Should You Invest in the Energy Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLE)?

ETFs Set to Benefit From JPMorgan's $1.5T U.S. Security Push

JPMorgan launches $1.5T decade-long initiative to boost U.S. security, energy and tech ahead of Q3 earnings report.

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.

Equity

Occidental Petroleum Corp. (OXY) stock climbed over 1% in Tuesday’s after-hours session, as traders reacted to reports that the oil and gas exploration and production company was in talks to sell its petrochemical business, OxyChem, to Warren Buffett-led Berkshire Hathaway, Inc. (BRKA) (BRKB).<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/OXY">Occidental Petroleum’s stock</a>, which had fallen sharply in the mid-session, cut its losses amid the broader market recovery and the deal speculation.&nbsp;It ended the session 1.77% lower.

It raked in sales of $5 billion for the 12 months ended June,&nbsp;according to the Journal’s report.If the talks bear fruit,&nbsp;the OxyChem deal would be Berkshire Hathaway’s second-largest in the chemicals sector, after the latter’s 2011 acquisition of Lubrizol. It would also mark the Buffett-led company’s biggest deal since 2022, when it announced a $11.6 billion deal to buy insurer Alleghany.Berkshire Hathaway holds a substantial stake (27% of the outstanding shares) in Occidental Petroleum, acquired over time.

ExxonMobil (XOM) CEO Darren Woods reportedly met with Mozambique President Daniel Chapo on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly to seek security assurances for a proposed $30 billion gas terminal in the African nation.According to a Financial Times <a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.ft.com/content/e75c579b-7d3c-4128-b584-2adb4e4c22eb">report,</a> Woods spoke with Chapo about an armed insurgency in Mozambique’s north-eastern Cabo Delgado region, where Exxon is planning to build the largest liquefied natural gas facility in Africa.The oil major and its Italian partner, Eni, are jointly developing the Rovuma LNG project, with Exxon leading the construction and operation of the onshore liquefaction facilities and related infrastructure.However, in 2021, an attack by Islamic State-linked militants at a nearby town forced Exxon to delay taking a final investment decision on the giant project. France’s TotalEnergies, which operates the Area 1 Mozambique LNG plant, declared force majeure following the attacks. Exxon also took a hit as it was jointly developing common facilities with the Paris-based firm, such as an LNG jetty and offloading facility.Woods and Chapo also reportedly discussed plans by TotalEnergies to resume work on the Area 1 LNG plant. Total is reportedly looking to restart the project as the energy firm sees improvement in the security situation in the region. Last year, Exxon delayed its final investment decision on the Rovuma LNG project from late 2025 to 2026.“We strongly believe that the ExxonMobil project, if implemented, will make a huge difference in the economy of Mozambique and, as a consequence, in the life of Mozambicans,” Chapo told FT.Retail sentiment on Stocktwits about <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/XOM">Exxon stock</a> was in the ‘bullish’ territory at the time of writing.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:793/99;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Xom_sept_29_JPG_5545833569.webp" alt="XOM’s Sentiment Meter and Message Volume as of 01:07 a.m. ET on Sept. 30, 2025 | Source: Stocktwits" width="793" height="99"><figcaption>XOM’s Sentiment Meter and Message Volume as of 01:07 a.m. ET on Sept. 30, 2025 | Source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>Mozambique currently holds one of the world's largest natural gas deposits.

The FT report stated that forces from Mozambique and Rwanda have sought to bolster security near the Afungi Peninsula, where the projects are located. However, there has been an increase in violence across the vast Cabo Delgado region.Exxon stock has gained 5.5% this year.Also See: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/boeing-stock-in-focus-on-plans-for-737-max-successor-to-beat-airbus/chDwwgRR3JM">Boeing Stock In Focus On Plans For 737 Max Successor To Beat Airbus</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

ConocoPhillips (COP) Chief Executive Ryan Lance reportedly told employees&nbsp;on Thursday that the decision to lay off as much as 25% of the workforce stemmed in part from the company losing competitiveness as it focused on acquiring smaller rivals.<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/COP">ConocoPhillips’ stock</a> fell more than 3.5% in Friday afternoon trading, extending its weekly decline to about 6.7% on the layoff&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/conoco-phillips-to-lay-off-up-to-25-precent-of-its-workforce/chwcTx7Rdob">announcement</a>. However, retail sentiment on Stocktwits around the oil and gas producer moved higher within the ‘bullish’ zone over the past week."The cost and the whole competitiveness of the company probably took a backseat to those initiatives and those things we were doing for very real reasons, important reasons for the company," Lance said in a recording of the town hall,&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.reuters.com/business/world-at-work/i-fault-myself-not-paying-more-attention-conoco-ceo-tells-employees-facing-deep-2025-09-05/">cited</a> by Reuters. The report stated that the town hall meeting took place a day after the company announced the layoffs, which are part of a broader restructuring aimed at reducing costs.&nbsp;"I fault myself for not paying attention and keeping the other things sort of centered and important," added Lance. "We probably backslid a little bit in the cost effort... maybe we should have been smarter about how we did it."&nbsp;Last year, the company bought Marathon Oil for $22.5 billion. In 2021, ConocoPhillips acquired Concho Resources for $9.7 billion and bought Permian assets from oil major Shell (SHEL) for $9.5 billion.&nbsp;The energy industry has undergone the largest consolidation in a generation over the past two years, according&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.ey.com/en_us/newsroom/2025/08/consolidation-reshapes-the-us-oil-and-gas-industry">to</a> EY.

