Motor-oil supplies tighten, raising risk of pricier oil changes

Motor-oil supplies tighten, raising risk of pricier oil changes

Nissan has pulled back a bulletin about possible U.S. motor oil shortages, with the move putting a fresh spotlight on how the Middle East oil shock is filtering into service departments. The automaker told dealers that supplies are currently fine but said things could shift fast, Hearst Television’s Washington News Bureau reported Monday. More than just gasoline is getting squeezed now. Base oil, which makes up most of many lubricants, is getting tighter right as summer driving and auto service pick up. The Independent Lubricant Manufacturers Association says base oils account for about 75% of engine lubricants, with prices moving higher on Middle East conflict, limited Korean refining, and diesel-focused refinery economics.

UK Stock Market Live: FTSE 100 Falls Again as Oil Tops $100 and Labour Losses Hit London Shares

UK Stock Market Live: FTSE 100 Falls Again as Oil Tops $100 and Labour Losses Hit London Shares

London’s FTSE 100 slipped 0.75% to 10,200.29 in early Friday trading, according to delayed figures from Hargreaves Lansdown, as tensions flared again between the U.S. and Iran, sending oil prices up. Growing political uncertainty following UK election results also weighed on Britain’s blue-chip index, setting it up for a second consecutive day of losses. The stakes just jumped: what started as a standard dip has become something else. Iran’s conflict is pushing up fuel prices, stirring inflation bets, and filtering into what companies are telling investors. Early local election numbers are also stirring doubts about Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s hold on power.

Shell’s $16.4 Billion ARC Resources Deal Puts Canada LNG Back in the Spotlight

Shell’s $16.4 Billion ARC Resources Deal Puts Canada LNG Back in the Spotlight

Shell’s move to acquire ARC Resources is thrusting Canada’s Montney shale into the LNG spotlight again. LNG Canada shipped over 1 million metric tons in April—a first for the project in a single month. If the US$16.4 billion deal goes through, Shell will secure more gas near its Pacific Coast terminal, which is already delivering cargoes to Asia. The timing is key: LNG Canada—40% owned by Shell—creates a direct line between western Canadian gas and Asian markets. LNG stands for liquefied natural gas, essentially natural gas cooled into liquid for easier shipping by tanker. Industry voices see the ARC deal as giving more weight to the argument for growing this export channel.

S&P 500 Nears Record as Iran Talk Hopes Sink Oil, Lift Dow and Nasdaq in Earnings Rush

S&P 500 Nears Record as Iran Talk Hopes Sink Oil, Lift Dow and Nasdaq in Earnings Rush

U.S. stocks jumped on Tuesday, pushing the S&P 500 to within 0.2% of its January record close, as falling oil prices and fresh hopes for renewed U.S.-Iran talks pulled investors back into risk assets. The Nasdaq climbed about 2% and logged its longest winning streak since 2021, while the Dow added nearly 318 points. The move matters because Wall Street had been bracing for a longer energy shock after Washington moved to blockade Iranian ports. Instead, President Donald Trump said talks with Tehran could resume in Pakistan within two days, reviving bets on a diplomatic off-ramp and a reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, a key oil shipping lane.

When Will Gas Prices Fall? Iran Ceasefire May Not Bring Quick Relief as Oil Rebounds

When Will Gas Prices Fall? Iran Ceasefire May Not Bring Quick Relief as Oil Rebounds

American motorists shouldn’t expect gas prices to drop soon, despite that two-week U.S.-Iran ceasefire sending oil tumbling earlier in the week. Brent crude bounced back, climbing about 3% on Thursday. Meanwhile, traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has barely budged, signaling that the main supply routes are still largely stalled. The political stakes are as high as the economic ones. Republicans were banking on cheaper oil to relieve voter anxiety ahead of November’s midterms, but AAA pegged the national average for regular gas at $4.166 a gallon on April 9. After the ceasefire, plenty of GOP lawmakers applauded, yet few wanted to talk about the next move for fuel prices, according to E&E News by POLITICO.

Natural Gas Price Today: Europe Gas Falls, but Qatar Shock Keeps Market Tight

Natural Gas Price Today: Europe Gas Falls, but Qatar Shock Keeps Market Tight

European natural gas prices slipped Tuesday, though they’re still sharply higher than a month back. Dutch TTF hovered between 53 and 54 euros per megawatt hour, easing off after briefly clearing 60 euros on Monday. QatarEnergy, meanwhile, declared force majeure on certain long-term LNG deals, citing disruptions it says are out of its hands. This is coming into sharp focus with European storage sitting at 28.5%. Shell’s Wael Sawan warned the region could face shortages “by next month.” Data out Tuesday highlighted a key difference: gas, compared to oil, offers fewer rerouting possibilities and limited storage, raising the risk that supply disruptions hit harder.

