The SPDR Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLE), which tracks energy firms in the S&amp;P 500, has declined 3.9% this week amid a weakness in oil prices.The ETF, which has approximately $26.52 billion in assets under management, is on track to record its worst weekly decline since late May. The declines follow a more than 7% drop in both Brent crude and West Texas Intermediate crude prices this week, due to concerns about oversupply. Retail sentiment on Stocktwits about the <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/XLE">XLE ETF</a> was in the ‘neutral’ territory at the time of writing.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:794/99;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/XLE_Oct_JPG_1ec2500991.webp" alt="XLE’s Sentiment Meter and Message Volume as of 04:35 a.m. ET on Oct. 3, 2025 | Source: Stocktwits" width="794" height="99"><figcaption>XLE’s Sentiment Meter and Message Volume as of 04:35 a.m. ET on Oct. 3, 2025 | Source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>Oil prices have been pressured this week after reports said that OPEC+ and its allies could raise output by 500,000 barrels per day. The producer group has already brought back 2.5 million barrels per day (bpd) worth of nameplate capacity this year, which has pushed oil prices lower.“If OPEC+ does go ahead and announce a 500,000 bpd increase this weekend, it’s likely a big enough increase to send crude oil lower again, initially to support at $58.00, before a test of this year’s lows $55.00 area,” IG analyst Tony Sycamore said. Concerns over the U.S. government shutdown curtailing economic activity and the resumption of Iraq’s Kurdish oil exports are also weighing on the crude price, he added.Among individual stocks, Occidental Petroleum has fallen 6.8% this week, following its agreement to sell its Oxychem unit to Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway for $9.7 billion. However, analysts were not enthusiastic about the mega deal due to its timing.Roth MKM analysts stated that while the sale would help the oil and gas producer reduce its debt, it could negatively impact free cash flow growth in the coming years, as the unit was expected to contribute significantly to expansion.However, HSBC analysts upgraded the stock to 'buy' from 'hold' after noting that the share pullback from disappointment in the OxyChem sale price "presents a great buying opportunity."Separately, oil prices edged higher on Friday following a fire at a Chevron refinery in Los Angeles County. While authorities stated that they were able to contain the fire in a specific section of the refinery, the extent of the damage to the refinery could not be ascertained yet.The refinery is the second-biggest by capacity in California, and any prolonged shutdown is expected to cause a spike in fuel prices on the West Coast.Also See: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/cryptocurrency/bitcoin-analyst-says-not-far-away-from-new-all-time-highs/chCuQuiR3fq">Bitcoin Hovers Near $120K — Analyst Says Not ‘Far Away’ From New All-Time Highs</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

This Energy ETF Is Heading Toward Its Worst Week In Four Months — Can A Late Rebound Save The Day?

The declines follow a more than 7% drop in both Brent crude and West Texas Intermediate crude prices this week, due to concerns about oversupply.

Oil prices gained marginally in volatile trading on Wednesday as investors assessed the commentary by Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell as well as U.S. President Donald Trump’s shift in stance around the Ukraine War.Benchmark Brent crude prices rose 0.4% to $67.88 per barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate prices also gained 0.3% cents to $63.64 per barrel at 5.10 a.m. ET. Retail sentiment on Stocktwits about the <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/USO">United States Oil Fund</a> (USO) was in the ‘bullish’ territory at the time of writing.Both benchmarks climbed by more than $1 a barrel on Tuesday as a deal to resume exports from Iraq's Kurdistan stalled, halting pipeline shipments of approximately 230,000 barrels per day of oil from the region to Turkey, following requests from two key producers for debt repayment guarantees. Pipeline flows have been stopped since March 2023.Later in the day, President Donald Trump stated that Ukraine can reclaim all its territories, marking a reversal of his earlier stance, where he urged Kyiv to cede some of its territories to Russia. According to an AFP report, the Kremlin replied that there was “no alternative” for Russia than to continue its offensive on Ukraine that it launched in 2022.Trump has already urged Europe to scale back their purchases of Russian energy and floated higher tariffs on the buyers of Russian oil, including Russia and India.Separately, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell hinted that the U.S. central bank could take a hawkish approach to interest rate cuts. “Near-term risks to inflation are tilted to the upside and risks to employment to the downside — a challenging situation. Two-sided risks mean that there is no risk-free path,” Powell said in a speech on Tuesday.The U.S. dollar also advanced, capping some gains in oil prices. A stronger dollar makes the commodity more expensive for overseas buyers.Oil traders are also keenly awaiting the weekly U.S. crude inventory data. According to a Reuters report, citing market sources, American Petroleum Institute figures showed U.S. crude and gasoline stocks fell, while distillate stocks rose last week.Also See: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/rheinmetall-stock-ignites-retail-buzz-after-trump-s-about-face-on-ukraine-policy/chDKUatR3dC">Rheinmetall Stock Ignites Retail Buzz After Trump’s About-Face On Ukraine Policy</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

