Pre-Market Outlook

XLRE

Leading And Lagging Sectors For April 1, 2025

<p>Several Republican senators are poised to join Democrats in opposing President<strong> Donald Trump</strong>&#8216;s proposed 25% tariffs on Canada, as market experts warn of potential economic fallout ahead of Wednesday&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44577203/tom-lee-says-markets-are-deeply-oversold-expects-bitcoin-to-lead-rebound-as-investors-fear-trumps-tariff-impact">anticipated trade announcement</a>.</p>
<p><strong>What Happened</strong>: Sen. <strong>Susan Collins</strong> (R-Maine) confirmed on Monday she plans to back Sen. <strong>Tim Kaine</strong>&#8216;s (D-Va.) resolution to terminate the national emergency declaration Trump used to justify the tariffs on America&#8217;s largest trading partner.</p>
<p>&#8220;Imposing tariffs on Canada, which is our closest neighbor, [a] friendly ally, is a huge mistake and will cause disruption in the economies of both countries,&#8221; Collins said, according <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/03/31/senate-vote-canada-tariffs-susan-collins-00262363">to</a> Politico, while wearing Canadian and U.S. flag pins. She cited potential job losses in key Maine industries, including lobstering, wood pulp, and agricultural production.</p>
<p>Collins is expected to join GOP Sen. <strong>Rand Paul</strong> (R-Ky.), a co-sponsor of Kaine&#8217;s resolution, and Sen. <strong>Thom Tillis</strong> (R-N.C.), who expressed concerns about tariffs on North American neighbors. &#8220;We need to fight battles with our foes first and then try to figure out any inequities with our friends second,&#8221; Tillis said.</p>
<p>If all 47 Democratic caucus members support the resolution and at least four Republicans join, it would mark the most significant Republican rebuke of Trump&#8217;s second term.</p>

<p><strong>Why It Matters</strong>: Meanwhile, the tariff uncertainty has contributed to market volatility. The S&amp;P 500, tracked by <strong>SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), recently entered correction territory and recorded its worst <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44576937/sp-500-suffers-worst-quarterly-lag-against-global-markets-since-1988-as-tech-rout-hits-hard">quarterly performance against global markets</a> since 1988, according to Bloomberg data.</p>
<p><strong>Fundstrat</strong>&#8216;s <strong>Tom Lee </strong>believes markets are &#8220;deeply oversold&#8221; with investors pricing in &#8220;worst case&#8221; scenarios. &#8220;Post-Wednesday, markets are going to have some visibility. That allows us to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44577203/tom-lee-says-markets-are-deeply-oversold-expects-bitcoin-to-lead-rebound-as-investors-fear-trumps-tariff-impact">take some of the selling pressure off</a>,&#8221; Lee said on Monday.</p>
<p>A Benzinga poll found 48% of respondents believe markets will crash following Trump&#8217;s reciprocal tariff announcement, while 29% expect little impact and 23% <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/25/03/44566164/exclusive-could-trumps-liberation-day-reciprocal-tariffs-crash-the-stock-market-48-say-this?tblci=GiAShVRBa42nCBtWlx7IMC67Vo2BcWpr85L5I7snseW6sCCN1VcolqTZ7-yIiJzNATDviEo">anticipate a market rise</a>.</p>

GOP Senators Call Trump's 25% Canada Tariff A 'Huge Mistake' As Republican Opposition Grows, Markets Fear Economic Disruption

<p>The S&amp;P 500, tracked by <strong>SPDR S&amp;P 500</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), has recorded its largest quarterly underperformance against global markets in 37 years. </p>
<p><strong>What Happened</strong>: The U.S. benchmark index trailed the MSCI All Country World Excluding United States Index by the widest margin since 1988, according to Bloomberg data shared by Barchart on Monday. </p>
<p>The performance gap marks a notable reversal from recent years when U.S. stocks frequently outpaced international markets.</p>
<p>Large-cap technology stocks drove much of the quarterly decline, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">data from Benzinga Pro</a>. <strong>Trade Desk </strong>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TTD#NASDAQ">TTD</a>) fell 53.99%, <strong>Deckers Outdoor</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DECK#NYSE">DECK</a>) dropped 46.13%, and <strong>Marvell Technology </strong>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRVL#NASDAQ">MRVL</a>) lost 45.40%. <strong>Tesla Inc. </strong>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) declined 38.95% during the period.</p>
<p>The technology sector&#8217;s weakness is reflected in the <strong>iShares Semiconductor ETF</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>), which fell 11.9% in March alone. The broader tech-focused Nasdaq 100 dropped 1.1% as semiconductor <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s/25/03/44567966/stocks-fall-sp-500-eyes-worst-month-in-almost-two-years-oil-rallies-whats-driving-markets-monday">companies weighed on performance</a>.</p>

