Defense stocks are moving slightly lower Wednesday after Israel and Hamas verbally agreed on a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43011383/israel-gaza-ceasefire-hostage-exchange">ceasefire in Gaza</a>.
What Happened: Hamas accepted a draft agreement on Wednesday for a ceasefire in Gaza that includes the release of several hostages, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43011383/israel-gaza-ceasefire-hostage-exchange">multiple reports</a>. 
The agreement follows months of negotiations and paves the way for a potential end to the ongoing war in the Middle East that began about 15 months ago. The verbal agreement also comes just days before President-elect Donald Trump&#8217;s inauguration. 
&#8220;We have a deal for the hostages in the Middle East. They will be released shortly. Thank you!&#8221; Trump&nbsp;said in a post on Truth Social.
The deal reportedly includes a six-week ceasefire and the release of 33 Israeli hostages in exchange for the release of Palestinian prisoners. Israel still needs to ratify the deal, but a vote is expected by Thursday.

At the time of writing, Lockheed Martin shares were down about 0.7%, while Northrop Grumman and RTX shares were down about 0.8%. It&#8217;s worth noting that the SPDR S&amp;P 500 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) was up 1.77% at last check.
Defense stocks have benefitted from the ongoing war in the Middle East with the Global X Funds Defense ETF having gained more than 35% over the past year, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Oil prices are heating up, and so are the stocks of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/energy">major energy companies</a>. 
Shares of Chevron Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVX#NYSE">CVX</a>), Occidental Petroleum (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OXY#NYSE">OXY</a>), and ConocoPhillips (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COP#NYSE">COP</a>) were trading in the green at the last check on Friday.

These sanctions, expected to target 180 vessels, major <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/oil?_gl=1&#x2A;1aeuuae&#x2A;_gcl_au&#x2A;MTQ3Nzg4MTMxMi4xNzM1NTczMTA3&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;R1MxLjEuMTczNjUyMjc2NC4xLjEuMTczNjUyMjg4Ni4wLjAuMA..&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTczNjUyMDk1NC40Ni4xLjE3MzY1MjY3NDYuMC4wLjA.">oil </a>companies, and top executives, have already pushed oil prices to $80 per barrel — a level not seen since October 2024. 
Traders are responding to the anticipated disruption in global oil supply, and some ETFs with oil and energy exposure stand to reap the benefits.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What This Means For ETFs</h3>
<ul>
<li>The United States Oil Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USO#NYSE">USO</a>) was trading 3.73% higher as of 12.13 P.M. EST</li>
<li>The Invesco DB Oil Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DBO#NYSE">DBO</a>) rose about 3.84%. </li>
<li>The United States 12 Month Oil Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USL#NYSE">USL</a>) posted a 2.21% gain.</li>
<li>The Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOP#NYSE">XOP</a>), with an expense ratio of 0.09% and a 91.26% exposure to the Oil, Gas &amp; Consumable Fuels make it a good bet for investors of oil-focused ETFs. The portfolio includes Exxon Mobil, Chevron and ConocoPhillips.</li>
<li>Vanguard Energy ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VDE#NYSE">VDE</a>) has an expense ratio of 0.10% and like XOP, Exxon Mobil, Chevron and ConocoPhillips enjoys significant weightage in the fund.</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Geopolitics and Market Dynamics</h3>
Sanctions on Russia — one of the world's largest oil producers — are expected to tighten supply. Prices are expected to go higher. Ongoing reduction in U.S. crude stockpiles, particularly at the Cushing, Oklahoma hub, as reported by Reuters, adds to the pressure.
While tighter supplies drive prices upward, concerns about demand persist. China&#8217;s fuel oil imports are likely to fall early 2025 thanks to a hike in oil import tax from Jan. 1. 
Weaker demand from China, one of the biggest crude oil importers, could weigh on prices in the longer term.

