Five-Year Lows
Seventy Seven Energy Inc (NYSE:SSE) being from the oil-related sector could not escape the heat that hammered the oil stocks due to oil slide. While oil prices are free falling, a yet another decline came yesterday after Saudi Arabia questioned the need to cut oil production. Resultantly, the benchmark U.S. oil prices tanked below a level of $60, its lowest mark since July 2009. Yesterday, Saudi Arabia has clearly stated that it is more concerned about its market share. Oil prices are under severe pressure, after OPEC’s three largest members, Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Kuwait did not budge on cutting the oil output. In fact, Saudi Arabian Oil Minister, Ali Al-Naimi, asked, “Why should I cut production? This is a market, and I’m selling in the market. Why should I cut?”
The statement from the minister signals that the worries for oil companies are far from over. OPEC’s decision is going to hurt non-opec regions in a big way. OPEC members have promised a steep discount in oil prices to Asian counterparts, and the situation will not improve until and unless one objects or decides to cut the output.
