From Tom DiChristopher:

From Russ Koesterich, CFA: Russ discusses why energy, despite rallying – and outperforming — this year, still looks like a value.

From Steven Vannelli, CFA: Energy is the best performing sector in four of six market-regions. (From two market groups, Developed and Emerging, and three regions, Americas, EMEA, Asia, we get six market-regions.)

The U.S. has been a net importer of energy since 1953, but that’s set to change early next decade, according to the Energy Information Administration (EIA).

From Franklin Templeton Investments: Recalling the shocks of the sharp oil-price downturn back in 2014-2015, many investors have remained wary of energy stocks even as prices began to rebound this year.
