Is Oil’s Impact to Stocks Reaching Crescendo?

oil prices
Published January 13

Stocks and oil are tightly correlated these days, as we saw in Tuesday’s trade. The relationship could tighten even further Wednesday morning. However, I wonder if the relationship breaks a bit after the report from the EIA today. Recent trading seems to me to illustrate penalized equity and energy valuations have found a level where investors are questioning if they’ve fallen too far. As Iranian “implementation” of its supply release occurs in the very near-term, we may have a “sell the news” (in this case buy) type of event, given the severe price-down of oil that has led up to the event. In other words, it’s priced in. I expect that a positive surprise from the EIA today would serve a rally for stocks, and that bad news from the EIA could only have a short-lived impact before stocks rebound.
