Energy: Exxon, Chevron drag sector amid geopolitical risks
The energy sector (XLE) is underperforming in Friday's trading session, following disappointing results from industry leaders Exxon Mobil (XOM) and Chevron (CVX). S&P Global Vice Chairman Daniel Yergin joined Yahoo Finance to discuss the geopolitical risks looming over the oil market. Yergin acknowledges that the current calm within the oil market will "entirely depend" on exogenous events. He notes that oil prices have reverted to levels pre tensions between Iran and Israel, which initially caused a slight uptick: "There's been a tug-of-war between geopolitics and the fundamentals of supply and demand," Yergin says.
