Woodside Energy stock edges up on JERA winter LNG deal as Scarborough update nears

Sydney, Jan 15, 2026, 17:27 (AEDT) — After-hours Woodside Energy Group Ltd (ASX:WDS) shares rose 0.4% to end at A$24.02 on Thursday, after trading between A$23.77 and A$24.25. Japan’s largest power generator JERA said it signed a five-year winter LNG supply agreement with Woodside from 2027, covering three cargoes a year. (Investing.com) The timing matters because Woodside is selling into a market that is still short of winter flexibility. LNG — liquefied natural gas — is often bought years ahead, and winter cargoes can command a premium when demand spikes. For investors, a contract like this is not a big

Chevron stock rises on report U.S. may widen Venezuela license as earnings near

NEW YORK, January 14, 2026, 17:58 EST — After-hours Chevron Corp shares climbed 2.1% to $167.24 in after-hours trading Wednesday following a Reuters report that the U.S. is set to broaden the oil giant’s Venezuela license this week. The expanded waiver could allow Chevron to boost production and exports from its joint ventures, which now stand at roughly 240,000 barrels per day, and might also enable trading some crude from state-owned PDVSA, according to three sources in the oil industry. (Reuters) Timing is key. Venezuelan barrels have been in limbo for months due to U.S. sanctions, with Chevron standing out

Sasol stock jumps 6% as oil climbs and South Africa tariff talks heat up

New York, Jan 14, 2026, 14:40 EST — Regular session Sasol Limited’s U.S.-listed shares jumped roughly 6.4% to $7.52 on Wednesday, hitting $7.53 at one point—marking their best level in at least a year. This gain stood out against a weaker broader U.S. market in afternoon trading. (https://www.reuters.com/markets/companies/SSL/) The jump matters because Sasol’s earnings hinge on crude prices and the rand: oil influences fuel and chemical costs, while currency moves affect how dollar-based sales translate locally.

New York, January 14, 2026, 12:38 EST — Regular session Bloom Energy (BE.N) shares fell 2.3% to $136.55 in midday trade on Wednesday, after swinging between $132 and $140 earlier in the session. The fuel-cell maker has turned into a fast-moving proxy for the hunt for electricity to run artificial intelligence data centers, where power limits and grid queues are starting to show up in project timelines. That makes even small signals about where Bloom can sell next — and how quickly it can deliver — matter more than usual. The stock has been quick to react to anything that
