It’s been a while, but today we have some market issues related to the price of crude oil. A glut of oil in the US has resulted in a price decline that is dragging down broader indices. Concurrent with the report on the crude glut is other news that gasoline inventories have also increased.

One often thinks that lower energy prices will benefit the economy overall as well as stocks, but that is not always the case. They can act as a leading indicator for economic growth and also warn of difficulties in important oil producing regions across the US. Over the past few years we have seen market declines when crude oil declines, a correlation that could spell trouble moving forward.

Below, we present the latest data on Oil/Energy stocks from our Professional Stock Analysis Service. Top- five lists are provided for each category.  We applied some basic liquidity criteria–share price greater than $3 and average daily volume in excess of 100k shares.
