In the wake of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/opec">OPEC+&#8217;s weekend decision</a> to increase oil production quotas, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">energy ETFs are back</a> in the spotlight—some surfing the wave of positive sentiment, others protecting against geopolitical uncertainty. As oil prices surged on the U.S.-UK trade relations and potential resolutions to the U.S.-China tariff war, ETFs tracking oil futures and energy stocks have experienced rising volume and volatility.

<ol>
<li>United States Oil Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USO#NYSE">USO</a>) The USO is perhaps the most direct play on crude oil prices. It tracks daily price movements of WTI futures. In the past week, USO has climbed in tandem with WTI's 3%+ rally, and daily trading volumes have surged. But with its exposure to short-term futures, the fund is vulnerable to contango risk, a drag on costs that can cut into returns when longer-dated futures are trading at a premium to near-term contracts. Investors are keen to observe whether the OPEC+ production increase smoothes the front of the curve, lowering the drag. </li>
<li>SPDR S&amp;P Oil &amp; Gas Exploration &amp; Production ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOP#NYSE">XOP</a>) The XOP ETF provides exposure to a basket of upstream energy companies—those that drill, explore, and produce. With CNX Resources (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CNX#NYSE">CNX</a>) and Exxon Mobil Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>) among its holdings, XOP is prone to magnifying the effect of oil price volatility. The ETF advanced more than 3% following the trade deal and production news. That&#8217;s a sign of investor optimism. Exploration companies could gain from stabilized demand and more transparent global trade flows. </li>
<li>ProShares Ultra Bloomberg Crude Oil (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UCO#NYSE">UCO</a>) For the adventurous, UCO offers 2x leveraged exposure to WTI futures&#8217; daily performance. It&#8217;s become popular with short-term speculators attempting to catch news events, such as the OPEC+ output boost or US-Iran nuclear talks. While potentially profitable in robust upswings, UCO can be brutal in reversals, and thus a weapon best reserved for experienced traders. The fund advanced more than 5% on Thursday following the US-UK trade deal.</li>
</ol>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What&#8217;s Going On Today On The Oil Front?</h2>
As the market prices in the possibility of looser supply conditions from OPEC+ and stronger global trade relationships, oil ETFs sit in the middle of this macroeconomic tug-of-war.
OPEC+ said at the weekend it will raise its oil production quotas, speeding the rollback of previous supply cuts as part of its continuing strategy to balance market recovery with geopolitical necessities. The step, which occurs after April production slipped by a small margin due to stoppages in Venezuela, Iraq, and Libya, as discovered by a Reuters Survey, is a measure of the group&#8217;s faith in the resilience of demand as the trade environment looks up. 
In the meantime, wider macroeconomic mood has been given a significant boost by renewed momentum in global trade diplomacy. The<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45293839/trump-starmer-strike-us-uk-trade-deal-steel-cars-beef"> just-announced U.S.-UK trade deal</a>, touted by President Trump as a &#8220;breakthrough,&#8221; is set to cut tariffs on major goods—including a major cut on UK car exports and complete removal of duties on steel and aluminum. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer described the agreement as a &#8220;catalyst for deeper bilateral trade,&#8221; while U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick put new opportunities for American exporters at $5 billion. The good news precedes a high-stakes meeting between <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/05/45290148/oil-bulls-eye-rebound-as-us-china-talks-spark-hope-yardeni">U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and China&#8217;s highest-ranking economic official</a> on May 10 in Switzerland to work out long-standing trade tensions. Collectively, these negotiations are sparking hope that a de-escalation of tariff wars can rekindle world demand, specifically for energy-intensive industries, offering a backstop of support for oil prices and commodity-linked ETFs.
While Citi Research trimmed Brent forecasts to $55 for the next three months, the firm maintained that price levels will stabilize later this year at around $60 per barrel, according to another Reuters report. That is good news for energy-themed ETFs, particularly those with less exposure to futures roll costs and more diversification throughout the oil value chain.

Smart Money Is Betting Big In XOM Options

Exxon Mobil Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>) on Wednesday inked a long-term offtake deal with Marubeni Corporation.
As per the deal, Marubeni will purchase around 250,000 tonnes of low-carbon ammonia annually from ExxonMobil&#8217;s Baytown, Texas facility.
This <a href="https://investor.exxonmobil.com/company-information/press-releases/detail/1185/marubeni-and-exxonmobils-low-carbon-ammonia-deal-marks">facility</a> is projected to produce near carbon-free hydrogen, capturing approximately 98% of CO2, which will then be used to create low-carbon ammonia.

