Stocks Shake Off Commodities Crumble

Markets Bounce Off Lows After Fed Minutes

Markets Back Away From Two-Year Highs

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. The rally follows a Reuters report suggesting the U.S. is preparing its most <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/sector-etfs/25/01/42919047/oil-nears-80-as-us-prepares-new-russia-sanctions">stringent sanctions yet</a> against Russian oil.
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

United Parcel Service, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UPS#NYSE">UPS</a>) shares are <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/UPS/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">trading lower on Thursday.</a>
JP Morgan analyst Brian P. Ossenbeck <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/UPS/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">reiterated the Neutral rating</a> on United Parcel Service, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UPS#NYSE">UPS</a>).
The analyst notes that the contract between UPS and the United States Postal Service (USPS) for SurePost expired on December 31, 2024, and it seems the two companies did not reach a new agreement.
This is separate from the air cargo contract UPS secured with FedEx Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FDX#NYSE">FDX</a>) in 2024.
Ossenbeck views the situation as a long-term positive for UPS and parcel pricing, but questions how well the company can handle the transition of SurePost volume immediately after peak season, given that FedEx estimated a similar transition would take about a year. The analyst <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/FDX/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">reiterated the Overweight rating on FedEx</a>.
The analyst suggests that UPS may be following a similar strategy to FedEx, which in-sourced its SmartPost service to save on USPS delivery fees and improve cost efficiency.
The analyst expects UPS to discuss the strategic rationale and financial implications in the fourth-quarter earnings call on January 30.

At the time, FedEx was also aiming for a seven-day residential delivery network, which has since been scaled back.
Ossenbeck acknowledges UPS could handle the added volume under a new brand (possibly &#8220;Ground Saver&#8221;), eventually reducing service areas it cannot reach.
The analyst has previously emphasized that parcel carriers need to get &#8220;Better and Smaller,&#8221; and views this as a positive first step, though he doesn&#8217;t expect significant delivery density improvements, as even during the COVID-19 boom, those benefits were not realized.
Ossenbeck highlights potential execution risks for UPS, including package car capacity constraints and challenges in integrating SurePost during peak return periods.
There is also uncertainty about whether the recent Teamsters&#8217; contract limits SurePost deliveries, as drivers have previously focused on larger packages for redirection.
For FedEx, the analyst suggests that its Ground Economy service could benefit if United Parcel and USPS continue to raise rates for the most economical delivery services, thus increasing the price floor for deferred products.
Price Action: UPS shares are trading lower by 2.86% to $123.14 at last check Friday, while FDX shares are trading lower by 1.24% to $271.40.

Martin Marietta Materials's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MLM#NYSE">MLM</a>) short percent of float has fallen 8.97% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 1.42 million shares sold short, which is 2.64% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 3.67 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.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Martin Marietta Materials 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.
<h3>Comparing Martin Marietta Materials's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
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>, Martin Marietta Materials's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 4.01%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

(AGNC) - Analyzing AGNC Investment's Short Interest

Walgreens Boots Alliance, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WBA#NASDAQ">WBA</a>) shares are trading significantly higher Friday. The company posted earnings that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care/25/01/42912519/walgreens-boots-alliance-stock-jumps-on-better-than-expected-q1-earnings-sticks-to-annual-profit-forecast">were higher than estimates</a>.
The stock may be breaking out and it looks like it can go even higher. This is why our team of traders and technical analysts have made it our Stock of the Day.
Walgreens reported first quarter earnings of 51 cents per share. Analysts were looking for 37 cents.
Revenue also beat estimates. Sales were $30.90 billion, which was ahead of the $29.10 billion The Street was looking for.
When a stock is trending higher, there are more shares to be bought than sold. Traders and investors who wish to acquire shares are forced to bid premiums to get sellers interested. This results in an uptrend.

But when a stock reaches a resistance level, the dynamic changes. There is a large amount of sell orders. People can buy as many shares as they want without having to push the price higher.
As you can see on the chart, $11 has been resistance for Walgreens. In October and December when it reached this level, the rallies ended.
Sometimes, a stock sells off after reaching resistance. This happens when some of the sellers who created the resistance start to undercut each other. They know the buyers will go to whoever wants to sell at the lowest price.
These sellers don't want to miss the trade, so they reduce their offering prices. Other sellers see this and do the same. This undercutting can result in a snowball effect that pushes the price lower.
But sometimes when a stock reaches a resistance level, the buyers eventually overpower the sellers and push the price above the resistance. When this happens, traders say it is a breakout.
This shows people who created the resistance with their sell orders have left the market. They have finished or canceled their orders.
Buyers will once again be forced to bid premiums to draw sellers back into the market. This can result in a new uptrend forming, and it may be about to happen with Walgreens.
