Barclays Maintains Overweight on Marathon Petroleum, Raises Price Target to $189

As the U.S. Senate considers the Sanctioning Russia Act of 2025, economist Craig Shapiro has raised alarms about its potential to disrupt American markets and the global economy.
What Happened: In a post on X early Friday, Shapiro, macro strategist at the Bears Trap Report, highlighted a looming "major statement" from President Donald Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46360686/trump-to-make-a-major-statement-on-russia-on-monday-amid-escalating-ukraine-conflict-im-disappointed">on Monday regarding Russia</a>, tied to the bipartisan bill spearheaded by Senators Lindsey Graham and Richard Blumenthal, which now enjoys support from over 80 senators.
The act's centerpiece is a 500% tariff on Russian-origin goods and services, with secondary sanctions targeting nations like China and India—key buyers of Russian energy.
Shapiro warned, "If Trump moves forward with the Senate sanctions bill, which includes secondary sanctions of 500% on China and India as they are buyers of Russian energy, it is going to have major negative implications for the global economy very quickly."
He added that this could jolt energy stocks, given Russia's role in global oil markets.
The energy sector faces a ban on U.S. exports to Russia and secondary sanctions on foreign entities aiding Russian oil and gas, while financial measures prohibit U.S. transactions with Russia except under specific licenses.
He emphasized the tariff's scope, stating that there will be a 500% tariff on imports from any country like India or China, knowingly trading in Russian oil, gas, uranium, petroleum, or petrochemicals, etc.
&#8220;This bill is a sweeping escalation, combining targeted sanctions and sweeping economic measures—especially secondary actions—to isolate Russia financially, hit its global energy revenue, and deter allies from shoring up its economy,&#8221; he said.

Shares of energy stocks are trading higher as oil rises amid concerns of Israel-Iran escalation. President Trump denied working on a ceasefire and said everyone should evacuate Tehran.

As global tensions in the Middle East highlight a volatility in the oil markets, an expert suggests the U.S. economy&#8217;s susceptibility to oil price shocks has significantly diminished compared to previous decades.
What Happened: According to Bob Elliott, the CIO of Unlimited Funds, the shift in the mechanical impact of rising oil prices is primarily due to the United States&#8217; transition into a net exporter of crude products.
Traditionally, oil price surges acted as a significant drag on household spending and often prompted central banks to adopt tighter monetary policies to combat inflation. However, Elliott&#8217;s detailed examination reveals a changed landscape.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">The US economy is far less sensitive to an oil shock than in previous decades. While the ongoing Mideast conflict is a concern, it would take multiples of the the impact priced in so far to have meaningful economic impact. Thread.
&mdash; Bob Elliott (@BobEUnlimited) <a href="https://twitter.com/BobEUnlimited/status/1934558230123782446?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 16, 2025</a></blockquote>

While consumer gasoline prices might still see a moderate uptick following price increases, the overall impact on household consumption is far less profound. Spending on fuel has fallen to a mere 1.3% of total household consumption, making recent price movements &#8220;not noticeable&#8221; in the broader economic context, Eliott explains.
&#8220;The surge in US production to the point where the US is a net exporter highlights how an oil shock may not be nearly as detrimental as in past rounds. While it would create a drag on HH consumption and rising inflation, it will also support domestic production &amp; investment,&#8221; he said in an X thread.
Furthermore, the surge in domestic oil production means that higher prices now generate increased income for U.S. oil producers, offsetting some of the drag felt elsewhere. This domestic boost in income and the incentive for greater production efforts highlight a crucial difference in the economic equation.
Here&#8217;s a list of a few U.S. oil producers and oil ETFs.

Why It Matters: Despite escalating conflict, Iran has notably reduced its missile barrages on Israel, with the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) attributing this to the effectiveness of Israeli airstrikes.
Early waves on Friday and Saturday saw Iran launching 100-200 missiles per wave. However, subsequent attacks have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/45944854/irans-missile-stockpile-may-be-shrinking-as-strikes-on-israel-taper-off-says-think-tank-lmt-rtx-gd-in-focus">dropped to 35-40 missiles each</a>, indicating a significant impact on Iran&#8217;s launch capacity. 
Initial estimates placed Iran&#8217;s missile stockpile at around 2,000, with an alleged plan to fire 1,000 ballistic missiles. Yet, Israeli strikes reportedly damaged or destroyed numerous launchers and silos, limiting Iran to just 200 launches. This suggests Iran may soon face difficulties sustaining its current missile attack rate.
