Dow Jones01-05

By WSJ Staff

BAE Systems (UK:BA), Dassault Aviation (FR:AM): Defense stocks rose in Europe and Asia after the U.S. ousted Venezuela's President Maduro, as investors bet on an uptick in global geopolitical tensions.

Chevron $(CVX)$: The company is the only U.S. oil major in Venezuela, pumping around one-third of the country's output. Shares jumped more than 7% in premarket trading.

ConocoPhillips $(COP)$, Exxon Mobil (XOM): The two oil companies left Venezuela in 2007 after then-President Hugo Chávez nationalized their assets. On Saturday, President Trump pledged to dispatch U.S. drillers to revive Venezuela's crude output. Shares in both companies surged premarket.

Halliburton $(HAL)$: Shares in Halliburton and other oilfield-services companies such as Baker Hughes $(BKR)$ and SLB $(SLB)$ also rose.

Comcast $(CMCSA)$: Regular trading of the TV network owner's Versant $(VSNTV)$ spinoff is set to begin Monday. Comcast shares lost 5% ahead of the open.

Equinor (NO:EQNR, EQNR): The Norwegian company said late Friday it is seeking an injunction against the White House's order halting construction of U.S. offshore wind projects. Shares fell about 1%.
