Oil, U.S. stocks brace for Venezuela shock after U.S. raid captures Maduro — what to watch Monday

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 09:31 ET — Market closed Oil markets and U.S. stocks are bracing for a volatile start to the week after the United States captured Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro in an overnight operation that included strikes on military installations, according to President Donald Trump. Trump said Washington would take temporary control of Venezuela as it seeks a political transition.  Reuters The developments matter because Venezuela sits on the world’s largest crude reserves and is a swing factor for heavy oil supplies. Venezuela holds about 303 billion barrels — roughly 17% of global reserves — but production

Top Stocks to Buy Today (Dec. 24, 2025): Nvidia, Amazon, Meta, Reddit, Rocket Lab and More as the S&P 500 Nears 7,000

NEW YORK — U.S. stocks are heading into Christmas Eve trading with a familiar tailwind: big-tech strength, a fresh record close for the S&P 500, and renewed talk of a “Santa Claus rally” as markets head into the final stretch of 2025. The setup comes with one important wrinkle for investors: today is a shortened session, with the NYSE and Nasdaq closing at 1:00 p.m. ET. New York Stock Exchange+2NASDAQ Trader+2 That early close matters because holiday trading tends to amplify two things at once: price sensitivity (moves can look bigger in thin liquidity) and headline-driven volatility (single notes or

Top Stocks to Buy Today: 10 Best U.S. Stock Picks for Dec. 18, 2025 (5:45 a.m. ET)

U.S. stock investors are waking up to a market that suddenly feels a lot less “easy.” After Wednesday’s sharp pullback—driven largely by renewed anxiety over how the AI boom gets financed—today’s pre-market setup (Dec. 18, 2025) looks like a classic stock-picker’s tape: big sector dispersion, heavyweight tech volatility, energy strength tied to geopolitics, and a busy earnings slate that can reset narratives in a single conference call. Reuters This article highlights 10 top stocks to buy today—meaning: high-conviction stocks to consider now, backed by today’s (Dec. 18) news, forecasts, and analyst analysis—plus the key catalysts to watch over the next

Global Stock Market Today: AI-Led Tech Jitters Hit Asia, Europe Turns Cautious Before Central Banks, Micron Lifts U.S. Futures (Dec. 18, 2025)

Updated: 5:00 AM EST (10:00 GMT), Thursday, December 18, 2025 Global equities are starting December 18 on an uneasy footing, with investors reassessing the durability of the AI-fueled rally just as a dense run of central bank decisions and a closely watched U.S. inflation report approach. Overnight, a tech-heavy retreat in the U.S. reverberated across Asia, while early European trading stayed muted with rate decisions due from the Bank of England and the European Central Bank (among others). In U.S. premarket trading, Micron’s strong outlook is helping stabilize sentiment, but markets remain tightly focused on inflation data and policy signals

PepsiCo Stock (PEP): What to Know Before the US Market Opens on Dec. 15, 2025

PepsiCo, Inc. (NASDAQ: PEP) heads into Monday’s session (Dec. 15, 2025; US markets open 9:30 a.m. ET) with investors focused less on “headline growth” and more on whether the company can re-accelerate North America momentum—and do it without sacrificing margins. The near-term backdrop is dominated by one theme: shareholder activism turning into an operating playbook. In just the past two weeks, PepsiCo has moved from reports of settlement talks with activist investor Elliott to laying out a company-backed (and Elliott-supported) set of actions—price investments, portfolio simplification, supply chain and go-to-market review, and cost reductions—alongside preliminary 2026 financial targets.

Updated: Sunday, Dec. 14, 2025 (ahead of Monday’s U.S. open) Eaton Corporation plc (NYSE: ETN) heads into the Dec. 15, 2025 session after a sharp Friday pullback that put the industrial power-management leader back in focus for both long-term investors and short-term traders.

Updated: December 14, 2025 US-listed EV and clean energy leaders enter the new week with a rare mix of tailwinds and tripwires: a fresh Federal Reserve rate cut that should support long-duration growth stocks, a catch-up “data deluge” after the fall government shutdown, and a policy backdrop that’s now the single biggest swing factor for renewables and EV demand. The story of Dec. 8–14 wasn’t just about individual tickers—it was about the new hierarchy of catalysts: (1) US demand signals after the EV tax-credit reset, (2) whether Big Tech’s power appetite accelerates clean power buildouts or pulls capital toward gas

Energy Supermajors US Stocks Week Ahead: Exxon, Chevron, Shell, BP and TotalEnergies Brace for 2026 “Oil Glut” Narratives (Updated Dec. 14, 2025)

Energy supermajors enter the new week with investors torn between two powerful forces: near-term “oversupply” pressure in crude and a steady drumbeat of company-specific catalysts—strategy resets, offshore deal-making, and portfolio moves that can matter as much as oil itself. As U.S. markets reopen on Monday, Dec. 15, the main U.S.-listed supermajors are coming off a choppy commodity week: Exxon Mobil (XOM) $118.82, Chevron (CVX) $149.99, Shell (SHEL) $72.33, BP (BP) $35.26, and TotalEnergies (TTE) $65.75 at the latest close (Friday, Dec. 12).

Defense and aerospace majors head into the week of December 15–19, 2025 with three powerful forces colliding: a new U.S. rate-cut backdrop, a Washington policy catalyst as Congress races toward year-end, and a fast-moving shift in Pentagon priorities toward AI-enabled procurement and production speed. The result is a sector that still looks “defensive” in name, but is increasingly being traded like a mix of industrial momentum + geopolitical hedge + technology platform.

Updated Sunday, December 14, 2025 (market data through the Dec. 12 close). US cybersecurity stocks head into the new week after a volatile stretch that mixed a dovish Federal Reserve rate cut with a sudden risk-off pulse in megacap tech—an uncomfortable combination for a sector that often trades like “defensive growth.” The result: investors are still rewarding high-quality recurring revenue and platform narratives, but they’re also getting more selective on valuation, guidance tone, and “AI spending” second-order effects.

Reuters+1 That setup matters more than usual for this corner of the market.

Updated: December 14, 2025 Cloud computing stocks head into the week of Dec. 15, 2025 with investor attention split between two powerful forces: accelerating AI-driven demand for cloud infrastructure and growing market skepticism about the cost, timing, and margins of that buildout. The past week (Dec. 8–14) delivered a clear message for U.S.-listed cloud names: it’s no longer enough to show strong “AI exposure.” Markets increasingly want proof of profitable growth, durable demand signals, and disciplined capital spending, especially after Oracle’s outlook and spending plans rattled confidence and Broadcom’s margin commentary reignited “AI bubble” fears across technology.

As of Wednesday afternoon, December 10, 2025, major indexes are roughly flat: the Dow hovers around 47,650, the S&P 500 near 6,841, and the Nasdaq modestly lower as traders wait to see whether the Fed delivers a widely expected rate cut and, more importantly, how hawkish Chair Jerome Powell sounds.
