This Sector Dominated the Stock Market Wednesday (No, It Wasn't Tech)

The stock market finished lower on Wednesday afternoon, losing ground late in the session to send all three major benchmarks down. News from the Federal Reserve showed a continued willingness to keep interest rates at rock-bottom levels, but investors weren't entirely comfortable with the central bank taking note of the recent rise in inflationary pressures.

Yet even as most measures of the market gave up ground, one sector managed to do extremely well on Wednesday. That sector was energy, and as oil prices moved back toward multiyear highs, investors want to know if oil and gas stocks have further to climb in the future.
