Chris Temple kicks off today by focusing on the energy sector and more specifically oil. The oil sector has been boring all year after peaking in late April at $66/barrel and trading in a range the rest of the year. We look at the supply/demand metrics as well as discuss the balance of power that has shifted in the past few years. No longer just an OPEC news-driven market now that the US plays a bigger role. However, we need to be aware of potential bankruptcies of US companies that could shake the sector.
