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.
