The S&P 500 Energy sector has regained strength, reaching its highest level since the end of April. The Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund ($XLE) has achieved an all-time high (ATH) on a total return basis, emerging as the leading sector over the past three years with a 7.7% increase. Despite oil prices declining by 2.1% since the election, oil stocks have risen by 7.7%, possibly due to expectations of reduced regulatory pressure from the incoming administration. The Financials Select Sector SPDR Fund ($XLF) is also performing strongly, leading sector ETFs year-to-date (YTD) with a 36% increase. The worst performer since the election has been the Health Care sector ($XLV), which has seen a 2.6% decline.
