Exxon to Be Watched Monday After Oil Rally and Court Ruling

Exxon to Be Watched Monday After Oil Rally and Court Ruling

Exxon Mobil goes into Monday trading close to last week’s highs. The stock got a boost Friday as crude oil climbed and energy names moved up. A Texas jury verdict also took one legal risk off the table for the largest U.S. oil producer. Exxon shares ended Friday at $157.92, higher than $152.78 on Thursday and $149.68 at Monday’s close, based on the company’s historical price page with LSEG numbers. Trading hit 27.9 million shares Friday, making it the week’s busiest session.

Exxon shares head into Monday after oil jumps, court win in hand

Exxon Mobil heads into the weekend trading at $157.92 after shares got a boost Friday from higher crude prices and a Texas jury verdict in the company’s favor in a years-old investor lawsuit. Exxon’s stock price data shows gains every day this week, finishing up 5.5% from Monday’s close. U.S. cash equities won’t open again until Monday, so timing is at play. The New York Stock Exchange trades from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Eastern on regular days. Traders now have to price Exxon off oil futures, bond moves, and Middle East news until stocks reopen.

Exxon, Chevron And 4 U.S. Energy Stocks To Watch Today As Oil Spikes On Iran Risk

Exxon, Chevron And 4 U.S. Energy Stocks To Watch Today As Oil Spikes On Iran Risk

Energy shares in the U.S. surged to lead the market Friday, thanks to a more than 3% spike in oil prices. Exxon Mobil, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, Occidental Petroleum, SLB, and Halliburton all landed on the day’s watch list ahead of the New York session. Brent crude moved up to $109.19 a barrel by 0925 GMT, Reuters said, with West Texas Intermediate reaching $104.89. After meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, President Donald Trump warned that his patience with Iran was wearing thin. Vandana Hari, who runs Vanda Insights, noted attention had shifted squarely back to the current deadlock and the heightened risk of military flare-ups close to the Strait of Hormuz.

Energy Stocks Today: Exxon Stands Out as Oil Above $100 Runs Into Fed Fears

Energy Stocks Today: Exxon Stands Out as Oil Above $100 Runs Into Fed Fears

Late Wednesday, U.S. energy names split direction. Exxon Mobil managed a slight 0.4% gain, but Chevron dropped 0.5% and ConocoPhillips shed 0.6%. Oil stuck above $100 a barrel, but concerns about inflation and interest rates kept enthusiasm in check. The Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund slipped 0.1% as of 2:59 p.m. EDT. The split is significant—energy stocks aren’t just tracking crude prices anymore. Brent and U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude held above $100, though oil edged down during the session. According to Reuters, traders digested the prospect of U.S. rate hikes and eyed the Trump-Xi meeting in Beijing.

Oil Slips, but the Real Trade Is Still Hormuz Risk

Oil Slips, but the Real Trade Is Still Hormuz Risk

Brent crude edged lower Wednesday, trimming gains from a strong three-day surge as markets tracked two major factors: a shaky ceasefire in the Middle East and the Trump-Xi summit in Beijing later this week. According to Reuters, Brent eased 0.2% to $107.58 per barrel, with WTI slipping 0.4% to $101.79. Both contracts hovered around the $100 mark—a level that’s dominated trading since the Iran war choked off most flows through the Strait of Hormuz. This shift is notable—supply hasn’t suddenly improved. It’s just a pause. After prices surged over 3% on Tuesday, with optimism around a ceasefire quickly fading, some traders booked profits and stepped back, watching for signs that China might help break the deadlock. The chart shows prices dipped, yet actual supply remains constrained on the ground.

Indiana Gas Prices Near $5 as Refinery Outage, Iran War Hit Drivers

Indiana Gas Prices Near $5 as Refinery Outage, Iran War Hit Drivers

Gas prices in Indiana surged close to the $5 mark on Thursday, sending the state’s average for regular unleaded soaring past the national figure. Stations across northern and central Indiana posted pump prices not seen in years. According to AAA, Indiana's average hit $4.417, while the national average stood at $4.300. It’s landing during a brief state fuel-tax break—rather than after—so the timing’s sharp. Oil prices are already on the upswing, with restricted shipping through the Strait of Hormuz rattling global supply; that’s the key Gulf corridor for nearly 20% of the world’s oil and LNG. On top of that, fuel supplies in the Midwest are getting squeezed after issues at the Whiting refinery.

Gas Prices Hit $4.30: Why America’s Oil Boom Isn’t Saving Drivers

New York — April 30, 2026, 08:01 EDT Gasoline across the U.S. jumped to an average of $4.30 a gallon on Thursday—marking the priciest level since almost four years back. A mix of the Iran war, shrinking fuel inventories, and refinery snags forced crude costs higher, feeding straight into pump prices. That’s piling extra strain on consumers right ahead of peak summer driving.

