US Equity Indexes Advance This Week as AI-Trade Boosts Technology While Iran Ceasefire Continues

US equity indexes rose this week as quarterly earnings showed the benign effect of artificial intelligence on corporate results, sending the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite to new highs amid a fragile ceasefire.* The S&P 500 closed at 7,398.93 on Friday versus 7,230.12 a week ago. The Nasdaq Composite stood at about 26,247.07, compared with 25,114.44 a week earlier. The Dow Jones Industrial Average ended at 49,609.16, versus 49,499.27 at the end of last week.* Technology, consumer cyclicals, and communication services were among the top five sectors. Energy led the decliners.* In a category of stocks with a market capitalization of more than $200 billion, firms with the heaviest of weights and sway in indexes, all but one were semiconductor companies with a weekly gain of at least 11%, according to data compiled by Finviz. The lone exception was Oracle (ORCL), up 14%.* "It's crystal clear to us that the AI Revolution is accelerating at a warp speed pace with 2026 being an inflection point year for AI with hyperscalers now investing over $700 billion in capex in FY26 to capitalize on the opportunities in the space," Daniel Ives, global head of technology at Wedbush Securities, said in a note Thursday.* In the same category of mega-caps, the five worst performers included Shell (SHEL), Exxon (XOM), and Chevron (CVX), down at least 5% each.* The US expects a response on Friday from Iran on a proposal to end the war, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said, adding he hopes "it's a serious offer," CNN reported.* According to President Donald Trump, the Iran ceasefire remains in effect, after US forces disabled two Iranian-flagged unladen oil tankers on Friday that were attempting to dock at an Iranian port on the Gulf of Oman in violation of the US blockade. Iran has created a government agency to vet and tax vessels seeking passage through the Strait of Hormuz, an Associated Press report cited a shipping data company Thursday.

US Land Rig Count Slides as Permian Activity Softens, RBC Says

The US land rig count slides for a second consecutive week, pressured by a pullback in oil-directed drilling, RBC Capital Markets strategists said in a note on Sunday.Total US land rig count fell by six week-on-week to 525, RBC analysts said, citing Baker Hughes. The decline was driven by the oil-directed side of the business, which saw six units sidelined, bringing the total to 389. Gas-oriented activity held steady at 129 rigs.The Permian Basin, the largest US shale region, saw activity edge lower, with the rig count slipping by one to 241. RBC said that the Permian Basin continues to dominate US drilling, accounting for about 62% of oil-directed rigs in the Lower 48 and 47% of total land rigs.The most active drilling companies in the Permian are Helmerich & Payne (HP) with 88 rigs, Patterson-UTI Energy (PTEN) with 32 rigs, and Nabors Industries (NBR) with 29 rigs. Exxon Mobil (XOM) led the operators with 34 rigs, followed by Occidental (OXY) with 20 and ConocoPhillips (COP) with 17.Eagle Ford activity climbed one rig to 43, while the Williston Basin was unchanged at 28. Gas-focused regions showed modest strength, with the Haynesville Shale gaining two rigs to 58, while Appalachian Basin activity held flat at 37.RBC said that private operators continue to play a significant role in key basins, though their share of activity has declined in some areas. Private firms in the Permian accounted for 39% of active rigs, down from 43% a year earlier, while in the Eagle Ford their share fell to 37% from 46%.Private operators, by contrast, still dominate the Haynesville, accounting for about 72% of rigs, unchanged from last year.Price: $124.79, Change: $+1.60, Percent Change: +1.30%

Market Chatter: Oil Markets Likely to Pivot Higher as Reserves Dwindle With Hormuz Strait Closed

Crude oil markets may be on the verge of pivoting towards a period of sustained higher prices with the Strait of Hormuz now closed for more than two months, some of America's biggest oil companies are warning, Bloomberg reported on Friday.Global stockpiles, strategic reserves and volumes stored on vessels before Feb. 28 -- the start of Iran war -- are now steadily being used up, according to Exxon Mobil (XOM), Chevron (CVX) and ConocoPhillips (COP).These supplies have been providing a buffer against higher prices in the last two months but are now running low, said Chevron Chief Financial Officer Eimear Bonner in an interview on Friday with Bloomberg TV."A lot of the inventory and spare capacity has been depleted already," Bonner said. "There's very little of the buffer left."Bloomberg notes that at just above $100 per barrel, oil prices are far from record levels, even with a key through-route for about a fifth of the world's oil and gas closed for now more than two months.When current reserves run out, prices are likely to reflect the increased imbalance between supply and demand quite quickly, said Exxon CEO Darren Woods on a call with analysts on Friday, Bloomberg reported."It's obvious to most that if you look at the unprecedented disruption and the world's supply of oil and natural gas, the market hasn't seen the full impact of that yet," he said. "There's more to come if the strait remains closed."ConocoPhillips Chief Financial Officer Andy O'Brien describes the increases in oil prices since the global energy crisis began as merely a "grace period" because ships that crossed the Strait of Hormuz took weeks more to deliver their cargoes, buffering the supply impact.Crude markets have been in a "grace period" since late February until now because ships loaded before the war take weeks to complete their journeys and so have still been delivering cargoes, O'Brien said on a call with analysts Thursday."Now, all of those have reached their destination," he said. "The impacts of the lost supply is going to start to become more apparent," he said, predicting that "critical shortages" would appear in import-dependent countries by June or July.The Bloomberg article made reference to a JPMorgan Chase (JPM) note by analyst Natasha Kaneva which said that developed countries would fall to their lowest ever by September if the strait remains closed and force consumption lower.has contacted the three oil companies to confirm the comments.(Market Chatter news is derived from conversations with market professionals globally.