ExxonMobil&#8217;s planned facility in Baytown, Texas, is projected to become the world&#8217;s largest of its kind upon its startup. It will have the capacity to produce up to 1 billion cubic feet of near carbon-free hydrogen daily (with approximately 98% of CO2 captured) and over 1 million tons of low-carbon ammonia annually. 
The final investment decision for this landmark project is anticipated in 2025, contingent upon favorable government policies and the necessary regulatory approvals.
Additionally, Marubeni has agreed to acquire an ownership stake in ExxonMobil&#8217;s low-carbon hydrogen and ammonia production facility.
Barry Engle, president of ExxonMobil Low Carbon Solutions said, "By using American-produced natural gas we can boost global energy supply, support Japan's decarbonization goals and create jobs at home. Our strong relationship with Marubeni sets the stage for delivering low-carbon ammonia from the U.S. to Japan for years to come.&#8221;

Exxon Mobil Says Deal With Japan's Marubeni To Boost Global Energy Supply

<a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-05-07/nigeria-says-exxon-commits-1-5-billion-to-deepwater-development" title="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-05-07/nigeria-says-exxon-commits-1-5-billion-to-deepwater-development">https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-05-07/nigeria-says-exxon-commits-1-5-billion-to-deepwater-development</a>

"Exxon Mobil Plans To Invest $1.5B In A Deepwater Oil Field In Nigeria" -Bloomberg

West Texas Intermediate crude prices rebounded sharply on Tuesday, surging more than 3.6% to $59.10 per barrel by 10:00 a.m. ET, as escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities">East rattled energy markets</a>.
The rally came after Israeli fighter jets launched a wave of airstrikes in Yemen, targeting Houthi-controlled infrastructure, including Sanaa International Airport, in retaliation for recent missile and drone attacks on Ben Gurion Airport that left several injured.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">War Tensions Reverse Monday's Oil Slump</h3>
The sharp rebound in oil fully reversed Monday's losses, which had been triggered by OPEC+'s decision to increase output by 411,000 barrels per day starting in June, a move that prompted Goldman Sachs to slash<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/05/45198741/goldman-sachs-issues-bearish-40-oil-forecast-as-opec-pumps-more-energy-stocks-sink"> its oil price forecasts.</a>
But the latest developments out of the Middle East have shifted the narrative quickly, as traders reassess supply risk in a region crucial to global oil flows.
In a statement on social media X, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said it struck terrorist infrastructure used by the Iran-backed Houthi regime, including power plants and logistics hubs exploited for weapons transfers and tunnel construction. 
The IDF emphasized it took steps to mitigate harm to civilians, adding, "The IDF is determined to continue operating—at any distance—against all threats posed to the citizens of the State of Israel."
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Energy Stocks Show Muted Response</h3>
Despite the spike in crude prices, U.S. energy stocks remained broadly flat, reflecting a degree of investor caution following Monday's rout and continued uncertainty surrounding OPEC+ policy and global demand.
The Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLE#NYSE">XLE</a>) edged up just 0.1% following a 1.8% slump a day earlier. Exxon Mobil Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>) gained 1% and Chevron Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVX#NYSE">CVX</a>) rose 0.2%.

Oil Soars Above $59 As Middle East Airstrikes Jolt Markets

Exxon Mobil Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>) shares fell 2.66% to $103.39 on Monday as investors digested mixed first-quarter earnings and fresh pressure on oil prices following an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45194998/saudi-arabias-oil-power-play-jolts-markets-can-diamondback-and-rivals-survive-the-squeeze">OPEC+ supply decision</a>. 
What To Know: Exxon reported $83.1 billion in revenue, below the $86.1 billion consensus, with adjusted earnings slipping to $7.71 billion from $8.22 billion. Despite the decline, adjusted EPS came in at $1.76, beating estimates of $1.70. 
The energy giant maintained steady production at <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/05/b45161321/exxonmobil-announces-first-quarter-2025-results">4.55 million barrels</a> of oil equivalent per day and posted $13 billion in operating cash flow. 
Shareholder returns remained robust at <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45164566/exxon-mobil-q1-profit-tops-forecasts-despite-revenue-miss-slashes-costs-by-127-billion-more">$9.1 billion</a> through dividends and buybacks, and Exxon reaffirmed its $20 billion annual repurchase plan through 2026.