Oil Stocks Rally On Anticipation Of Stricter Russian Sanctions: Here's How ETFs Are Reacting

The December jobs report jolted financial markets during early Friday trading. Stronger-than-expected employment growth and a drop in the unemployment rate to 4.1% raised fears the Federal Reserve may hold off on cutting interest rates <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s">for most of 2025.</a>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">December Jobs Report Fuels Fed Hawkishness: Dollar Soars, Yields Jump </h3>
The U.S. economy added 256,000 new jobs last month, marking an acceleration from the downwardly revised 212,000 jobs added in November and sharply outpacing economist forecasts of 160,000, as tracked by TradingEconomics.
The December reading represented the strongest monthly job growth since March 2024, underscoring the continued resilience of the U.S. economy despite high interest rates and resurgent inflationary pressures.
The unemployment rate ticked down from 4.2%to 4.1% in November, defying expectations of no change. Wages rose broadly in line with expectations, with average hourly earnings increasing 0.3% month-over-month, slowing slightly from November&#8217;s 0.4%. On a year-over-year basis, wages climbed 3.9%, marginally below the 4% forecast.
Fed fund futures showed a steep decline in the probability of a March rate cut, with implied odds dropping to just 26%, down from 43% a day earlier, according to CME&#8216;s FedWatch tool.
Treasury yields rose sharply across the curve, reflecting a repricing of interest rate expectations. 
The two-year yield, closely tied to Federal Reserve policy expectations, jumped 11 basis points to 4.37%. The 10-year yield surged 10 basis points to 4.79%, its highest level since November 2023.
Notably, the most striking move came in the 30-year yield, which breached the 5% mark for the first time since October 2023. Before that, the last time 30-year yields surpassed this milestone was in August 2007. The iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>) dropped 1.2% in premarket trading, highlighting the market's sensitivity to long-term rates.
The U.S. Dollar Index, tracked by the Invesco DB USD Index Bullish Fund ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UUP#NYSE">UUP</a>), surged 0.5% to 109.70, a level last seen in late October 2022. 
The greenback climbed 0.4% against the Japanese yen and 0.6% versus the euro, pushing the euro-dollar pair to a fresh 27-month low of 1.0250. The Sterling wasn&#8217;t spared, falling 0.7% to a 15-month low against the dollar.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Stocks Slump Across The Board</h3>
Futures on major U.S. indices were down 1% across the board, as the prospect of higher-for-longer interest rates rattled investors. All S&amp;P 500 sectors, except energy, traded in the negative premarket Friday.
Real estate, tracked by the Real Estate Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLRE#NYSE">XLRE</a>), and technology, represented by the Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLK#NYSE">XLK</a>), both sank 1.4%. 
Rate-sensitive sectors such as real estate and growth-heavy tech bore the brunt of the selloff as higher yields weighed on long-duration assets.
The one standout sector was energy, with the Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLE#NYSE">XLE</a>) climbing 1.3%.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Major Premarket Movers</h3>
Among energy giants, Chevron Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVX#NYSE">CVX</a>) gained 1.67% to $152.81, Exxon Mobil Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>) rose 1.57% to $108.61 and ConocoPhillips (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COP#NYSE">COP</a>) advanced 1.43% to $103.07, benefiting from a 3% spike in oil prices after Reuters reported thet U.S. is mulling stronger sanctions on Russia&#8217;s oil sector.
In contrast, rate-sensitive mega-cap tech stocks dragged the market lower. 
Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) fell 2.51% to $136.59, Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) dropped 2.92% to $118.28 and American International Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AIG#NYSE">AIG</a>) plunged 3.93% to $68.63, leading losses among financials.

Dollar Soars To 27-Month Highs, 30-Year Yields Hit 5%, Stocks Tumble As Jobs Report, Oil Spike Darken Fed's Interest Rate Cut Hopes

ConocoPhillips's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COP#NYSE">COP</a>) short percent of float has fallen 42.71% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 14.25 million shares sold short, which is 1.1% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.6 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1735061415_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for ConocoPhillips has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.

Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, ConocoPhillips's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 7.50%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

Check Out What Whales Are Doing With COP

Piper Sandler analyst Ryan Todd maintains ConocoPhillips (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COP#NYSE">COP</a>) with a Overweight and lowers the price target from $135 to $114.

Piper Sandler Maintains Overweight on ConocoPhillips, Lowers Price Target to $114

ConocoPhillips (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COP#NYSE">COP</a>) shares are trading lower by 1.35% to $98.23 Tuesday afternoon, earlier hitting a new 52-week low of $96.75. New economic data suggests China's slowing economic growth raises concerns about <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42508408/what-is-going-on-with-alibaba-jd-li-auto-xpeng-stocks-on-monday">global energy demand</a>.
The stock is also down as major indices slip, fueled by concerns that strong November <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/retail-sales/24/12/42535296/stocks-slip-as-strong-november-retail-sales-raise-concerns-over-2025-fed-rate-cuts">retail sales</a> could delay Fed interest rate cuts next year.
What To Know: Fresh data from the National Bureau of Statistics showed retail sales in November grew by only 3% year-on-year, falling short of the 5.3% expected by economists and declining from October's 4.8% growth. 
Meanwhile, property investment—a key indicator of construction activity—dropped sharply by 10.4% for the year through November, reflecting sustained challenges in the real estate sector.