Venture Global Stock Price Today: Shares Flat After Settlement Talks, New Vitol LNG Deal

Venture Global Stock Price Today: Shares Flat After Settlement Talks, New Vitol LNG Deal

Venture Global ended the day almost flat, trading at $15.80, a slip of less than 0.1%. CEO Mike Sabel told investors the company is negotiating with customers to resolve ongoing disputes, just as it announced a fresh five-year LNG supply agreement with Vitol. Shares moved between $12.90 and $17.28 throughout Monday’s session. Timing is crucial here. War damage in the Gulf has upended liquefied natural gas markets—natural gas cooled for export—right as Venture Global looks to shed a persistent legal shadow from its shares. According to Reuters, Iranian strikes have slashed about 17% of Qatar’s LNG capacity, and traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, a chokepoint for about 20% of world oil and LNG shipments, has nearly ground to a stop.

Venture Global shares jump after New York judge blocks Shell bid in LNG fight

Venture Global shares jump after New York judge blocks Shell bid in LNG fight

Venture Global, Inc. surged over 8% on Tuesday, rallying after a New York court tossed out Shell’s attempt to overturn an arbitration win for the U.S. LNG company. UBS analyst Manav Gupta weighed in: “We believe the stock price remains depressed due to arbitration overhang. This news will likely be seen as a positive.” Venture Global touched its highest level since Oct. 10, bringing gains this year to more than 87%. BP, Edison, Repsol, and Galp are also in arbitration, with a damages decision still pending in BP’s case. This ruling hits right at a recurring issue for Venture Global: can the company really convert those start-up cargoes into deliveries under contract, or will it face years tangled in disputes? Arbitration happens behind closed doors. The spot market, on the other hand, covers short-term LNG sold at going rates.

Shell stock watch: Oil drops 1% and buyback scrutiny builds before the bell

Shell stock watch: Oil drops 1% and buyback scrutiny builds before the bell

New York, February 9, 2026, 03:01 EST — The market is now closed. Shell’s U.S. shares wrapped up Friday at $75.29, gaining 63 cents, or roughly 0.8%. Come Monday, the stock faces pressure as crude slides—Brent lost 1% early, touching $67.38 a barrel after the U.S. and Iran agreed to extend nuclear talks. “With more talks on the horizon the immediate fear of supply disruptions in the Middle East has eased quite a bit,” said IG market analyst Tony Sycamore.

Shell keeps $3.5bn buyback despite Q4 profit slide — and debt jumps to $45.7bn

Shell keeps $3.5bn buyback despite Q4 profit slide — and debt jumps to $45.7bn

Shell announced on Thursday a new $3.5 billion share buyback and raised its dividend, despite a drop in profit that missed expectations in the final quarter of 2025. This shift is significant since investors long viewed buybacks as the oil sector’s go-to way to deploy cash, despite sliding crude prices and shrinking earnings. Now, the key issue is how long Shell can maintain steady returns without its leverage inching higher.

London, Jan 28, 2026, 07:48 GMT — Premarket Shell shares drew attention ahead of Wednesday’s London open after a court transcript revealed the oil giant is urging a U.S. judge to review communications tied to its legal fight with LNG producer Venture Global.

Shell’s $20 billion Nigeria Bonga bet collides with talk of an Argentina shale exit

Shell’s $20 billion Nigeria Bonga bet collides with talk of an Argentina shale exit

Nigeria’s President Bola Tinubu has given the green light to investment-linked incentives for Shell’s Bonga South West deepwater oil project, following talks with CEO Wael Sawan. Sawan indicated a final investment decision could come by 2027, with projected capital and operating costs around $20 billion. Shell is also eyeing Nigeria’s exploration licence round. Tinubu emphasized these incentives aren’t “blanket concessions” but tied to fresh capital and output. Shell highlighted recent investments in Bonga North and a gas project supplying Nigeria LNG; Exxon Mobil is another Bonga partner. Timing is crucial. After years of stalled investment and declining output, Nigeria is pushing to accelerate major offshore projects. To make it happen, the country is relying on specific fiscal and regulatory adjustments.

Shell stock set for Monday spotlight after Reuters report flags LNG Canada stake-sale talks

London, Jan 18, 2026, 21:45 GMT — The market has closed. Shell starts the week with speculation swirling around its Canadian LNG assets, following a Reuters report that the company is weighing a sale of part of its stake in the LNG Canada project. As the largest shareholder with a 40% share, Shell has reportedly been gauging interest via Rothschild and might sell up to 30% of the venture. Mitsubishi, holding 15%, is also considering its options. On Friday, Shell’s shares in London edged up 0.2% to 2,752.5 pence, while its U.S.-listed ADRs gained 1.1%, closing at $74.25.

  • Electro Optic Systems (ASX:EOS) jumps 5.6% on S&P/ASX 200 move, outlook mixed
    June 30, 2026, 6:57 AM EDT. Shares in Electro Optic Systems Holdings (ASX: EOS) rose 5.6% after the stock was added to both the S&P/ASX 200 and Industrials Sector indices, raising its profile and boosting liquidity. The news could pull in flows from index funds and more institutional money. EOS makes counter drone, laser, and space control tech, aiming to turn defense deals into steady revenue. A recent €10 million investment in a European AI-based drone defense hub fits this plan. Still, the company faces recurring risks around its heavy dependence on big defense contracts and swings in financials. Market forecasts point to A$514.7 million revenue and A$62.6 million earnings by 2029, with some analysts seeing about 26% upside to fair value near A$12.94. But analyst views are split, and the outlook remains unsettled as the story develops.
