Brent crude price sinks as Trump cools Iran fears; traders refocus on inventories

London, Jan 15, 2026, 12:00 GMT — Regular session Brent futures tumbled more than 4% on Thursday after U.S. President Donald Trump said killings of demonstrators during protests in Iran were stopping, easing fears of a U.S. strike and supply disruptions. Brent was down $2.84, or 4.27%, at $63.68 a barrel by 1012 GMT, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate fell $2.68, or 4.32%, to $59.34. “The immediate risk premium had softened but is unlikely to go away,” Saxo Bank analyst Ole Hansen said.

ConocoPhillips stock (COP) dips in premarket as oil slides; Australia gas discovery adds a wrinkle

New York, January 15, 2026, 05:26 EST — Premarket ConocoPhillips (COP) slipped roughly 1% in Thursday’s U.S. premarket, hitting $99.27. The drop pared some of Wednesday’s gains, as oil prices retreated. (marketbeat.com) Timing is key. Energy stocks have been volatile alongside crude prices, and Thursday’s action finds the stock near the upper end of its short-term range following a two-day rally. ConocoPhillips jumped 4.02% to close at $100.34 on Wednesday, bucking the broader market declines as the S&P 500 dropped 0.53% and the Dow dipped 0.09%.

NEW YORK, Jan 14, 2026, 16:48 ET — After-hours Exxon Mobil shares jumped roughly 2.9% to $130.20 in after-hours trading Wednesday following a Reuters report.

(Reuters) The report comes as Venezuelan exports resume under U.S. oversight following a December blockade that caused storage to fill up, forcing state oil company PDVSA to close wells and slash production, Reuters reported Tuesday. According to the report, PDVSA

Shell stock: 3% Friday jump puts buybacks and oil shocks back in play

LONDON, January 11, 2026, 08:02 GMT — Market closed Shell Plc shares (SHEL.L) closed Friday up 3.0%, finishing at 2,640 pence after moving between 2,589.5 and 2,659.0 pence during the session. Immediate support is near 2,554 pence, matching Thursday’s low. The stock’s 52-week range stretches from 2,269.9 to 2,937.5 pence. (Investing.com) As London remains closed for the weekend, any near-term movement in Shell shares will probably hinge on crude prices rather than corporate news. Energy stocks have been highly responsive to changes in supply risk, often overshadowing regular trading updates. This is significant because Shell is heavily focused on capital

Oil prices rise on Iran, Venezuela worries; Exxon and Chevron stocks jump premarket

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 06:38 EST — Premarket Exxon Mobil was up $4.42, or 3.7%, in premarket trading on Friday, while Chevron added $4.08, or 2.6%, as oil-linked names caught a bid.

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 06:12 EST — Premarket SLB shares were up about 1% in U.S. premarket trading on Friday as the White House prepares to meet oil companies, traders and drillers on Venezuela, keeping the sector in focus. The oilfield services firm’s stock was around $44.86 after closing up 4.9% at $44.43 in the prior session.

Oil prices rise on U.S. stock draw and Venezuela headlines; Exxon stock steadies after earnings-hit warning

NEW YORK, Jan 8, 2026, 06:20 EST — Premarket Exxon Mobil shares were up about 0.1% in premarket trade at $118.61 on Thursday, after ending the prior session down 2.1%. In a regulatory filing, Exxon said lower crude prices could trim fourth-quarter upstream — its oil and gas production business — earnings by $800 million to $1.2 billion. The filing also showed stronger refining margins, a gauge of profit from turning crude into fuel, could add $300 million to $700 million, with results due on Jan. 30.
