The Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLE#NASDAQ">XLE</a>) is trading lower by 6.91% to $76.67 during Thursday&#8217;s session, as investors stepped back from Wednesday's risk-on rally and locked in profits, even as new inflation data came in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s/25/04/44733390/march-inflation-rate-cools-far-more-than-expected-raises-hopes-for-near-term-fed-rate-cuts">cooler than expected</a>.
What To Know: After surging around 10% following President Donald Trump's surprise 90-day pause on additional tariffs for non-retaliating countries, XLE fell around 5.9% Thursday morning, mirroring a broader market cooldown.
XLE is a sector-focused exchange-traded fund that tracks the performance of U.S. energy companies within the S&amp;P 500. Its top holdings include Exxon Mobil Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>), Chevron Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVX#NYSE">CVX</a>), Schlumberger NV (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SLB#NYSE">SLB</a>), ConocoPhillips (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COP#NYSE">COP</a>) and Occidental Petroleum Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OXY#NYSE">OXY</a>)—firms highly sensitive to commodity pricing, global demand expectations and geopolitical developments.

What Else: Despite the pullback, Thursday's macroeconomic backdrop was supportive. U.S. consumer prices <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s/25/04/44733390/march-inflation-rate-cools-far-more-than-expected-raises-hopes-for-near-term-fed-rate-cuts">unexpectedly declined in March</a>, with headline inflation falling to 2.4% year-over-year and core inflation easing to 2.8%, both below forecasts. 
The CPI even contracted 0.1% month-over-month, the lowest reading since May 2020, suggesting that tariff-related price pressures may be easing rather than accelerating.
However, energy markets faced mixed signals. A sharp 6.3% drop in gasoline prices weighed on the sector outlook, despite increased investor confidence in global trade stability following the tariff reprieve.
XLE's pullback Thursday also likely reflects a combination of profit taking and caution in a sector still tethered to volatile global dynamics, including Chinese demand, OPEC policy and currency fluctuations.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, XLE has a 52-week high of $98.97 and a 52-week low of $74.49.

Dividend investing is back on investors' radar after taking a backseat during the AI-led bull run. With tariff uncertainties and fading momentum in AI stocks, investors are looking for stable dividend-paying companies to navigate the current market turbulence. But it's not easy to find quality dividend stocks as it requires assessing factors like yield, payout ratio, financial stability, and growth potential.&nbsp;
Let's turn to a dividend investing case study for ideas and inspiration.

Last month, someone asked income investors on r/Dividends — a Reddit community with 690,000 members — whether it was realistic to live off dividends and how much investment is needed to reach at least $50,000 in annual dividend income. The question also asked Redditors to share how long it takes for the average investor to reach a dividend income that covers basic expenses.
The question received hundreds of comments, but one story caught our eye.
An investor said he was making $175,000 a year in dividends and retired two years ago at the age of 48.
"I'm still not touching them, especially now. I have a small passive business that generates enough to cover my expenses. I've recently gone about 1/3 short term government bonds because I'm VERY worried about a recession," he said.

Still, this approach can also be risky for some if they pick the wrong stocks. One military veteran and Reddit user recently shared his investing journey that started with him making costly mistakes to now earning him $10,000 in dividends per year.
With 13 years of investing experience, the poster, an enlisted service member, had to learn what works through trial and error. He says he tried to be smarter than the market early on, leading to him selling big winners too soon and holding onto losers for too long.
&#8220;I bought [General Electric] in my Roth at what I thought was a great price point of $14.50 or something. Had to [dollar-cost average] over several years to bring the cost basis down and missed out on having that money in better spots in the biggest bull market year I have been a part of,&#8221; he shared.
The 36-year-old mentioned that he&#8217;s gradually shifted his strategy to dividend shares now and his $296,570 portfolio already generates over $10,000 annually in dividends. Let&#8217;s see what dividend shares and ETFs the investor holds.

