Leading And Lagging Sectors For June 26, 2025

<p>Tech stocks climbed to new highs early Wednesday, with the <strong>Nasdaq 100</strong> briefly touching 22,329 points after the opening bell, surpassing its previous <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46096528/nasdaq-100-record-highs-rally-historical-performance">peak from February 19.</a> </p>
<p>Yet, by midday trading, the rally lost steam, with major indices giving back early gains. By 12:30 p.m. ET, the <strong>Nasdaq 100</strong> was trading at 22,234, up 0.2% on the day. Other large-cap benchmarks hovered near the flatline, while the <strong>Russell 2000</strong> fell 0.7%, reflecting weakness in small-cap names.</p>
<p>At a NATO meeting in the Netherlands, President <strong>Donald Trump</strong> said that a ceasefire between Israel and Iran remains in place and that the United States will continue exerting pressure on Tehran. He clarified that while sanctions remain, Iran is currently allowed to sell oil to <strong>China</strong>.</p>
<p>Trump also renewed his call for NATO allies to raise their defense spending to 5% of GDP, more than double the current 2% guideline, arguing that Europe must carry a larger share of the military burden.</p>
<p>In day two of his testimony before Congress, Federal Reserve Chair <strong>Jerome Powell</strong> said that evolving trade conditions could influence monetary policy decisions, suggesting that future trade agreements might create room for interest rate cuts—though no timing was provided.</p>
<p><strong>Advanced Micro Devices Inc.</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) led chipmaker gains, rising 3.1% and reaching its highest level since early December 2024. The stock is tracking toward its strongest monthly performance since May 2023.</p>
<p>The broader chip sector is also rallying. The <strong>iShares Semiconductor ETF </strong>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>) is up 15% month-to-date, on track for its best monthly return since November 2023.</p>
<p>Bond markets were steady, with the <strong>10-year Treasury yield</strong> holding at <strong>4.31%</strong>, showing little reaction to Powell's testimony or geopolitical headlines.</p>
<p>In commodities, oil prices rebounded 2% to $66 per barrel, after falling more than 12% over the previous two sessions. In industry news, <strong>Shell plc</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHEL#NYSE">SHEL</a>) is reportedly in early-stage talks to acquire rival <strong>BP</strong> <strong>plc</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BP#NYSE">BP</a>), though no formal offer has been made yet.</p>
<p>Gold was unchanged at $3,328 per ounce, while silver gained 0.5% to $36.</p>
<p>In crypto markets, <strong>Bitcoin </strong>(CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) advanced 1.2%, trading just above $107,000. </p>

Tech Stocks Notch New Highs As Chipmakers Power The Rally: What's Driving Markets Wednesday?

<p>The world&#8217;s biggest hedge funds are making some eyebrow-raising moves and they&#8217;re laser-obsessed with one thing: Big Tech. Based on the most recent 13F filings, institutional investors and hedge funds poured billions into big <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/technology-stocks">tech stocks</a> such as <strong>Nvidia </strong>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), <strong>Microsoft </strong>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), <strong>Amazon </strong>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), <strong>Tesla </strong>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) and <strong>Apple </strong>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) during the last quarter. Even <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">ETFs themselves</a>, like the <strong>iShares Core S&amp;P 500 ETF</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IVV#NYSE">IVV</a>), experienced big inflows of more than $21 billion.</p>
<p>So what does it all mean for average investors? Two things:</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The pros remain highly optimistic about tech.</li>
<li>By investing in the right ETFs, individual investors can achieve similar exposure without the hedge fund-sized balance sheet.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Follow The Smart Money</h2>
<p>While the headlines tend to flow to the likes of <strong>BlackRock</strong>, <strong>Vanguard</strong> or <strong>Millennium Management</strong>, individual investors have access to the same mega-cap tech surge through ETFs. </p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a rundown of some of those top stocks against recent fund inflows:</p>

