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.

Shares of energy companies are trading lower as stocks pull back after surging Wednesday following President Trump's tariff pause announcement.

Occidental Petroleum (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OXY#NYSE">OXY</a>) announced on Wednesday that it realized higher oil and gas production prices in the first quarter of 2025 than <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/oil">in the previous quarter</a>.
The company <a href="https://occidentalpetroleum.gcs-web.com/static-files/f2dd6055-d76f-4c4f-bfa9-587e784a7c95">reported</a> that its worldwide average realized oil price rose to $71.07 per barrel, up from $69.73 in the final quarter of 2024. Natural gas prices also significantly increased, averaging $2.30 per thousand cubic feet, compared to $1.26 previously.
The average realized price for natural gas liquids climbed approximately 19%, rising from $21.80 to $25.94 per barrel.

Last week, Exxon Mobil (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>) projected modest first-quarter <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/guidance/25/04/44644170/exxon-mobil-projects-sequential-earnings-bump-on-energy-price-swings-ahead-of-q1-report" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">earnings growth</a>, driven by shifts in energy prices and industry margins. The company expects oil and gas price changes to increase Upstream earnings by up to $400 million, while improved industry margins could contribute an additional $300 million to $700 million to Energy Products. Timing effects are also anticipated to add up to $0.5 billion each to Upstream and Energy Products.
On Wednesday, President Donald Trump announced a 90-day suspension of tariffs for non-retaliating countries. This sparked a broad market rally, boosted oil and gas stocks, and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/04/44724489/oil-gas-stocks-jump-after-trump-pauses-tariffs-for-u-s-allies-isolates-china" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">lifted</a> the outlook for crude demand. 
According <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/10/china-trump-tariffs-live-updates.html">to</a> CNBC, the Trump administration imposed a steep 145% tariff on Chinese imports on Thursday, straining an already contentious relationship between Washington, D.C. and Beijing. 
WTI crude fell to $60 per barrel last week—its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44667862/oil-crashes-to-60-per-barrel-as-recession-fears-grow" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">lowest</a> price since April 2021. Goldman Sachs raised U.S. recession odds to 45%. Meanwhile, OPEC+ unexpectedly hiked output, adding pressure and fueling industry criticism of the unpredictable trade policy.
Price Action: OXY shares were trading lower by 8.35% at $36.87 at the last check Thursday.

Occidental Reports Higher Q1 Prices As Tariff Tensions Shake Oil Market

Oil and gas stocks such as APA Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APA#NASDAQ">APA</a>), BP PLC (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BP#NYSE">BP</a>) and Exxon Mobil Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>) are trading higher Wednesday after President Donald Trump announced a 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs for countries that have not retaliated against <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44720006/markets-take-off-as-trump-announces-90-day-tariff-pause-for-non-retaliating-nations-slaps-china-with-125-duty">U.S. trade measures. </a>
What To Know: The move triggered a broad rally across energy names, driven by expectations that easing trade tensions would boost global demand and reduce export-related risks for U.S. producers. Several oil companies that have significant exposure to global oil markets have been under pressure due to fears of disrupted supply chains and reduced overseas demand. Trump&#8217;s decision to isolate China while granting tariff relief to U.S. allies shifted sentiment sharply.
The tariff pause was seen as a positive for crude demand outlook, as reduced trade friction could support broader economic activity. Energy stocks, which had lagged the broader market in recent weeks, responded to the shift in policy with a surge in buying volume, reversing recent weakness.
The focus now turns to how China will respond to the sharp 125% hike on its exports and whether energy markets will see any retaliatory impact. For now, the policy pivot has restored confidence across the oil and gas space.
Price Action: APA Corporation shares closed Wednesday up 19.10% to $16.71, Exxon Mobil shares rose 4.99% to $105.80 and BP advanced 6.81% to $27.90, according to Benzinga Pro.

Shares of oil and gas companies are trading higher following President Trump's decision to implement a 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs for all countries except China.

