Joel Elconin is the co-host of Benzinga's #PreMarket Prep, a daily trading idea radio show.Chevron Corporation CVX shares were trading higher by $1.05 (1 percent) at $105.25 in Wednesday's session. The issue is ignoring the down day in the market and instead following the lead of crude oil, which is up nearly $1.00.
The issue, which has come down from its all-time high made in July 2014 at $135.10, cracked the $100 level on January 30, reaching $98.88. After a quick rebound to $112.93 on February 17, it has wallowed in a trading range between $100.66 and $108.78, with a majority of the price action taking place between $103.00 and $106.00.
In today's session after a higher open (Tuesday's close of $104.20 vs. Wednesday's open of $104.66), it sustained a brief pullback to $104.33 and began to grind higher. So far, it has surpassed Tuesday's high, reached $105.44 and is treading water near the highs for the session. Market News and Data brought to you by Benzinga APIs© 2024 Benzinga.com.
