Buy These 2 Highly Ranked Oil Stocks to Join the Rally
Read MoreHide Full Article
Several weeks ago, OPEC+ announced a large cut in oil production, and prices haven’t stopped rallying since. The price of WTI Oil is breaking out of a bull flag after retaking the $80/barrel level.
Energy has been the leading sector over the last two years, and it looks like it may continue. Even after the tremendous run up in the sector, many energy companies still boast reasonable valuations, and bullish catalysts.
In addition to the technical catalysts, there are also fundamental tailwinds for the energy market as well. Trends in travel, particularly air travel are up considerably over the last year, and the reopening of China’s market boosts demand dramatically. Additionally, fears of an economic slowdown have yet to show up in any significant way, and inflation continues to slow at only a meager pace. However, a contraction in the economy would certainly have a strong effect on the price of oil and does remain a risk.
