Boeing's 10.75% drop to $168.07 was the heaviest close in a 382-name priority list, with three big refiners right behind it. On the other side, Navitas led the gainers at +11.13%.
Latest Activity
A 5.72% slide to $269.89 takes roughly $6 billion off a $108.2 billion refiner in one session, a rare single-day drawdown for a name this size. Keep an eye on whether it holds the $270 line into the close.
Washington opens the reserve only when a refiner cannot source crude elsewhere, so this 400,000-barrel exchange signals a real feedstock crunch at Lake Charles. Gulf Coast fuel spreads and refining margins carry the follow-through.

54 stocks printed fresh 52-week highs this week, and Big Oil showed up in force: Suncor, BP, Shell, Phillips 66, Petrobras and Exxon all cleared prior peaks. Moderna led the whole list, topping its old high by 16%.
Phillips 66 set a fresh 52-week high at $281.60, 2.7% above its September 17 peak. The $112 billion refiner keeps clearing its own ceiling.
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.
A 4.1% intraday run to $263.64 adds roughly $4 billion to the refiner's $105.7 billion market value in a single session. Moves this size are rare for a large-cap refiner, so keep an eye on whether it holds into the close.
