<p>The energy sector is facing heightened investor scrutiny as recent developments have added uncertainty to oil markets. </p>
<p>A combination of rising U.S. crude inventories, geopolitical tensions and trade concerns has triggered volatility in oil prices, leading to mixed reactions across energy-related stocks and ETFs. With these changes in play, investors are closely watching <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">oil-focused ETFs</a> to gauge their exposure and potential risks.</p>
<h1 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>ETFs To Watch Amid These Developments</strong></h1>
<p>For investors looking to navigate these shifting dynamics, several energy-focused ETFs offer exposure to key industry players:</p>
<p><strong>Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLE#NYSE">XLE</a>): This ETF tracks large-cap energy stocks, including major oil and gas giants like <strong>ExxonMobil Corp. </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>) and <strong>Chevron Corp </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVX#NYSE">CVX</a>). Given recent market pressures, XLE has experienced fluctuations, but it remains a popular choice for those seeking broad exposure to the sector, with an expense ratio of 0.09%.</p>
<p><strong>Vanguard Energy Index Fund ETF </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VDE#NYSE">VDE</a>): Offering a more diversified portfolio, VDE covers both upstream and downstream oil and gas companies, providing investors with a balanced approach amid market uncertainty. Apart from Exxon and Chevron, the fund also allocates a significant weightage to companies like <strong>ConocoPhillips</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COP#NYSE">COP</a>). The recent volatility in the oil sector has taken most of the stocks in the ETF for a ride.</p>
<p><strong>United States Natural Gas Fund </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNG#NYSE">UNG</a>): Unlike oil-focused ETFs, UNG provides investors with exposure to natural gas futures. This ETF is particularly relevant for those looking to diversify within the energy sector, as natural gas prices are influenced by different factors than crude oil, including weather patterns, production levels and storage data. Given the increasing reliance on natural gas for power generation and heating, UNG offers a distinct alternative for energy-focused investors.</p>
<p><strong>Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/content/44164489/2-energy-stocks-to-play-both-sides-of-tariff-uncertainty">2 Energy Stocks to Play Both Sides of Tariff Uncertainty</a></strong></p>
<h1 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Oil Prices Plummet, Consumer Sentiment Damp</strong></h1>
<p>Oil prices recently hit a six-month low as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44150023/why-exxon-mobil-xom-stock-hit-a-new-52-week-low-today">U.S. crude stockpiles increased </a>by 3.6 million barrels as of March 5. This unexpected rise in supply has weighed heavily on energy stocks, including major players such as ExxonMobil. </p>
<p>As one of the largest integrated oil and gas companies, Exxon is particularly vulnerable to declining crude prices, which directly impact its upstream profits. Lower prices also squeeze refining margins, making it more difficult for companies to offset losses through downstream operations. Thus, ETFs with significant allocations in Exxon, such as XLE and VDE stand to be affected by oil price slips.</p>
<p>Adding to the pressure, OPEC+ has confirmed its plan to roll back production cuts in April, fueling concerns about a potential supply glut. This decision has further dampened investor sentiment in the energy sector.</p>
<p>Moreover, the Trump administration is considering a strategy to halt and inspect Iranian oil tankers at sea, a move aimed at curbing Tehran's oil revenue and its potential links to nuclear proliferation. If implemented, these inspections could delay crude deliveries, leading to supply chain disruptions. </p>
<p>Iran has previously retaliated against such measures by seizing foreign vessels, raising concerns about further escalation in maritime tensions.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42922934/oil-stocks-rally-on-anticipation-of-stricter-russian-sanctions-heres-how-etfs-are-reacting">Trade tensions have resurfaced</a> with the Trump administration imposing import tariffs of 25% on Mexico and Canada and an additional 10% on China. Given that Canada is the top supplier of crude oil to the U.S., these tariffs could have significant implications for energy trade. A third of all U.S. crude imports come from Mexico, further amplifying concerns about the impact of protectionist policies on the energy sector.</p>
<p>With oil prices experiencing turbulence, geopolitical tensions rising and trade policies shifting, energy-focused ETFs are in the spotlight. Whether investors see the current downturn as a buying opportunity or a reason to tread cautiously, it would be prudent to stay informed about market trends and ETF holdings.</p>

Decoding AutoZone's Options Activity: What's the Big Picture?

