China's securities regulator has clamped down on small homegrown companies listing on U.S. stock exchanges after many of them became vehicles for price-rigging, causing heavy losses for U.S. investors, the Financial Times reported on Thursday. The China Securities Regulatory Commission said it intends to impose "tighter control" over U.S. listings of Chinese companies with small capitalisation and weak fundamentals, saying they are prone to market manipulation, the FT reported, citing four people close to the regulator.

NEW YORK/GDANSK (Reuters) -Major Wall Street indexes were mixed on Thursday as fresh U.S. data hurt sentiment, and European stock markets fell following a threat from U.S. President Donald Trump to impose 25% tariffs on imports from the region. Trump revoked Chevron's license to operate in Venezuela. Trump created some confusion over the looming duties on top trading partners Canada and Mexico on Wednesday, by signalling they would take effect on April 2, which would be another month-long extension.

Oil prices rose more than 1.5% on Thursday as supply concerns resurfaced after U.S. President Donald Trump revoked a licence granted to U.S. oil major Chevron to operate in Venezuela. Gains were capped, however, by signs of a potential peace deal in Ukraine, which could result in higher Russian oil flows, and an unexpected rise in U.S. gasoline and distillate stocks. Brent crude oil futures were up $1.10, or 1.5%, at $73.63 a barrel by 1413 GMT.

Since it first imposed sanctions on Venezuela's energy sector in 2019, the United States has granted individual licenses to some oil companies that allow them to export the South American country's oil to specific destinations. Washington had imposed the sanctions over reports by international observers of irregularities in elections that have repeatedly kept President Nicolas Maduro in power. U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday announced he was reversing a key license to U.S. producer Chevron Corp, accusing Maduro of failing to make progress on electoral reforms and migrant returns.

U.S. imports of crude oil from Venezuela averaged 222,000 barrels per day (bpd) in the first 11 months of 2024, according to U.S. Energy Information Administration data, making it the fourth largest crude supplier to the United States. While Venezuela's oil accounted for only 3.5% of total U.S. crude imports in November, it was about 13% of crude oil imported by U.S. Gulf Coast refineries, according to the EIA. About 90% of all crude from Venezuela last year headed to the U.S. Gulf Coast, and the remaining 10% went to the East Coast, the data showed.
