Chevron stock (CVX) heads into Monday with Venezuela output boost in spotlight

Chevron stock (CVX) heads into Monday with Venezuela output boost in spotlight

Chevron shares rose 1.8% on Friday, closing at $162.11, as investors digested the company’s assertion that it can quickly boost production in Venezuela. At a White House meeting, Vice Chairman Mark Nelson pointed to Chevron’s century-long presence in Venezuela and its unique position as the only U.S. oil major still active there. He claimed Chevron could immediately double crude “liftings” — the volumes loaded for sale — from its joint ventures with PDVSA, the Venezuelan state oil firm. Nelson added, “We are also able to increase our production within our own disciplined investment schemes by about 50% just in the next 18 to 24 months.”

Bank of America stock: Trump’s 10% credit-card rate cap call hits ahead of BAC earnings

Bank of America stock: Trump’s 10% credit-card rate cap call hits ahead of BAC earnings

U.S. President Donald Trump announced a one-year cap on credit card interest rates at 10%, set to start on Jan. 20, though he didn’t clarify how the plan would be enforced. The move adds fresh policy risk for Bank of America and other lenders as trading restarts. Banking groups warned this could “reduce credit availability.” Bank of America, American Express, and Capital One did not respond to Reuters’ requests for comment. “When companies can’t price the risk properly, they’ll just reduce credit lines,” said Brian Jacobsen, chief economic strategist at Annex Wealth Management, highlighting that credit cards are unsecured loans.
