In this report, we assess the pipeline and infrastructure sub-sector of the energy industry, focusing on TC Energy Corporation. Recently, TC Energy has demonstrated impressive performance, rising significantly in the SIA S&P/TSX 60 Large Cap Index and delivering strong year-to-date gains. We will also conduct a technical review, examining key resistance levels and relative strength compared to peers, to highlight the technical factors driving its growth potential in the current market landscape.

Weatherford International PLC (WFRD), with a market capitalization of $5.79 billion, is experiencing significant deterioration in relative strength, shifting from a favored position to deep within the unfavored zone of the S&P Mid Cap 400 Index. As the company faces increasing resistance and weak crude oil prices, it serves as a cautionary proxy in the oil services sector, signaling the need for investors to seek stronger opportunities. This trend highlights a broader concern within the oil and gas market, warranting careful scrutiny.

ExxonMobil Corp. (XOM) serves as a crucial proxy in the oil market, evaluated through the SIA rules-based approach rather than a gut-based one. Recent chart patterns, including several double and triple tops, hint at the potential for a bullish breakout. However, the overall trend of the main coach, relative strength, has trended negative, with XOM currently in the “Unfavored” zone and declining in the ranks. This situation requires careful monitoring as SIA practitioners navigate these conflicting signals.
