Here's Why BP And Exxon Mobil Shares Are Rising

Shares of several companies in the energy sector, including BP plc (NYSE:BP) and Exxon Mobil Corp (NYSE:XOM), are trading higher amid a rise in oil prices as EU nations consider joining the US in a Russian oil embargo and after an attack on Saudi oil facilities over the weekend.

BP and Exxon Mobil shares are trading higher by 8.8% and 28.3% respectively on a year-to-date basis amid continued momentum and an increase in the price of oil. Energy names have been volatile amid the Russia-Ukraine conflict, which has lifted oil and gas prices due to supply concerns.
