Sector Update: Energy

By Midnight Trader,  October 03, 2011, 02:06:51 PM EDT

Energy shares are broadly lower as crude oil futures - which had held the high ground for much of the first half of the day - succumbed to downward pressure to trade below $79 a barrel. Light, sweet crude for November delivery is trading down 0.57% to $78.71 a barrel. In energy ETFs, the United States Oil Fund ( USO ) is down 0.89% to $30.22. The United States Natural Gas ETF ( UNG ) is down 1.17% to $8.90. In mid-day news, Hercules Offshore ( HERO ) is down after it says the Starfish, a 140 class liftboat, capsized after being struck by multiple waterspouts late in the evening on Sept. 30.
