Refiners top oil majors among energy stocks in June 2026 as ETF weight shifts

Refiners top oil majors among energy stocks in June 2026 as ETF weight shifts

Energy stocks in the U.S. finished June mixed, a split that wasn’t obvious on the sector tape. The Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund dropped along with oil majors and services, while two big refiners gained. The June 29 session was a regular U.S. trading day; according to the NYSE’s 2026 calendar, Juneteenth is observed June 19, with the next stock-market closure for Independence Day on July 3. The table lists May 29 closing prices and Monday’s latest data, pulled from public market sources. June return figures and estimated XLE impacts come from those prices and State Street’s index weights.

Energy stocks this week: U.S. sector ETF holds flat as oil falls

Energy stocks this week: U.S. sector ETF holds flat as oil falls

Energy stocks in the U.S. head into a short week trading with a more defined separation than crude futures show. Brent crude has pulled back, shedding most of its war risk pricing. But the Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund isn’t tracking oil’s move down point for point. XLE finished at $53.84 on Friday, slipping 0.4% from Monday’s close, according to daily numbers from Investing.com. Brent crude ended the session Friday at $71.99 a barrel, dropping 10.86% since the Thursday before, with the market having closed for a public holiday last Friday.

US Energy Shares Watch Strait of Hormuz After 6.6% Drop for the Week

US Energy Shares Watch Strait of Hormuz After 6.6% Drop for the Week

U.S. energy shares may see heavy swings at Monday’s open after Iran threatened again to block the Strait of Hormuz, a move that questions the basic reason for last week’s steep slide in oil stocks. Reuters, citing vessel tracking, reported no tankers passing the strait since Tehran’s statement on Saturday. The U.S. military, though, said the route is still open. S&P 500 energy stocks dropped 6.6% over four sessions. At the same time, the S&P 500 was up 0.93%. Investors saw the interim U.S.-Iran deal as opening the door for Gulf oil to come back into the market. U.S. exchanges didn’t open Friday for Juneteenth.

Oil stocks set for weekend as crude drops on Iran deal talk

Oil stocks set for weekend as crude drops on Iran deal talk

Energy names closed out the week in a tricky spot, with oil sharply lower but the group hanging on. Brent, the global benchmark, dropped 3.37% to $87.33 a barrel by Friday’s settlement. U.S. benchmark WTI fell 3.23% to $84.88, as markets started to consider the odds of a U.S.-Iran deal. Crude’s slump usually weighs on oil producers’ cash flow and share prices, while a higher oil price can help earnings and stocks. Energy shares were steadier than oil prices. XLE finished up 0.77% at $57.55 on Friday. Exxon Mobil added 0.27%, Chevron gained 0.74%, ConocoPhillips was up 1.40%, and Occidental Petroleum advanced 1.90%. For the five days, XLE held close to its June 5 close at $57.67. Investors didn’t completely step back from energy names after the late-week crude drop.

Exxon, Chevron And 4 U.S. Energy Stocks To Watch Today As Oil Spikes On Iran Risk

Energy shares in the U.S. surged to lead the market Friday, thanks to a more than 3% spike in oil prices. Exxon Mobil, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, Occidental Petroleum, SLB, and Halliburton all landed on the day’s watch list ahead of the New York session. Brent crude moved up to $109.19 a barrel by 0925 GMT, Reuters said, with West Texas Intermediate reaching $104.89. After meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, President Donald Trump warned that his patience with Iran was wearing thin. Vandana Hari, who runs Vanda Insights, noted attention had shifted squarely back to the current deadlock and the heightened risk of military flare-ups close to the Strait of Hormuz.

Energy Stocks Today: Exxon Stands Out as Oil Above $100 Runs Into Fed Fears

Energy Stocks Today: Exxon Stands Out as Oil Above $100 Runs Into Fed Fears

Late Wednesday, U.S. energy names split direction. Exxon Mobil managed a slight 0.4% gain, but Chevron dropped 0.5% and ConocoPhillips shed 0.6%. Oil stuck above $100 a barrel, but concerns about inflation and interest rates kept enthusiasm in check. The Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund slipped 0.1% as of 2:59 p.m. EDT. The split is significant—energy stocks aren’t just tracking crude prices anymore. Brent and U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude held above $100, though oil edged down during the session. According to Reuters, traders digested the prospect of U.S. rate hikes and eyed the Trump-Xi meeting in Beijing.

Best Energy Stocks to Buy Today: 5 Oil Stocks in Focus as Brent Tops $110

Best Energy Stocks to Buy Today: 5 Oil Stocks in Focus as Brent Tops $110

Oil jumping past $110 a barrel is giving big energy stocks fresh momentum. Exxon Mobil, Chevron, and ConocoPhillips—those are the U.S. names traders are eyeing first today. Brent crude gained close to 3% as U.S.-Iran negotiations stalled out, leaving the Strait of Hormuz mostly closed off. “The market was rapidly repricing geopolitical risk,” said Rystad Energy’s Jorge Leon. This time, the oil shock isn’t confined to energy names. U.S. stock-index futures slipped early Tuesday, with traders eyeing the chance that stubbornly high crude prices might stick around. Oil is still running 54% above where it stood before the war, according to Reuters. Ameriprise strategist Anthony Saglimbene flagged geopolitical events as an “active and important variable” in current risk management.
