Arthur Hogan Energy Quotations

I think one of the conundrums the market faces is that we continue to see energy prices go higher. It's going to be hard to get the market to rally much this week with oil starting at $68.

That's the one thing that can upset this apple cart. We would focus more on energy prices if we got something that was out of line with consensus.

We've had colder weather across the country, so we're back on the energy watch, and that's certainly going to have an effect on stocks.

The three things we'll digest this week are earnings and guidance for the fourth quarter, and the long-term forecast for energy prices.

The market continues to raise the level of tolerance it has for high energy prices.

The market has been responding well in terms of energy prices coming down, but those are very volatile numbers week over week. Any major swing from the consensus figure can add a lot of volatility.

The market is reacting more to good news than to bad news at this point. Energy prices are certainly stabilizing off their peak, but it's pretty remarkable considering the headwinds we should be facing.