Despite President Donald Trump&#8216;s tariffs sending shockwaves through the stock market, one analyst believes the domestic automotive industry in the U.S. is poised for a surprising boost. Here is a list of potential beneficiaries and losers of the new trade policy. 
What Happened: While the tariffs of U.S. trading partners have had a damaging effect on the stock market, they have also fueled the fear of a slowdown in the economy and a possible recession.
According to John Murillo, the chief dealing officer at a global fintech solutions provider for financial institutions, B2BROKER, Trump's tariffs preemptively target metals, cars, and high-tech imports into the U.S., which seemingly spells trouble, &#8220;specifically for these sectors.&#8221;
However, he goes on to add that the &#8220;devil is always hiding in the details,&#8221; and sees the protectionist measures as a silver lining for the American automotive sector, predicting increased demand due to reduced foreign competition.
&#8220;Since tariffs are imposed on foreign cars competing with U.S. cars for consumer preferences, it will be precisely the American automotive industry that reaps the fruit of this protectionism,&#8221; Murillo told Benzinga.
Murillo states that despite the initial negative reaction following a cut in dividends by the Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) executives, &#8220;Ford and General Motors Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) will see higher demand on their production over time, which will offset all current inconveniences with reorientation for alternative foreign supply parts producers.&#8221;
&#8220;We must also not forget Donald Trump&#8216;s bet on the American oil industry,&#8221; adds Murillo, stating that he will &#8220;zealously protect American businesses, and we know that conventional energy is the subject of his special focus.&#8221; 
&#8220;He is expected to fight with big oil companies worldwide in every possible way, and this is very positive news for the U.S. oil stocks despite the current softness of oil prices,&#8221; which will especially benefit classic oil producers like Exxon Mobil Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>) and Chevron Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVX#NYSE">CVX</a>), according to Murillo.

Why It Matters: Tariffs are considered protectionist policies as they are taxes that a government levies on imported goods. The primary objective of tariffs is to protect domestic industries that produce the same or similar goods.
However, they could lead to an increase in the prices of goods as the cost of producing the goods domestically increases.
Murillo also highlights the companies that will lose out because of these policies in the long run.
&#8220;The most evident losers will be retail stocks, such as Costco Wholesale Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COST#NASDAQ">COST</a>) and Walmart Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>), which traditionally formed most of their margins by arbitraging Chinese wholesale versus U.S. domestic retail prices.&#8221;
&#8220;PC, server, and phone equipment manufacturers like HP Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HPQ#NYSE">HPQ</a>), Cisco Systems Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSCO#NASDAQ">CSCO</a>), and Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) will also feel the heat because many essential parts have been delivered from China for decades,&#8221; he adds.

Behind the Scenes of Exxon Mobil's Latest Options Trends

Last week, the price of WTI crude oil recorded its largest weekly loss in two years after President Donald Trump announced a tougher-than-anticipated set of tariffs, prompting swift retaliation from China, the world's<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44663034/asia-in-freefall-hang-seng-posts-worst-drop-since-1997-europe-market-tumbles-oil-slips-gold-eases-global-markets-today-while-us-slept"> largest importer of oil.&nbsp;</a>
WTI futures fell further on Monday to just above $60 per barrel, the lowest level since April 2021, as concerns that the escalating trade war could slow the global economy and weaken energy demand.
Economists at Goldman Sachs published a note on Sunday night raising their recession <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44665493/us-recession-countdown-has-begun-as-trump-tariffs-push-odds-to-45-goldman-sachs-warns">probability forecast </a>from 35% to 45%, citing the sharp tightening of financial conditions and a spike in policy uncertainty.

Energy analysts at Goldman Sachs followed by further reducing their year-end oil forecasts to $62 per barrel for Brent and $58 for WTI, with additional downside expected in 2026. The analysts noted recent GDP downgrades and forecasts of a "stagnating" U.S. economy.&nbsp;
Adding to the pressure on oil prices, last week, eight OPEC+ oil producers announced nearly triple the expected production increase to 411,000 barrels per day versus the anticipated increase of just under 140,000 barrels per day next month. 
At $60 per barrel for WTI crude, prices have fallen below the $65 threshold identified by the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas as the break-even point for Permian Basin operators like Chevron Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVX#NYSE">CVX</a>) and Exxon Mobil Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>). 
However, Energy Secretary Chris Wright recently said that the U.S. shale sector is capable of ramping up oil production even if prices fall to $50 per barrel.&nbsp;
In the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas' most recent quarterly survey, leaders in the oil and gas industry <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities/25/03/44522105/oil-and-gas-executives-rebuke-trumps-drill-baby-drill-agenda-we-want-more-stability">expressed frustration</a> with the Trump administration.
"The administration's chaos is a disaster for the commodity markets. ‘Drill, baby, drill' is nothing short of a myth and populist rallying cry. Tariff policy is impossible for us to predict and doesn't have a clear goal. We want more stability," one exploration and production executive said.

