Exxon stock moves premarket on Trump’s Venezuela warning — what to watch before the open

Exxon stock moves premarket on Trump’s Venezuela warning — what to watch before the open

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 05:53 EST — Premarket Exxon Mobil Corp shares climbed 1.4% to $124.61 in U.S. premarket Monday. President Donald Trump suggested he could block the oil giant from investing in Venezuela, following CEO Darren Woods’ description of the country as “uninvestable.” (Reuters) Washington’s push to revive Venezuelan oil exports and lure private investment into a sector crippled by sanctions and neglect is driving the headlines. For Exxon, a comeback would put its insistence on clear rules and strong safeguards to the test — adding a political edge to a stock that’s already sensitive to crude price

Sembcorp Industries stock rises in Singapore as Alinta vote nears and oil jitters return

Singapore, Jan 12, 2026, 15:33 SGT — Regular session Sembcorp Industries Ltd shares ticked up 0.5% to S$6.02 Monday afternoon, bouncing around a range of S$5.97 to S$6.03 earlier. Singapore’s Straits Times Index gained roughly 0.6%. (Investing.com) The stock’s slight shift hides a larger timing challenge. Traders are zeroing in on upcoming milestones tied to Sembcorp’s planned Australian expansion, all while monitoring oil prices and broader risk trends. Paperwork is now the focus. Sembcorp plans to release the shareholder circular and notice for an extraordinary general meeting—meaning a vote outside the usual annual meeting—by mid-January. The meeting itself is set

Woodside Energy shares hold near one-month peak as oil jitters keep traders on edge

Woodside Energy shares hold near one-month peak as oil jitters keep traders on edge

Sydney, January 12, 2026, 17:46 AEDT — Post-market update Shares of Woodside Energy Group Ltd closed Monday up 0.6% at A$23.72, having earlier hit A$24.08—their best price in roughly four weeks. Trading volume reached 2.23 million shares, according to data. (Investing.com) The move is significant since Woodside is right in the thick of daily crude price swings: supply concerns can send energy stocks soaring, only for any relief to pull them back just as swiftly. For investors, this directly impacts near-term cash flow forecasts for a company dealing in oil and liquefied natural gas. Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 climbed 0.5% to

NuScale Power stock set for Monday test after BofA upgrade keeps SMR trade alive

New York, Jan 11, 2026, 18:55 EST — Market closed. NuScale Power shares ended Friday at $20.51, gaining roughly 4.3% after fluctuating between $20.32 and $22.29 during the session. The stock’s volatility was on full display once again. Over the past 52 weeks, the share price has swung widely—from a low near $11.08 to a high of $57.42—highlighting the market’s uneven appetite for the small-reactor narrative. (Investing.com) This shift is significant since nuclear and “SMR” stocks offer a straightforward way to bet on a single question: will major electricity consumers, particularly data-center firms, pay a premium for reliable, carbon-free energy

New York, Jan 11, 2026, 17:48 EST — Market closed. Enbridge’s U.S.-listed shares ended Friday roughly 0.8% higher, closing at $45.63. Trading will remain sensitive to headlines when North American markets open on Monday. Oil climbed roughly 2% on Sunday, pushing energy back into focus as the week begins.

Utilities stocks head into CPI week on a Meta nuclear deal — what to watch Monday

Utilities stocks head into CPI week on a Meta nuclear deal — what to watch Monday

New York, Jan 11, 2026, 13:40 (EST) — Market closed. U.S. utilities stocks kicked off Monday under a new spotlight after Meta Platforms secured 20-year nuclear power deals with Vistra and partnered with two small-reactor developers. These agreements highlight utilities as Big Tech increasingly seeks reliable power for AI-driven data centers. (Reuters) This matters because utilities frequently trade as “bond proxies” — dividend-paying stocks that track Treasury yields when investors adjust their interest rate forecasts. Economists at S&P Global Market Intelligence noted that markets are closely watching upcoming inflation data, with the Federal Reserve divided on how quickly to ease

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

New York, January 11, 2026, 11:37 EST — Market closed Chevron (CVX) 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

Saudi Aramco stock jumps 2.4% on Tadawul as oil firms — what to watch next

Riyadh, January 11, 2026, 18:02 AST — The market has closed. Saudi Arabian Oil Co. (2222) closed Sunday 2.4% higher at 24.22 riyals, moving within a range of 23.70 to 24.22 during the session, according to exchange figures.
