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.

Chevron (NYSE:CVX) Shares Move as Oil Drops and AI Power Pact Lands Before Holiday Week

Chevron (NYSE:CVX) Shares Move as Oil Drops and AI Power Pact Lands Before Holiday Week

Chevron shares are on the defensive as the holiday-shortened week starts, weighed by falling crude prices and a fresh AI data center initiative that sent investors back to their models. Chevron finished Friday at $171.06, down $1.18, or 0.69%, with about 13.1 million shares changing hands. The oil-stock play isn’t clear-cut right now. Chevron remains linked to crude, but it’s also telling investors these power contracts with tech firms could bring in more stable revenue. That’s steadier cash flow, less tied to oil-price moves.

Dow Jones (.DJI) Gains as Alphabet Drags on Nasdaq

Dow Jones Industrial Average finished up on Monday, outperforming the S&P 500 and Nasdaq as traders moved into industrials and banks and took profits in Alphabet and other big tech stocks. The Dow added 145.10 points to end at 51,709.80 after the closing bell. It was the index's first full day of trading since the Juneteenth market holiday on Friday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average works unlike the Nasdaq. The Dow has 30 stocks and is price-weighted—stocks with higher prices swing it more, even if they’re smaller companies. That design let the Dow hold up better than tech this week.

Caterpillar’s AI power trade gets fresh proof as Microsoft-Chevron deal taps Solar Turbines

IRVING, Texas, June 22, 2026, 11:03 CDT Caterpillar was pulled deeper into the artificial-intelligence power trade on Monday after Chevron said a Caterpillar unit would help supply capacity for Project Kilby, a 2.67-gigawatt natural-gas power development tied to a Microsoft-operated data center in West Texas. The project gives the heavy-equipment maker a concrete place in one of the largest U.S. co-located power-and-compute plans disclosed so far.

Microsoft Shares in Focus After Chevron AI Deal Raises Capex Questions

Microsoft pressed its push to secure AI growth on Monday, as Chevron took on a 20-year power deal for a West Texas data center that Microsoft says will get about 2 gigawatts of extra capacity. That’s become relevant as the market shifts its stance on Microsoft. Instead of a pure software name, investors have started splitting on what comes next—some bullish on Microsoft’s push as an enterprise AI play, others leaning bearish, with software stocks in general possibly setting up for a “massive topping pattern,” according to Kevin Dempter at Renaissance Macro Research in comments to Barron’s.

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

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.

Iran War Oil Prices Drop Below $90 as Peace Deal Hopes Shake Energy Stocks

Iran War Oil Prices Drop Below $90 as Peace Deal Hopes Shake Energy Stocks

Oil prices fell sharply on Friday as hopes for a U.S.-Iran agreement pulled some of the war premium out of crude. Brent crude, the global benchmark used to price much of the world’s oil trade, was down 3.7% at $87.04 a barrel, while West Texas Intermediate, the U.S. benchmark, dropped 3.55% to $84.60, according to Reuters. Both contracts were at their lowest levels since April 17 after U.S. and Iranian officials said they were close to an agreement to halt the war in the Middle East. “The market thinks we’re closer to the deal,” Phil Flynn, senior analyst with Price Futures Group, told Reuters. The move matters for stocks because oil is a direct earnings driver for producers such as Exxon Mobil and Chevron. When crude rises, producers usually earn more per barrel, which can lift cash flow, dividends and buybacks; when crude falls, investors often mark down future profits. But the broader stock market can rise when oil falls because lower fuel costs ease inflation pressure and can support consumers, airlines, transport companies and retailers. On Friday, Exxon Mobil traded near $148.27, up about 1.1%, Chevron traded near $187.96, up about 1.2%, and the Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund,

Dow surges almost 930 points after the bell as oil drops on Iran strike reversal

Dow Jones bounces back after Thursday’s close, gaining 929.60 points, or 1.86%, to finish at 50,848.38. That’s up from Wednesday’s close at 49,918.78. The rebound lifts the index after the previous day’s selloff, but it’s still under last week’s 51,561.93 close for June 4. Stocks picked up speed after President Donald Trump called off planned military strikes on Iran. That move eased some nerves over a wider conflict in the region and helped calm energy markets. Reuters said U.S. stocks were already moving higher after losses on Wednesday, even before Trump’s announcement. Oil prices fell hard after the news.

AI demand and a surge in chip stocks drove those gains, with Micron hitting $1 trillion in market cap after UBS raised its price target. The market had been stretched, but not broken.

Exxon Mobil and Chevron say oil markets aren’t factoring in the full impact from the shutdown of the Strait of Hormuz. Latest reserve and inventory numbers show governments are burning through stockpiles to keep fuel flowing. U.S. government sent out 9.9 million barrels from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve last week, setting a record as the buffer gets smaller. The International Energy Agency said commercial inventories are running down fast, with just “several weeks” left for some reserves.