From Rookie Mistakes To $10K/Year In Dividends – Military Veteran Who 'Made A Few Great Plays' Shares His 10 Biggest Bets

Crude prices surged and energy stocks rose Monday after President Donald Trump vowed to slap a sweeping 25% tariff on any country that imports Venezuelan oil, signaling renewed geopolitical tensions <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/oil">in global energy markets.</a>
West Texas Intermediate light crude, as closely tracked by the United States Oil Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USO#NYSE">USO</a>), rose over 1% to $69 per barrel, touching a three-week high.
"Any country that purchases Oil and/or Gas from Venezuela will be forced to pay a Tariff of 25% to the United States on any Trade they do with our Country," Trump said, adding that enforcement would begin next month and be "registered and documented."
The statement came via a <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114217914259825110">post </a>on Truth Social, where the former president accused Venezuela of sending violent criminals to the United States and branded the Tren de Aragua gang as a &#8220;Foreign Terrorist Organization.&#8221;
Trump added that the proposed secondary tariffs would go into effect on April 2, what he called "Liberation Day in America."

Venezuela's oil exports have risen in recent years, and they remain a crucial revenue source for the embattled regime of Nicolás Maduro. 
According to Reuters, Venezuela exported 772,000 barrels a day of crude last year, marking a 10% increase from a year earlier. China is widely considered the largest purchaser of Venezuelan crude, though much of the oil arrives through indirect routes or intermediaries that obscure its origin to sidestep international sanctions.
Beyond geopolitics, U.S. economic data on Monday gave oil another push. Business activity surveys in March came in stronger than expected, easing recession fears but raising concerns that input costs may be accelerating again.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">US Energy Stock Reactions</h3>
The oil rally ignited gains across the energy sector. Exxon Mobil Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>) rose 1.1% to $116.75 by 11:15 a.m. in New York, reaching its highest level price since early December. Chevron Corp.

The Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLE#NYSE">XLE</a>) climbed 0.6%, extending its year-to-date gain to 7.8%—the best performance among all S&amp;P 500 sectors in 2025.

Applovin, Super Micro Computer And Intel Among Top 10 Large-Cap Gainers Last Week (Mar 10-Mar 14): Are The Others In Your Portfolio?

Harold Hamm, oil magnate and founder of Continental Resources, issued a stark warning: if oil prices remain at current levels, drilling in key U.S. shale fields could <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44168987/oil-prices-hit-multi-year-lows">come to a standstill. </a>
The Details: Speaking at CERAWeek in Houston, Hamm emphasized that with oil prices hovering near $65 per barrel, many fields are already struggling to remain viable.&nbsp;
"When you get below the cost of supply, you can't ‘drill, baby, drill,'" he told Bloomberg, per OilPrice.com.

While industry leaders have applauded the rollback of Biden-era climate regulations, Trump's trade policies—particularly his tariff disputes with Canada—are creating uncertainty and further pressuring crude oil prices. Trump has described the lower prices as "phenomenal news," but many in the oil sector are expressing concern.&nbsp;
"There are a lot of fields that are getting to the point that's real tough to keep that cost of supply down," Hamm told Bloomberg Television.&nbsp;
"When you get down to that $50 oil that you talked about, then you're below the point where you're going to ‘drill, baby, drill.'"
ConocoPhillips (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COP#NYSE">COP</a>) CEO Ryan Lance also highlighted inflationary pressures and investor anxiety over Trump's unpredictable trade policies affecting the industry.&nbsp;
Scott Sheffield, former CEO of Pioneer Natural Resources, told Bloomberg Television that the price publicly traded oil drillers need to cover costs and turn a profit is between $50 and $55 a barrel. 
The oil industry could be at a turning point as low oil prices benefit consumers but pose significant challenges for producers. 
The United States Oil Fund LP (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USO#NYSE">USO</a>) ETF, tracking the daily price movements of light, sweet crude oil, is down more than 4% in 2025.

<h2>What Are Analyst Ratings?</h2>
Analysts are specialists within banking and financial systems that typically report for specific stocks or within defined sectors. These people research company financial statements, sit in conference calls and meetings, and speak with relevant insiders to determine what are known as analyst ratings for stocks. Typically, analysts will rate each stock once a quarter. 
Some analysts publish their predictions for metrics such as growth estimates, earnings, and revenue to provide additional guidance with their ratings. When using analyst ratings, it is important to keep in mind that stock and sector analysts are also human and are only offering their opinions to investors.