<p><br />In the meantime, <strong>IVV,</strong> an S&amp;P 500 exchange-traded fund, was one of the largest, gaining more than $21.36 billion with <strong>Capula Management</strong> and <strong>Millennium </strong>taking the lead.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">ETFs That Follow The Hedge Fund Tech Bounce</h2>
<p>Here are a few ETFs individual investors can look to access the same themes:</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>IVV, VOO, SPY – Timeless S&amp;P 500 Exposure</strong></h3>
<p>Apart from IVV, the <strong>Vanguard S&amp;P 500 ETF</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VOO#NYSE">VOO</a>) and the <strong>SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) are filled with the same big-name tech stocks that hedge funds adore. Microsoft, Apple, Nvidia, Amazon, <strong>Alphabet </strong>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>), and <strong>Meta </strong>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) comprise the heaviest weightings. Notably, VOO has garnered <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/broad-u-s-equity-etfs/25/06/46060843/vanguard-etfs-lead-2025-with-150-billion-inflows-challenging-wall-streets-old-guard">$82 billion in inflows this year</a> as of May 18, indicating strong demand.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">QQQ, QQQM – Growth-Oriented &amp; Technology-Laden</h3>
<p>Following the Nasdaq-100,<strong> Invesco QQQ Trust </strong>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) and<strong> Invesco NASDAQ 100 ETF </strong>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQM#NASDAQ">QQQM</a>) provide leveraged exposure to the largest names in tech, including the leaders of the AI revolution.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">XLK, VGT &#8211; Technology-Sector Focused </h3>
<p><strong>Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLK#NYSE">XLK</a>) and <strong>Vanguard Information Technology ETF</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VGT#NYSE">VGT</a>). These sector-specific ETFs are best for those seeking a cleaner play in the space. XLK, for example, has more than 40% of its assets in MSFT and AAPL combined.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why The Sprint?</h2>
<p>A number of tailwinds are driving this hedge fund tech wave:</p>
<p><strong>AI Arms Race: </strong>Hedge funds are wagering big that the AI revolution is only just beginning.</p>
<p><strong>Earnings Resilience: </strong>Big Tech has shown remarkable stability and earnings growth amid rate hikes.</p>
<p><strong>Cloud &amp; Infrastructure Demand: </strong>Enterprise spending is ramping back up in areas dominated by Microsoft, Amazon and Alphabet.</p>
<p>Even ETFs like IVV, typically seen as broad-market plays, are riding this trend thanks to their tech-heavy weightings.</p>
<p>Hedge funds weren&#8217;t hoarding Big Tech with deep pockets, so retail investors don&#8217;t have to watch from the sidelines. One can create a diversified, tech-heavy portfolio with a few clicks using ETFs, and a lot less cash.</p>

Leading And Lagging Sectors For June 25, 2025

<p>U.S. equities rallied Tuesday morning as investor sentiment improved following a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Iran, confirmed by both President <strong>Donald Trump</strong> and Israeli <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46072859/trump-says-israel-is-not-going-to-attack-iran-after-ceasefire-violation-turn-around-and-head-home">Prime Minister <strong>Benjamin Netanyahu</strong></a>. </p>
<p>The Nasdaq 100 jumped 1.6% to 22,200 by 12:45 p.m. ET, putting its February all-time high of 22,222 within striking distance. </p>
<p>The tech-heavy index also formed a golden cross—a bullish chart pattern where the 50-day moving average moves above the 200-day, often seen as a signal of sustained upward momentum.</p>
<p>All major indexes posted gains of more than 1%. The S&amp;P 500 climbed to 6,100, nearing its record high of 6,147, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average advanced to 43,120.</p>
<p>Oil prices plunged 5% to $64 a barrel, extending Monday's 7.2% drop and echoing the steep two-day declines observed in early April.</p>
<p>Sector performance was broadly positive, with technology and communication services leading the rally. Energy and consumer staples were the only sectors in negative territory.</p>
<p>The <strong>Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLK#NYSE">XLK</a>) rose 1.8% to a record $247.26. Within the Magnificent Seven, <strong>Amazon.com Inc.</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) surged 2.5%, outpacing peers.</p>
<p>Semiconductor stocks rebounded sharply, with the <strong>iShares Semiconductor ETF</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>) rallying 3.7%, recovering to levels last seen before the January selloff triggered by DeepSeek-related concerns.</p>
<p>Gold prices fell 1.5% to $3,320 per ounce, as investor demand for safe-haven assets weakened amid reduced geopolitical risk.</p>
<p><strong>Bitcoin </strong>(CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) edged up 0.5% to $106,000, following a 4.3% rally on Monday. </p>

S&P 500 Extends Retreat From Highs, Bitcoin Falls Below $103,000: What's Driving Markets Friday?

