Summary

  • Diamondback Energy rose more than 3% in premarket trading, with APA and Occidental up over 2.5%, after Trump said the ceasefire with Iran was over and U.S. oil prices surged.
  • Chevron gained more than 2% and Exxon Mobil 1.5% as traders rotated into oil producers while higher fuel costs hit travel names.
  • Carnival fell 3.5%, Norwegian Cruise Line 3% and United Airlines 3%, reflecting pressure on companies most exposed to rising jet fuel and shipping costs.
  • Elsewhere, weakness persisted in other sectors: Sandisk dropped more than 5.5%, Bath & Body Works fell over 4% after a Goldman downgrade, and Rivian slid nearly 4% after Tuesday's 18% offering-driven selloff.
