Oil stocks brace for Tuesday as Brent holds near $64 and tariff jitters cloud demand

NEW YORK, January 19, 2026, 12:26 EST — The market has closed. Oil stocks reopened Tuesday with crude clinging near $64 a barrel after supply worries tied to Iran faded and traders shifted focus to the U.S.-Europe spat over Greenland. Brent inched up a penny to $64.14 a barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) added 7 cents, landing at $59.51. “The market is now focusing on the Greenland situation … any trade war expansion could impact demand,” said Janiv Shah, analyst at Rystad Energy. Phil Flynn of Price Futures Group described the scene as a market “locked in by

Oil stocks brace for holiday week as Chevron Venezuela license and $60 oil collide

New York, Jan 18, 2026, 12:38 EST — Market closed Chevron will be in focus during the next U.S. session after Energy Secretary Chris Wright revealed that Washington is rushing to expand the company’s Venezuela license. The update would allow Chevron to pay the Venezuelan government in cash and sell all the oil it produces there. “So they become immediately, another marketer of crude as well,” Wright explained. Chevron shares closed Friday nearly flat, up 0.1% at $166.26. (Reuters) This policy shift comes amid volatile crude prices driven by geopolitical concerns and uncertainty about the timing and volume of supply.

Energy Stocks Head Into MLK Break as Oil Firms Up — What Traders Watch Next

New York, January 17, 2026, 14:27 EST — Market closed. U.S. energy shares edged up on Friday, with the Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLE) finishing at $47.69, a modest gain of 0.17%. (StockAnalysis) The timing is crucial since U.S. markets will be closed Monday for Martin Luther King Jr. Day, extending the break between Friday’s close and Tuesday’s reopening. (New York Stock Exchange) In this sector, that pause often magnifies swings tied to crude, which lately has been influenced as much by politics as by supply.

Oil stocks head into long weekend with Iran risk in focus as Exxon, Chevron earnings near

New York, Jan 17, 2026, 13:12 EST — Market closed. U.S. oil inventories edged up slightly on Friday as crude prices finished the day stronger. Investors, cautious of new geopolitical developments, prepared for the long weekend ahead. The timing is crucial. U.S. equity markets will be closed Monday for Martin Luther King Jr. Day, giving energy traders a two-day stretch of headline risk without access to the cash market.

ConocoPhillips stock slips in regular session as oil tumbles — what to watch before Feb. 5 earnings

New York, January 15, 2026, 13:34 (ET) — Regular session ConocoPhillips shares slipped 0.6% to $99.69 in early afternoon trading on Thursday, tracking a sharp drop in crude prices. Exxon Mobil fell 0.4%, Chevron lost 0.3% and Occidental Petroleum dropped about 2.4%. The move matters now because the market has been peeling back the “risk premium” in oil — the extra price traders pay when supply disruptions look more likely. When that cushion disappears, producers like ConocoPhillips usually feel it first. Investors are also juggling new company headlines and position-setting ahead of earnings. The stock has bounced in recent sessions,

Oil prices tumble 4% on Trump Iran remarks, putting Exxon and Chevron in focus premarket

New York, Jan 15, 2026, 06:49 EST — Premarket Oil prices fell more than 4% on Thursday after U.S. President Donald Trump said killings of protesters in Iran were ending, cooling fears of U.S. military action that could disrupt supply. Brent, the global benchmark, was down $2.84, or 4.27%, at $63.68 a barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) fell $2.68, or 4.32%, to $59.34 by 1012 GMT. (Reuters) The pullback comes after a jittery run where traders tried to price a “geopolitical trifecta” at once — Venezuela, Iran and the Black Sea — even as the market kept bumping

New York, January 15, 2026, 05:26 EST — Premarket ConocoPhillips (COP) slipped roughly 1% in Thursday’s U.S. premarket, hitting $99.27. The drop pared some of Wednesday’s gains, as oil prices retreated. (marketbeat.com) Timing is key. Energy stocks have been volatile alongside crude prices, and Thursday’s action finds the stock near the upper end of its short-term range following a two-day rally. ConocoPhillips jumped 4.02% to close at $100.34 on Wednesday, bucking the broader market declines as the S&P 500 dropped 0.53% and the Dow dipped 0.09%. Volume surged to about 13.5 million shares, nearly twice its 50-day average. Exxon Mobil

Oil stocks brace for Monday as Bessent hints Venezuela sanctions relief; Chevron, Exxon in focus

NEW YORK, Jan 11, 2026, 12:40 EST — Market closed U.S. oil inventories enter the new week with renewed focus on Washington’s timeline for Venezuela. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent indicated more sanctions could be eased “as soon as next week” to boost oil exports. He mentioned Treasury is considering adjustments to allow proceeds from Venezuela’s oil—mostly stored on ships—to flow back into the country. Bessent also said he plans meetings next week with IMF and World Bank leaders. (Reuters) Why it matters now: quicker access for Venezuelan crude to the U.S. market would challenge an already narrow band for oil

Oil stocks brace for Monday after Trump’s Venezuela push; Exxon calls it “uninvestable”

NEW YORK, Jan 10, 2026, 12:54 EST — Market closed U.S. oil stocks showed mixed moves heading into the weekend after executives told President Donald Trump they’d consider returning to Venezuela only if new legal and security assurances are in place. Exxon Mobil rose 1.4%, Chevron climbed 1.8%, while ConocoPhillips dropped 1.2%. Oilfield services players SLB and Halliburton gained roughly 1.8% and 1.4%, respectively.
