XLE (Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund) · Why linked: Rising crude prices lift the broader U.S. energy sector. Market context: Energy stocks benefit from the rally in crude oil prices.
FXI (China Large-Cap) · Why linked: The catalyst involves Chinese refiners, making Chinese equities broadly relevant. Market context: Domestic supply protectionism signals fiscal demand stress on Chinese refiners.
