Reuters said the energy sector was at a record high in its Friday afternoon file, up 2.4% at that time. That is a sector index inside an open session, not a statement about any single fund’s net asset value.
Because a fund that holds the index and a fund that holds an equal number of each stock can diverge when a few large names offset a larger number of decliners. Friday afternoon’s 1.97-to-1 decline/advance ratio is the evidence for that gap. It can change by the close.
Not by a rule. It can raise the earnings of producers and the costs of everyone else. Reuters also quoted a University of Michigan director saying higher prices linked to the Middle East were weighing on households. Those are opposite sides of one move.