Oil prices fell on Thursday as investors dissected U.S. crude inventory data after an expected rate cut by the U.S. Federal Reserve.Benchmark Brent crude prices fell 0.5% to $67.56 per barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate prices also declined 40 cents to $63.64 per barrel at 3.42 a.m. ET. Retail sentiment on Stocktwits about the <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/USO">United States Oil Fund</a> (USO) was in the ‘bullish’ territory at the time of writing.The U.S. Federal Reserve delivered a widely anticipated 25-basis-point rate cut on Wednesday, following recent labor market weakness. However, markets remain divided on how many future rate cuts the Fed might announce this year.In his press conference, Powell emphasized the central bank’s tough ask of balancing its goal in an unusual situation, although he expressed concerns about the weakening labor market. Earlier in his speech, he called the September cut a “risk-management” cut, with the market interpreting the phrase as meaning “meeting-by-meeting” decision on future cuts."What caught markets’ attention was not just the easing, but Powell’s downbeat message," Phillip Nova analyst Priyanka Sachdeva said, according to a Reuters report, after saying that markets have already priced in two more rate cuts this year."He stressed weakening job markets and inflation that remains sticky, making the cut look more like risk-management than a demand booster," she noted.Investors were also concerned about oil demand in the world’s largest economy. U.S. crude oil inventories decreased last week, primarily due to a decline in imports and a sharp increase in exports, according to the Energy Information Administration's data.However, distillate stockpiles jumped by 4 million barrels, compared with market expectations of a 1.2 million barrel gain, according to ING commodities data.“This was the highest level seen since late January as exports continue to edge lower. This should help to ease some pressure on a tight diesel market, heading into the peak demand season for agricultural harvests and winter heating,” ING analysts said.Also See: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/cryptocurrency/bitcoin-shrugs-at-fed-rate-cut-as-xrp-dogecoin-et-fs-set-for-landmark-us-debut/chDc811R3Gk">Bitcoin Shrugs At Fed Rate Cut As XRP, Dogecoin ETFs Set for Landmark US Debut</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

Retail sentiment on Stocktwits about the<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/USO"> United States Oil Fund</a> (USO) was in the ‘bullish’ territory at the time of writing.Both contracts gained over 1% in the previous session as Ukrainian drone attacks threatened to disrupt oil supplies from Russia. According to a Reuters News report, Russia's oil pipeline Transneft had warned producers that they might have to cut output as several refineries went online.ING Commodities analysts noted that recent claims by Ukraine that it attacked the Saratov refinery in its latest strike on Russian energy facilities might help create a floor for oil prices at lower levels.&nbsp;However, oil prices were under pressure as concerns over U.S. demand mounted after mixed fuel inventory data. According to American Petroleum Institute data, U.S. gasoline inventories fell by 700,000 barrels, while distillate stocks increased by 1.9 million barrels.Oil traders are eagerly awaiting the Federal Reserve’s decision on benchmark interest rates, expected to be announced later on Wednesday. The U.S. central bank is widely expected to deliver a 25-basis-point rate cut amid weakness in the labor market.“The focus is on whether there will be two or three rate cuts this year,” IG Commodities analyst Tony Sycamore said in a note, including the probable cut on Wednesday. “Fed Chair Jerome Powell's tone on economic risks is crucial. Any 'buy the rumour, sell the news' effect may be short-lived, as further cuts in October and December remain possible.”Separately, the U.S. and India have begun their trade talks, with President Donald Trump speaking with Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the phone.

