S&P Global cuts 2026 oil demand forecast by 700,000 bpd due to Iran war
S&P Global Energy has reduced its 2026 global oil demand forecast by 700,000 barrels per day (bpd) because of the U.S.-Iran war, which is disrupting Middle Eastern energy supplies and diminishing demand in the second quarter. The forecast global oil demand growth has shrunk to 400,000 bpd from a pre-war prediction of 1.1 million bpd, primarily due to sharp declines expected in the Middle East and Asia. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz is affecting approximately 40% of the world's refining capacity, and Dated Brent prices are being managed by strategic petroleum reserve drawdowns by countries like Japan and South Korea, with diesel and jet fuel experiencing the biggest price impacts.

Why Nabors Industries (NBR) Shares Are Sliding Today
Shares of Nabors Industries (NBR) fell 5.7% after renewed hopes for a U.S.-Iran ceasefire caused a "relief rally" in broader markets, leading investors to exit energy hedges. This, combined with tumbling crude oil prices and a bearish IEA report forecasting an annual contraction in global oil demand, triggered a sharp correction in the energy sector. Despite the recent drop, NBR is up 45.6% year-to-date, though it's still trading 10% below its 52-week high.

The Truth About Valero Energy Corp: Why Wall Street Is Obsessed And TikTok Barely Cares
Valero Energy Corp is an independent refiner that Wall Street views as a strong value-and-dividend play, despite its low profile on social media platforms like TikTok. The company generates significant cash flow when refining margins are healthy and consistently pays dividends and conducts share buybacks. While not a high-growth "story stock," Valero offers exposure to real-world fuel demand and can appeal to investors comfortable with the cyclical nature of the energy sector, providing a "grown-up" addition to a diversified portfolio.

SCHD ETF: 2025 Reconstitution Impact And 2026 Outlook (NYSEARCA:SCHD)
The Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (SCHD) now has its largest sector exposure in Energy at 19.3% following its 2025 reconstitution, which has negatively impacted its year-to-date performance.
