In this article, we are going to discuss the energy stocks that are gaining this week.
After significantly trailing behind in 2024, the energy sector now finds itself outperforming the general market so far this year. Despite the sharp market decline on Thursday, April 3, the broader energy sector has gained over 1.3% since the beginning of 2025, against declines of more than 7% by the wider market.
The energy industry has braced itself for a tidal wave of change with Donald Trump back in the Oval Office since the President has expressed a strong commitment to reviving fossil fuels, reversing climate policies, and assuring America’s energy security. One sector that is already booming is that of natural gas. The benchmark US natural gas price at Henry Hub has surged by over 147% over the last year, thanks to slowing output in 2024, booming LNG exports, and fast-depleting inventories during the coldest winter in six years. Moreover, the ongoing AI boom and the accompanying data centers are also set to significantly increase the country’s energy demand, for which natural gas is a leading contender. The Energy Information Administration (EIA) expects the US gas demand to reach record highs this year and next, forecasting the country’s gas output to surge to 105.2 billion cubic feet per day (bcfd) in 2025, up from 103.2 bcfd last year and a record 103.6 bcfd in 2023.
