# Oil prices surge, the market focuses on energy security, and pays attention to the investment value of the oil ETF E Fund (159181)

On March 19, international oil prices rose, with Brent crude oil futures up over 4%. As of 10:46, the CNI Oil & Gas Index increased by 0.5%. Among the constituent stocks, TRE rose over 5%, SGC rose over 5%, XNG rose over 4%, and Guanghui Energy and New Hope Liuhe rose over 3%.

CITIC Construction Investment Securities stated that crude oil, as an irreplaceable strategic physical asset, not only has inflation-resistant characteristics but also exhibits a significant wide fluctuation or central upward movement compared to general financial assets in a stagflation environment. The investment logic of the oil sector continues to evolve under the resonance of restrained capital expenditure and the maintenance of high oil price levels. Oil companies are accelerating their transformation into dividend assets with "strong free cash flow + high dividends + continuous buybacks."

The CNI Oil & Gas Index consists of 50 stocks involved in oil and gas exploration and development, oil and gas equipment and services, and gas distribution and sales, covering the entire oil and gas industry chain. The "three major oil companies" have a high weight, combining resource attributes with high dividend characteristics. The oil ETF tracking this index, E Fund (159181), has a management fee rate of only 0.15% per year, which can help investors seize investment opportunities in the energy sector at a low cost.
