I’d note that Exxon is sending rigs from the gulf to other parts of the world, adds Tim Seymour. With a moratorium on deep-water drilling in the gulf I really think oil prices are going up.
I agree oil prices could climb, adds Brian Kelly, just on a decline in supply.
My estimates suggest oil trades around $85 into the back half of the year and around $90 in 2011, adds Raymond James analyst Pavel Molchanov.
I also agree oil will go higher in the wake of these events, says strategic investor Dennis Gartman, but I don't expect oil to trade much over $100 in my lifetime. There's a very large contango out there which says to me there's more than enough supply. With a very large contango, it's hard to feel broadly bullish.
If you're looking for a trade, I'd take a look at the solar names, adds Seymour. First Solar just got a big upgrade from Credit Suisse. I think alternative energy could get a push from these events.
I like to call solar 'oil on steroids', adds Raymond James analyst Pavel Molchanov. If oil trades higher solar usually follows. But my favorite energy play right now is with the super-majors; my favorite name among them is Chevron, he says.
In the space I think the trade is long nat gas, counsels Guy Adami. I'd play it with HGT or Apache.
