Short interest in the major integrated oil companies rose, except at BP, which saw a significant drop following its settlement with the U.S. government. The shorts also piled into the services companies, but generally bailed out of the refiners. That makes sense because the demand for drilling and services has waned, causing suppliers to cut prices, while refining margins have been firm.