<p><strong>Why It Matters</strong>: Energy emerged as the quarter&#8217;s strongest sector, tracking toward its fourth consecutive positive month with year-to-date gains of 8.5%. The <strong>Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLE#NYSE">XLE</a>) outperformed other sectors in recent trading.</p>
<p>Goldman Sachs, citing the changing market dynamics, lowered its S&amp;P 500 earnings growth estimates to 3% for 2025 and 6% for 2026, down from 7% <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/03/44560485/goldman-sachs-slashes-sp-500-price-outlook-as-tariffs-weaker-growth-hit-earnings">previously for both years</a>.</p>

<p>Historical perspective from Bloomberg data indicates the performance gap between U.S. and global stocks has fluctuated significantly over time, with the S&amp;P 500 occasionally outperforming global markets by up to 15 percentage points in the early 1990s, late 1990s, and mid-2000s.</p>

S&P 500 Just Had Its Worst Quarter vs. Global Stocks Since 1988: What's Driving The Rout

WIIM

Shares of energy stocks are trading higher amid strength in oil and natural gas prices.

<p>Risk sentiment remains under pressure at the start of the week on Wall Street, with tech-heavy indexes sliding while commodities advance, as traders fear a new wave of price pressures following <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tariffs">the upcoming tariffs announcement.</a></p>
<p>The <strong>S&amp;P 500</strong> experienced a turbulent morning session, first hitting its lowest level in over six months before clawing back some ground and trimming losses. Nevertheless, the benchmark equity index is on track for its worst month since September 2022, having fallen 7% in March.</p>
<p>Tech stocks remained the weakest link, with the<strong> Nasdaq 100 </strong>down 1.1% as semiconductor names weighed on the broader sector. The <strong>iShares Semiconductor ETF</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>) dropped 1.9% and is down 11.9% month-to-date — also marking its worst month since September 2022.</p>
<p>President Donald Trump's threats toward Iran over the weekend pushed crude oil prices up by 3.5% for the session, marking the biggest single-day gain since October.</p>
<p>Energy-related stocks outperformed and are on pace to log their fourth consecutive positive month, now up 8.5% year-to-date.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, <strong>gold prices </strong>continued to smash record highs, with bullion surging over 1% to $3,115 per ounce. Quarterly gains have reached 18% — the strongest three-month rally since 2009.</p>
<p><strong>Bitcoin</strong> (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) inched up 1.2% to $83,400, fighting to avoid a second consecutive monthly decline.</p>

<p><strong>What Happened:</strong> The Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas <a href="https://www.dallasfed.org/research/surveys/des/2025/2501#tab-comments">released </a>its quarterly survey of leaders in the oil and gas industry on Wednesday. Those surveyed did not mince words about their frustration with the Trump Administration.</p>
<p>&#8220;The administration&#8217;s chaos is a disaster for the commodity markets. &#8216;Drill, baby, drill&#8217; is nothing short of a myth and populist rallying cry. Tariff policy is impossible for us to predict and doesn&#8217;t have a clear goal. We want more stability,&#8221; one exploration and production executive said.</p>
<p>Feedback seemed to converge around a newfound state of uncertainty with the administration&#8217;s tariff policy and contradictory public statements. Respondents complained of difficulty planning for future years, given the administration&#8217;s changing rhetoric.</p>
<p>&#8220;I have never felt more uncertainty about our business in my entire 40-plus-year career,&#8221; another executive said.</p>
<p><strong>Why it Matters:</strong> Trump&#8217;s ultimate tariff plans are unclear. The second-term president has repeatedly gone back and forth on his plans to place tariffs on U.S. allies, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/politics/25/03/44283923/trump-tariff-delay-on-autos-supported-by-75-of-readers-in-poll-will-pause-lead-to-more-purchases-ahead-of-april">repeatedly pushing back</a> announced tariffs by weeks.</p>
<p>The <strong>Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLE#NYSE">XLE</a>) has traded roughly even since Trump took office on Jan. 20, outpacing the<strong> SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), which is down around 6%.</p>
<p>Trump&#8217;s embrace of tariffs is unusual for a Republican president. President <strong>Ronald Reagan</strong>, whose ideology of free markets and deregulation dominated Republican Party politics for over 30 years, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44269552/ronald-reagan-warned-that-tariffs-destroy-prosperity-trump-is-doubling-them-anyway-and-now-us-tech-giants-like-apple-and-nvidia-are-bracing-for-impact">warned tariffs</a> &#8220;hurt every American worker and consumer.&#8221;</p>

