시장은 월요일(16일) 이란이 이스라엘과의 긴장 완화와 협상 재개를 시사하자 환호했다. 이는 지난 주 투자자들을 불안에 빠뜨리고 유가를 급등시킨 지정학적 긴장감을 완화시켰다.
월스트리트저널의 보도에 따르면, 경제적·군사적 압박이 가중되고 있는 이란은 아랍 중재자들에게 핵 프로그램 협상 재개에 열려있다고 비밀리에 전달했다. 단, 미국이 분쟁에 개입하지 않는다는 조건이다.
또한 이란이 카타르, 사우디아라비아, 오만에게 도널드 트럼프 대통령에게 이스라엘이 즉각적인 휴전을 동의하도록 압박해 달라고 요청했다는 보도도 나왔다.

This Is What Whales Are Betting On ConocoPhillips

In the current market session, ConocoPhillips Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COP#NYSE">COP</a>) share price is at $94.09, after a 1.48% decrease. Over the past month, the stock increased by 8.91%, but over the past year, it actually decreased by 15.75%. With good short-term performance like this, and questionable long-term performance, long-term shareholders might want to start looking into the company's price-to-earnings ratio.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1750352422_0_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>ConocoPhillips P/E Compared to Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 21.34 in the Oil, Gas &amp; Consumable Fuels industry, ConocoPhillips Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 12.1. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1750352422_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

Shares of oil and energy companies are trading lower as oil drops following a report suggesting Iran wants to de-escalate Israel hostilities.

Markets cheered Monday after Iran signaled it wants to de-escalate tensions with Israel and return to negotiations, easing geopolitical jitters that had rattled investors and sent oil prices <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst-color/25/06/45940903/a-thin-strip-of-water-keeps-the-world-economy-on-edge-will-it-trigger-a-100-oil-shock">surging last week.</a>
A report from the <a href="https://www.wsj.com/world/middle-east/a-battered-iran-signals-it-wants-to-de-escalate-hostilities-with-israel-and-negotiate-9feab4ae">Wall Street Journal</a> revealed that Iran, facing mounting economic and military pressure, has quietly told Arab intermediaries it's open to resuming talks over its nuclear program—on the condition that the United States refrains from entering the conflict.
Reports also emerged that Iran requested Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Oman to urge President Donald Trump to pressure Israel into agreeing to an immediate ceasefire.
The overture follows days of intense Israeli airstrikes and threats from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who remains committed to dismantling Iran&#8217;s nuclear capabilities and missile infrastructure.
Despite Netanyahu's firm stance, Tehran&#8217;s signals appear to have reignited risk sentiment, easing fears escalation of Middle East conflict and leading to a risk-on rally across global equities.

In the same disclosure, Mullin also reported selling $500,000 to $1 million worth of SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust.
He reportedly bought between $285,000 and $750,000 in new stock positions, along with total transactions ranging from $785,000 to $1.75 million.
One of the most active stock traders in the Senate, Benzinga shows 325 trades worth $8.47 million, and Quiver Quant <a href="https://www.quiverquant.com/congresstrading/politician/Markwayne%20Mullin-M001190">shows </a>$15.5 million in trades from Mullin in recent years.
His net worth is listed by Quiver Quant at $65.7 million, with part of the wealth coming from selling businesses before becoming a Congressman from 2013 to 2023 and later a Senator since 2023.
The Senator's purchase of L3 Harris Technologies could raise red flags, given that it is a large defense stock and Mullin <a href="https://www.senate.gov/general/committee_assignments/assignments.htm#MullinOK">sits </a>on the Committee on Armed Services.
The purchase of oil stocks also involves Mullin, who belongs to the Subcommittee on the Department of Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies.
The Republican senator is on numerous committees and could have inside information about government policy and contracts while making his stock transactions.
Mullin denied past conflicts of interest when he owned shares of Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) and was set to vote on a potential TikTok ban, which could help Meta.

Why It's Important: Mullin's latest trades come as a call to ban members of Congress from buying and selling stocks and options is gaining support.
Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.)<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/politics/25/04/45077654/bill-named-after-nancy-pelosi-could-ban-congress-members-from-trading-stocks-what-you-need-to-know-about-the-pelosi-act" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> introduced the</a> Preventing Elected Leaders from Owning Securities and Investments Act, or PELOSI Act, based on the first letter of each of the main words. The name takes aim at Congresswoman and former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).
Pelosi, whose husband is a frequent stock trader and venture capitalist, likely doesn&#8217;t support the bill that would limit her husband's transactions while she&#8217;s in office.
Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-La.), also in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/politics/25/05/45449720/speaker-johnson-backs-congressional-stock-trading-ban-ruined-by-a-few-bad-actors">favor of a ban</a>, said there is zero tolerance for &#8220;anything resembling insider trading.&#8221;
President Donald Trump recently said he would support such a ban and that he would sign the bill if Congress passed it
"Well, I watched Nancy Pelosi get rich through insider information, and I would be okay with it. If they send it to me, I would do it," Trump told TIME.

