Exxon Mobil, Chevron Down with Oil Futures
Exxon Mobil (NYSE:XOM) and Chevron (NYSE:CVX) dropped in early trading as crude oil futures fell below $81 a barrel.
This wasn't a complete surprise, as it seems the market was looking for an excuse for a breather after a week of moving upward.
Pressures also came from ongoing concerns over Greek sovereign debt and the Reserve Bank of India surprisingly increasing its repurchase rate to 5 percent, something that caught the markets off guard.
Worries are circulating that China could be next in line to make a similar move.
