Five Star Equities Provides Stock Research on Abraxas Petroleum and Rex Energy
(firmenpresse) - NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwire) -- 06/13/12 -- Oil stocks have struggled over the last month amongst concerns of a potential financial crisis in Europe. The SPDR S&P Oil & Gas Exploration & Production ETF (XOP) has fallen nearly 11 percent in the past month. As Europe accounts for approximately 20 percent of the world's consumption of oil, a weak economy would weigh heavily on oil demand. Five Star Equities examines the outlook for companies in Oil and Gas Industry and provides equity research on Abraxas Petroleum Corp. (NASDAQ: AXAS) and Rex Energy Corporation (NASDAQ: REXX).

Oil prices hit eight-month lows Monday after Spain's bailout plan failed to ease concerns of the euro region's debt crisis. Prices for crude oil for July delivery fell to $82.70, their lowest levels since Oct. 6. "There's skepticism about the plan" for the bailout, said John Kilduff, a partner at Again Capital LLC. "The euphoria was short-lived as attentions shifted to Italy and even France."
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke's comments last Friday gave no hint of stimulus from the central bank to help boost the economy. Bernanke stated that the Federal Reserve was ready to take action if Europe's problems began to threaten the U.S. economy, but gave no hint that any additional measures were coming in the near future.
