Drilling Like it’s $40 Oil
You know oil prices are high when the President of the United States releases reserves from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (“SPR”) twice in less than a year. President Biden announced the first release of 50 million barrels (“Mbbl”) on November 23, 2021 and again in March of this year for another 1 million barrels a day over 6 months totaling another 180 million barrels – the largest release ever.

Is Oil Re-Energized?
The energy sector has been the best performing sector both on a one year and year-to-date timeframe as the price of oil rebounded at a record pace since the COVID-19 lows. In addition, the rotation into value given reflation of the yield curve has been a tailwind for energy equities.
Le secteur de l’énergie est celui qui enregistre les meilleurs rendements, aussi bien sur un an qu’en cumul depuis le début de l’année, et pour cause : les cours pétroliers sont remontés à une vitesse sans précédent par rapport à leurs creux provoqués par la COVID-19. De plus, le virage vers les titres axés sur la valeur, attribuable à la reflation sur la courbe des taux, contribue à la vigueur des actions du secteur énergétique.
