Summary : The top eight S&P 500 stocks this year are all energy names.
The stock got an additional boost on Thursday after Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.V., said they reached a deal on what could become the largest climate package in U.S. history. Traditional oil and gas companies have been lifted this year by surging commodity prices. Despite calls from lawmakers to open the taps and help ease the inflationary burden of higher energy costs, companies have pledged to keep output steady.
