Occidental Petroleum (OXY) stock rose by 2.4% to $54.35 following a significant jump in crude oil prices, with WTI gaining 6.5% and Brent rallying 7.5%. The surge in oil prices is attributed to supply risk, with traders also looking ahead to Friday’s U.S. jobs report and the upcoming CPI report for February, both of which could impact inflation expectations and interest rate forecasts. While OXY benefits directly from higher crude prices, the broader market is watching to see if oil sustains its gains and how it will influence overall risk sentiment.
