Crude oil rebounds, but Exxon stock and USO ETF slip in premarket as Venezuela headlines bite

Crude oil rebounds, but Exxon stock and USO ETF slip in premarket as Venezuela headlines bite

NEW YORK, Jan 8, 2026, 07:06 (EST) — Premarket U.S. oil-linked exchange-traded fund United States Oil Fund (USO) fell about 1% in premarket trade on Thursday, while Exxon Mobil was down about 2% and Chevron eased less than 1%. The early drift matters because crude is trying to steady after a rough two-session slide, and oil equities are heading into earnings season with little cushion if prices wobble again. Washington’s moves around Venezuela and Russia sanctions are landing on top of basic supply-and-demand signals from U.S. inventories. Brent and U.S. crude benchmarks were higher in Europe. Brent was up 59

Chevron stock slips before the open on Venezuela license talks — what investors watch next

NEW YORK, Jan 8, 2026, 06:25 EST — Premarket Chevron stock fell 0.8% to $155.20 in premarket trading on Thursday after Reuters reported the oil major is in talks with the U.S. government to expand a key Venezuela operating license. The potential change could lift exports back toward earlier levels — after they were cut to about 100,000 barrels per day in December from roughly 250,000 earlier in the year — and allow Chevron to sell Venezuelan crude beyond its own refineries, sources familiar with the talks said. Reuters The negotiations land as Washington presses ahead with a plan to