Oil And Gas Executives Rebuke Trump's 'Drill, Baby, Drill' Agenda: 'We Want More Stability'

<p>Wall Street dipped slightly on Thursday, with all major indexes edging into the red as investors digested President <strong>Donald Trump</strong>&#8216;s latest <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/03/44517885/trump-slaps-25-tariffs-on-autos-what-it-means-for-your-next-car-purchase">move on auto tariffs.</a></p>
<p>Late Wednesday, Trump announced a 25% tariff on all auto imports starting next week, with duties on auto parts set to follow in May.</p>
<p>European automakers took a hit, with<strong> Mercedes-Benz Group AG</strong> (OTCPK: MBGAF) and <strong>Porsche Automobile Holding SE </strong>(OTCPK: POAHF) sliding 2.5% and 5%, respectively. </p>
<p>Michigan-based carmakers didn't fare much better. Shares of <strong>Ford Motor Co.</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) fell 2.5%, while <strong>General Motors Co. </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) plunged 6.5%, with the latter marking the worst performance on the S&amp;P 500.</p>
<p>In contrast, U.S. electric vehicle makers rallied. <strong>Tesla Inc.</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) rose 2.6%, and <strong>Rivian Automotive Inc.</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIVN#NASDAQ">RIVN</a>) jumped 5%. The rally followed comments from Goldman Sachs analyst Mark Delenay, who pointed to their fully domestic production as a significant advantage <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44515578/trumps-25-tariff-set-to-hike-imported-car-prices-up-to-15000-higher-goldman-sachs-warns">under the new tariffs.</a></p>
<p>Meanwhile, gold extended its rally, climbing over 1% and testing record highs as the U.S. dollar softened. Silver gained 2%, while copper pulled back 2% after a strong run that had lifted it to all-time highs.</p>
<p><strong>Bitcoin</strong> (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) held firm at $86,875, signaling a cautious tone across the crypto market.</p>

