Energy optimism burning less brightly
The recent OPEC deal to extend productions cuts has done little to bolster investor sentiment towards energy. In the case of crude oil, both near-term sentiment and readings based on investors’ medium-term strategic bias have further retreated from recent highs. In terms of oil sentiment, it appears to have been a case of buy the rumour sell the fact on OPEC. At the same time, optimism on the European energy sector relative to the market has sharply reversed from the five-year highs recorded a month ago. Investor optimism on energy related plays is weakening. See pages 2 and 3 for charts.
