Chevron stock eyes oil’s rebound as traders await U.S. inventory data

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 02:14 ET — Market closed. Chevron (CVX.N) shares last settled down 0.32% at $150.02 on Friday, as investors headed into the final week of the year with crude prices rebounding early Monday after weekend geopolitical headlines.

Oil benchmarks rose in early trading, setting up energy shares for a macro-driven open once U.S. equities reopen later Monday. Reuters Chevron ended Friday at $150.02, down 48 cents, after trading between

NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2025, 4:18 p.m. ET — Market closed Valero Energy Corporation (NYSE: VLO) heads into Monday’s session at the center of two powerful—and potentially conflicting—crosscurrents: a U.S. equity market that is ending 2025 near record territory, and a crude-oil tape that has been pressured by renewed concerns about a global supply glut heading into 2026. With the New York Stock Exchange closed for the weekend, investors are using the pause to reassess what drives refiners like Valero: not just the absolute price of oil, but the spread between crude and refined products (gasoline, diesel, jet fuel), plus

Great British Energy in Aberdeen: Questions Over Minister Engagement as Chef Graham Mitchell Unveils “Tatlers by Tarragon”

Aberdeen is once again at the centre of Scotland’s national conversation — not only because it has been chosen as the headquarters for the UK’s new publicly owned clean energy company, Great British Energy (often shortened to GB Energy or GBE), but also because a prominent local chef is betting on the city centre with a major new restaurant planned for 2026. GOV.UK+2Reuters+2 The two storylines — one about the future of the North Sea economy and the UK’s “clean power” ambitions, the other about a high-profile hospitality expansion — offer a snapshot of Aberdeen’s shifting identity: a city trying
