stir demand ahead of another winter storm.

Crude imports from Venezuela could help fill a potential gap, but uncertainty surrounding US sanctions clouds that prospect.

• ✈️The fallout from Alaska Airlines Flight 1282 continued.

  Three days after a panel blew out midair on the Boeing 737 Max 9 aircraft, hundreds of flights were still grounded as the FAA directed US airlines with Max 9s—Alaska and United—to inspect their fleets. During those inspections, both airlines said they found loose bolts on plug doors. Meanwhile, federal officials revealed that the plane involved in the incident was restricted from flying long flights over water due to a known pressurization problem, though that may have been unrelated to the door plug incident. The cockpit voice recorder, which could have helped investigators determine how the panel came off, was overwritten because it was not retrieved within two hours. Here’s what else flyers should know about the Boeing 737 Max 9 as the story develops.
