In this article, we are going to discuss the energy stocks that are gaining this week.
President Trump’s aggressive trade policies continued to create more opportunities for the American energy sector, following reports on November 17 that India had inked a deal to acquire almost 10% of its liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) imports from the United States. As per the agreement, New Delhi will import roughly 2.2 million tons of LPG per year from the US Gulf Coast, as part of its efforts to reduce its trade surplus with Washington. Moreover, India’s imports of American crude oil also witnessed a sharp uptick in October and reached their highest level since February 2021.
Moreover, the United States also signed a landmark nuclear cooperation pact with Saudi Arabia last week, potentially paving the way for American companies to build reactors in the kingdom.
In other news, global crude oil prices fell on Friday as investors weighed the Trump administration’s push to secure a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine. According to senior officials, the US-backed agreement to end the long-running conflict is making progress, potentially opening the door for Moscow to export its oil to an international market already facing a significant surplus next year.
