Shares of companies in the broader energy sector are trading higher as oil and natural gas rise. Energy has been volatile as investors assess tariff developments and recent OPEC+ actions.

The Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLE#NASDAQ">XLE</a>) is trading lower by 6.91% to $76.67 during Thursday&#8217;s session, as investors stepped back from Wednesday's risk-on rally and locked in profits, even as new inflation data came in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s/25/04/44733390/march-inflation-rate-cools-far-more-than-expected-raises-hopes-for-near-term-fed-rate-cuts">cooler than expected</a>.
What To Know: After surging around 10% following President Donald Trump's surprise 90-day pause on additional tariffs for non-retaliating countries, XLE fell around 5.9% Thursday morning, mirroring a broader market cooldown.
XLE is a sector-focused exchange-traded fund that tracks the performance of U.S. energy companies within the S&amp;P 500. Its top holdings include Exxon Mobil Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>), Chevron Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVX#NYSE">CVX</a>), Schlumberger NV (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SLB#NYSE">SLB</a>), ConocoPhillips (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COP#NYSE">COP</a>) and Occidental Petroleum Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OXY#NYSE">OXY</a>)—firms highly sensitive to commodity pricing, global demand expectations and geopolitical developments.

What Else: Despite the pullback, Thursday's macroeconomic backdrop was supportive. U.S. consumer prices <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s/25/04/44733390/march-inflation-rate-cools-far-more-than-expected-raises-hopes-for-near-term-fed-rate-cuts">unexpectedly declined in March</a>, with headline inflation falling to 2.4% year-over-year and core inflation easing to 2.8%, both below forecasts. 
The CPI even contracted 0.1% month-over-month, the lowest reading since May 2020, suggesting that tariff-related price pressures may be easing rather than accelerating.
However, energy markets faced mixed signals. A sharp 6.3% drop in gasoline prices weighed on the sector outlook, despite increased investor confidence in global trade stability following the tariff reprieve.
XLE's pullback Thursday also likely reflects a combination of profit taking and caution in a sector still tethered to volatile global dynamics, including Chinese demand, OPEC policy and currency fluctuations.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, XLE has a 52-week high of $98.97 and a 52-week low of $74.49.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h2>Analyst Ratings: Simplified</h2>
Analysts are specialists within banking and financial systems that typically report for specific stocks or within defined sectors. These people research company financial statements, sit in conference calls and meetings, and speak with relevant insiders to determine what are known as analyst ratings for stocks. Typically, analysts will rate each stock once a quarter. 
Beyond their standard evaluations, some analysts contribute predictions for metrics like growth estimates, earnings, and revenue, furnishing investors with additional guidance. Users of analyst ratings should be mindful that this specialized advice is shaped by human perspectives and may be subject to variability.
