But a $70 scenario assumes that OPEC producers will maintain their 40% market share of global oil supply, with plans to invest in additional production.

Переслать - Earnings Preview For June 30 - July 4
Perhaps a holiday-shortened week is what the market needs to declare independence from the current selling pressure. The U.S. financial markets will be closed on Friday, July 4. The NYSE and Nasdaq will close at 1 p.m. on Thursday, July 3.