The EU currently expects to phase out Russian oil and gas by Jan. 1, 2028, to avoid a supply shock to its economy.Oil markets have found support in recent weeks as Ukraine has continued to hit Russian energy facilities, raising concerns over crude supply. Over the weekend, Ukraine launched hundreds of drones at Russia, hitting the Kirishinefteorgsintez refinery, one of the two biggest refineries in the country.Goldman Sachs analysts estimate that about 300,000 barrels per day of Russian refining capacity has been offline since August due to the Ukrainian assault.Investors will also be watching the outcome of this week’s meeting of the Federal Reserve policymakers, with the U.S. central bank widely expected to deliver a 25-basis-point cut to benchmark interest rates.Lower interest rates are considered bullish for the oil markets, as a rise in spending is generally accompanied by a spike in crude consumption.Also See: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/canada-greenlights-7-3-b-lng-project-in-british-columbia-in-reversal-from-trudeau-era-policies/chwyOawRdyZ">Canada Greenlights $7.3B LNG Project In British Columbia In Reversal Of Trudeau-Era Policies</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

Retail sentiment on Stocktwits about the <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/USO">United States Oil Fund</a> (USO) was in the ‘extremely bearish’ territory at the time of writing.Over the weekend, Ukraine launched hundreds of drones at Russia, hitting the Kirishinefteorgsintez refinery, one of the two biggest refineries in the country, according to a Reuters News report.The refinery processes 17.7 million metric tons per year, or 355,000 barrels per day, of Russian crude, which is equivalent to 6.4% of the country’s total output, the report added. While Ukraine claimed the attack was largely successful, the Russians did not disclose whether it had caused any damage to the facility.The Ukrainian assault followed a strike at Russia’s largest oil exporting terminal, Primorsk, which ships over 1.1 million bpd of crude. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reportedly said that the attack had caused ‘significant damage.’This comes at a time when the U.S. is mulling a fresh round of sanctions on the buyers of Russian oil. On Sunday, Trump once again said he is willing to take stricter measures, only if European allies agree to match them and stop their purchases of Russian energy.“As restrictions on the Russians have had a limited impact, tariffs on the buyers of the oil are a possibility, but as long as the barrels keep flowing, the balance in the wider market won’t be affected,” analyst Tim Evans said.Investors will also be watching the outcome of this week’s meeting of the Federal Reserve policymakers, with the U.S. central bank widely expected to deliver a 25-basis-point cut to benchmark interest rates.Also See: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/cryptocurrency/ethereum-xrp-slip-bitcoin-advances-as-institutions-shore-up-reserves-ahead-of-anticipated-fed-rate-cut/chwwcteRdx8">Ethereum, XRP Slip; Bitcoin Advances As Institutions Shore Up Reserves Ahead Of Anticipated Fed Rate Cut</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

Oil Prices Gain Ahead of Fed Meeting, As Ukraine Steps Up Attacks On Russian Refinery

Oil prices slipped on Friday as risks of oversupply and tepid demand in the U.S. continued to rise, offsetting geopolitical concerns.Benchmark Brent crude prices edged lower 0.2% to $66.17 per barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate prices fell 0.5% to $62.06 per barrel at 4.06 a.m. ET. Retail sentiment on Stocktwits about the <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/USO">United States Oil Fund</a> (USO) was in the ‘bullish’ territory at the time of writing.A report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics showed that consumer inflation rose by the most in seven months, and first-time applications for unemployment benefits spiked last week. The figures raised concerns around crude demand in the world’s top oil consumer. U.S. Energy Information Administration data showed that crude stockpiles in the U.S. went up last week by 3.9 million barrels to 424.6 million barrels.Traders were spooked further after the International Energy Agency's data showed that the world's oil supply would rise more rapidly than expected this year, as OPEC+ plans to bolster output. The producer group, led by Saudi Arabia, said on Sunday that it will raise October output by 137,000 barrels per day. OPEC+ has already brought back 2.2 million barrels per day of production as Riyadh seeks to regain market share."The (U.S.) inflation battle doesn't quite look won, which dampens the demand outlook for oil from the world's largest economy," said Priyanka Sachdeva, senior market analyst at brokerage Phillip Nova, according to a Reuters report.However, oil prices could get a lift as Ukraine stepped up attacks on Russian energy infrastructure, once again. According to a Bloomberg News report, Ukrainian drones attacked Primorsk, Russia’s primary oil-loading terminal on the Baltic coast. Last month, the port terminal reportedly loaded about 330,000 bpd of diesel-type fuel.Also See: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/boeing-ceo-says-mountain-of-work-remains-on-certifying-777x-planes/chw8jgoRdwp">Boeing CEO Says ‘Mountain Of Work’ Remains On Certifying 777x Planes — Retail Sees Buying Opportunity After Stock Slide</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.
