If there\u2019s an effect, it\u2019s not big enough to hit the eyes.<\/h2>\n<p>Given that Trump adores oil and views it as a key source of national wealth, you\u2019d think his election would be a boon for the oil industry. If he is aiding the industry, that doesn\u2019t stand out in looking at the stock market. Oil stocks went up and the day after he was elected, and again after he was sworn in. That suggests some market sentiment in his favor. But, as our former President would have said, here\u2019s the thing: the market sagged back down just as quickly.\u00a0 What\u2019s the deal here?<\/p>\n<p>Oil prices, along with the industry\u2019s stock prices, are volatile and affected by a host of factors like the general state of the economy and Middle East politics.\u00a0 But I would have expected that Trump\u2019s policies would provide dramatic benefits to the industry, enough so to leave a clear signature in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spglobal.com\/spdji\/en\/indices\/equity\/dow-jones-us-oil-gas-index\/?currency=USD&amp;returntype=P-#overview\">Dow Jones U.S. Oil and Gas Index<\/a>. \u00a0I\u2019m just not seeing that.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s what\u2019s been happening to oil shares. From the end of last October to November 22, the index rose about 75 points (about 10%), which could have been due to Trump. But over the next month, it dropped by about 100 points. It began to recover again and by the end of February was back about where it had been just before the election.\u00a0 After Trump\u2019s tariff announcement in April, it dropped 100 points again. There may be a beneficial Trump effect lurking here, but like I said,\u00a0 the market doesn\u2019t seem to be expecting a huge surge in profits due to him.<\/p>\n<p>There could be several reasons for this, one of them being that the price of oil is set in global markets, and U.S. government policy is just one of many factors. Another is that Trump may not be able to increase production by much. The primary factor driving production is the cost of oil. If that goes up, it become profitable to do more drilling.\u00a0 The availability of additional sites for drilling may not be as important. In addition, some of Trump\u2019s policies like U.S. tariffs on steel may raise industry costs. Tariffs could also indirectly limit markets for U.S. oil due to retaliation by other countries.\u00a0 Those cost changes could depress production.<\/p>\n<p>No doubt, the industry would rather have Trump in office than Harris. But the effect on industry profits may only be incremental.\u00a0 It may be just as important, for instance, how quickly China ramps up sales of electric vehicles, given that China is still a major source of demand.\u00a0 It would be great to see a rigorous statistical analysis by a finance expert. I certainly can\u2019t rule out the possibility of a significant Trump effect; I can only say that any effect can\u2019t be too huge.<\/p>\n<p><!-- AddThis Advanced Settings above via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Advanced Settings below via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons above via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons below via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p class=\"tags\"><i class=\"fa fa-tag\"\/> <a href=\"https:\/\/legal-planet.org\/tag\/energy\/\" rel=\"tag\">Energy<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/legal-planet.org\/tag\/energy-economics\/\" rel=\"tag\">energy economics<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/legal-planet.org\/tag\/fossil-fuels\/\" rel=\"tag\">fossil fuels<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/legal-planet.org\/tag\/oil-and-gas-industry\/\" rel=\"tag\">oil and gas industry<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/legal-planet.org\/tag\/oil-and-gas-production\/\" rel=\"tag\">Oil and gas production<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/legal-planet.org\/tag\/trump-administration\/\" rel=\"tag\">Trump Administration<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is Trump Good for the Oil Industry?
