Trump’s Venezuela Oil Move Sends Chevron, Refiners Jumping as Crude Holds Steady

NEW YORK, Jan 5, 2026, 09:25 (EST) U.S. energy shares surged in pre-market trading on Monday after President Donald Trump pledged to unlock Venezuela’s oil reserves following the U.S. capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.

S&P 500, Nasdaq futures climb as Venezuela takedown lifts Chevron and puts AI back in focus

New York, Jan 5, 2026, 09:21 (EST) — Premarket U.S. stock index futures rose on Monday, led by energy shares after the United States captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro in a military operation that investors see as a potential turning point for access to the country’s oil.
