Chevron inherited the pipeline company with its Hess purchase; this deal trades an accounting loss now for lower operating costs in North Dakota and a balance sheet without $3.7 billion of consolidated debt, and the…
Lower oil and lower yields work on different parts of the market: cheaper crude trims revenue for oil producers while easing fuel costs for airlines and freight, and a lower 10-year yield reduces the discount applied…
It is another consolidation deal in North American heavy oil at a time when Brent is near $100. Cenovus is paying mostly in cash from its balance sheet and short-term borrowing, and says net debt at the end of 2026…
The 2024 standards would have required owners of coal plants and new gas plants to fit carbon controls or retire units. Removing them changes capital plans at listed utilities and independent power producers with coal…
Fuel is the airlines' largest variable cost and most US carriers do not hedge it, so a move of this size goes straight to operating margins. Cutting flights protects fares on the remaining seats and reduces demand for…
Crude back above $100 raises selling prices for US oil producers and, with a lag, fuel costs for airlines, trucking and shipping companies, cruise lines and chemical and plastics makers that use oil-based feedstock…
The August numbers show energy costs moving back into consumer prices after the summer dip: gasoline directly, and air fares through jet fuel. That is revenue for refiners and for airlines able to pass fuel costs on…

The price floor sets a minimum cost for imported solar hardware. That protects US makers of polysilicon, wafers, cells and modules from cheaper imports, and it raises equipment costs for the companies that buy panels…
The two largest US oil companies show how the Hormuz disruption passed through the Energy sector: higher crude prices lifted production earnings and wider margins lifted refining earnings at the same time. Other US…
Cheaper fuel puts money back in household budgets, which supports spending at retailers, restaurants and travel companies, while it lowers the selling price for refiners and fuel retailers. For banks, insurers and…
Delta is the first big US airline to report each season, so its numbers are read across the group. They show the mechanism at work in the sector: jet fuel, the largest variable cost, rose by about three quarters, and…
Crude is the revenue line for US exploration and production companies and the main cost input for refiners, airlines, truckers and chemical makers, so a slide to pre-war prices cuts both ways across listed sectors. The…
With headline inflation at 4.2% but core still below 3%, the shock was concentrated in fuel, which raises costs for airlines, truckers and delivery companies and eats into lower-income households' discretionary…
A fuel-driven jump in headline inflation squeezes household budgets, which matters most for retailers, restaurants and travel companies whose customers are paying more at the pump. Because core inflation stayed…
