Energy stocks plunged Monday after Saudi Arabia said it would lower prices and increase production even as demand for oil has weakened.
The scope of the bloodletting was epic.
The S&P 500 energy sector tumbled 20%, as West Texas crude oil for April delivery CL.1, -26.89% fell 25% to settle at $31.13 a barrel. That was the largest one-day price drop for oil since 1991.
Among broader indexes, the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -7.78% skidded 2,014 points (or 7.8%) to close at 23,851.02. The S&P 500 Index SPX, -7.59% was down 7.6% and ended 18.9% below its Feb. 19 closing high. The Nasdaq Composite Index COMP, -7.28% dropped 7.3% Monday.
William Watts explained how Saudi Arabia’s oil shock rattled global financial markets. Here’s a list of banks with high levels of credit exposure to the energy industry.
“We will see a bear-market rally in the short term” following Monday’s “brutal action,” Luca Paolini, chief strategist at Pictet Asset Management in London, said in an interview.
Even so, investors won’t see a bottom for U.S. stocks until domestic economic reports begin to show signs of weakness, he said.
“About 40% of the global economy is contracting,” including China, Japan, Italy and several other countries, he said.
Expanding our review to the S&P 1500 energy sector (drawn from the S&P 500 Index SPX, -7.59%, the S&P Mid Cap 400 Index MID, -9.13% and the S&P Small Cap 600 Index SML, -9.64% ), here are the 45 U.S.-traded energy stocks that fell at least 30% Monday:
