The energy sector outperformed all others in Q1 2026, delivering a 38.38% return driven by Middle East tensions disrupting oil supply routes and pushing crude prices sharply higher. This supply shock boosted major oil companies' profits and attracted investors shifting from expensive tech stocks to undervalued energy equities. Other sectors like utilities and consumer defensives saw modest gains, while tech, financials, and consumer cyclicals declined. The sector's future performance depends on ongoing geopolitical risks and oil market dynamics.