Market sentiment was further dampened by a nearly 2% decline in WTI crude futures after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45194998/saudi-arabias-oil-power-play-jolts-markets-can-diamondback-and-rivals-survive-the-squeeze">OPEC+ announced</a> it would raise output by 411,000 barrels per day in June. 
The move, led by Saudi Arabia, aims to rein in overproduction by members like Iraq and Kazakhstan while regaining market share. 
The increased supply, totaling 960,000 bpd over three months, has reversed nearly half of the voluntary cuts made since 2022, placing renewed downward pressure on global oil prices.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy XOM Stock</h2>
By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for Exxon Mobil &#8211; be it to purchase shares, or even attempt to bet against the company.
Buying shares is typically done through a brokerage account. You can find a list of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-stock-trading-platforms">possible trading platforms here.</a> Many will allow you to buy &#8220;fractional shares,&#8221; which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share.
In the case of Exxon Mobil, which is trading at $103.45 as of publishing time, $100 would buy you 0.97 shares of stock.
If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex.

The process of shorting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock">stock can be found at this resource.</a> Otherwise, if your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option, or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading &#8211; either way it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.
According to data from <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, XOM has a 52-week high of $126.34 and a 52-week low of $97.80.

Exxon Mobil (XOM) Stock Falls On Mixed Q1 Earnings, OPEC+ Supply Hike

RBC Capital Maintains Sector Perform on Exxon Mobil, Lowers Price Target to $105

Crude prices fell sharply after OPEC+ surprised markets with a bigger-than-expected production hike. This prompted Goldman Sachs to slash its oil price outlook and triggered a selloff <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/energy-stocks-pre-market-movers">in U.S. energy stocks.</a>
In a note shared Monday, Goldman Sachs commodity analyst Daan Struyven said the bank lowered its oil price forecast by $2 to $3, projecting Brent and WTI to average $60 and $56, respectively, for the rest of 2025, and $56 and $52 in 2026. 
"Our key conviction remains that high spare capacity and high recession risk skew the risks to oil prices to the downside despite relatively tight spot fundamentals," Struyven said. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What Prompted The Oil Selloff?</h3>
West Texas Intermediate futures opened at $55.36 per barrel Sunday evening in New York before recovering slightly to $57.10 by early Monday morning.
The drop was fueled by OPEC+'s Saturday decision to increase production by 411,000 barrels per day starting in June, a level in line with Goldman's base-case scenario. 
According to the note, the move likely reflects a combination of low oil inventories due to underproduction in Venezuela and the U.S. shale patch, as well as a push to bring laggard members like Iraq and Kazakhstan back in line with output targets. 
"The new baseline size of production increases is likely 0.41mb/d (million barrels per day)," Goldman said, projecting another similar hike in July.
Reuters reported that five OPEC+ sources suggested additional 411,000 bpd increases in August, September and October could follow if compliance issues persist. Although not confirmed by official OPEC channels, the market appeared to take this guidance seriously.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Brent Could Slide To $40 by 2026 In Bearish Scenario</h3>
Goldman models a steep downside scenario if production continues ramping while the economy slows. 
If the 2.2 million barrels per day in cuts are fully reversed through 0.41 mb/d monthly hikes, Brent crude could drop to the high $40s by late 2026 and WTI to the mid-$40s.
In a global recession, Brent could plunge to $40 and WTI to the high $30s.
While this outcome is less likely, Goldman said, the risk profile is skewed toward the downside given ample spare capacity and the possibility of further supply increases.
Despite this bearish tilt, the bank still recommends hedging downside risk using structured options strategies. It maintains a June 2026 Brent three-way position: selling a $75 call to fund a 55/45 put spread.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Energy Stocks Drop As Crude Slides</h3>
The Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLE#NYSE">XLE</a>) fell 1.3% Monday as oil stocks responded swiftly to the OPEC+ announcement.
Exxon Mobil Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>) and Chevron Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVX#NYSE">CVX</a>) dropped 1.9% and 1.7%, respectively.

Shares of energy stocks are trading lower amid a drop in the price of oil. Oil fell on reports suggesting OPEC+ agreed to production increases in June.