Leading And Lagging Sectors For March 27, 2025

<p>April tends to be a favorable month for U.S. equities, and history makes a compelling case for this. Over the past 95 years, the S&amp;P 500 has gained an average of 1.1% in April, finishing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">higher 61% of the time.</a></p>
<p>In April, the index notched some of its most powerful monthly rallies in history, surging 43.6% in April 1933 and 17.9% in April 2020. Yet, it&#8217;s not always been a smooth ride — the worst April returns were a 20% crash in 1932 and a 9.5% drop in 1970.</p>
<p>Zooming in on the past three decades, April's track record becomes even more convincing. </p>
<p>The <strong>SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), the benchmark ETF tracking the S&amp;P 500, delivered an average gain of 1.9% over the last 30 Aprils, making it the second-best month of the year after November. SPY ended April in the green 77% of the time.</p>
<p>That said, 2025 has started on a cautious note. Through March 26, the S&amp;P 500 is down about 3% year-to-date. </p>
<p>Yet history suggests a seasonal tailwind could soon be at play — especially in four specific sectors that have consistently outperformed the broader market in April.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Financials (XLF): Banks Lead The Earnings Charge</h3>
<p>The <strong>Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLF#NYSE">XLF</a>) has historically been April&#8217;s top-performing sector. </p>
<p>Since its inception in 1999, XLF has risen an average of 2.7% during the month, with gains coming in 65% of the time. The seasonal strength is largely tied to the first-quarter earnings season, which kicks off in April and is typically led by major banks. Optimism surrounding annual earnings outlooks often provides a boost.</p>
<p>XLF has already outperformed the broader market in 2025, gaining 4.5% year-to-date. Within the sector, <strong>JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>)<strong> </strong>stands out: Over the past 45 years, JPM shares have climbed an average of 2.6% in April, delivering positive returns 68% of the time.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Consumer Discretionary (XLY): Big Tech Retailers Deliver Spring Strength</h3>
<p>The <strong>Consumer Discretionary Select Sector SPDR Fund</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLY#NYSE">XLY</a>) also posted a strong seasonal performance, rising 2.4% on average in April over the last 26 years. It has a 65% winning rate during the month.</p>
<p>April is historically the best month for <strong>Amazon.com Inc. </strong>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), with an average gain of 7.6% and a 70% success rate. </p>
<p>Likewise, <strong>Tesla Inc. </strong>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a><strong>)</strong> tends to accelerate this time of year, with April returns averaging 5.9%, making it the second-strongest month for the electric vehicle maker, behind only November's 11.9% surge.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Materials (XLB): A Solid Spring For Commodities And Chemicals</h3>
<p>The <strong>Materials Select Sector SPDR Fund</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLB#NYSE">XLB</a>) also delivered strong April sector performers. XLB has risen an average of 3.1% in April over the past 26 years, with a 65% win rate. The ETF is up about 3% year-to-date, suggesting some early momentum heading into April.</p>
<p>One heavyweight in the materials space, <strong>Linde plc </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LIN#NYSE">LIN</a>) — which represents roughly 20% of XLB's holdings — has consistently delivered in April. With 32 years of historical data, Linde has averaged a 3.5% gain in the month and ended April in positive territory 69% of the time.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Energy (XLE): The Strongest April Performer</h3>
<p>Energy stocks have historically delivered the most robust gains in April, with the <strong>Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLE#NYSE">XLE</a>) averaging a 4.1% return and closing the month higher 62% of the time. </p>
<p>Yet, it&#8217;s worth noting that this impressive figure is skewed by an extraordinary rebound in April 2020, when XLE surged nearly 30% following a historic 35% plunge in March 2020 — a period marked by collapsing oil prices and pandemic-driven market chaos. </p>
<p>Looking at long-term leaders within the sector, <strong>Exxon Mobil Corp. </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>) shares have gained an average of 2.7% in April over the past 40 years, while <strong>Chevron Corp. </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVX#NYSE">CVX</a>) performed slightly better, rising 3.1% on average over the same period. </p>

<p>Shares of oil and gas giant<strong> Exxon Mobil Corp.</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>) are hitting 16-week highs on Tuesday as investors bet President Donald Trump's latest tariff threat could be a positive <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/03/44460897/oil-prices-rally-exxon-hits-16-week-highs-as-trump-vows-25-tariffs-on-any-country-buying-venezuelan-crude">catalyst for the stock. </a></p>
<p><strong>What To Know:</strong> Trump took to Truth Social on Monday with the <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114217914259825110">promise</a> of 25% tariffs on any country that buys oil or gas from Venezuela, set to go into effect on April 2. </p>
<p>The secondary tariffs target major buyers of Venezuelan oil, including China, India, Spain, Italy and Cuba and could disrupt global oil supply chains. Exxon Mobil could potentially see new opportunities if the proposed tariff sends countries looking for alternative supply. </p>

<p>According to data from the Commerce Department, the U.S. bought $5.6 billion of oil and gas from Venezuela in 2024. Trump's proposed tariff could lead to a shift in U.S. oil import patterns, potentially benefiting domestic producers such as Exxon. </p>
<p>Oil prices jumped after Trump proposed the tariffs Monday with WTI crude oil futures reaching $69.40 per barrel on Tuesday, the highest level in three weeks. A tighter global supply of oil would send prices higher, also benefiting major refiners who have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44343416/oil-titan-harold-hamm-warns-drilling-could-stop-if-oil-prices-remain-low-you-cant-drill-baby-drill">recently warned</a> that low oil prices could affect their ability to remain viable. </p>
<p>Oil prices remain somewhat muted for now, due in part to an extension granted to <strong>Chevron Corp</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVX#NYSE">CVX</a>), which allows the company until May 27 to exit its Venezuelan oil operations. </p>
<p>The <strong>United States Oil Fund</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USO#NYSE">USO</a>), tracking the spot price of WTI, is up nearly 3% over the past five days and the <strong>SPDR Energy Select Sector Fund </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLE#NYSE">XLE</a>), tracking the U.S. energy sector, is up 2% over the same period.  </p>

