  The energy sector is taking a step back this morning following two straight days of strong gains, tracking a small pullback in crude prices as major equity futures ebbed. Investors are skittish this morning as they are navigating a flood of corporate earnings reports and ahead of key economic data later this week. Sector news this morning was highlighted by results from BP and a host of mid-cap E&Ps and services.