Big Oil Warns of Further Price Surge as Hormuz Disruption Drains Buffers

Exxon Mobil (XOM), Chevron (CVX) and ConocoPhillips (COP) have warned that global energy markets may face further price increases as supply buffers are rapidly being depleted amid the ongoing Strait of Hormuz disruption, Bloomberg reported on Friday.Executives said inventories, strategic reserves and floating storage have helped cushion prices so far, but those supplies are now running low, reducing the market's ability to absorb prolonged supply shocks.Chevron's CFO told Bloomberg that much of the spare capacity has already been used, leaving limited leeway if the disruption continues, while Exxon's CEO warned markets have yet to fully reflect the scale of the supply hit.With roughly a fifth of global oil and LNG flows typically passing through the strait, companies indicated that a prolonged closure could push crude prices significantly higher.

Nasdaq, S&P 500 Log Record Finish, Extend Streak of Weekly Gains

The Nasdaq Composite and the S&P 500 reached new peaks on Friday, scoring their fifth consecutive weekly gains.The Nasdaq Composite rose 0.9% to 25,114.4, while the S&P 500 advanced 0.3% to 7,230.1, both notching record closing highs.

Late Thursday, the tech giant logged fiscal second-quarter results above Wall Street's estimates as iPhone revenue came in stronger than expected.Apple's fiscal third-quarter revenue guidance was well above the Street's estimates despite supply constraints for Mac models that will likely continue for several months, Wedbush Securities said in a note.Several other tech names advanced, with Oracle (ORCL) up 6.5%, among the top gainers on the S&P 500, while Salesforce (CRM) climbed 4.1%, the best performer on the Dow.

Exxon shares fell 1%, while Chevron lost 1.4%.West Texas Intermediate crude oil was down 2.7% at $102.20 per barrel in Friday late-afternoon trade, while Brent dropped 1.7% to $108.57. Both benchmarks, however, were on track for their second consecutive weekly advance."Brent crude remains elevated after touching a fresh wartime high late in April, supported by worsening physical tightness and rising concern about outright shortages in some regions," Saxo Bank Head of Commodity Strategy Ole Hansen said in a report. "The near closure of the Strait of Hormuz continues to prolong a disruption that is steadily tightening global energy markets, with flows through one of the world's most important oil arteries still severely restricted."US President Donald Trump said he is displeased with a new peace offer from Iran, CNBC reported Friday.Israel struck the Habbouch town in southern Lebanon, CNN reported, citing Lebanon's health ministry.US Treasury yields were mixed, with the 10-year rate up 1.3 basis points at 4.39% and the two-year rate little changed at 3.88%.In economic news, the US manufacturing sector saw continued growth in April, though inflationary pressures intensified amid disruptions caused by the Middle East conflict, separate surveys by the Institute for Supply Management and S&P Global (SPGI) showed.Three Federal Reserve officials who wanted language changes in the April monetary policy statement said Friday that risks to inflation and employment didn't warrant an inclusion of the so-called easing bias.On Wednesday, regional presidents Beth Hammack of Cleveland, Neel Kashkari of Minneapolis and Lorie Logan of Dallas supported the Fed's decision to keep its benchmark lending rate steady, but opposed including an easing bias in the Federal Open Market Committee statement.Gold was down 0.1% at $4,623.30 per troy ounce, while silver climbed 2.6% to $75.95 per ounce.

Research Alert: CFRA Keeps Hold Opinion On Shares Of Exxon Mobil Corporation

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:Our 12-month target of $167, up $1, reflects EV/EBITDA and DCF analyses. We apply an 8.2x multiple of EV to est. 2027 EBITDA - above XOM's historical forward average but below peak levels - yielding $125 per share. Our DCF model, using medium-term free cash flow growth of 5.6% per year, terminal growth of 2.5%, discounted at a WACC of 5.9%, yields $209 per share. We cut our 2026 EPS estimate by $1.43 to $9.21 and 2027's by $0.66 to $8.07. XOM's upstream production fell 8.2% sequentially in Q1, notably in Asia, where liquids production was down 21% and natural gas production was down 31%. Some of that decline is due to damage to Qatar LNG installations that have been damaged and are likely to take three to five years to restore to pre-war condition. Absent those issues as well as Winter Storm Fern, XOM noted that its upstream production would have grown 8% in Q1. We see ongoing strength in downstream margins, but the main catalysts should be volume recovery in Asia and crude oil prices.