Barclays Maintains Overweight on Exxon Mobil, Lowers Price Target to $127

U.S. stocks advanced across the board by midday Friday, with the S&amp;P 500 eyeing its ninth consecutive day of gains—poised for the longest winning <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">streak since May 2024.</a>
Risk appetite remained firm, underpinned by solid corporate earnings and a stronger-than-expected April jobs report. Nonfarm payrolls rose by 177,000, beating expectations of 130,000 and easing concerns over tariff-related hiring slowdowns.
All eleven S&amp;P 500 sectors traded in positive territory, led slightly by financials over technology. Major indexes have now fully recovered from the declines sparked on April 2, when President Donald Trump announced sweeping tariffs across trading partners.
The Nasdaq 100 climbed to levels last seen in late March, capping a strong week for tech stocks. Among the Magnificent Seven, all were on pace to close the week higher except Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), which slipped 4% as strong earnings were overshadowed by weaker sales in China.
The U.S. dollar index resumed its decline, pressured by renewed calls from President Trump for the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates ahead of next week's policy meeting.
Treasury yields surged following the upbeat jobs data, with the 10-year note jumping 10 basis points to 4.31%, easing recession concerns entering the second quarter.
In commodities, oil prices fell back to $58 per barrel despite Thursday's rally on heightened geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. Gold rebounded 0.5%, set to snap a three-day losing streak, while natural gas prices jumped 4.4% to a two-week high.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) edged up 1% to $97,500, marking its fourth straight week of gains.

Insights From Analysts:
According to analyst Seth Golden, a chief market strategist at the Finom Group, the S&amp;P 500 having retraced 50% of the bear market at closing on Thursday, points towards the markets going to their all-time high.
Golden says, &#8220;Since 1956, when this occurred, the index went on to all-time highs and was higher 12 months forward 100% of the time.&#8221;

The CNN Money Fear and Greed index showed some improvement in the overall market sentiment, while the index moved to the &#8220;Neutral&#8221; zone on Thursday.
U.S. stocks settled higher on Thursday following strong earnings reports from two Big Tech companies. The S&amp;P 500 recorded gains for the eighth day — its longest winning streak since November 2023.
Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) shares jumped 7.6% on Thursday after delivering a blowout quarter that beat expectations across the board, reinforcing its leadership in cloud and AI. Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) shares gained 4.2% after the company topped estimates.
President Trump reassured investors, stating that progress on trade negotiations is going &#8220;very well&#8221; and that the timeline for the tax bill remains on schedule.
However, the Dow and S&amp;P 500 recorded losses for the third consecutive month as economic data began reflecting the impact of Trump tariffs. The S&amp;P 500 fell around 0.8% in April, while the Dow tumbled 3.2% for the period. The Nasdaq, however, gained 0.9% for the month.
On the economic data front, U.S. construction spending fell by 0.5% month-over-month to an annual rate of $2,196.1 billion in March. The ISM manufacturing PMI declined to 48.7 in April compared to 49.0 in March, above market estimates of 48. U.S. initial jobless claims increased by 18,000 to 241,000 in the week ending April 26, compared to market estimates of 224,000.
Most sectors on the S&amp;P 500 closed on a positive note, with information technology, communication services and consumer discretionary stocks recording the biggest gains on Thursday. However, health care and consumer staples stocks bucked the overall market trend, closing the session lower.
The Dow Jones closed higher by around 84 points to 40,752.96 on Thursday. The S&amp;P 500 gained 0.63% to 5,604.14, while the Nasdaq Composite climbed 1.52% to 17,710.74 during Thursday's session.
Investors are awaiting earnings results from Chevron Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVX#NYSE">CVX</a>), Exxon Mobil Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>) and Eaton Corporation plc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ETN#NYSE">ETN</a>) today.
At a current reading of 46.9, the index moved to the &#8220;Neutral&#8221; zone on Thursday, versus a prior reading of 42.7.
What is CNN Business Fear &amp; Greed Index?
The Fear &amp; Greed Index is a measure of the current market sentiment. It is based&nbsp;on the premise that higher fear exerts pressure on stock prices, while higher greed has the opposite effect. The index is calculated based on seven equal-weighted indicators. The index ranges from 0 to 100, where 0 represents maximum fear and 100 signals maximum greediness.
