4 Ultra-Cheap Oil Stocks to Buy
Wall Street is drifting lower again on Wednesday as President Donald Trump remains unable to juice prices higher with hopes of a U.S.-China trade deal despite his best efforts on Twitter (NYSE:TWTR). The problem with all his obvious market coddling is that China isn’t playing along, with Beijing’s strategy appearing to harden its position and push American share prices lower.
As a result, the Dow Jones Industrial Average is testing critical support near its 200-day moving average.
Despite this, there are areas of the market such as energy that are perking up. Crude oil is challenging down channel resistance that has been in play since April in what looks like a reappearance of fears over tensions with Iran. As a result, a number of extremely cheap oil and gas stocks are perking up.
