In this article, we are going to discuss the energy stocks that are gaining this week.
The S&P Energy index shot up by 3.38% between February 23 and March 2, compared to gains of $0.64% posted by the overall S&P 500 during the period. The spike has been driven by the sharp surge in global crude oil prices following the ongoing supply concerns in the Middle East.
The WTI crude oil futures have surged by almost 16% since February 27 and are currently hovering at just under $76 under barrel as the Iran crisis continues to escalate. Tehran has retaliated to the US-Israel strikes by effectively blocking the Strait of Hormuz, a move that threatens to choke a fifth of the global oil and LNG supply. Moreover, the flurry of Iranian drone attacks has led to the suspension of operations at Saudi Arabia’s biggest domestic oil refinery, LNG facilities in Qatar, most oil production in Iraqi Kurdistan, and several Israeli gas fields, further disrupting energy supply and putting upward pressure on prices.
According to Bloomberg, a prolonged closure of the ever-important waterway of Hormuz could lift oil prices toward $108 per barrel, which would be the highest since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