&#8220;Should members of Congress be allowed to buy and sell stocks, options and ETFs?&#8221; Benzinga asked.
These were the results:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>They should not be allowed to trade stocks, options or ETFs:&nbsp;43%</li>
<li>They should be allowed to trade as long as they report within 24 hours:&nbsp;24%</li>
<li>They should only be allowed to trade ETFs and mutual funds:&nbsp;14%</li>
<li>They should be allowed to trade as long as they report in 45 days: 11%</li>
<li>They should only be allowed to trade stocks: 8%</li>
</ul>
The poll found that 43% of readers support an outright ban on members of Congress being able to trade stocks, options, or ETFs. Eleven percent voted that the current rules should be left alone with a 45-day disclosure window.

<h3>The Importance of Congressional Transactions</h3>
A congressional transaction is when any representative or senator either buys or sells an individual stock.
Anyone working in Congress must file a Periodic Transaction Report to inform the public of their recent transaction within 30 days of being notified of the transaction and within 45 days of the transaction date.
In April 2012, Former President Barack Obama signed the STOCK Act into law. The act prohibits members of Congress from using private information given to them by their position for personal gain such as buying or selling a stock. The act also expanded disclosure requirements for members of Congress by requiring them to file a monthly disclosure.
<h3>Why Congressional Transactions Matter</h3>
Congressional transactions shouldn't be the primary reason for an investing decision, but they can be an important factor for an investor to consider.
When a senator or representative makes a new purchase, it could be an indication they expect the stock to rise.
A sale, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean the seller thinks the stock will go down.

17 Analysts Assess ConocoPhillips: What You Need To Know

In the age of meme stocks, moonshot tech plays, and crypto quick wins, it might seem out of character for a young investor to get excited about Coca-Cola (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KO#NYSE">KO</a>), or Lockheed Martin (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>), or a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">dividend ETF</a> that doesn't promise to 10x your money overnight.
But a revolution is quietly cooking in the portfolios of Gen-Z&#8217;ers and Millennials who follow the FIRE philosophy — Financial Independence, Retire Early. And large part of this movement is a tactic your financial advisor&#8217;s father may have suggested: dividend growth investing. In that context, Schwab US Dividend Equity ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SCHD#NYSE">SCHD</a>) is emerging as a solid contender for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/specialty-etfs/25/05/45532640/schd-the-dividend-etf-turning-quiet-compounding-into-long-term-wealth">passive income investing</a>.
Let&#8217;s explore the mood further. SCHD has a low 0.06% expense ratio, pays a 4% dividend yield, and owns stalwarts such as Verizon (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VZ#NYSE">VZ</a>), ConocoPhillips (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COP#NYSE">COP</a>), and Coca-Cola. The fund is tightly rules-based, emphasizing only those firms with 10 years of dividend payment, good fundamentals, and heavy trading volume.
And that&#8217;s what attracts FIRE followers. The emotional roller coaster involved in pursuing meme tickers and &#8220;to the moon&#8221; mania is bound to lose charm, and young investors are constructing long-term portfolios intended to accumulate wealth quietly, sustainably, and with little drama.
The Philosophy 
FIRE is not about instant wealth. It&#8217;s about working hard, investing harder, and retiring earlier than the conventional age of 65-70, on a self-directed, passive income stream robust enough to pay for everything.
Dividend growth investing checks all the boxes: It offers compounding income from quarterly payments, less volatility than high-beta growth stocks, protection against inflation as dividends rise with time, and sector diversification without the drudgery of selecting individual stocks.
And SCHD? It does it all, no Reddit forum necessary.
A Financial Workhorse
With assets of more than $67 billion and an average daily volume of more than 15 million shares, it&#8217;s a big player in the dividend ETF universe. Its top 10 holdings, such as Lockheed Martin, Cisco (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSCO#NASDAQ">CSCO</a>), and Verizon, are among the most financially secure U.S. corporations. And its built-in guardrails, such as a sector exposure cap (no more than 25%) and focus on return on equity (29.06% as of April 30), prevent it from crossing into dangerous territory.
Even during periods of market volatility, SCHD&#8217;s performance has been robust due to its mix of consumer staples, healthcare, and energy exposure. It&#8217;s not cool, but it&#8217;s reliable. And in a FIRE portfolio, that is a superpower.
Final Thought
In an era where financial news streams are dominated by AI chip makers and blockchain soap operas, SCHD is working its magic behind the scenes, assisting investors in achieving their objectives one dividend check at a time. For the next generation pursuing financial independence, and not merely flashy charts, it might be just the turtle that outpaces all the hares on the track.

<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?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">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.
