Venture Global shares climb 8.15% as WTI jumps 5% to $74 a barrel
Escalating Middle East tensions lifted WTI crude ~5% to $74, tightening perceived supply risk and supporting energy equities. The risk premium boosted LNG-linked names such as Venture Global, whose cash flows are sensitive to global gas and oil prices, driving an ~8% stock move. Broader indices were lower, implying the energy bid is more geopolitical-driven than macro-growth optimism in the near term.
