Suncor Energy: The only integrated energy loser
Suncor Energy (SU) is the only losing stock in the current week from the integrated energy sector. It fell from last week’s close of $34.67 to $34.52 on October 11, 2017, or marginally by 0.43%. While there’s no specific news release by the company, we know that Suncor Energy has been on a strong uptrend since the start of July 2017 and has risen ~23.0% since then. In fact, on Thursday last week, SU hit a 52-week high of $35.18.
So this week’s move in SU looks like a correction in the ongoing upward move. Currently, SU stock has strong support of its 50-day moving at $32.97. The previous correction in SU in August 2017 found support from its 50-day moving average.
SU’s rally might face resistance at around the $38 level, which represents a downward trend line from SU’s peaks marked in 2011 and 2014.
