U.S. Tech Sector Could Gain if Oil Prices Stabilize

Dow Jones07-15

0858 GMT - The U.S. tech sector could benefit if oil prices stabilize and investors reduce expectations of interest-rate rises by the U.S. Federal Reserve, Tickmill Group's Patrick Munnelly says in a note. Rising oil prices have caused markets to price in a high possibility of Fed interest-rate rises in the coming months, and lowered demand for risk assets. Nonetheless, if energy prices climb further, inflation concerns could rise and reduce risk appetite, he says. (miriam.mukuru@wsj.com)
