Summary

.. a truly dire trio of charts for the energy sector.. and with energy prices themselves continuing to fall.. the outlook is ugly for the rest of the year.
-

However.. a sector does not make the entire market.. and even though the outlook for energy related stocks ain't so great... the broader market looks set to climb.
