Deutsche Bank upgraded Marathon Oil Corporation (NYSE: MRO) to Buy. PT raised to $50.

Deutsche analyst says, "Our second annual Boston refining conference strongly supported the mega-themes we have identified in our "Diamond Age" US refining thesis: strong product exports from strong emerging market and recovering OECD demand, growing North American oil supply providing discounted crudes, cheap natgas lowering opex; overall rising free cash flow. We are upgrading margin and earnings forecasts across the group. Marathon has lagged, is cheaper than Valero (NYSE: VLO) and fits all our themes."
