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.

Warren Buffett Steps Back as Berkshire Hathaway’s $397 Billion Cash Pile Puts Greg Abel on the Spot

On Saturday, Greg Abel stepped in front of Berkshire Hathaway shareholders for his debut as chief executive, just hours after the conglomerate posted a jump in quarterly operating earnings, along with a record cash hoard nearing $400 billion. This year, Warren Buffett stepped aside—still chairman, but in the crowd—leaving Greg Abel at the helm for Berkshire’s annual gathering in Omaha. Sixty years of Buffett’s direction, and now the company’s culture and capital discipline are in Abel’s hands. Since Buffett named Abel as his successor last year, Berkshire shares have trailed the S&P 500 by 39 percentage points, according to Reuters.

Stock Market Today: Dow Futures Edge Up, Oil Swings as Trump’s Iran Threats Keep Wall Street on Edge

Stock Market Today: Dow Futures Edge Up, Oil Swings as Trump’s Iran Threats Keep Wall Street on Edge

Stock futures in the U.S. ticked up early Monday, while oil slipped, with investors caught between cease-fire talks in the Iran conflict and President Donald Trump’s fresh warnings to Tehran. S&P 500 futures picked up around 0.3%. Nasdaq contracts climbed too. Brent crude hovered at about $108 a barrel—trading was thin coming off the holiday. Here’s the crux: About a fifth of the world’s oil moves through the Strait of Hormuz. Any fresh turmoil there could quickly drive up fuel prices, ramping up inflation. JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon has already warned this could result in “stickier inflation” and possibly interest rates that overshoot what traders are pricing in.

Occidental Petroleum Stock Swings After $74 Target Boost as Oil Whiplash Tests Rally

Occidental Petroleum Stock Swings After $74 Target Boost as Oil Whiplash Tests Rally

Stephens bumped its price target on Occidental Petroleum up to $74 from the previous $59, setting a notably higher bar for the stock. Yet the upgrade came as Occidental shares slid 4.26% to $62.23 on Wednesday, underscoring just how fast the mood on the name can shift. The timing here is key: Occidental shares have started behaving less like those of a typical big oil firm and more like a ticker for headlines out of the Middle East. On Wednesday, oil prices sank—investors seemed to think the Iran situation might ease off—pushing the S&P 500 energy index down 3.9%. But by Thursday, both Brent and U.S. crude had rallied above $109 again after President Donald Trump vowed to keep up U.S. strikes on Iran.

Debt’s come down by $5.8 billion since mid-December.

U.S. Stock Market Today: Wall Street Beats Global Peers as Iran War Sends Oil Prices Higher

U.S. Stock Market Today: Wall Street Beats Global Peers as Iran War Sends Oil Prices Higher

U.S. stock index futures slipped ahead of Friday’s open, with the war involving Iran continuing to lift oil prices and stoke inflation fears. Shares of American Airlines dropped around 1% in premarket action, while Marvell Technology surged 12% on the back of a bullish long-term sales outlook. Occidental Petroleum advanced 2%. Despite all this, Wall Street still outperformed both Europe and Asia for the week. The Nasdaq managed to stay positive on the week, bolstered by a turnaround in tech stocks and optimism that the U.S.—thanks to its net oil exporter status—might weather the shock better than others. That’s coming into focus as investors approach Friday's U.S. jobs report, rate-cut expectations already scaled back. Traders have nudged the likely timing of the next Federal Reserve move to September or October, according to LSEG figures cited by Reuters. Now markets are pricing just 40 basis points—0.40 percentage point—of Fed cuts for this year, sharply lower than the 59 basis points in play before the conflict.
