Apparently, the price for crude oil hovered at $77 per barrel, whereby market analysts have reported that crude supplies rose unexpectedly for the previous week. Generally, this can also be translated into poor or weak demands from consumers. Crude inventory rose by 1.7 million barrels just last week, which indicates that the market is unexpectedly consuming lesser oil.
However, the price performance factor for the crude oil did not deter market investors from shying away in investing into the stock market, whereby large corporations like Intel, and Alcoa Inc have reported favorable earnings for the last fiscal year. On the other hand, market analysts are also predicting similar financial performances for companies like Google Inc, Bank of America Corp, and JPMorgan Chase and Co, whereby these corporations will be announcing their financial data pretty soon.
Also, the oil leak at the Gulf of Mexico did not decrease the overall oil supply for the United States. However, it seems that the oil supplies from the Gulf might be slowdown, as clearly, repair works are being carried out to stop the oil leakage.
