Energy stocks are on the move Wednesday as reports of crude oil shortages are increasing prices.
The big problem with crude oil has to do with the Gulf of Mexico. Disturbances by recent tropical storms and hurricanes have limited the amount of oil that can be drawn. Adding to that is the fact that more storms are on the way.
This means that it could be some time before crude oil draw in the Gulf of Mexico can return to normal. That would mean increasing prices for crude oil, which can mean rising prices for energy stocks, Seeking Alpha notes.
Let’s take a look at some of the biggest movements among energy stocks today!
