I haven't looked at the weightings in the XLE recently so Im not sure what is fair on it.
My view is oil is probably near it's "stable price" but I think NG is going to fall over the next year. We were pretty much locked between $2.50-$3 for a long time then had the panic spike up. In commodities, the cure for high prices is high prices. Especially with NG where it's a byproduct of fracking for oil.
It was just being burned off because there was no market for it there was so much of it. A lot was stranded because there weren't enough pipeline capacity etc. With it still double the old price and demand from Europe, I fully expect it to get hooked to the distribution network and a glut to return down the road.
Long story short, I'm bearish on NG but not oil. I think by next summer, NG will be back to $4 or so and possibly lower vs current $6.
How this affects XLE I don't know.