China, the world's second-largest economy and a major consumer of oil and natural gas, plays a critical role in driving global energy markets. For ConocoPhillips, whose upstream operations rely heavily on crude oil and natural gas production, weak demand from China could lead to downward pressure on commodity prices.
Industrial production in China rose by 5.4% in November, just edging out October's 5.3%, but the modest growth suggests limited short-term momentum in industrial energy use. Additionally, struggles in the property sector, which consumes significant amounts of oil and gas, exacerbate demand concerns.
With China's policymakers emphasizing economic stabilization and measures to boost domestic demand, markets remain cautious about the pace of recovery.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy COP Stock</h2>
By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for ConocoPhillips &#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 ‘fractional shares,' which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share. For example, some stock, like Berkshire Hathaway, or Amazon.com, can cost thousands of dollars to own just one share. However, if you only want to invest a fraction of that, brokerages will allow you to do so. 
In the the case of ConocoPhillips, which is trading at $98.17 as of publishing time, $100 would buy you 1.02 shares of stock.
If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex. You'll need access to an options trading platform, or a broker who will allow you to ‘go short' a share of stock by lending you the shares to sell. 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&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, COP has a 52-week high of $135.18 and a 52-week low of $96.75.

Market Whales and Their Recent Bets on COP Options

Energy independence has always been crucial to national security, and that has become even more highlighted in the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the ongoing fighting in the Middle East.
While energy prices in the United States have moderated in the last few years, energy independence remains a bipartisan political issue, and U.S. domestic oil production is currently at <a href="https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=61545">all-time highs</a>.
But despite these gains in energy production, the sector hasn't reaped the benefits in 2024. The SPDR Energy Select ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLE#NYSE">XLE</a>) is up just 10% year-to-date compared to a 28% gain from the S&amp;P 500.&nbsp;
President-elect Donald Trump has promised to cut regulations to help oil and gas companies, and renewable energy companies continue to make strides toward lowering costs and expanding market share.
Today, we look at four energy stocks that could break the sector out of its doldrums in 2025.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How We Chose</h2>
If you're looking for explosive growth in the energy sector similar to tech, you'll likely be left disappointed. The energy sector is highly dependent on factors beyond the control of companies and governments, such as locating potential patches, equipment and production costs, and OPEC machinations.&nbsp;
The energy stocks we selected share a few common factors: strong balance sheets with income growth and low costs, a sustainable dividend, and solid demand for their products and services. These companies also have strategies to manage volatile commodity prices and unpredictable markets. It&#8217;s also wise for investors to diversify across industries, so we've included traditional oil and gas, renewables, and storage firms in our list.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Top 4 Energy Stocks for 2025</h2>
Here are the four stocks we picked for next year based on the abovementioned factors. We attempted to diversify across the sector with companies in different industries while keeping the core themes of sound fundamentals, dividend yield, and promising business outlook.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Diamondback Energy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FANG#NASDAQ">FANG</a>)</h3>
Owner of one of the best stock tickers on the exchanges, Diamondback Energy is an oil and gas mining company that also claims over 4,000 acres of valuable land in Texas's oil-rich Permian Basin. Founded in 2007 and trading publicly since 2012, Diamondback has been a prolific acquirer of companies. In September, the company completed a <a href="https://www.diamondbackenergy.com/news-releases/news-release-details/diamondback-energy-inc-closes-merger-endeavor-energy-resources">$50 billion merger</a> with Endeavor, and this trend could continue with a more M/A-friendly administration taking the White House next January.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1365" height="490" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/09143619/Fang.png" alt="" class="wp-image-683906" style="width:890px;height:auto" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/09143619/Fang.png 1365w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/09143619/Fang-300x108.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/09143619/Fang-1024x368.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/09143619/Fang-768x276.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1365px) 100vw, 1365px" /></figure>
FANG shares have given up most of their 2024 gains in the last six months, but the stock appears to have found support at the current $165 level. The stock also has all the features you want in an oil and gas company: steady dividends, quality management, and access to valuable reserves. The stock's dividend yield is 2.16% with a nearly 30% growth rate over the last three years, but the payout ratio remains just 20.6%, indicating a growing but stable dividend. FANG also has a reasonable P/E ratio of 9.96 and shows 34 on a Relative Strength Index (RSI), indicating that the stock could be approaching oversold status.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">ConocoPhillips (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COP#NYSE">COP</a>)</h3>
ConocoPhillips is one of the world&#8217;s largest oil and gas companies, a remainder from the initial split of Standard Oil almost 100 years ago. It is headquartered in the United States but has operations expanding around the globe. Like most large-cap stocks in the energy sector, it had a rough performance in 2024 (it's basically traded flat for two years), but the stock is also poised to bounce back thanks to its LNG pipelines and expanding cash flows.