Oil Crashes To $60 Per Barrel As Global Recession Fears Grow

The new trade war precipitated by President <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44647999/trumps-tariff-war-could-take-us-tech-industry-back-a-decade-while-china-steam-rolls-ahead-analyst-says">Donald Trump‘s tariffs</a> has turned investors against companies heavily involved in the import-export market. Instead, companies with stable revenue, low valuations and little exposure to trade are rising.
Especially ones that offer nice dividends. Today, let&#8217;s look at a couple of examples.
Then, we will consider the three best dividend funds to capture this trend.
Consider companies like Verizon (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VZ#NYSE">VZ</a>) (6.07% dividend right now), which does not purchase or sell products in overseas markets, or tobacco giant Altria (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MO#NYSE">MO</a>) (7.25% dividend), which sells most of its products in the USA.
Past that, dividend stocks and funds have been performing well in 2025.
&#8220;Dividend-oriented strategies have performed well in the first quarter of 2025,&#8221; said William Connor, CFA, CFP, partner at Sax Wealth Advisors. &#8220;The SPDR S&amp;P Dividend ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SDY#NYSE">SDY</a>) generated a positive return during Q1 2025 of 2.71%, which compares favorably with the S&amp;P 500, which lost 4.55% in the first quarter of 2025.&#8221;
Although the S&amp;P 500 has outperformed over the last year, increasing 7.1% while the SDY was up 3.86%, dividend stocks tend to be less volatile, often due to the more defensive nature of the economic sectors in which they operate. &#8220;Ned Davis Research conducted a study of dividend-paying companies compared to non-dividend-paying companies,&#8221; Connor noted. &#8220;The results illustrated what many investors intuitively feel; dividend stocks exhibit lower volatility than non-dividend payers and a broad index like the S&amp;P 500.&#8221;
That data matters at a time when the Trump administration has sought a level playing field on tariffs, causing major upheaval in global markets.
&#8220;The impact of potential tariffs on the economy is unknowable at this point, given that the specifics have yet to be announced,&#8221; Connor said. &#8220;What is likely is the uncertainty around tariffs (amounts, sectors, and exemptions, for example) is leading many investors to be concerned about the outlook for US stocks.&#8221;
Since dividend stocks have been less volatile over time than the average stock, it&#8217;s reasonable for investors concerned with the growth outlook to focus on them. &#8220;The dividend payment provides a steady, predictable return to help manage volatility and risk,&#8221; Connor added.
Given the volatility linked to trade and tariffs, will that be the case going forward? Yes and no.
&#8220;In the short-term, tariffs are likely to be seen as a negative for dividend stocks – particularly globally-focused companies – as tariffs increase the price of imported goods or raw materials, which can impact profitability,&#8221; said Rob Edwards, managing director and senior portfolio manager at Florida-based Edwards Asset Management.
In the long run, however, Edwards believes dividend stocks should prosper, even with tariffs, as they are typically more mature companies that have proven resilient to many economic challenges.
&#8220;I believe that you should own dividend stocks to invest throughout an entire market cycle, not around it,&#8221; he noted.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Three Solid Dividend ETFs</h2>
Rather than take your chances with one or two individual dividend-paying stocks, curb some downside risk by leveraging dividend exchange-traded funds, where you can also get some bang for your buck.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">SPDR S&amp;P Dividend ETF</h3>
Like the best dividend ETFs, the SPDR S&amp;P Dividend ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SDY#NYSE">SDY</a>) is a tax-efficient, low-cost, highly liquid investment with broad exposure to high-quality stocks.
The fund aims to produce investment results corresponding to the total return performance of the S&amp;P High Yield Dividend Aristocrats Index. &#8220;The fund really focuses on S&amp;P Composite 1500 Index companies that have followed a managed-dividends policy of consistently increasing dividends every year for at least 20 consecutive years,&#8221; Connor said.
Dividend payments are about 0.80% and the fund has returned 4.76% year-to-date.
Dividend ETFs are not flashy, but they&#8217;re steady, and that&#8217;s what Steven Kibbel, a financial planner and chief editorial advisor at Gold IRA Companies in Franklin, Tenn. &#8220;Many people, especially retirees I work with, like them because they give regular income without needing to sell shares. That matters when you&#8217;re trying to make your savings last. These funds mostly hold big companies that keep paying dividends no matter what&#8217;s going on in the market. Think utilities, healthcare, and food companies. That kind of thing.&#8221;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF</h3>
One dividend fund Kibbel favors holds those same traits &#8211; Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SCHD#NYSE">SCHD</a>).
&#8220;It&#8217;s simple, low-cost, and holds strong companies with solid financials,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I&#8217;ve used it for years with clients who want income and stability. Another one I use is iShares Select Dividend (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DVY#NASDAQ">DVY</a>). That one focuses more on higher yields. It&#8217;s not always the right fit for everyone, but it works well if income is the top goal.&#8221;
SCHD currently offers a healthy 3.85% dividend; its year-to-date returns are 2.93% compared to 4.49% for its category.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading"> iShares Core High Dividend ETF</h3>
iShares Core High Dividend ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HDV#NYSE">HDV</a>) is another popular pick among money managers.
The fund holds 75 high-dividend-paying stocks and is energy-heavy, with Exxon (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>) and Chevron (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVX#NYSE">CVX</a>) comprising two of the top three fund holdings. Johnson &amp; Johnson (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JNJ#NYSE">JNJ</a>) also joins the group. 
Big-cap brand names are the fund&#8217;s bread and butter, although no one stock tops 9.3% of its holdings (that would be Exxon). The fund is up 7.75% and has generally landed in the 10% annual return range since it launched in 2011. HDV also offers a robust 3.41% dividend yield with an ultra-low 0.8% expense ratio.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What To Look For With Dividend ETFs</h2>
Before you get rolling on dividend funds and kick some tires, have a game plan to leverage that matches you up with the right fund.
&#8220;You want an ETF that holds reliable stocks with a history of raising dividends annually, and that offers a true hedge against inflation,&#8221; said Ketti Rose, the CEO and founder of Wealthy Femme, a money management platform geared toward women investors. &#8220;Also, ensure the expense ratio is low – the less, the better, as there&#8217;s no need to sacrifice returns for fees.&#8221;
Additionally, seek out ETFs that maintained steady — or even increased — dividends through past recessions (e.g., in 2008 or 2020). &#8220;That&#8217;s a strength you can depend on,&#8221; Rose noted.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Predictable Trading In Unpredictable Times</h2>

