Why are energy shares up?
Even though the overall market fell, energy companies often benefit when oil prices rise. The story mentions Brent crude staying above $100 a barrel, which means oil producers can sell their product for more money. This increased revenue can lead to higher profits for energy companies, making their shares more attractive to investors.