<p>As broader U.S. equity funds suffered their largest weekly outflow of $18.43 billion since March this week, according to LSEG Lipper as cited by Reuters, one corner of the market quietly shined: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">sector ETFs</a>. Despite the risk-off mood driven by intensifying Israel-Iran tensions and uncertainty around U.S. tariffs, investors poured money into focused plays, signaling a tactical rotation rather than a wholesale retreat.</p>
<p><strong>Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/sector-etfs/25/06/46017365/consumer-spending-slips-but-these-niche-retail-etfs-are-defying-the-downtrend">Consumer Spending Slips, But These Niche Retail ETFs Are Defying The Downtrend</a></strong></p>
<p>Tech and industrial ETFs were the week's breakout stars, absorbing $1.85 billion and $445 million in inflows, respectively. This marks the fourth straight week of sectoral ETF gains, even as large-cap, mid-cap, and small-cap equity funds all bled red ink.</p>
<p>So, where is the &#8220;smart&#8221; money flowing, and why?</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Sector ETFs To Watch</h2>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Technology ETFs: Betting On Resilience And AI Tailwinds</h3>
<p>Tech continues to draw interest as investors seek exposure to innovation and growth even in uncertain times. The sector&#8217;s relative insulation from geopolitical strife and the ongoing AI boom likely contributed to this surge.</p>
<p>Top Picks:</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLK#NYSE">XLK</a>): Blue-chip heavy with <strong>Apple </strong>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), <strong>Microsoft </strong>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), and <strong>NVIDIA </strong>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>).</li>
<li><strong>Vanguard Information Technology ETF</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VGT#NYSE">VGT</a>): A broader tech play with strong diversification.</li>
<li><strong>ROBO Global Robotics and Automation Index ETF </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ROBO#NYSE">ROBO</a>): For those leaning into automation and AI trends. Top holdings include <strong>Symbotic </strong>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SYM#NASDAQ">SYM</a>), <strong>Rockwell Automation</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ROK#NYSE">ROK</a>), and <strong>Celestica </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CLS#NYSE">CLS</a>).</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Industrial ETFs: Infrastructure And Defense Boost</h3>
<p>Industrials are gaining favor amid expectations of increased infrastructure spending and growing demand for defense and manufacturing equipment, especially in the light of global tensions.</p>
<p>Top Picks:</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Industrial Select Sector SPDR Fund</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLI#NYSE">XLI</a>): A solid all-around industrials fund with exposure to companies like <strong>Raytheon </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RTX#NYSE">RTX</a>) and <strong>Honeywell </strong>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HON#NASDAQ">HON</a>).</li>
<li><strong>Invesco Aerospace &amp; Defense ETF </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PPA#NYSE">PPA</a>): A niche option benefiting from the defense sector rally. Top holdings include <strong>General Electric</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GE#NYSE">GE</a>) and <strong>General Dynamics</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GD#NYSE">GD</a>).</li>
<li><strong>iShares U.S. Infrastructure ETF </strong>(BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IFRA#BATS">IFRA</a>): Capitalizing on the ongoing U.S. infrastructure push with holdings in the likes of <strong>Sterling Infrastructure</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STRL#NASDAQ">STRL</a>), Raytheon and <strong>Axon Enterprise</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AXON#NASDAQ">AXON</a>).</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Financials Falter, But Don't Count Them Out</h3>
<p>While the tech and industrial boats raced ahead on tailwinds, financial ETFs saw $1.22 billion in outflows, suggesting investor unease about profitability under sticky inflation and a "higher for longer" interest rate regime. One can consider keeping an eye on the <strong>Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLF#NYSE">XLF</a>) and the <strong>SPDR S&amp;P Regional Banking ETF</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KRE#NYSE">KRE</a>), but only if rate and lending conditions stabilize.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Takeaway</h2>
<p>Investors aren't abandoning the market, they're just getting choosier. With geopolitics and economic uncertainty muddying the waters, sector ETFs are emerging as a tactical safe haven for capital.</p>

WYNN

Palantir Hits New Peak, AMD Rallies To 6-Month Highs: What's Driving Markets On Monday?