Exxon Mobil (XOM) is reportedly looking to sell its European chemical plants as the sector is grappling with higher U.S. tariffs and intense competition from producers in China.According to a report by the Financial Times, Exxon has held early-stage discussions with advisers in recent weeks on possible sales, which could fetch up to $1 billion.The supermajor is specifically weighing the sale of its plants in the UK and Belgium, the report stated. The company owns an ethylene plant in the Scottish town of Fife, alongside multiple production sites in Belgium. The company had also discussed just shutting them down.However, the report mentioned that there was no guarantee a deal would materialize and Exxon could choose to retain the facilities. If the Houston-based company goes through with the sale, it will join another U.S. firm, LyondellBasell, which has decided to offload four struggling production facilities on the continent.Retail sentiment on Stocktwits about <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/XOM">Exxon</a> was in the ‘neutral’ territory at the time of writing.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:797/96;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/XOM_Sept_4_JPG_4ef01009c1.webp" alt="XOM’s Sentiment Meter and Message Volume as of 02:28 a.m. ET on Sept. 4, 2025 | Source: Stocktwits" width="797" height="96"><figcaption>XOM’s Sentiment Meter and Message Volume as of 02:28 a.m. ET on Sept. 4, 2025 | Source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>For years, chemical producers have struggled to cope with rising energy and feedstock costs alongside intense competition from Chinese producers. In the first quarter, Europe’s chemical capacity utilization stood at 74%, significantly below the EU’s long-term average. Chemicals production in the 27-nation block has trailed behind the U.S. for the last three years.While major EU economies are still struggling to gather momentum, U.S. President Donald Trump’s 15% tariffs have further made EU exports uncompetitive across the Atlantic.Exxon, which has frequently criticized Brussels for its policies, had said in May that it was in exclusive talks to sell its controlling stake in French fuel unit Esso SAF, as well as its wholly owned chemical business in the country to North Atlantic France SAS, a unit of Canadian fuel retailer North Atlantic.Exxon shares have gained 3.4% this year.Also See: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/trump-s-white-house-backs-off-from-wto-funding-cuts-after-criticism/chw5uvHRdoF">Trump’s White House Backs Off From WTO Funding Cuts After Criticism</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

Exxon Weighs Sale Of European Chemical Units Worth Up To $1B Amid Tariffs, China Pressure: Report

Plants in Fife and Belgium could be on the block, but the outcome remains uncertain, according to the FT.

Oil prices slipped in Asia trading hours on Monday after OPEC+ once again decided to significantly raise output amid concerns over the health of the U.S. economy, the top oil consumer.Brent crude prices slipped 0.5% at $69.33 per barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude prices fell 0.5% at $67 per barrel. However, retail sentiment on Stocktwits about the United States Oil Fund (USO) was still in the ‘bullish’ territory at the time of writing.The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and its allies, including Russia, said on Sunday that they would increase September production by 547,000 barrels per day (bpd) compared to August, the latest in a series of output hikes as they attempt to regain market share. The group noted that the decision was taken due to a steady “global economic outlook and current healthy market fundamentals.”While summer demand has remained strong in the Western Hemisphere, analysts predict that oil supply will outpace demand by year-end. Both future contracts had fallen by over $2 on Friday, after the soft U.S. jobs data had signaled raised concerns over oil consumption in the world’s largest economy.According to a Reuters <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/oil-slips-opec-proceeds-with-september-output-hike-2025-08-03/">report</a>, Goldman Sachs analysts noted that the actual supply boost from the eight OPEC+ countries stands at about 1.7 million bpd, or about two-thirds of announced capacity, as other group members have looked to cut capacity to compensate for overproducing earlier."While OPEC+ policy remains flexible and the geopolitical outlook uncertain, we assume that OPEC+ keeps required production unchanged after September," the analysts reportedly said in the note before adding that the rise in non-OPEC production will likely not leave much scope for extra OPEC+ barrels.However, potential penalties on the buyers of Russian crude could still crimp supplies and provide a boost to oil prices. According to reports, Indian officials have not instructed refiners to stop buying Russian oil despite threats by U.S. President Donald Trump to impose additional 100% levies.Also See: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/asian-economies-brace-for-export-hit-as-us-tariff-effects-begin-to-bite/chrX2aoRdR9">Asian Economies Brace For Export Hit As US Tariff Effects Begin To Bite</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.