Best Energy Stocks to Buy Today: 5 Oil Stocks in Focus as Brent Tops $110

Best Energy Stocks to Buy Today: 5 Oil Stocks in Focus as Brent Tops $110

Oil jumping past $110 a barrel is giving big energy stocks fresh momentum. Exxon Mobil, Chevron, and ConocoPhillips—those are the U.S. names traders are eyeing first today. Brent crude gained close to 3% as U.S.-Iran negotiations stalled out, leaving the Strait of Hormuz mostly closed off. “The market was rapidly repricing geopolitical risk,” said Rystad Energy’s Jorge Leon. This time, the oil shock isn’t confined to energy names. U.S. stock-index futures slipped early Tuesday, with traders eyeing the chance that stubbornly high crude prices might stick around. Oil is still running 54% above where it stood before the war, according to Reuters. Ameriprise strategist Anthony Saglimbene flagged geopolitical events as an “active and important variable” in current risk management.

Oil Price Week Ahead: Why Brent and WTI Face a Fresh Hormuz Shock

Oil Price Week Ahead: Why Brent and WTI Face a Fresh Hormuz Shock

Oil’s Friday bounce didn’t last long. By Monday, fresh pressure crept in after U.S. President Donald Trump leveled accusations that Iran broke a ceasefire, while Reuters flagged renewed delays for tankers in the Strait of Hormuz. So, crude’s direction at the open rests with Gulf news flow, not supply numbers. Timing proved critical here, with traders recently slashing the war premium—the extra cost built in for supply risk—once Iran announced the strait was open to commercial traffic. Brent finished Friday off $9.01, or 9.07%, at $90.38 a barrel. U.S. West Texas Intermediate lost even more ground, down $10.48, or 11.45%, to $83.85. SEB Research’s Ole Hvalbye pointed out that Europe’s market would remain tight for now, since Gulf barrels need about 21 days to reach Rotterdam. Tamas Varga at PVM Oil Associates flagged the risk that shipments could halt again if sanctions and nuclear negotiations stall.

Oil Prices Plunge, Dow Jones Jumps After Iran Reopens Strait of Hormuz (Reuters)

Oil Prices Plunge, Dow Jones Jumps After Iran Reopens Strait of Hormuz (Reuters)

Oil tumbled Friday, with Brent at about $88.90 a barrel and U.S. crude circling $83.08, after Iran confirmed the Strait of Hormuz would stay open to commercial ships throughout the 10-day ceasefire period—tempering anxiety over prolonged supply risks. Wall Street responded: S&P 500 and Nasdaq both notched new records, and the Dow added over 2% by midday in New York. This shift is significant: roughly 20% of global oil and LNG moves through the Strait of Hormuz, that tight corridor between Iran and Oman. Since Feb. 28, shipping there has dropped 97%, essentially grinding to a halt. Traders responded by tacking on a risk premium — factoring in serious disruption threats instead of assuming routine shipments.

NEW YORK, April 17, 2026, 01:11 PM EDT Stocks pushed higher Friday, with both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite touching new intraday peaks. The Dow Jones Industrial Average also climbed, marking its strongest level in over two months. The rally followed news from Iran confirming the Strait of Hormuz would stay open to commercial ships during a planned 10-day truce. James Reilly, economist at Capital Economics, described the announcement as a “significant and necessary step” toward a possible end to the conflict.

Oil Prices Hold Near $95 as Brent, WTI Weigh Hormuz Risk Against Fresh U.S.-Iran Peace Hopes (Reuters)

Oil Prices Hold Near $95 as Brent, WTI Weigh Hormuz Risk Against Fresh U.S.-Iran Peace Hopes (Reuters)

Oil ended little changed Wednesday. Brent edged up 14 cents to finish at $94.93 a barrel, while U.S. WTI futures ticked just a penny higher, closing at $91.29. Optimism around potential U.S.-Iran talks, along with President Donald Trump saying the war was “close to over,” capped any significant gains. Still, muted tanker movement through the Strait of Hormuz—a crucial route for crude shipments—helped prevent a bigger drop. The Strait of Hormuz handles roughly 20% of the world’s oil and LNG trade. Crude futures dropped under $100 after the recent surge, but there’s still a risk premium built in as tankers aren’t moving through the corridor like usual. Traders are paying up just in case disruptions return.

