Energy stocks are leading the market in 2025, with the S&P 500 Energy Sector (XLE) rising 2.8% as oil and natural gas prices increase. Analysts note a significant shift from 2024, where energy was one of the worst-performing sectors, with independent natural gas producers like Antero Resources and EQT Corp. showing strong gains. The demand for natural gas is expected to grow further due to colder weather and increased exports, despite some concerns over oil supply affecting crude prices. Overall, the early market dynamics suggest a robust outlook for the energy sector.
