What’s Ahead for the Dow Jones Industrial Average Today

The Dow Jones Industrial Average projected a 106-point decline as investors weighed falling oil prices and renewed speculation over the timing of the next interest rate hike by the Federal Reserve.

Oil prices were falling fast this morning after a troubling report from the International Energy Agency (IEA). The global energy watchdog projected a sharp decline in international demand in the year ahead. The IEA says it anticipates oversupply in the market the first six months of 2017. That cuts into previous forecasts and expectations that anticipated greater balance in the markets toward the end of this year. The silver lining is that today’s report could place greater pressure on OPEC and Russia to cooperate on supporting oil prices when the global oil cartel meets this month to discuss its production targets.

This morning, the WTI crude price was off 2.1%, while Brent crude fell 1.6%.
