Twelve (12) New Permits -- The Williston Basin, North Dakota; Several Producers With "High-IP" Wells; MRO Reports A Huge Well; 4 Of 5 Wells Go To "DRL" Status; Tuesday, July 8, 2014

Earning(s) season officially opens:

Alcoa beats by $0.06, beats on revs; reaffirms FY14 global aluminum demand growth guidance +7%; raises North America commercial transportation mkt growth guidance: Reports Q2 (Jun) adj. earnings of $0.18 per share, $0.06 better than the Capital IQ Consensus of $0.12; revenues fell 0.2% year/year to $5.84 bln vs the $5.65 bln consensus.

Futures at 6:35 p.m. CDT: Dow down 6.00 points; WTI oil up about 8 cents.

Note on 2Q14: "everyone" has been saying that 2Q14 will be a great quarter (coming off a winter-induced collapse -- their word, not mine); but today the market falls 115 points and the headline says that was due to "earnings warnings. Perhaps 2Q14 won't come in so "hot."
