Phillips 66 stock in focus after U.S. strikes Venezuela and Maduro’s capture raises oil-supply questions

NEW YORK, Jan 3, 2026, 18:26 ET — Market closed Phillips 66 shares are set to be in focus when U.S. markets reopen after President Donald Trump said U.S. forces attacked Venezuela and captured President Nicolas Maduro on Saturday. Maduro is expected to appear in Manhattan federal court on Monday and the U.N. Security Council is due to meet over the U.S. action, Reuters reported.  Reuters The developments matter for refiners because Venezuela’s crude is predominantly heavy oil — a thicker, lower-quality grade that many complex Gulf Coast refineries are built to process. Shifts in heavy-crude availability can quickly move

NEW YORK, January 3, 2026, 6:30 PM ET — Market closed Valero Energy Corp shares will be in focus when U.S. markets reopen on Monday after the United States attacked Venezuela and captured President Nicolas Maduro on Saturday, U.S. President Donald Trump said. The move matters for Valero because Washington’s action has tightened the screws on Venezuela’s oil flows, a source of heavy crude used by U.S. Gulf Coast refineries. Venezuela’s oil exports are now paralyzed, with port captains not authorizing loaded tankers to depart, four sources close to operations said. With the market closed for the weekend, Valero (VLO)

Phillips 66 stock forecast: PSX faces oil-price test after U.S. strikes Venezuela

NEW YORK, Jan 3, 2026, 06:53 ET — Market closed President Donald Trump said the United States carried out a “large scale strike” in Venezuela and captured President Nicolas Maduro, a shock escalation that traders expect to reverberate across oil and energy shares when U.S. markets reopen.  Reuters With Wall Street shut for the weekend, Phillips 66 investors are left to handicap the first oil-price reaction and any policy follow-through before Monday’s cash session. Why it matters now: Venezuela is a major crude producer, and conflict risk can quickly reprice supply expectations. For refiners such as Phillips 66, abrupt swings

Marathon Petroleum stock forecast: MPC in focus after U.S. strikes Venezuela, oil supply fears loom

NEW YORK, Jan 3, 2026, 06:58 ET — Market closed Marathon Petroleum (MPC) heads into the new week with investors bracing for volatility after the United States struck Venezuela overnight and President Donald Trump said Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro was captured and flown out of the country.  Reuters Why it matters now: Marathon is a major U.S. refiner, and its shares tend to react less to crude prices alone than to refining margins — the gap between what refiners pay for crude and what they earn selling fuels. A geopolitical shock can move both sides of that equation quickly when

Venezuela attack: Chevron, Exxon, refiners and defense stocks to watch as markets reopen

NEW YORK, January 3, 2026, 06:04 ET — Market closed U.S. President Donald Trump said the United States struck Venezuela overnight and captured President Nicolás Maduro, setting up a sharp focus on energy and defense names when U.S. markets reopen on Monday.  Reuters The escalation lands as investors enter a new year already fixated on oil supply policy and the risk that geopolitics adds an extra “risk premium” — an extra cushion in prices to reflect potential disruptions.  Reuters Venezuela’s government declared a national emergency after explosions in Caracas and other states, while a U.S. official said Maduro was captured

NEW YORK — December 16, 2025 (early afternoon ET): U.S. energy stocks are under pressure in Tuesday’s session as crude oil breaks to fresh multi-year lows, dragging down the sector’s biggest names—integrated majors, shale producers, and oilfield services—while refiners also slump as fuel prices weaken.