<p>U.S. retail sales for May are expected to post a sharp monthly decline, potentially reinforcing concerns that tariff headlines and economic uncertainty are starting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s">to pinch consumer spending. </a></p>
<p>That would mark the second monthly drop in 2025 after January's 0.9% plunge. Monthly declines in retail sales have been rare over the past two years, with only five months showing negative prints.</p>
<p>A fresh pullback—particularly at the start of the second quarter, following an already negative first quarter—could signal that deeper cracks are forming in the U.S. consumer landscape.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Retail Sales Look Weak Again—Here's What's Coming</h3>
<p>The median Wall Street economist expects the Bureau of Economic Analysis to report a 0.7% decline in May retail sales Tuesday morning at 8:30 a.m. ET. </p>
<p>Bank of America is calling for a 0.6% drop. More importantly, they expect the "control group," the slice of sales that actually matters for GDP calculations, to come in flat.</p>
<p>"We expect a soft retail sales report for May," said Adhyta Bhave, economist at Bank of America, in a report last week.</p>
<p>Bank of America's internal credit card data shows that spending was particularly weak in areas like home improvement, groceries and general merchandise.</p>
<p>&#8220;Total card spending per household dropped 0.7% month-over-month on a seasonally adjusted basis,&#8221; the investment bank stated. </p>
<p>&#8220;If&nbsp;our forecast of a&nbsp;flat print on&nbsp;retail sales ex-autos in&nbsp;May&nbsp;proves&nbsp;correct,&nbsp;the&nbsp;3-month average growth rate would&nbsp;tick down,&#8221; Bhave said. </p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Are Tariffs To Blame?</h3>
<p>The weakness in consumer spending follows a turbulent period in U.S. trade policy, but Bank of America data suggests that the average household didn't significantly alter its behavior in response to key events—such as the April 2 tariff announcement or the partial trade deal with China on May 12.</p>
<p>The picture changes when looking at high-income households. Wealthier Americans appeared far more responsive to trade developments, particularly when it came to electronics.</p>
<p>&#8220;Electronics have been very sensitive to the news&#8230; We find that the top 5% and top 1% income cohorts&nbsp;increased their online electronics purchases&nbsp;immediately&nbsp;after&nbsp;the April 9 escalation of China tariffs, likely to get ahead of the tariffs,&#8221; Bhave said. </p>
<p>That pattern repeated among the top 1% following the May 12 U.S.-China agreement.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Could The Market React Like It Did in February?</h3>
<p>Back in mid-February, a weak January retail report helped spark a nasty sell-off. </p>
<p>The S&amp;P 500 lost 0.4% the week January&#8217;s retail data came out and shed 7.8% over the next month. At the time, fears of a recession were back on the table, fueled by President <strong>Donald Trump</strong>'s tough talks on trade.</p>
<p>Both consumer and tech stocks entered a period of weakness. The <strong>Consumer Discretionary Select Sector SPDR Fund </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLY#NYSE">XLY</a>) fell 14% over that 30-day stretch following Feb. 14. The <strong>Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLK#NYSE">XLK</a>) wasn't spared either, losing 10%.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">So… Will It Happen Again?</h3>
<p>Maybe not. There are three things working in the market's favor right now.</p>
<p>First, Trump has since put a 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs, which has taken some of the heat out of trade fears. </p>
<p>Second, inflation is cooling. Two softer-than-expected CPI reports last week bolstered investor bets on the Fed cutting rates later this year.</p>
<p>Third, on Monday, the geopolitical front took a positive turn. Iran reportedly signaled a desire for de-escalation in fighting with Israel and expressed openness to renegotiating a nuclear deal with the United States. This development pushed oil prices lower, easing energy cost concerns while boosting investor appetite for riskier assets.</p>

Retail Sales Face Key Tariff Test: How Could Markets React To Weaker Spending?

<p>Markets cheered Monday after Iran signaled it wants to de-escalate tensions with Israel and return to negotiations, easing geopolitical jitters that had rattled investors and sent oil prices <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst-color/25/06/45940903/a-thin-strip-of-water-keeps-the-world-economy-on-edge-will-it-trigger-a-100-oil-shock">surging last week.</a></p>
<p>A report from the <a href="https://www.wsj.com/world/middle-east/a-battered-iran-signals-it-wants-to-de-escalate-hostilities-with-israel-and-negotiate-9feab4ae">Wall Street Journal</a> revealed that Iran, facing mounting economic and military pressure, has quietly told Arab intermediaries it's open to resuming talks over its nuclear program—on the condition that the United States refrains from entering the conflict.</p>
<p>Reports also emerged that Iran requested Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Oman to urge President <strong>Donald Trump</strong> to pressure Israel into agreeing to an immediate ceasefire.</p>
<p>The overture follows days of intense Israeli airstrikes and threats from Prime Minister <strong>Benjamin Netanyahu</strong>, who remains committed to dismantling Iran&#8217;s nuclear capabilities and missile infrastructure.</p>
<p>Despite Netanyahu's firm stance, Tehran&#8217;s signals appear to have reignited risk sentiment, easing fears escalation of Middle East conflict and leading to a risk-on rally across global equities.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Stocks Rally, VIX Falls</h3>
<p>The S&amp;P 500 jumped 1.12% to 6,043 by 10:20 a.m. ET, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 1.14%, or 480 points, to 42,678. </p>
<p>The tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 – as tracked by the<strong> Invesco QQQ Trust</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) – rose 1.49% to 21,954, bringing it within just one percentage point of its all-time high.</p>
<p>The CBOE Volatility Index, or VIX, tumbled 10.3% to 18.8. </p>
<p>Gold prices dipped 1.2% to just under $3,400 an ounce, with investors rotating out of safe-haven assets and into equities.</p>
<p><strong>Bitcoin</strong> (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) soared 2.7% to above $107,000, signaling improving sentiment towards crypto. </p>

