NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 02:14 ET — Market closed.
- Chevron ended Friday down 0.32% at $150.02, closing out a quiet post-holiday session.
- Crude prices rose about 1% early Monday on geopolitics, a key read-through for big oil shares.
- Traders are watching U.S. inventory data due later Monday and Chevron’s next earnings window.
Chevron (CVX.N) shares last settled down 0.32% at $150.02 on Friday, as investors headed into the final week of the year with crude prices rebounding early Monday after weekend geopolitical headlines. [1]
The move matters because Chevron, like other integrated oil majors, often trades with crude prices, especially when company-specific news is scarce and year-end liquidity is thin.
Oil benchmarks rose in early trading, setting up energy shares for a macro-driven open once U.S. equities reopen later Monday. [2]
Chevron ended Friday at $150.02, down 48 cents, after trading between $149.65 and $151.14, Nasdaq data showed. [3]
The S&P 500 Energy sector index fell 0.28% on Friday, broadly tracking crude’s late-week softness. [4]
Brent crude futures, the global benchmark, rose 63 cents, or 1.04%, to $61.27 a barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI), the U.S. benchmark, gained 58 cents, or 1.02%, to $57.32. [5]
“This may be what’s driving market concerns about potential supply disruptions,” Yang An, a China-based analyst at Haitong Futures, said, pointing to heightened Middle East tensions. [6]
Crude had fallen more than 2% on Friday as investors weighed fresh worries about a global supply glut and the possibility of progress toward a Ukraine peace deal. [7]
Brent is down 19% year-to-date, putting oil on pace for its biggest annual loss since 2020, despite a late-December bounce off near-five-year lows, Reuters reported. [8]
Before the next session, traders will focus on the U.S. Energy Information Administration’s Weekly Petroleum Status Report, scheduled for release Monday at 10:30 a.m. Eastern after a Christmas-related delay. [9]
The report tracks crude and refined fuel inventories — stockpiles — a closely watched gauge of short-term supply and demand that can swing oil prices and, by extension, energy equities.
Chevron investors are also looking ahead to quarterly results; Nasdaq’s earnings calendar estimates the company will report on Jan. 30. [10]
IG analyst Tony Sycamore said in a note that WTI is expected to trade within a $55-to-$60 range, keeping the focus on macro headlines rather than company specifics for large producers. [11]
For CVX, the $150 area has acted as a near-term pivot. A drop below Friday’s $149.65 low would leave the stock vulnerable to a deeper pullback, while a push above $151.14 would put last week’s highs back in view. [12]
