Amid rising political pressure on Big Oil over fuel prices, Chevron (CVX) CFO Eimear Bonner struck a reassuring tone for consumers. Bonner told CNBC she expects U.S. gasoline prices to fall, a direct response to President Trump's recent accusation that major oil companies are 'gouging' consumers by not lowering prices despite the drop in crude oil. She emphasized that the company is aligning prices with fundamentals.
The comments come as global crude oil prices have softened in recent weeks, pressuring sector revenues. Per market data, Chevron closed at $171.45 on June 24, 2026, while Exxon Mobil (XOM) traded at $136.92 and BP (BP) at $37.86, reflecting sector resilience. Bonner's remarks ease some tension between the White House and oil firms, though no formal price-cut commitment was made.
