Let's break down the sectors behind the performance. ## **Today's Top-Performing Sector** Energy was the top-performing sector as Brent crude (BZ), the global oil benchmark, climbed 3.6% to $101.46 per barrel. The higher prices come amid continued clashes between the U.S. and Iran, with U.S. Central Command announcing it had destroyed five Iranian oil tankers on Tuesday. Furthermore, traffic through the Strait of Hormuz remains severely restricted, with only six commodity vessels passing through on Tuesday, below the 10-day average of 12. Several energy stocks led the sector's gains, including: - APA (APA) - Exxon Mobil (XOM) - Chevron (CVX) - ConocoPhillips (COP) - EOG Resources (EOG) ## **Today's Worst-Performing Sector** Meanwhile, the industrials sector faced the largest drawdown. Vertiv (VRT) plunged nearly 10%, despite the company's management highlighting strong data center demand at a Goldman Sachs (GS) conference. Furthermore, Axon (AXON) faced pressure following a Form 144 from CEO Patrick Smith that showed a planned sale of 10,000 shares worth $5 million. Finally, industrials as a whole faced pressure from rising Treasury yields. Notable industrials stocks trading lower include: - Vertiv (VRT) - Axon (AXON) - Fedex Freight Holding Company (FDXF) - GE Aerospace (GE) - Old Dominion Freight Line (ODFL) ### Related Stocks - [AXON.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/AXON.US.md) - [APA.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/APA.US.md) - [EOG.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/EOG.US.md) - [XOM.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/XOM.US.md) - [CVX.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/CVX.US.md) - [VRT.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/VRT.US.md) - [COP.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/COP.US.md) - [IVV.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/IVV.US.md) - [VRTL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/VRTL.US.md) - [SPY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SPY.US.md) - [VOO.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/VOO.US.md) - [BNO.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BNO.US.md) - [XOMX.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/XOMX.US.md) - [XLI.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/XLI.US.md) - [IYJ.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/IYJ.US.md) - [.SPX.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/.SPX.US.md) - [UCO.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/UCO.US.md) - [USO.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/USO.US.md) - [AXUP.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/AXUP.US.md) - [XOMO.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/XOMO.US.md) - [XOMZ.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/XOMZ.US.md) - [SPLG.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SPLG.US.md) - [SPXL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SPXL.US.md) - [UPRO.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/UPRO.US.md) - [SSO.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SSO.US.md) - [SH.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SH.US.md) - [SPXS.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SPXS.US.md) - [SPXU.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SPXU.US.md) - [SDS.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SDS.US.md) - [SPYI.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SPYI.US.md) - [JEPI.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/JEPI.US.md) - [XYLD.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/XYLD.US.md) - [GS.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/GS.US.md) - [FDXF.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/FDXF.US.md) - [GE.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/GE.US.md) - [W4VR.SG](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/W4VR.SG.md) ## Related News & Research - [Oil rises as risks of prolonged Mideast conflict heighten supply worries](https://longbridge.com/en/news/298241307.md) - [4-Oil prices rise on escalation in Middle East](https://longbridge.com/en/news/297926451.md) - [Hormuz traffic slows after Iran threatens retaliation for US attacks](https://longbridge.com/en/news/298252567.md) - [Brent holds above $100 as tanker attacks deepen supply fear](https://longbridge.com/en/news/298520925.md) - [B.
