13:02 ET Sector Watch: Oil Service : Remains under substantial pressure following early slide led by GLBL -7.3%, SII -7.2, NE -7%, RDC -6.7% and RIG -6.3%. However, the OSX index has established a temporary bottom near its 20/50/100/200 moving averages in the 123/122 area. Stabilization above here is a positive but a move back through 126/128 is needed to neutralize the short term negative bias. Next supports for the index are at 119 and 115. |
