Best Energy Stocks For 2019


U.S. equities mostly finished lower on Wednesday as a breakdown in crude oil weighed on equities — resulting in the longest selloff since the election.

In the end, the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 0.3%, the S&P 500 lost 0.2%, the Nasdaq Composite gained a fraction and the Russell 2000 lost 0.6%. Treasury bonds were weaker again, the dollar was stronger, gold lost 0.6% and oil was hit hard on a large U.S. inventory build pushing West Texas Intermediate down 5.4% to fresh lows for the year.

The crude carnage boosted the ProShares Ultra Short Crude (NYSEARCA:SCO) 10.4% for Edge subscribers as the United States Oil Fund LP (ETF) (NYSEARCA:USO) fell below its 200-day moving average for the first time since late November to end a four-month trading range. This also represents another failed breakout attempt for energy prices near the $55-a-barrel level.
