Shell stock rises as buyback keeps ticking — what to watch before earnings
Shell’s U.S.-listed shares closed Tuesday 2.1% higher at $73.18, buoyed by stronger energy sector momentum following a fourth consecutive rise in crude prices.

Chevron will be in focus during the next U.S. session after Energy Secretary Chris Wright revealed that Washington is rushing to expand the company’s Venezuela license. The update would allow Chevron to pay the Venezuelan government in cash and sell all the oil it produces there. “So they become immediately, another marketer of crude as well,” Wright explained. Chevron shares closed Friday nearly flat, up 0.1% at $166.26.