Exxon Mobil Earnings Are Imminent; These Most Accurate Analysts Revise Forecasts Ahead Of Earnings Call

Exxon Mobil Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>) will release its first-quarter financial results after the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/XOM/earnings">closing bell on Thursday, April 3</a>.
Analysts expect the company to report quarterly earnings at $1.70 per share, down from $2.06 per share in the year-ago period. Exxon Mobil projects quarterly revenue of $86.09 billion, compared to $83.08 billion a year earlier, according to data from <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.
On Wednesday, Exxon Mobil disclosed that Karen T. McKee, president of ExxonMobil Product Solutions Company and vice president of Exxon Mobil Corporation, will retire effective May 1. The company's board named Matt Crocker president of ExxonMobil Product Solutions Company and vice president of Exxon Mobil Corporation.
With the recent buzz around Exxon Mobil, some investors may be eyeing potential gains from the company's dividends, too. As of now, Exxon Mobil offers an annual dividend yield of 3.34%, which is a quarterly dividend amount of 99 cents per share ($3.96 a year).
To figure out how to earn $500 monthly from Exxon Mobil, we start with the yearly target of $6,000 ($500 x 12 months).
Next, we take this amount and divide it by Exxon Mobil's $3.96 dividend: $6,000 / $3.96 = 1,515 shares.
So, an investor would need to own approximately $179,785 worth of Exxon Mobil, or 1,515 shares to generate a monthly dividend income of $500.
Assuming a more conservative goal of $100 monthly ($1,200 annually), we do the same calculation: $1,200 / $3.96 = 303 shares, or $35,957 to generate a monthly dividend income of $100.
Note that dividend yield can change on a rolling basis, as the dividend payment and the stock price fluctuate over time.
The dividend yield is calculated by dividing the annual dividend payment by the current stock price. As the stock price changes, the dividend yield will also change.
For example, if a stock pays an annual dividend of $2 and its current price is $50, its dividend yield would be 4%. However, if the stock price increases to $60, the dividend yield would decrease to 3.33% ($2/$60).
Conversely, if the stock price decreases to $40, the dividend yield would increase to 5% ($2/$40).
Further, the dividend payment itself can also change over time, which can also impact the dividend yield. If a company increases its dividend payment, the dividend yield will increase even if the stock price remains unchanged. Similarly, if a company decreases its dividend payment, the dividend yield will decrease.
XOM Price Action: Shares of Exxon Mobil fell by 0.3% to close at $118.67 on Wednesday.
