Oil-Sensitive Stocks Rally (LCC) (RCL) (CNW) (F) (UPS) (EAT)

March 8, 2011 12:25 PM EST
Today's pullback in crude is helping the entire market, but oil-sensitive stocks are benefiting the most.

Rising oil and gas prices has been a thorn in the side of businesses that rely heavily on fuel in their day-to-day operations or have businesses closely tied to customers spending related to rising fuel costs. Those businesses include airlines, cruise lines, truckers, air delivery, automotive and causal diners.

Looking across these sectors and you can instantly see the positive response to today's reprieve in oil prices. This reaction could be short lived or could continue based on the situation in North African and the Middle East and the price of crude.
