Valero Energy stock jumps 4% as California imports plan and Venezuela oil headlines hit refiners

Valero Energy Corp shares rose 4.4% to $186.08 in afternoon trade on Wednesday after the refiner said it will keep importing gasoline into Northern California as it idles its 145,000-barrel-per-day Benicia refinery in April 2026.

Brent futures were at $60.59 a barrel and U.S. West Texas Intermediate at $56.86 by 1104 GMT. “Market participants seem to believe now that those volumes could be smaller,” UBS analyst Giovanni Staunovo wrote, though Morgan Stanley has flagged a possible surplus of up to 3 million barrels per day in early 2026.