President-elect Donald Trump has promised to cut regulations and be more friendly to LNG projects than President Biden, which could finally boost ConocoPhillips from its seemingly endless bout of rangebound trading. The stock has a low P/E (12.39), a high-yielding dividend (2.99%), and support from analysts like JPMorgan, which recently made it one of its more <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42346110/oil-vs-gas-which-is-better-positioned-for-2025-analyst-upgrades-conocophillips-downgrades-these-3-energy-stocks">prominent upgrades</a>. Overall, COP is a consensus Buy based on an aggregate of 27 different analyst ratings with an average price target of $135, which implies more than 30% upside from the current market price.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Brookfield Renewable Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BEPC#NASDAQ">BEPC</a>)</h3>
Despite Trump's promises to roll back federal EV mandates and general ambivalence to clean energy, renewables growth is likely here to stay. Brookfield Renewable Corp is one company to consider based on this trend, with divisions in the United States, Europe, and South America.

Unlike many of its clean energy peers, BEPC stock pays a dividend with a robust 4.65% yield. The company has a relatively small market cap, approaching $5.5 billion, and coverage is only from two major analysts: JP Morgan (Hold) and Wells Fargo (Buy). However, both investment banks think the stock has an upside based on their price targets ($32 for JPMorgan and $34 for Wells Fargo). The chart also looks appealing; after a three-year downtrend in price, a double-bottom pattern formed between the October 2023 and April 2024 lows, with a breakout occurring shortly after the second bottom. Keep an eye on this stock chart over the next 12 months.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GEV#NYSE">GEV</a>)</h3>
GE Vernova was spun out of General Electric when the firm decided to split its business divisions into their own companies. Formerly GE Power and GE Renewables, GE Vernova began trading as a public company in 2023 and has been one of the few bright spots for the energy sector in 2024. GE Vernova currently operates in four segments: Power, Wind, Electrification Systems, and Electrification Software. The company recently <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-12-04/ge-vernova-consortium-wins-350-million-french-power-grid-order">received a large contract</a> from the French government to build a $338 million power substation, and another <a href="https://transformers-magazine.com/tm-news/ge-vernova-to-provide-grid-stabilizing-tech-for-50hertz/">contract bid in Germany</a> to help stabilize the power grid.

Analysts have long favored the stock, but even after more than doubling up in 2024, bullish reports continue to pour in. The three most recent reports come from Wolfe Research, Guggenheim, and Barclays, and each applied a Buy rating on the stock with respective price targets of $403, $400, and $420. From a technical standpoint, the stock trades well above its 50- and 200-day moving averages and reads 61 on the RSI, which indicates the stock still hasn't reached oversold status. GEV doesn't pay a dividend, but its sales growth trajectory and bounty of public projects make it a difficult energy stock to ignore heading into 2025.

Where ConocoPhillips Stands With Analysts

Evercore ISI Group analyst Stephen Richardson reinstates ConocoPhillips (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COP#NYSE">COP</a>) with a Outperform and announces $165 price target.

