In Part I of my Top Picks For 2024, I explained why we saw such extreme valuation losses in most equity CEFs in 2023 and what that could-mean for 2024. In my opinion, liquidity was the over-riding factor for why so few stocks, think Magnificent 7, received the lion's share of buy-interest while most everything else suffered, including equity CEFs. But just because the Federal Reserve will continue its Quantitative Tapering doesn't mean that other Fed programs won't increase liquidity in other places.

Here's our daily look at three charts tied to recent news-driven price moves, with key technical levels to watch.

3 Charts For Investors to Watch Thursday: Meta Platforms, SoFi Technologies, XLE ETF

Marathon Oil

Occidental Petroleum

Shares of oil and gas companies were broadly, but lightly, lower in premarket trading Thursday, as crude oil prices fell for a second straight session amid easing Red Sea tensions. The Energy Select Sector SPDR ETF XLE, -0.44% shed 0.4% ahead of the open, as crude oil futures CL.1, -1.31% CL00, -1.32% slid 1.4%, after dropping 1.5% on Wednesday.

Oil and gas stocks sees broad weakness as crude prices fall again

Williams Companies WMB, -0.06% announced Wednesday an agreement to buy a portfolio of natural gas storage assets for $1.95 billion from an affiliate of Hartree Partners L.P. The deal includes six underground storage facilities in Louisiana and Mississippi and 230 miles of gas transmission pipeline.

Short-term market for the Energy Select Sector SPDR® Fund ETF is flat-to-bearish, with Brent futures remaining in backwardation. Domestic production is at all-time highs, but global demand is showing signs of a downturn, particularly in the European Bloc. Long-term outlook for the O&G supercycle remains positive, with expectations of increased demand and a supply deficit by 2030.

XLE: Short-Term Bear, Long-Term Bull

An historic decision at COP28. Is green energy truly less expensive than fossil fuels? - Louis Navellier's short-term forecast for oil. 5 wildcards that could send prices higher.

Are Oil and Gas Stocks in Trouble?

Full allocation to the energy sector using XOP and XLE is recommended. We are forecasting a gain of 40% to 50% for XOP, and similar gains for XLE, over the next nine months. Large amounts of "put buying" in energy stocks, plus other indicators of bearish investor expectations, suggest oil stocks are finally ready to break out with a large price increase.

Midstream ETFs have generated attractive returns for investors but remain a compelling investment opportunity in the current environment. Midstream has been the top-performing segment in the energy sector year to date, strengthened by its defensive qualities, M&A activity, and positive dividend announcements.

Even With Strong Returns, Midstream Valuations Are Attractive

Energy stocks, including the Energy Select Sector SPDR® Fund ETF, have been weak recently and are likely to remain so. The XLE ETF is not a diversified fund and is heavily reliant on energy prices, which are currently weak. The two largest holdings in XLE, Exxon Mobil and Chevron, are not cheap enough to warrant investment in the fund.

The price of WTI and Brent crude fell despite another production cut from OPEC. The cut was expected and helps keep the oil market in a tight balance, so this looks like a buy-the-rumor-sell-the-news event.

Energy traders sell the OPEC news; a rebound is coming

Instead of investing in a broad sector ETF, investors may be able to enhance portfolio returns by being more selective with their energy exposure. MLPs have handily outpaced other energy subsectors in 2023 to date, strengthened by midstream's defensive qualities, M&A activity, and positive dividend announcements.
