Shares of Valero Energy Corporation (NYSE:VLO), declined -9.09% to $61.14, during its last trading session, as U.S. oil prices traded below $40 a barrel for the first time since the 2009 financial crisis, ending 2 percent lower on Friday on signs of U.S. oversupply and weak Chinese manufacturing and notching the longest weekly losing streak in almost three decades, according to Reuters.
U.S. crude dipped below the $40 threshold following weekly data that showed U.S. energy firms added two oil-drilling rigs last week, the fifth enhance in a row. The rise in the number of rigs emerging after a second quarter lull in prices is adding to concerns U.S. shale production is proving slow to respond to falling prices, prolonging a global glut.
