In this short clip from Live Trading Room (Mar 17, 2026), Samantha LaDuc explains why energy stocks are outperforming the broader market, highlighting the strength of XLE versus SPY and the role of rising oil prices in driving that trend.
She points to a structural shift toward commodities and “inflationary assets,” noting that energy equities continue to show momentum despite being overbought.
Overall, the takeaway is that energy leadership remains intact, with XLE likely to keep outperforming as long as oil and commodity trends stay strong.
