Chevron (NYSE:CVX) Shares Move as Oil Drops and AI Power Pact Lands Before Holiday Week

Chevron shares are on the defensive as the holiday-shortened week starts, weighed by falling crude prices and a fresh AI data center initiative that sent investors back to their models.

Chevron remains linked to crude, but it’s also telling investors these power contracts with tech firms could bring in more stable revenue. That’s steadier cash flow, less tied to oil-price moves.

IRS tax preparer fraud case draws investor attention to 75 million paid returns

IRS tax preparer fraud case draws investor attention to 75 million paid returns

Supreme Court rejects Stephanie Murrin tax case; 75 million paid-preparer e-filed returns in focus The Supreme Court isn’t taking up Stephanie Murrin’s tax dispute, which means investors have a number to keep in mind: 75 million e-filed returns prepared for a fee. The main concern is not widespread fraud, but that fraud by just one tax preparer can leave an IRS assessment open years after the normal three-year audit window closes. Supreme Court rejects Murrin v. Commissioner review, keeps Third Circuit decision The Supreme Court on June 22 declined to take up Murrin v. Commissioner, so the Third Circuit ruling stands. Murrin’s petition had asked if the IRS can bypass the three-year assessment window just because a third party committed fraud—even if the taxpayer neither knew about nor intended the fraud.

The PHLX semiconductor index dropped 5.3% Friday and slid 7.9% for the week, the steepest weekly loss since early April. The S&P 500 slipped 0.05%, finishing at 7,353.95. The Nasdaq closed 0.24% lower at 25,297.62. The Dow lost 0.09% and ended at 51,876.11. “It’s too early to conclude that there’s a major correction brewing in tech,” said David Stubbs, chief investment strategist at AlphaCore Wealth Advisory.
