Shell stock in focus for Monday as Venezuela sanctions could ease “next week” and buybacks roll on

London, Jan 10, 2026, 21:54 GMT — The market has closed.

Vistra stock jumps on Meta nuclear power deal — what VST investors watch next

LONDON, Jan 10, 2026, 08:57 GMT — Market closed. National Grid (NG.L) shares ended Friday up 0.8% at 1,192.5 pence, leaving the utility close to the top of its recent trading range ahead of Monday’s reopen. (Investing.com) The stock’s next leg will still hinge on regulation. Britain’s regulator Ofgem is setting the returns and spending allowances that drive cash flows for grid owners, and it has already approved a 28 billion pound upgrade plan that it said would add to household bills over time.

Singapore, Jan 10, 2026, 15:29 (SGT) — Market closed Sembcorp Industries Ltd shares (U96.SI) closed at S$5.99 on Friday, down 0.66%, after a media report linked the Singapore-listed utility to a bidding race for Shell’s Indian renewable energy platform Sprng Energy. The stock has now slipped for two straight sessions. (VCCircle) The timing matters. Sembcorp is heading into a shareholder vote window for its planned purchase of Australia’s Alinta Energy — a deal that would be paid in cash and would widen the group’s exposure to regulated power and fuel markets outside Singapore.

Woodside Energy stock jumps on oil rebound — what to watch next for WDS.AX

Sydney, Jan 10, 2026, 16:53 (AEDT) — Market closed Woodside Energy Group Ltd (WDS.AX) closed up 2.8% on Friday at A$23.59, as firmer oil prices lifted energy stocks on the Australian market. The stock traded between A$23.28 and A$23.68; on the chart it has held above about A$22.80 this month and has struggled to clear A$24 — “support” is where buying tends to show up, “resistance” is where selling often caps a rise.

Valero Energy (VLO) stock slides as Venezuela oil moves and analyst targets reset ahead of earnings

Valero Energy (VLO) stock slides as Venezuela oil moves and analyst targets reset ahead of earnings

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 20:45 EST — Market closed. Valero Energy Corp shares fell 3.2% on Friday as investors weighed fresh analyst tweaks and fast-moving Venezuela headlines that could reshape heavy crude flows. The stock last traded down $6.04 at $185.28, after swinging between $182.70 and $194.50. The move matters because refinery earnings can turn quickly when feedstock costs or fuel prices shift. A key yardstick is the crack spread — the gap between crude costs and the value of products such as gasoline and diesel — and it has become the market’s shorthand for whether a refiner is

Constellation Energy (CEG) stock jumps after TD Cowen Buy call; Calpine deal back in focus

New York, January 9, 2026, 17:59 EST — After-hours Constellation Energy shares climbed 6.1% to $342.52 in after-hours trading on Friday, extending a late-week rally after TD Cowen initiated coverage with a Buy rating and a $440 price target. The call landed as investors try to price a U.S. power market that is tightening again, with data-center buildouts pushing load forecasts higher. TD Cowen said Constellation could keep signing power contracts above forward market prices through 2026, and argued worries about “behind-the-meter” data-center power setups — on-site generation that can bypass the grid — look “overstated.” (Investing.com Canada) Constellation said

Valero Energy stock dips on Piper Sandler target cut as Venezuela talks keep traders guessing

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 15:36 EST — Regular session Valero Energy Corp (NYSE: VLO) shares were down $5.82, or about 3%, at $185.50 in mid-afternoon trade, after swinging between $182.70 and $194.50. Marathon Petroleum was little changed and Phillips 66 fell about 1.2%, while the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust rose 0.8%. The move matters now because refiners are trying to price a fast-shifting crude story into near-term earnings. Crack spreads — the gap between crude costs and fuel prices — can swing quickly when geopolitics hits supply, and investors have been quick to fade the latest headlines. U.S.
