The bullish setups across the energy complex of crude oil, heating oil, natural gas, and rbob gasoline has big implications for energy stocks from here into year-end. And potentially further on as well.
I like the breakout to new highs for the Oil and Gas Exploration and Production ETF (XOP). And we can also see that today’s chart shows a breakout in relative strength performance (vs. the S&P 500 ETF – SPY).
Here we can see that the relative performance chart is breaking out as well. And I believe it will get to the recent highs as an initial target. This is a sector that I like and plan to add to.
Some stocks I like in this sector include CLR, FANG, DVN, EOG, HES, COP, DVN and OXY. I also like refiners PSX and VLO. MPC is emerging from a base and has great potential.
