Maybe energy isn't dead yet
European stocks had a big bounce in the middle of the week when it looked like the energy fever had broken but oil has made new highs and what looked like it could be a rapid turnaround in gas has stalled (though TTF is down 10% today). The forecast for mid-October in Europe is for colder weather and low wind so that will be something to watch.
