Crescent Energy CoCrescent Energy jumped as Trump's rejection of Iran's Strait of Hormuz proposal tightened crude supply and lifted oil prices, expanding cash flow for shale E&P.
Energy stocks rose in pre-market trading after President Donald Trump rejected an Iranian proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, sending crude oil prices sharply higher. International benchmark Brent crude climbed more than 3% to top $107 a barrel, according to Reuters, extending supply concerns across a chokepoint that historically handles a fifth of global petroleum shipments. Chevron, Exxon Mobil, and the Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund traded higher in pre-market indications, while refiners Valero Energy, Marathon Petroleum, and Phillips 66 advanced overnight alongside rising diesel futures. Among individual movers, U.S. shale exploration and production company Crescent Energy jumped 2.6%, and mixed or offshore upstream exploration and production company Kosmos Energy jumped 2.8%. Sustained crude above $100 expands cash-flow projections for upstream producers, according to Bloomberg, but refiners face headwinds after Trump said the administration is considering a ban on diesel exports to lower domestic fuel costs, which could force refinery run cuts, according to Reuters.
