Oil Is Up, But Oil Stocks End Down for the Day
Posted on Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008 | In Current Market News, Energy Markets, Gold MarketsEven oil stocks couldn’t dodge the
carnage in the broad market today. Oil stocks sold off a bit this
morning as oil prices moved lower. But then when oil prices moved
higher — buoyed by bullish inventory data – oil stocks didn’t rise with crude. Instead, they were sucked lower as the major indices went into the tank.
Take a look at the IEO, a leading index of oil explorers and producers …
I know this can be disheartening, but try to
separate short-term noise from the fundamentals. Investors are spooked
by the bear market going on in banks and other non-energy sectors. So,
they booked gains where they could find them and went to sit on the
sidelines. While I don’t blame them, the longer-term trend for energy
stocks should follow energy … and that’s higher.
