Chevron reported fourth quarter earnings of $3.1 billion Friday (or $1.64 per share), compared with the $415 million ($0.22 per share) reported in Q4 2016.
What to watch: Despite the significant rise in year-over-year earnings, this year's results included a $2 billion tax benefit, "making it difficult to compare with analysts estimates," reports CNBC. Wall street had expected earnings of $1.22 a share.

President Trump announced late Tuesday that the White House attempt to halt federal agencies' anti-racism training would be expanded to block federal contractors from "promoting radical ideologies that divide Americans by race or sex."
Why it matters: The executive order appears to give the government the ability to cancel contracts if anti-racist or diversity trainings focused on sexual identity or gender are organized. The memo applies to executive departments and agencies, the U.S. military, federal contractors and federal grant recipients.
