XES in Focus

The underlying S&P Oil & Gas Equipment & Services Select Industry Index represents the oil and gas equipment and services sub-industry portion of the S&P Total Markets Index. The expense ratio is 0.35% (see all Energy ETFs here).

Why the move?

On Mar 6, the Senate approved President Joe Biden's $1.9-trillion stimulus package, sending the amended bill back for a vote in the House. The Democratic-controlled Senate voted 50-to-49 to pass the "American Rescue Plan" through reconciliation. News for increased fiscal stimulus, growing distribution of coronavirus vaccine has boosted the bets over faster-than-expected normalcy. This, in turn boosted the price of oil and energy shares.

More Gains Ahead?

The fund has a positive weighted alpha of 157.08. So, there is a decent outlook ahead for those who want to ride this surging ETF a shade further.
