5 Energy ETFs & Stocks That Gained From Rebound in Oil Price
Read MoreHide Full Article
After having worst week since the financial crisis, oil price has shown a strong reversal in the past couple of days on signs of monetary and fiscal stimulus and anticipation of further production cuts.
This is especially true as both crude oil and Brent have gained nearly 7%, the biggest two-day percentage gains for both contracts since prices snapped back after the missile attacks on Saudi Arabian oil facilities in September 2019. Central banks across the globe are likely to enact financial stimulus to prop up the virus-infected economy (read: ETFs at Risk as Oil Slides to 13-Month Low on Covid-19 Scares).
Meanwhile, the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”) and its allies are expected to announce deeper production cuts at their meeting on Mar 5-6 in Vienna. The group has been cutting output by 1.7 million barrels per day in a deal that runs to the end of March. Now, the OPEC is mulling over a bigger output cut of possibly 1 million barrels per day with or without Russia's support, to halt the slide in crude prices triggered by the global spread of coronavirus. This is more than an initially proposed cut of 600,000 barrels per day.
Given the rebound in oil price, the energy sector enjoyed a huge surge. We have highlighted the ETFs & stocks that gained most in the latest trading session and will continue to head higher with the rise in oil price.

While these are best performers in the space, they all lag behind the broader markets significantly. Our ranking system takes into account the asset class outlook, which was negative for energy and hence most ETFs in that space had #4 (Sell) or #5 (Strong Sell) ranks.
This fund provides exposure to companies in the oil, gas and consumable fuel, energy equipment and services industries by tracking the Energy Select Sector Index.
This oil and gas exploration company produces assets located in Texas and New Mexico and its investment activity will be focused on the Delaware Basin portion of the Permian Basin.