Stock Market Today: US Futures Slide Before the Bell as Oil Tops $100; Goldman Falls, Exxon and Baker Hughes Rise

U.S. stock futures slipped ahead of Monday’s session as oil surged past the $100 mark—a reaction to stalled U.S.-Iran peace talks over the weekend. Energy names rallied, but banks and travel stocks took a hit. As of 8:32 a.m. ET, Dow futures had dropped 1.06%, S&P 500 futures were off 0.63%, and Nasdaq 100 futures slipped 0.62%. This shift comes right as a packed earnings week kicks off, with traders who were hopeful that last week’s ceasefire could settle nerves now facing fresh uncertainty. By Friday, around 10% of S&P 500 names will have reported, and the street is still looking for first-quarter profit growth near 14%. But with oil prices spiking again, the picture for margins, inflation, and rates is getting muddier.

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.

Stock Market Today: Dow Futures Edge Up, Oil Swings as Trump’s Iran Threats Keep Wall Street on Edge

Stock Market Today: Dow Futures Edge Up, Oil Swings as Trump’s Iran Threats Keep Wall Street on Edge

Stock futures in the U.S. ticked up early Monday, while oil slipped, with investors caught between cease-fire talks in the Iran conflict and President Donald Trump’s fresh warnings to Tehran. S&P 500 futures picked up around 0.3%. Nasdaq contracts climbed too. Brent crude hovered at about $108 a barrel—trading was thin coming off the holiday. Here’s the crux: About a fifth of the world’s oil moves through the Strait of Hormuz. Any fresh turmoil there could quickly drive up fuel prices, ramping up inflation. JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon has already warned this could result in “stickier inflation” and possibly interest rates that overshoot what traders are pricing in.

Exxon Stock Sinks 5%, Wiping Out $36 Billion as Oil Slide Jolts Energy Shares

Exxon Stock Sinks 5%, Wiping Out $36 Billion as Oil Slide Jolts Energy Shares

Exxon Mobil dropped 5.2% to finish at $160.78, dragging U.S. energy shares lower as oil declined on hopes the U.S. might soon deescalate with Iran. The slide wiped out roughly $36 billion in Exxon's market value—its worst single-day loss since 2008, according to Dow Jones Market Data cited by the Wall Street Journal. Chevron slipped 4.6%, while ConocoPhillips ended down 2.7%. The reversal stood out because energy had been one of the rare bright spots for Wall Street in an otherwise tough quarter. Sherwood noted the S&P 500 energy sector jumped 10% in March and finished the first quarter up 37%. Numbers from Yahoo Finance showed the Energy Select Sector SPDR climbed 37.9% for the year through March 31. Barron’s reported Exxon and Chevron shares spiked 41% and 36%, respectively, in the quarter leading up to Wednesday’s selloff.

Natural Gas Price Today: Europe Gas Holds Near €54 as EU Rushes to Protect Winter Supply

Natural Gas Price Today: Europe Gas Holds Near €54 as EU Rushes to Protect Winter Supply

Europe’s benchmark natural gas price stuck close to 54 euros per megawatt hour on Monday, with EU energy ministers scrambling for emergency talks on supply and storage after Middle East tensions drove gas sharply higher. The Dutch TTF hub—Europe’s key benchmark—sits well above where it was in late February, though officials insist short-term flows remain steady. Why does it matter now? Europe’s heading into storage-refill season, but inventories are still running light. Brussels is urging countries to start pumping gas into caverns early after a more than 70% spike in prices since Feb. 28. Reuters, citing last week’s data, put EU storage at just 28% full on average.

Dow Jones Index Today: Dow Jumps 300 Points as Wall Street Tries to Shake Off Correction

On Monday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped over 300 points, recovering a portion of last week’s decline after President Donald Trump announced the U.S. was engaged in “serious discussions” to resolve the dispute with Iran. This uptick landed despite an escalation in fighting over the weekend. The rebound takes on significance after Friday’s rout dragged the Dow down 10% from its Feb. 10 record close, pushing it into correction territory. Brent crude sticking close to $113 a barrel and U.S. crude holding above $101 added to the pressure. Investors sizing up this week’s March payrolls and labor figures are left weighing whether the U.S. economy is ready for another energy jolt.

Gas Prices Near $4 a Gallon in U.S. as Iran War Sends Oil Above $119

Gasoline prices in the U.S. edged close to $4 a gallon on Thursday, as Brent crude made a short-lived jump above $119 a barrel following Iranian strikes on Gulf energy sites that rattled markets with fresh supply shock concerns. AAA reported the average price for regular gas at $3.884, an uptick from $3.842 the previous day. Here’s why this stands out right now: Gasoline jumps off the price board for consumers, and it’s not just at the pump anymore. Diesel broke above $5 a gallon this week—only the second time on record—putting extra pressure on trucking and industry. That kind of move raises the prospect of steeper transport costs winding up in broader consumer prices.
