The oil and gas juniors on our list could continue to power higher should market sector rotation move from momentum to underperforming cyclicals
SmallCapPower | February 25, 2020: Bloomberg News reported recently that Swiss bank UBS Group is recommending investors begin buying underperforming cyclical sectors such as energy and autos and start selling tech and software companies. This is due to the potential bubble risk from popular passive ETF investing styles, such as momentum and low volatility. These sectors could sell off sharply, causing investors to move into underperforming sectors such as energy. Today we have drilled down and discovered four TSXV-listed oil and gas juniors that have the potential to significantly outperform should a sector rotation into energy stocks come to fruition.
