Exxon Mobil stock in focus as CEO calls Venezuela “uninvestable” while keeping return option alive

New York, January 10, 2026, 10:43 EST — Market closed Exxon Mobil Corp (XOM) shares ended Friday up 1.38% at $124.61. CEO Darren Woods said the company is ready to consider reentering Venezuela, but described the country as “uninvestable” given its current regulations. At the same White House meeting, Chevron’s Mark Nelson claimed the oil giant could double its “liftings”—crude cargo shipments—and boost production by roughly 50% within 18 to 24 months. The Venezuela factor is crucial now, hitting as Washington aims to revamp the country’s oil industry and possibly redirect more heavy crude to U.S. refineries. For oil stocks,

Mastercard stock in focus after Trump floats 10% credit card rate cap; what to watch next

New York, January 10, 2026, 10:44 EST — Market closed Here are the key points: Mastercard shares head into the week under pressure as Washington reenters the spotlight. U.S. President Donald Trump proposed a one-year cap on credit card interest rates, limiting them to 10%. The stock slipped 0.8%, closing at $575.54 on Friday. (reuters.com) This proposal hits payments companies by focusing on the fees issuers charge, which in turn affects how much credit consumers can access. Mastercard doesn’t provide loans itself, but it collects fees based on card spending. So, if credit availability tightens, it could dent transaction growth.
