Why Oil Stocks Are Soaring Today
The price of oil rebounded on Wednesday, with the U.S. benchmark West Texas intermediate (WTI) closing up more than 2%. That brought its price back above $50 a barrel, which is a key level for most producers.
That uptick in the crude oil market helped fuel a rally in most oil stocks. Several surged double digits at one point during the day, including Chesapeake Energy (NYSE: CHK), Denbury Resources (NYSE: DNR), Whiting Petroleum (NYSE: WLL), and Oasis Petroleum (NYSE: OAS).
