Thu, 03 Sep 2026 09:13:18 -0400

Investing.com -- Piper Sandler has lifted its Chevron price target to a Street-high $243 from $207, part of a broader round of estimate increases across its integrated oil and refiner coverage driven by stronger crude and refining margins.

The firm kept its overweight rating on the stock.

Piper marked its commodity assumptions to a revised deck from its energy strategist, "which includes raising our 3Q Brent forecast to $88/bbl from $80/bbl," analyst John Royall wrote, with fourth-quarter Brent now seen at $90 a barrel. Both were previously $80.

Royall also raised refining crack spread forecasts, lifting the firm's third-

Barclays sees reasons to take risk off the table in September

Thu, 03 Sep 2026 06:32:08 -0400

Investing.com -- Barclays strategists believe investors should trim risk exposure heading into September, citing a mix of seasonal weakness, cooling economic momentum and renewed rate and energy pressures, even as they maintain a constructive medium-term view on equities.

In a note, strategist Emmanuel Cau said the summer calm has given way to a choppier backdrop. "Less beta and more tactical hedges seem wise, but a lot of hawkishness is priced in now, while resilient growth & earnings remain a key anchor to the bull market," he wrote.

The bank flagged September's historically poor seasonality, particularly ahead of U.S. midterm elections,

Wed, 02 Sep 2026 10:32:25 -0400

Investing.com -- Bank of America said a reported U.S. move to take control of Venezuelan oil reserves represents a major shift in policy, with ambiguous implications for the country's defaulted debt.

According to reports the bank cited, the U.S. government plans a 25-year arrangement covering 17 oil fields, taking a stake via a partnership between the Department of Defense and Alejandro

Bank of Canada holds rate as tariffs, oil prices cloud outlook

Wed, 02 Sep 2026 10:32:21 -0400

Investing.com -- The Bank of Canada kept its policy rate unchanged on Wednesday as a strengthening domestic economy was weighed against rising inflation risks from elevated oil prices and growing uncertainty over trade with the United States.

The central bank held its overnight rate target at 2.25%, with the Bank Rate at 2.50% and the deposit rate at 2.20%. The decision was in line with its July outlook, but policymakers warned that risks to inflation had increased while new U.S. tariffs had made the growth outlook more uncertain.

Canada’s economy rebounded strongly in the

Investing.com - Brent crude traded above $93 a barrel on Tuesday as U.S. Central Command announced it began striking Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps targets inside Iran at noon ET on September 1, intensifying a conflict that has already choked one of the world’s most critical oil chokepoints.

CENTCOM said on X that the strikes follow recent IRGC attacks on commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and against American service members in the region. CENTCOM spokesman Capt. Tim Hawkins framed the action in terms of freedom of navigation: "Last week, CENTCOM completed cleaning sea mines from the

Trump weighs "mow the lawn" strategy to counter Iran in Strait of Hormuz

Mon, 31 Aug 2026 14:50:36 -0400

Investing.com -- Brent crude traded up 2% on Monday, touching an intraday high of $91.52, after U.S. forces struck two Iranian rocket launchers on Larak Island over the weekend and Iran retaliated with eight ballistic missiles at Jordanian air bases. The exchange of fire has reignited supply-disruption fears over the Strait of Hormuz, which normally carries roughly a fifth of global oil supplies and has been largely closed to commercial traffic since March.

Beyond Sunday’s exchange, the deeper market concern is what comes next in U.S. strategy. Axios reported, citing three U.S. officials, that President Trump and senior
