The energy sector is crucial to the economy as it provides the power and fuel required for the normal functioning of travel and trade. However, economic slowdown, such as during the COVID-19 pandemic, can have a direct impact on energy prices and demand, thereby significantly affecting the prices of energy stocks.
On the other hand, recovery of the economic scenario buoyed by the rising vaccination rates to contain the spread of new infection boosts demand and usually drives up prices. Investors should include stocks of companies that can sustain a downturn.
