The first day of the trading week on Wall Street was covered in red as all three of the major indices took a hit. The energy sector was the biggest loser with oil down $2.32 to $37.65 a barrel, the lowest level since February 2009- A seven year low. Peter Cardillo, chief market economist at First Standard Financial told CNBC:
“Obviously it’s about oil below $40, a new year-low. That’s going to pressure things and induce some profit-taking today. After Friday’s surge, the fact that oil prices are lower is probably going to impact the market on the negative side.”
