Energy stocks close higher as oil jumps on Iran sanctions; XLE, Exxon and Chevron in focus next week

New York, January 24, 2026, 13:15 EST — Market closed U.S. energy shares climbed Friday, boosted by a surge in crude prices ahead of the weekend. The Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLE), which tracks S&P 500 energy firms, ended up 0.6% at $49.19. (StockAnalysis) The S&P 500 Energy sector index rose 0.6%, outpacing the sluggish broader market as the S&P 500 inched up just 0.1% on the day. This divergence is significant for money managers, who have once again been leaning on energy as a rough stand-in for crude prices, for better or worse. (Yahoo Finance) Crude took the

SLB Limited stock slips as Evercore upgrade meets Freedom downgrade after Venezuela rally

New York, January 6, 2026, 12:01 EST — Regular session Shares of SLB (SLB.N) slipped 0.1% to $43.76 by 12:01 p.m. EST on Tuesday as fresh analyst calls clashed after a Venezuela-fuelled surge in oil-linked names. The stock traded between $43.42 and $44.76 on the day. StreetInsider.com+1 The stock is in focus after U.S. energy shares jumped on Monday on bets that a shift in Washington’s stance could reopen access to Venezuela’s vast reserves, and draw in suppliers needed to lift output. Venezuelan crude is typically “heavy sour” — thick, high-sulfur oil — and “aligns well” with U.S. Gulf Coast

Halliburton stock jumps nearly 8% on Venezuela jolt as oil-services rally takes hold

New York, Jan 5, 2026, 20:46 EST — Market closed Halliburton Co (HAL.N) shares jumped 7.9% on Monday to $31.92, after touching a session high of $33.33. SLB (SLB.N) added 9.0% and Baker Hughes (BKR.O) rose 4.1%, while the VanEck Oil Services ETF gained 5.2%. The gains followed a sharp move across energy names after U.S. forces captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, lifting expectations that Washington’s action could open a path for U.S. firms to re-engage with Venezuela’s oil sector. The Trump administration plans to meet with executives from U.S. oil companies later this week to discuss boosting Venezuelan production,

SLB stock jumps 8% as Venezuela upheaval lifts oilfield-services names ahead of earnings

NEW YORK, Jan 5, 2026, 09:52 EST SLB shares jumped about 8% in early New York trading on Monday, tracking a sharp rally across oilfield-services stocks. The shares were up $3.25 at $43.45 at 9:40 a.m. ET, while Halliburton gained about 7.5% and Baker Hughes rose about 4.7%.

Reuters reported that oilfield-services firms, whose technology would be needed to lift output, were among the

Halliburton stock rises nearly 5% premarket as Venezuela oil rebuild talk lifts service names

Halliburton stock rises nearly 5% premarket as Venezuela oil rebuild talk lifts service names

NEW YORK, Jan 5, 2026, 04:40 ET — Premarket Halliburton (HAL.N) shares were up 4.7% at $29.60 in premarket trading on Monday, as oilfield services stocks climbed after weekend developments in Venezuela put future drilling and well-work demand back in focus. The move matters now because any push to restart and expand Venezuelan oil output would require oilfield services — the rigs, crews and equipment that drill wells and complete them, the work that readies a well to start producing. Halliburton is one of the largest suppliers of those services. The rally comes as crude prices sit near $60 and

Energy stocks today: Oil’s steep 2025 slide weighs on XLE as OPEC+ meeting nears

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 1:54 PM ET — Market closed Energy stocks ended 2025 weaker, tracking a late-year slide in crude that left oil prices with their steepest annual drop since 2020. U.S. markets are shut on Thursday for New Year’s Day, leaving investors to recalibrate positions ahead of Friday’s reopening. Reuters+1 The timing matters because many energy shares still trade as a proxy for oil. Lower crude prices can compress cash flow for producers and slow spending on drilling and well services, while also shaping inflation expectations through gasoline and diesel costs.