Leading And Lagging Sectors For March 25, 2025

<p>Crude prices surged and energy stocks rose Monday after President<strong> Donald Trump</strong> vowed to slap a sweeping 25% tariff on any country that imports Venezuelan oil, signaling renewed geopolitical tensions <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/oil">in global energy markets.</a></p>
<p>West Texas Intermediate light crude, as closely tracked by the <strong>United States Oil Fund</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USO#NYSE">USO</a>), rose over 1% to $69 per barrel, touching a three-week high.</p>
<p>"Any country that purchases Oil and/or Gas from Venezuela will be forced to pay a Tariff of 25% to the United States on any Trade they do with our Country," Trump said, adding that enforcement would begin next month and be "registered and documented."</p>
<p>The statement came via a <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114217914259825110">post </a>on Truth Social, where the former president accused Venezuela of sending violent criminals to the United States and branded the Tren de Aragua gang as a &#8220;Foreign Terrorist Organization.&#8221;</p>
<p>Trump added that the proposed secondary tariffs would go into effect on April 2, what he called "Liberation Day in America."</p>

<p>Venezuela's oil exports have risen in recent years, and they remain a crucial revenue source for the embattled regime of Nicolás Maduro. </p>
<p>According to Reuters, Venezuela exported 772,000 barrels a day of crude last year, marking a 10% increase from a year earlier. China is widely considered the largest purchaser of Venezuelan crude, though much of the oil arrives through indirect routes or intermediaries that obscure its origin to sidestep international sanctions.</p>
<p>Beyond geopolitics, U.S. economic data on Monday gave oil another push. Business activity surveys in March came in stronger than expected, easing recession fears but raising concerns that input costs may be accelerating again.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">US Energy Stock Reactions</h3>
<p>The oil rally ignited gains across the energy sector. <strong>Exxon Mobil Corp. </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>) rose 1.1% to $116.75 by 11:15 a.m. in New York, reaching its highest level price since early December. <strong>Chevron Corp. </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVX#NYSE">CVX</a>) added 0.4%, while <strong>ConocoPhillips </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COP#NYSE">COP</a>)<strong> </strong>gained 0.6%.</p>
<p>The <strong>Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLE#NYSE">XLE</a>) climbed 0.6%, extending its year-to-date gain to 7.8%—the best performance among all S&amp;P 500 sectors in 2025.</p>

Leading And Lagging Sectors For March 24, 2025

<p>Wall Street remains in the red heading into the end of the week, with major indexes posting modest midday losses in New York, though well off <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">the session&#8217;s earlier lows.</a></p>
<p>At a White House event, President <strong>Donald Trump</strong> said there would be flexibility on the upcoming tariffs, easing investor concerns that their planned implementation on April 2 could trigger major disruptions.</p>
<p><strong>Read also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44439169/monster-equity-inflows-say-no-one-really-believes-trade-war-bank-of-americas-hartnett-says">&#8216;Monster Equity Inflows Say No One Really Believes Trade War,&#8217; Bank Of America&#8217;s Hartnett Says</a></strong></p>
<p>The news helped improve risk sentiment in equities, while gold is having its worst session since late February, down 1% as traders scale back positions in safe-haven assets.</p>
<p>The U.S. dollar reversed course to notch weekly gains after two consecutive weeks of losses. Among mega-cap stocks, <strong>Boeing Co. </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) and <strong>Tesla Inc.</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) led the way, climbing 4.9% and 4.2%, respectively.</p>
<p>Boeing, up 11% for the week, is on track for its strongest weekly performance since July 2023 after securing a multibillion-dollar contract to design and build a next-generation fighter jet for the U.S. Air Force—beating out rival <strong>Lockheed Martin Corp.</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>), which fell 6%.</p>
<p><strong>Bitcoin</strong> (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) dipped 0.4% to below $84,000 but is still holding onto weekly gains.</p>