Evercore ISI Group Reinstates Outperform on ConocoPhillips, Announces $165 Price Target

While shale oil producers have enjoyed an advantage over gas producers over the past 15 years, the situation is likely to reverse in 2025, according to JPMorgan.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/59b8033d15737d000128a73d/arun-jayaram">Analyst Arun Jayaram</a> said in a note that natural gas producers are likely to benefit from three "powerful secular demand trends" in 2025:
<ul>
<li>The build-out of significant LNG export capacity</li>
<li>Rising power demand from electrification</li>
<li>The switch from coal to natural gas</li>
</ul>
Natural gas prices could remain above $3.50 per MMBtu (Metric Million British Thermal Unit) in the long term, as this price reset to a higher level will be needed to incentivize incremental supply growth from higher-cost gas basins, Jayaram stated.
The Rating Changes
ConocoPhillips (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COP#NYSE">COP</a>) – upgraded from Neutral to Overweight.
While the stock has underperformed peers year-to-date, the company is likely to be "one of the few E&amp;Ps in our coverage that raise cash return in 2025," including $6.0 billion in share buybacks, the analyst said.
Devon Energy Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DVN#NYSE">DVN</a>) &#8211; downgraded from Overweight to Neutral.
The company faces tougher comps in 2025, given its strong well productivity so far. "Another factor that supports our downgrade is the sizeable PE overhang post the Grayson Mill deal (~6% of shares outstanding)," Jayaram wrote.
Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">other analyst stock ratings</a>.
SM Energy Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SM#NYSE">SM</a>) &#8211; downgraded from Overweight to Neutral.
The downgrade reflects a "preference for natural gas exposure" and the company's near-term cash return lagging peers," he stated.
CNX Resources Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CNX#NYSE">CNX</a>) &#8211; downgraded from Neutral to Underweight.
The stock has outperformed year-to-date and the company has "less near-term gas exposure compared to gassy peers given its robust hedge book," the analyst said.
Price Action
At the time of publication Thursday:
<ul>
<li>Shares of ConocoPhillips had risen by 0.58% to $104.10.</li>
<li>Devon Energy's stock had declined by 0.93% to $36.14.</li>
<li>SM Energy's stock had risen by 0.98% to $42.34.</li>

수요일에 이스라엘과 하마스가 가자에서의 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43011383/israel-gaza-ceasefire-hostage-exchange">휴전</a>에 대해 구두 합의한 후 방산 주식들이 약간 하락했다.
무슨 일이 있었나: 하마스는 수요일에 여러 인질 석방이 포함된 가자에서의 휴전 초안에 대해 수용했다고 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43011383/israel-gaza-ceasefire-hostage-exchange">다수의 보도</a>가 전했다.
이 합의는 몇 달 간의 협상 후에 이루어진 것이며, 약 15개월 전에 시작된 중동에서의 전쟁을 잠재적으로 끝낼 수 있는 길을 열어준다. 이 구두 합의는 또한 도널드 트럼프 대통령 당선인의 취임을 불과 며칠 앞두고 이루어졌다.
트럼프는 진실 소셜에 &#8220;우리는 중동의 인질들에 대한 거래를 가지고 있다. 그들은 곧 석방될 것이다. 감사하다!&#8221;라고 게시했다.
이 거래에는 6주간의 휴전과 33명의 이스라엘 인질 석방이 포함되며, 대가로 팔레스타인 수감자들의 석방이 요구된다. 이스라엘은 여전히 이 거래를 비준해야 하지만, 목요일까지 투표가 예상된다.

수요일 록히드 마틴의 주가는 0.091% 하락 마감했고, 노스롭 그루먼은 0.67% 그리고 RTX의 주가는 0.32% 하락 마감했다. 한편, SPDR S&amp;P 50(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>)은 1.82% 상승 마감했다.
방산 주식들은 중동에서의 전쟁이 지속됨에 따라 혜택을 보았으며, Global X Funds Defense ETF는 지난 1년 동안 35% 이상 상승한 것으로 나타났다. 방산 주식들은 정부 계약에 대한 의존도가 높기 때문에 갈등이 심화되는 시기에 상승하는 경향이 있다.

코노코필립스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COP#NYSE">COP</a>) 주가는 화요일(17일) 1.32% 하락한 98.26달러로 마감했다. 앞서 52주 신저가인 96.75달러를 기록하기도 했다. 새로운 경제 데이터에 따르면 중국의 경제 성장 둔화로 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42508408/what-is-going-on-with-alibaba-jd-li-auto-xpeng-stocks-on-monday">글로벌 에너지 수요에</a> 대한 우려가 커지는 상황이다.

