We recently published a list of Energy stocks that are losing this week. In this article, let’s take a look at where Ecopetrol SA (NYSE: EC) is against other energy stocks that are diminishing this week.

After a slight rise, the global price of the crudetern fell again during the last week, decreasing a little more than 5%. The price of West Texas Intermediate (WTI) is currently placing less than $ 60, painting a bleak vision for the global oil industry. Investors are preparing OPEC+ to increase production, in the midst of the concern that President Trump’s rates would affect the global economy and slowly demand for fuel.

In addition, adding to the concerns of investors, an important oil and gas company in the United Kingdom unveiled its profits from the first quarter of 2025 this week, and reported a deeper fall of 48% of the net profit in the weakest refinement and gas negotiation. The energy market also hopes that two North oil tankers will report their results by the end of this week, which will present a clearer image of the sector and its projections.

A sector that has been especially affected by the decrease in the crude price is that of oil fields, which hopes that a strong decrease in drilling activity will be advanced if prices will be at the current levels. It is worth mentioning that the short interest in the energy sector reached 2.58% in March compared to 2.52% in February, with the shortest industry in the sector that is team and gas and gas services. This was mainly due to the rates imposed by the Trump administration for steel and aluminum imports, which have increased the costs and margins diminished for a sector that is already being reduced to slowdown in the coming months.
