Shares of oil and gas companies are trading higher following President Trump's decision to implement a 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs for all countries except China.

Wall Street's sell-off shows no signs of easing into the week's close, in what's shaping up to be the worst week for U.S. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">equities since March 2020</a>.
The market's bleeding is now visible across the board: the Dow Jones has slipped into correction territory, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 has entered a bear market after falling more than 20% from its highs.
Tech and semiconductor stocks have taken the brunt of the damage, following China's announcement of retaliatory tariffs of 34% on U.S. goods — a tit-for-tat move matching the rate once imposed by President Donald Trump.
The VIX index — also known as the &#8220;market fear gauge&#8221;&nbsp;— spiked 35% to 40 levels, heading for the highest daily close since October 2020.
Other countries are threatening retaliation, fueling fears of a broader global trade war that could disrupt supply chains and weigh heavily on the global economy.
The iShares Semiconductor ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NYSE">SOXX</a>) — a key proxy for the U.S. chipmaking industry — has plunged 16% this week, on track for its worst performance since September 2001 at the height of the dot-com crash.
Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) extended its losses by another 4.7% on Friday, heading toward its steepest two-day decline since 2013, as investors brace for potential revenue hits from the new Chinese tariffs.
Even <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/44645518/strong-jobs-report-offers-hope-but-will-it-be-enough-to-counter-tariff-turmoil">a strong U.S. jobs report</a> — with 228,000 payrolls added in March, far above the expected 135,000 — did little to soothe nerves.
Hopes that Fed Chair Jerome Powell might strike a more dovish tone were dashed. He <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44648681/powell-cites-tariff-driven-inflation-risks-shrugs-off-trumps-call-for-perfect-time-to-cut-rates">offered no signs of urgency to cut </a>rates, reiterating that the Fed is in no rush, and flagged inflation risks tied to tariffs. Powell stressed the importance of monitoring inflation expectations closely. 
Meanwhile, President Donald Trump continued posting on Truth Social, touting the &#8220;great jobs numbers&#8221; and warning China against behavior it &#8220;cannot afford to do.&#8221; He again pressed Powell to cut rates, saying it's the "perfect time," but his words seem to be losing sway on Wall Street.
As stocks slumped, bonds notched their best day of the year thus far. The popular iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>) fell 2.1%. Yields on the 10-year Treasury note were down by 10 basis points to 3.94%.

Morgan Stanley Maintains Overweight on Civitas Resources, Lowers Price Target to $48

J.P. Morgan analyst Zach Parham <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/CIVI/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">retained a Neutral rating</a> on Civitas Resources, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CIVI#NYSE">CIVI</a>) with a price forecast of $49.
The analyst writes that CIVI&#8217;s goal remains consistent with its fourth-quarter update, maintaining its focus on debt reduction over share buybacks.
The analyst notes that the company aims to generate FCF and reduce debt by $800 million in FY25, which he sees as achievable at current strip pricing.
Parham says asset sales remain a focus for the company, with a goal of over $300 million for FY25. Media reports suggest CIVI is considering selling its DJ Basin position for over $4 billion.
The analyst notes that a larger DJ transaction is possible, though the company is unlikely to sell at a steep discount and he awaits further clarity from management on the earnings call.
The analyst estimates cash flow per share of $7.39 for the first quarter of FY25, a touch below the street estimates of $7.47 after marking to market for commodity prices.
Also, Parham sees first-quarter oil production of 143.2 MBo/d, in line with the consensus estimates of 143.1 MBo/d and EBITDA estimate of $799 million, broadly at par with the consensus of $797 million.
For FY25, the analyst estimates oil production of 152.8 MBo/d on $1.85 billion of capex, in-line with the street estimates and CIVI&#8217;s guidance.
Investors can gain exposure to the stock via First Trust Energy AlphaDEX Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FXN#NYSE">FXN</a>) and VictoryShares Small Cap Free Cash Flow ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFLO#NASDAQ">SFLO</a>).
Price Action: CIVI shares are down 0.52% at $36.24 at the last check Tuesday.