Leading And Lagging Sectors For March 20, 2025

<p>Oil prices fell 1% Tuesday with geopolitical change and economic uncertainty contributing to market expectations. </p>
<p><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/03/44384160/oil-prices-slip-energy-stocks-pause-as-trump-putin-call-signals-ukraine-ceasefire-progress">Diplomatic talks between</a> U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin encouraged the prospect of a Ukraine ceasefire that might relax sanctions on Russian fuel exports, according to Reuters. But analysts warn it will take time for a meaningful recovery in Russian oil output. While this is, at least in part, due to the effects of Trump&#8217;s trade tariffs on energy demand, there are a number of other factors coming into play. These combine to create a complicated energy scenario, making <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">energy ETFs</a> a focal point of investor interest.</p>
<h1 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>How Energy ETFs Fit Into The Picture</strong></h1>
<p>ETFs provide exposure to the energy sector with risk management against changing oil prices and geopolitical events. Here&#8217;s how various kinds of energy ETFs could be impacted:</p>
<p><strong>Diversified Energy ETFs: </strong>These offer diversified exposure to exploration, production, refining and transport, enabling investors to control volatility. <strong>Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLE#NYSE">XLE</a>) and the <strong>iShares U.S. Energy ETF </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IYE#NYSE">IYE</a>) are options to consider, with expense ratios of 0.08% and 0.4%, respectively.</p>
<p><strong>Exploration and Production (E&amp;P) ETFs:</strong> Concentrated on extracting oil and gas, these ETFs can experience volatility due to changes in supply and demand. Investors may look at the <strong>SPDR S&amp;P Oil &amp; Gas Exploration &amp; Production ETF </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOP#NYSE">XOP</a>) and the <strong>iShares U.S. Oil &amp; Gas Exploration &amp; Production ETF </strong>(BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IEO#BATS">IEO</a>). The ETFs carry an expense ratio of 0.35% and 0.4%, respectively.</p>
<p><strong>Midstream ETFs: </strong>Comprising less price-volatile components, these may be rewarded with higher oil transport and storage requirements. Examples include the <strong>Alerian MLP ETF </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMLP#NYSE">AMLP</a>) and the <strong>Global X MLP ETF</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MLPA#NYSE">MLPA</a>), with expense ratios of 0.85% and 0.45%, respectively.</p>
<p><strong>Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44217245/us-shale-industry-set-to-boost-oil-output-despite-falling-prices-says-energy-secretary-the-economics-of-shale-dont-work-says-expert">US Shale Industry Can Deliver Trump&#8217;s Pledge For &#8216;Drill, Baby, Drill&#8217; Despite Falling Prices, Says Energy Secretary: &#8216;The Economics Of Shale Don&#8217;t Work,&#8217; Says Expert</a></strong></p>
<h1 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Contributing Factors To Slowing Oil Prices</strong></h1>
<p>• If sanctions against Russia are relaxed, its crude output — presently at 9.2 million barrels per day (bpd), from 10.6 million bpd in 2016 — might rise. But significant supply shifts might not be immediate, per the Reuters report.</p>
<p>• Trump's tariffs are pressuring global growth. The OECD warns of slower growth, while Wood Mackenzie cut its 2025 Brent crude forecast by $7 to $73 per barrel, according to Reuters.</p>
<p>• OPEC+ is going ahead with its scheduled April output increase, pumping additional supply into the market.</p>
<p>• Middle East uncertainty is another underpinning factor in oil prices. Trump&#8217;s military intervention in support of Iran-aligned Houthis in Yemen and Israeli airstrikes on Gaza inject volatility into the global oil supply.</p>
<p>• Chinese and German economic stimulus may be able to sustain oil demand, offsetting some of the pressure on prices lower.</p>
<p>• This week, the American Petroleum Institute (API) and U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) will report on oil inventories. Reuters reported that a 0.9 million barrel build is expected by analysts, which may have an impact on short-term price action.</p>
<p>Oil prices continue to be very volatile based on geopolitical and economic reasons. Energy ETFs provide investors with the means to ride out these changes, managing risk while achieving opportunity. Monitoring worldwide trends and inventory reports will be paramount in making smart investment decisions.</p>
