Sembcorp Industries stock dips as Sprng Energy bid talk resurfaces; Alinta vote nears

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. The Economic Times reported that Sembcorp, U.S.

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. Oil did much of the work. Brent settled up $2.03, or 3.4%, at $61.99 a barrel on Thursday after two sessions of declines, as traders assessed fast-moving

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.

Valero (VLO) stock slides as Venezuela oil talks loom and an analyst trims a target

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 14:39 (EST) — Regular trading Valero Energy shares fell 3.2% to $185.16 Friday afternoon, after hitting an intraday low of $182.70. Marathon Petroleum was off 0.1% and Phillips 66 dropped 1.1%. Piper Sandler lowered its Valero price target to $217 from $223 and stuck with an “overweight” rating, The Fly reported. (TipRanks) The pullback comes with traders watching Washington. The White House was convening a meeting on Friday with oil producers, refiners and trading houses to discuss potential investment in Venezuela’s energy sector, a White House official said.

EQT stock slips as U.S. natural gas price drops 6% in midday trade

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 13:52 EST — Regular session EQT Corp shares fell about 2.4% to $50.96 in afternoon trading, tracking a fresh leg down in U.S. natural gas prices. Front-month Henry Hub natural gas futures for February were down 6.1% at $3.198 per million British thermal units (mmBtu), a common unit used to price gas. (Investing.com South Africa) The moves matter because producers’ realised prices and cash flow are tied, directly or not, to the futures curve. In winter, weather models can flip demand in a hurry, and equities tend to follow the screen even when company news

Chevron stock rises on Venezuela export scramble as White House talks loom

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 12:28 EST — Regular session Chevron shares rose about 1.5% to $161.57 in midday trading on Friday, keeping the oil major in focus as Washington weighs who gets to move Venezuelan crude under new U.S. oversight. Jean-Francois Lambert of consultancy Lambert Commodities said trading houses bring “global reach and optionality” that majors often lack. (Reuters) The move matters because Chevron is heading into a White House meeting later on Friday with other oil producers and trading firms as the Trump administration pushes a plan to steer Venezuelan oil sales, people familiar with the matter said.

Exxon Mobil (XOM) stock ticks up as filing flags up to $1.2 bln Q4 upstream hit

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 11:39 EST — Regular session Exxon Mobil (XOM) shares rose 0.6% to $123.63 on Friday after the oil major said lower crude prices could cut fourth-quarter upstream earnings — its oil and gas production business — by about $800 million to $1.2 billion. It also said stronger refining margins, the gap between crude costs and fuel prices, could lift earnings by $300 million to $700 million, while restructuring charges may shave about $200 million. Analysts expect adjusted earnings of $1.66 per share; “many brokers, including us, have yet to mark to market,” Scotiabank analysts wrote.

EQT stock drifts as U.S. natural gas prices slide again, with storage and weather in play

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 10:22 (EST) — Regular session EQT Corp slipped 0.2% to $52.12 during Friday morning trading. The move followed a selloff in the previous session, as investors pulled back from gas-linked producers while U.S. gas prices softened. U.S. natural gas futures slipped roughly 2%, landing near $3.33 per million British thermal units (mmBtu)—the figure traders use to benchmark gas deals. These small price shifts have an outsized effect right now, with just a few cents making or breaking cash flow forecasts for producers linked closely to Henry Hub pricing, according to markets.businessinsider.com.

New York, January 9, 2026, 08:13 EST — Premarket Denison Mines Corp shares edged up about 0.2% to $3.33 in U.S. premarket trade on Friday, after the Canadian uranium developer said grid power is now available at the site of its planned Phoenix mine in northern Saskatchewan.