<p>The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has reaffirmed its stance against recommending Alzheimer&#8217;s treatments donanemab and lecanemab for NHS use, citing <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care" rel="noreferrer noopener">insufficient cost-effectiveness</a>.</p>
<p>Despite additional evidence submitted by manufacturers, the independent appraisal committee <a target="_blank" href="https://www.nice.org.uk/news/articles/second-consultation-launched-on-nhs-funding-for-alzheimer-s-treatments" rel="noreferrer noopener">concluded</a> that the treatments do not provide enough benefit to justify their significant cost.</p>
<p>NICE first raised concerns about these treatments last year, determining that their clinical benefits did not outweigh the financial burden they would place on the NHS.</p>

<p>Although the U.K.&#8217;s Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) approved Eli Lilly&#8217;s Kisunla (donanemab) in October, NICE <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/24/10/41498770/eli-lilly-alzheimers-drug-faces-tough-road-in-uk-price-watchdog-nice-says-donanemab-is-not-cost-effe" rel="noreferrer noopener">refused&nbsp;to cover it</a>.</p>
<p>The agency ruled that the cost of providing donanemab balanced against the relatively small benefit cannot currently be considered good value for the taxpayer.</p>
<p>In August, MHRA approved <strong>Biogen Inc&#8217;s</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIIB#NASDAQ">BIIB</a>) <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/08/40514109/biogens-alzheimers-drug-secures-uk-approval-but-an-independent-agency-does-not-recommend-reimburs" rel="noreferrer noopener">Leqembi (lecanemab)</a>.</p>
<p>Despite the approval, NICE said in its guidance draft,&#8221;&nbsp;benefits of the new Alzheimer&#8217;s drug lecanemab are too small to justify the costs.&#8221;</p>
<p>Following a request for further data, the latest assessment has reinforced that donanemab and lecanemab remain economically unviable for NHS funding.</p>
<p>&#8220;Cost and evidence gaps remain barriers to approving funding in the NHS for donanemab and lecanemab,&#8221; the agency says in its statement.</p>
<p>Stakeholders are encouraged to contribute their perspectives before the consultation period closes on March 27, 2025.</p>
<p>A third committee meeting will review all responses and additional analyses before NICE issues its final recommendations.</p>
<p><strong>Price Action:</strong> At the last check on Thursday, BIIB stock was up 1.50% at $145.92, and LLY stock was down 2.82% at $903.84.</p>

<p><strong>Trader Notes: </strong>In an X <a href="https://x.com/ali_charts/status/1897396450528809329">post</a> on Thursday, Crypto chart analyst Ali Martinez highlighted that DOGE is trading within an ascending parallel channel. If the $0.16 support level holds, a rally toward the mid-channel at $2.74 or even the upper boundary at $6.24 remains possible.</p>
<p><figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><br />

<p>In another <a href="https://x.com/ali_charts/status/1897582425611604128">tweet</a>, Martinez warned that if DOGE fails to hold this level, it could crash significantly. </p>
<p>DOGE has tended to rebound from this channel since 2014 towards the upward resistance trend line. </p>
<p>A break below $0.19 could trigger a sharp correction toward $0.015.</p>

<p>Coinglass data shows Dogecoin liquidations in the past 24 hours stood at $6.5 million, while open interest increased 2.4% to $1.8 billion. DOGE Derivatives trading volume expanded 12.9% to $3.08 billion.</p>
<p><strong>What's Next: </strong>With rising whale activity, increasing open interest, and the upcoming White House event, DOGE could be setting up for a major move—but whether that's a breakout or breakdown depends on key support levels.</p>
