Centrus Energy stock leaps 12% to start 2026 as uranium names rally — what investors watch next

New York, Jan 3, 2026, 19:20 ET — Market closed Centrus Energy Corp shares jumped 12.2% in the first U.S. trading session of 2026 on Friday, riding a broad rebound in uranium-linked stocks.

Energy Fuels (UUUU) stock jumps 15% in 2026’s first session — what’s behind it and what’s next

NEW YORK, Jan 3, 2026, 18:57 ET — Market closed Energy Fuels Inc shares closed up 14.7% at $16.68 on Friday, the first U.S. trading session of 2026, after swinging between $14.66 and $17.07. Investing The move matters because uranium-linked names are often driven by momentum and commodity pricing, and the sector started the year with a broad risk-on bid. Traders use the early-January tape to gauge whether last year’s uranium theme is re-accelerating or fading. Energy Fuels sits in the middle of two narratives — nuclear fuel and critical minerals — which can amplify its moves when investors rotate

NEW YORK, Jan 3, 2026, 17:45 ET — Market closed Energy Transfer LP’s U.S.-listed units closed 0.6% higher at $16.59 on Friday, the first trading day of 2026, as energy infrastructure names started the year on firmer footing. The move matters now because the midstream group is being pulled between two macro forces: accelerating U.S. gas demand tied to LNG exports and shifting expectations for interest rates. Pipeline operators make money moving volumes, and the market is looking for proof that U.S. natural gas demand can stay strong into 2026. Reuters Rates remain the other key cross-current.

NEW YORK, Jan 3, 2026, 17:13 ET — Market closed NextEra Energy (NEE) shares rose 0.8% to $80.93 at Friday’s close after the utility reaffirmed its long-term earnings and dividend growth targets ahead of January investor meetings.

NEW YORK, Jan 3, 2026, 17:21 ET — Market closed Occidental Petroleum Corp shares ended Friday up 3.06% at $42.38 after the company said it completed the sale of its chemicals business, OxyChem, to Berkshire Hathaway for $9.7 billion in cash. Oxy The deal matters now because it delivers a large cash infusion as oil markets start 2026 with oversupply concerns back in focus, a mix that has kept investor attention on balance-sheet strength across U.S. shale producers. Occidental also signaled the cash will translate quickly into lower leverage. An SEC filing included pro forma financials that reflect a $6.5

Shell stock jumps to start 2026 as buyback update lands ahead of OPEC+ meeting

NEW YORK, Jan 3, 2026, 17:02 ET — Market closed Shell’s U.S.-listed shares (SHEL) rose $1.96, or 2.7%, to close at $75.44 on Friday, the first U.S. trading day of 2026. BP gained 3.2%, Exxon Mobil rose 1.9% and Chevron added 2.3%. The move matters because integrated oil majors are beginning the year with investor attention still anchored on cash returns as crude prices grapple with oversupply worries. For Shell, buybacks and dividends sit at the center of the equity story. Repurchases reduce the share count, which can lift per-share metrics when commodity prices are volatile.

Stocks to watch next week after U.S. strike on Venezuela: energy and defense names in focus

NEW YORK, January 3, 2026, 13:33 ET — Market closed U.S. President Donald Trump said on Saturday that U.S. forces attacked Venezuela and captured President Nicolas Maduro, a shock development that sets up a headline-driven week for markets when U.S. trading resumes on Monday.  Reuters For investors, the immediate question is whether the operation tightens near-term crude supply or speeds a longer-run shift in Venezuela’s oil sector. Venezuela sits on some of the world’s largest oil reserves, and Washington’s policy stance has already been a central variable for how much of that crude reaches the water.  Reuters U.S. stocks are
