- U.S. WTI crude oil suffers its worst one-day loss since June 2017, settling -5% at $70.38/bbl, while Brent crude -6.9% to $73.40/bbl for its worst day in nearly two and a half years.
- WTI momentarily rose after the U.S. reported domestic crude inventories fell a whopping 12.6M barrels last week, but the price buckled under the combined weight of Libya lifting a force majeure on four oil ports and indicating production would return to normal levels, OPEC reporting an increase in its June output in June, a stronger dollar, and concerns surrounding the economic impact of worsening U.S.-China trade tensions.
- “We were ripe for a correction - here it is,” says John Saucer at Mobius Risk Group. “This is your classic long liquidation technical selloff.”
- The S&P 500 energy sector (-2.3%) is today's worst performer, and individual stocks post broad declines: XOM -1.5%, CVX -3.2%, BP -4%, RDS.B -2.8%, COP -2.5%, APC -3.4%, SLB -1.7%, HAL -2.8%, BHGE -4.1%, MRO -3.5%, HES -4.5%, DVN -3.6%, APA -2.2%, CHK -5.1%, EOG -2%, PXD -4%, WLL -4.1%, RIG -3.6%, ESV -3.1%, NE -4.1%, DO -4.8%, RDC -3.6%.