알아야 할 내용: 미국 통계청의 새로운 데이터에 따르면 11월 소매판매는 전년 대비 3% 증가에 그쳐 경제학자들이 예상한 5.3%에 미치지 못했고 10월의 4.8% 성장률보다 하락했다.
한편, 건설 활동의 주요 지표인 부동산 투자는 11월까지 한 해 동안 10.4% 급감하여 부동산 부문의 지속적인 어려움을 반영했다.
세계에서 두 번째로 큰 경제 대국이자 석유와 천연가스의 주요 소비국인 중국은 글로벌 에너지 시장을 주도하는 데 중요한 역할을 하고 있다. 원유와 천연가스 생산에 크게 의존하는 업스트림 사업을 영위하는 코노코필립스에게 중국의 수요 약세는 원자재 가격 하락 압력으로 이어질 수 있다.
11월 중국의 산업생산은 5.4% 증가하여 10월의 5.3%를 약간 앞질렀지만, 완만한 성장세는 산업 에너지 사용의 단기 모멘텀이 제한적임을 시사한다. 또한 상당한 양의 석유와 가스를 소비하는 부동산 부문의 어려움은 수요 우려를 더욱 악화시키고 있다.
중국 정책 입안자들이 경제 안정화와 내수 부양책을 강조하면서 시장은 회복 속도에 대해 여전히 신중한 태도를 보인다.

<h3>코노코필립스 주식 매수 방법</h3>
주식을 매수하거나 회사에 베팅하는 등 코노코필립스 시장에 참여하는 방법에 대해 궁금할 수 있다.
주식 매입은 일반적으로 브로커 계좌를 통해 이루어진다. <a href=""https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-stock-trading-platforms"">여기를 클릭하면 가능한 거래 플랫폼</a> 목록을 확인할 수 있다. 많은 플랫폼에서 전체 주식을 구매하지 않고도 주식의 일부를 소유할 수 있는 &#8216;부분 주식&#8217;을 구매할 수 있다. 예를 들어, 버크셔 해서웨이나 아마존닷컴과 같은 일부 주식은 한 주를 소유하는 데 수천 달러의 비용이 들 수 있지만 일부만 투자하고 싶다면 브로커를 통해 투자하면 된다.
이 글을 작성하는 현재 현재 98.17달러에 거래되고 있는 코노코필립스의 경우 100달러로 1.02주의 주식을 살 수 있다.
회사에 대해 베팅하려는 경우 프로세스가 더 복잡하다. 옵션 거래 플랫폼에 접속하거나 매도할 주식을 빌려주어 &#8216;공매도&#8217;를 허용하는 브로커를 이용해야 한다. 주식 공매도 절차는 <a href=""https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock"">이 리소스에서 확인할 수 있다.</a> 또는 브로커에서 옵션 거래를 허용하는 경우 풋 옵션을 매수하거나 현재 주식이 거래되는 가격보다 높은 행사가에 콜 옵션을 매도할 수 있으며, 어느 쪽이든 주가 하락에 따른 차익을 얻을 수 있다.
<a href=""https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174"">벤징가 프로 </a>데이터에 따르면 코노코필립스의 52주 최고가는 135.18달러, 52주 최저가는 96.75달러였다.

