Energy Stocks Quietly Outperforming

Plus, what to expect from this week’s big economic reports
 
   
     

Oil is up today after new sanctions on China were announced, but here’s the part that might surprise you…

Even though crude oil is still down on the year, energy stocks have quietly become the top-performing sector out of all 11 major groups.

They’re up about 4% in 2025 — while the S&P 500 is still down about 3%.

In other words: energy stocks are doing just fine.

And while oil itself might look weak on the surface, this sector strength tells us something different — institutional money is flowing into names tied to energy, even as tech and consumer sectors have lagged.

I’ll be watching to see if this strength continues, especially as geopolitical tensions remain high and we move deeper into the year.

What Else Should You Be Watching This Week?
In Friday’s Weekly Wrap-Up , I walked through a bunch of key data releases to watch in the week ahead — including:

Monday: S&P Global Manufacturing PMI(came in below expectations)
Tuesday: New Home Sales, Consumer Confidence
Wednesday: Durable Goods Orders,
Thursday: GDP(it’s a revision, so likely won’t move markets much)
Friday: PCE (Personal Consumption Expenditures)— the big one

PCE is one of the Fed’s favorite inflation measures, so if you’re wondering what might move markets this week, circle Friday on your calendar.

I’ll be talking about all this and more on tomorrow’s FREE, LIVE Market Radar session at 2pm Eastern.

Don’t let this market catch you by surprise!
