Kinder Morgan stock downgraded to neutral at Argus

Analysts at Argus on Tuesday downgraded the stock of Kinder Morgan Inc. to their equivalent of neutral, from buy. With prices for crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids trending lower, Kinder Morgan's volume and capacity demand will be restricted, the analysts said.

The neutral rating is appropriate "until commodity markets begin to mount a sustainable rebound," the analysts said. Shares of Kinder Morgan have gained 31% this year, compared with gains of 18% for the S&P 500 index.