셰일 오일 생산업체는 지난 15년 동안 가스 생산자들에 비해 우위를 누려왔지만 2025년에는 상황이 역전될 가능성이 높다고 JP모건이 발표했다.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/59b8033d15737d000128a73d/arun-jayaram">애널리스트 아룬 자야람(Arun Jayaram)</a>은 노트에서 천연가스 생산자들이 2025년에 세 가지 &#8220;강력한 장기 수요 추세&#8221;로부터 혜택을 볼 가능성이 있다고 언급했다:
<ul>
<li>상당한 액화천연가스(LNG) 수출 능력의 확장</li>
<li>전기화로 인한 전력 수요 증가</li>
<li>석탄에서 천연가스로의 전환</li>
</ul>
자야람은 천연가스 가격이 장기적으로 MMBtu당 3.50달러 이상으로 유지될 수 있다고 언급했다. 이는 더 높은 비용의 가스 유전에서 공급 증가를 유도하기 위해 필요한 가격 재조정이라고 설명했다.
등급 변경
코노코필립스 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COP#NYSE">COP</a>) – 중립에서 비중 확대으로 상향 조정되었다.
주식은 연초 대비 동종 업종보다 저조한 성과를 보였지만, 이 회사는 &#8220;2025년에 현금 반환을 증가시킬 몇 안 되는 E&amp;P 중 하나&#8221;가 될 가능성이 높으며, 60억 달러의 자사주 매입을 포함한다고 이 애널리스트가 밝혔다.
데본 에너지 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DVN#NYSE">DVN</a>) – 비중 확대에서 중립으로 하향 조정되었다.
이 회사는 지금까지의 강력한 유정 생산성을 고려할 때 2025년에는 더욱 어려운 상황에 직면해 있다. 자야람은 &#8220;우리의 다운그레이드를 뒷받침하는 또 다른 요인은 그레이슨 밀(Grayson Mill) 거래 이후 상당한 PE 오버행(발행 주식의 약 6%)&#8221;이라고 썼다.
SM 에너지 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SM#NYSE">SM</a>) – 비중 확대에서 중립으로 하향 조정되었다.
하향 조정은 &#8220;천연가스 노출에 대한 선호&#8221;와 회사의 단기 현금 반환이 동종 업종보다 저조하다는 것을 반영한다&#8221;고 그가 언급했다.
CNX 리소스 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CNX#NYSE">CNX</a>) – 중립에서 비중 축소로 하향 조정되었다.
주식은 연초 대비 좋은 성과를 보였고, 이 회사는 &#8220;강력한 헤지 북으로 인해 가스 동종 업종보다 단기 가스 노출이 적다&#8221;고 이 애널리스트가 밝혔다.

미국 평균 휘발유 가격이 7주 연속 하락하여 갤런당 3달러로, 2021년 5월 이후 최저 수준이 되었다. 휘발유 가격은 지난 주보다 0.6센트 내렸으며, 작년 같은 시점보다 23.2센트 낮은 수준이다.
가스버디(GasBuddy)의 데이터에 따르면, 이제 100,000개 이상의 주유소에서 갤런당 2.99달러 이하로 휘발유를 판매하고 있다. 중간 휘발유 가격은 갤런당 2.93달러이며, 상위 10%의 주유소는 평균 4.16달러, 하위 10%의 주유소는 평균 2.40달러다. 
가스버디의 석유 분석 책임자인 패트릭 드 한(Patrick De Haan)은 다음과 같이 말했다.
&#8220;추수감사절을 맞아 수백만 명이 도로로 나섰고, 그레이트 레이크 지역과 같은 일부 지역에서는 여행을 앞두고 휘발유 가격이 상승했지만, 대부분의 지역에서는 가격이 안정되거나 약간 하락했다. 전국 평균 가격이 2021년 이후 최저 수준에 가깝게 유지되고 있다.&#8221;
유가: 최근 일주일 동안 배럴당 유가가 60달러 중반에서 좁은 범위로 유지되고 있다. 이는 러시아와 우크라이나 간의 긴장, 중동의 불안정한 평화 협정, 중국의 경제 둔화 등 여러 요인 때문이다.

향후 전망: OPEC 회원국들은 현재의 생산 감축을 한 달 더 연장하는 방안을 고려할 가능성이 높다. 그러나 도널드 트럼프 당선자가 이란이나 베네수엘라에 대한 제재를 강화하거나 캐나다 원유에 관세를 부과할 경우 불확실성이 존재한다.
패트릭 드 한은 다음과 같이 말했다.
&#8220;관세의 잠재적 영향은 주목할 만한 사항이지만 시행되더라도 1월 말까지는 아무런 효과가 없을 것이다. 이번 주에는 목요일에 연기된 OPEC+ 회의에 모든 시선이 집중될 것이다. 만약 OPEC에서 석유 생산을 다시 시작하기 시작하면, 유가가 배럴당 60달러 중반으로 하락할 수 있다.&#8221;
원유 투자: 원유 시장에 투자하고자 하는 투자자들은 엑손모빌(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>), 코노코필립스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COP#NYSE">COP</a>), 쉐브론(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVX#NYSE">CVX</a>)와 같은 개별 석유 회사에 투자할 수 있다.

주식 원유 ETF는 석유 관련 회사의 주식에 투자하며, 대표적인 예시로는 대형 미국 에너지 회사들을 보유한 Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLE#NYSE">XLE</a>)가 있다.