<p>The <strong>Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLK#NYSE">XLK</a>) gained 1.5% to hit a record $243 per share, while the <strong>Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLF#NYSE">XLF</a>) and <strong>Communications Services Select Sector SPDR Fund</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLC#NYSE">XLC</a>) rose 1.4% and 1.5%, respectively.</p>

Wall Street Roars Back As Iran Signals De-Escalation: Nasdaq 100 Nears All-Time High

<p>Investors have flocked into energy plays in the aftermath of last week's flare-up between Israel and Iran, signaling heightened expectations that escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East will continue to lift oil prices <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities">and benefit U.S. energy firms.</a></p>
<p>On Friday, a day after Israel launched "Operation Rising Lion" targeting over 100 Iranian nuclear and military sites and Iran retaliated with missile attacks on Israeli cities, the <strong>Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLE#NYSE">XLE</a>) attracted $199 million in fresh capital, according to TradingView data.</p>
<p>That marks the largest single-day inflow since late April and the third-highest this year. </p>
<p>Over the full week, XLE pulled in $470 million—its biggest weekly haul since October 2024—while also logging six consecutive sessions of gains, the longest winning streak in eight months. </p>
<p>Looking at specific energy industries, the <strong>SPDR Oil &amp; Gas Exploration &amp; Production ETF</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOP#NYSE">XOP</a>) also witnessed consistent demand throughout the week, recording five straight days of inflows. Weekly net investments hit $310 million, the second strongest week of 2025 for the fund.</p>
<p>Other sector-focused ETFs trailed the energy fund's inflows, with the <strong>Materials Select Sector SPDR Fund</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLB#NYSE">XLB</a>) pulling in $295 million and the <strong>Utilities Select Sector SPDR Fund</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLU#NYSE">XLU</a>) attracting $267 million for the week.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Big Fear Is Iranian Oil Disruption</h3>
<p>The renewed conflict pushed West Texas Intermediate crude to $72 per barrel by Friday, a 12% weekly gain and its strongest performance in years, as investors priced in rising supply risks.</p>
<p>Riding the wave of higher oil prices, the Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund  outperformed the S&amp;P 500 by 6% last week—its biggest weekly outperformance since September 2024 and the second largest since October 2022.</p>
<p>"Thus far, at least, Israel has not directly targeted Iran's oil supply, which appears to be unaffected," said <strong>Matthew Ryan</strong>, head of market strategy at Ebury, in an emailed comment. </p>
<p>"The big fear for investors is that an escalation will not only raise the risk of a prolonged conflict, but it could disrupt Iranian oil production."</p>
<p>The Goldman Sachs commodities team sees a rising geopolitical risk premium. In one modeled scenario, they assume Iran's output drops by 1.75 million barrels per day over six months due to infrastructure damage, with core OPEC+ offsetting only half of that.</p>
<p>In such a case, Brent could peak just above $90 before falling back to the $60s in 2026 as Iranian supply recovers.</p>
<p>Yet, Goldman's <strong>Daan Struyven</strong> also warned of more extreme outcomes. If broader regional production or logistics—especially in the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow passage that carries nearly 20% of global oil—are impacted, prices could exceed $100 per barrel.</p>
<p>"In that extreme tail scenario, OPEC+ may be unable to deploy enough spare capacity," Struyven said, highlighting that the oil market remains vulnerable to sudden shocks, particularly through chokepoints like Hormuz.</p>
