Amazon takes number one spot on 2026 Fortune 500; regional shifts seen

Amazon has taken the No. 1 spot on the 2026 Fortune 500, Fortune said, unseating Walmart after 13 years at the top. The change put Amazon ahead for the first time in more than a decade and drove shifts in regional tallies for Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New England. Fortune’s 72nd annual list put the collective revenue at $21.0 trillion, with profits at $2.1 trillion and a workforce of 30.5 million worldwide.

Venezuela oil deal puts Chevron, Valero and PBF in focus before the U.S. open

Venezuela oil deal puts Chevron, Valero and PBF in focus before the U.S. open

Chevron fell 4.4% in premarket trading after President Donald Trump said the United States had reached a deal to import up to $2 billion of Venezuelan crude — roughly 30 million to 50 million barrels — to be sold at market prices. Valero, Marathon Petroleum, Phillips 66 and PBF Energy were down between 1.2% and 7.7%, while Canadian Natural Resources and Cenovus slipped about 2% and Baker Hughes rose 0.6%. Chevron controls Venezuelan oil flows to the United States under a U.S. authorization and has been exporting 100,000 to 150,000 barrels per day, while traders said the prospect of added supply pushed some U.S. Gulf heavy-crude differentials — the price gap to benchmark grades — about 50 cents lower on Tuesday.
