On March 19, international oil prices rose. Brent crude futures increased by over 4%. As of 10:46, the China Securities Petroleum and Natural Gas Index rose by 0.5%. Among the component stocks, TianHao Energy and Shenzhen Gas rose over 5%, Xin Natural Gas increased over 4%, and Guanghui Energy and Sinopec New Energy rose over 3%.

CITIC Securities stated that crude oil, as an irreplaceable strategic physical asset, not only has resilience against inflation but also shows significant volatility or central upward movement that outperforms typical financial assets in stagflation environments. The investment logic of the crude oil sector continues to evolve under the resonance of restrained capital expenditure and sustained high oil price levels. Crude oil companies are accelerating their transformation into dividend assets with “strong free cash flow + high dividends + ongoing buybacks.”

The China Securities Petroleum and Natural Gas Index consists of 50 stocks involved in oil and gas exploration and development, oil and gas equipment and services, gas transmission and distribution, and other related fields, covering the entire oil and gas industry chain. The “Three Big Oil” companies have high weights, combining resource attributes with high dividend characteristics. The oil ETF tracking this index, E Fund (159181), has a management fee rate of only 0.15% per year, helping investors seize energy sector investment opportunities at low cost.
