NuScale Power is off 5.9% at today's open, with four other names down more than 4.9% and the best gainer, Constellation Brands, up just 2.3%. Refiners and energy fill out the rest of the green.
Latest Activity
Marathon Petroleum just set a record high at $433.47, clearing its September 18 peak by 2.02%. A refiner setting fresh highs this late in the move is not something to leave unwatched.
A 4.57% intraday gain to $411.10 is a big single session for a $115 billion refiner, adding billions in market value before lunch. Whether it holds into the close is the thing to watch.
