Oklo Inc. (OKLO) stock surged 5.14% in the pre-market trading session on Tuesday, following an overnight rally in energy stocks. The rally was fueled by former President Donald Trump's pledge to declare a national energy emergency and implement policies to boost domestic oil and gas production, while rolling back climate regulations.
Trump's proposed plans aim to unleash domestic energy production by enabling new oil and gas development on federal lands and revoking Biden-era climate policies. "With my actions today, we will end the green New Deal, and we will revoke the electric vehicle mandate," Trump said, signaling a potential shift in energy policies that could benefit traditional energy companies like Oklo Inc.
The pre-market surge in Oklo's stock price reflects investor optimism about the potential tailwinds for the energy sector under Trump's proposed policies. However, investors should keep in mind that these plans are still in the early stages, and their implementation may face various challenges and uncertainties.
