Panic gripped the global financial markets yesterday as ExxonMobil and Chevron's stock prices plummeted by over 10% in the past 24 hours, wiping out billions of dollars in market value. The sudden sell-off sent shockwaves through the energy sector, leaving investors scrambling to adjust their portfolios.
