Three sectors to watch now

Welcome back, everyone. 

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has shown us how vulnerable we are to oil and gas supply. 

And that’s raised questions about how we can improve technology to be less reliant on fossil fuels… 

The first technology that comes to mind to switch us off oil and gas is electric cars. 

That can have some good implications for EV stocks, but supply and demand issues come into play with any commodity… 

So today I’ll break down some pros and cons of this potential consumer shift. Plus, I’ll share another sector that could benefit — and it’s not what you think…

High Oil and Gas Prices Means Hot EV Plays

Since oil and gas prices skyrocketed, Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA) shares have been on a huge run. It’s climbed from $800 to over $1,100 in just a couple of weeks. Check out this chart…

That’s a crazy run for a large-cap stock. 

Then there’s Mullen Automotive, Inc. (NASDAQ: MULN). Like I said yesterday, it spiked on a midday Breaking News Chat alert on Wednesday. 

Yesterday, MULN gapped up and was one of my top watches. Set an alert and wait for a break above $3.50…

There are a ton of believers in this stock. I get DMs from people all the time claiming MULN is the next TSLA. But we know better than that. 

We know the overall market news is helping some of these small cap EV stocks run. And they’re moving in sympathy to TSLA. 

So trade it for what it is — a junk penny stock. 

Focus on trading the hype, momentum and patterns. But keep your eyes on the news and the effects it can have on other sectors…

The Story Behind a Potential Hot Sector

Switching to electric vehicles might reduce our reliance on oil and gas. But it will increase our reliance on another commodity…

Basic materials. 

Specifically metals. EVs need lithium, nickel, and copper for battery production. 

Nickel supplies are down, while demand and prices skyrocket. And the Russia-Ukraine crisis isn’t helping…

Supply concerns are driving up metal prices faster than a Tesla goes from 0-60. 

And increased prices and supply concerns recently drove Tesla to sign a multi-year deal with Vale S.A. (NYSE: VALE) to get nickel from Canada. 

But while I think all of this negative news could add up to a hot sector in the future … right now it’s just a watch. 

Remember what it takes for any stock to be a buy. It must check all the boxes. And we never anticipate. We react. But that doesn’t mean you can’t prepare…

And while we wait for EV demand and high oil and gas prices to spark the metal sector — oil and gas stocks are still on my radar… 

In fact, three of the five stocks on my weekly watchlist were oil and gas stocks… 

And a SteadyTrade Team member used StocksToTrade’s FREE oil and gas scans to find Southwestern Energy Company (NYSE: SWN) last week — before I featured it on my watchlist.

We released our three free oil and gas stock scans a few weeks ago for a limited time…

But we brought them back because there’s still so much opportunity in this sector.
