We recently compiled a list of the Energy Stocks that are Gaining This Week. In this article, we are going to take a look at where EON Resources Inc. (NYSE:EONR) stands against the other energy stocks.
The energy industry has found itself right in the crosshairs of President Trump’s tariff war, sliding more than 8% over the last five days, against a decline of just around 0.5% by the wider market. The global price of crude oil has plummeted by around 22% since the beginning of the year, with the WTI price currently hovering around the $60 mark. The primary reasons for this decline are the escalating US-China trade war, the high prospects of a global economic slowdown, and the recent decision by OPEC+ to increase supply in May. The Trump administration has indicated a strong preference for reducing crude prices to $50 or lower, but whether this is actually possible remains to be seen, considering that the US oil industry needs prices between $61 and $70 per barrel to be profitable, according to data from the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas.
One sector that has garnered special attention from the White House is that of coal. Earlier this week, President Donald Trump signed executive orders that aim to boost coal production, while another order asked the US Attorney General to identify state climate laws that stand in the way of developing energy resources like coal and try to stop them from being enforced. Following the President’s orders, the US Energy Department made $200 billion in financing available for its loan programs office including for new coal technologies. However, the orders have raised serious environmental concerns since coal is among the dirtiest fuels available to generate energy. It also remains to be seen whether there is any actual demand for increased coal output, since hundreds of coal-burning plants have already been shut down over the last decade.
