This past week, the Model Oil Portfolio declined 0.2%. Since inception at the beginning of June, the stock portion is off 4.8% and the overall portfolio is down 1.2%. The Energy sector is looking for a positive catalyst to get it moving again. Exhibiting its lethargy in full view, the sector hardly reacted to the positive news from OPEC+ that the cartel will continue to curtail production for at least the next nine months. Maybe if the USA and China resolve their trade/tariffs dispute, that will provide the necessary catalyst to generate investor interest and improve the sector’s performance.
