Archer Aviation stock jumps 8% (ACHR) — insider sale filing and key dates investors watch next week

NEW YORK, Jan 3, 2026, 18:20 ET — Market closed Archer Aviation Inc shares ended Friday up about 8.4% at $8.13, after swinging between $7.51 and $8.20. Roughly 45 million shares changed hands.

ExxonMobil stock in focus after U.S. strike on Venezuela as Trump flags “billions” oil rebuild

NEW YORK, Jan 3, 2026, 18:28 ET — Market closed Exxon Mobil will be in focus when U.S. markets reopen after President Donald Trump said America’s biggest oil companies, including Exxon, would spend billions to rebuild Venezuela’s oil industry following Saturday’s U.S. operation that captured President Nicolas Maduro.

NEW YORK, January 3, 2026, 6:30 PM ET — Market closed Valero Energy Corp shares will be in focus when U.S. markets reopen on Monday after the United States attacked Venezuela and captured President Nicolas Maduro on Saturday, U.S. President Donald Trump said. The move matters for Valero because Washington’s action has tightened the screws on Venezuela’s oil flows, a source of heavy crude used by U.S. Gulf Coast refineries. Venezuela’s oil exports are now paralyzed, with port captains not authorizing loaded tankers to depart, four sources close to operations said. With the market closed for the weekend, Valero (VLO)
