The Invesco Energy Exploration & Production ETF (PXE), labeled as an E&P fund, is currently heavily weighted toward U.S. petroleum refiners. PXE is well-positioned to benefit from ongoing global refined product shortages driven by Middle East and Russian conflicts. Refining holdings like VLO, MPC, PSX, CVR, and PBF have delivered significant outperformance, fueling PXE's recent gains.

The energy sector has become a leader after being a laggard over the past two years.

The Invesco Energy Exploration & Production ETF is a hold due to mixed factors impacting the oil and gas industry. PXE has underperformed compared to its peers over the past decade, but has outperformed the overall market in the past year. While oil and gas will remain dominant in the short term, renewable energy sources will eventually overtake them in the long term.

Oil prices surged recently to their highest levels since October as investors closely monitored escalating geopolitical tensions in key regions. The improved demand outlook is another reason for which oil prices can go higher.
