Impact on Market
Why It Matters
This is an indicator for North America. An increase or decrease in the number of drilling rigs means that crude oil output is expected to increase or decrease accordingly, leading to changes in crude oil prices, which in turn will affect the U.S. dollar, the Canadian dollar, and the currencies of other crude oil - exporting countries.
