Canadian Natural Resources is trading 4.01% up at CA$73.64 on October 13, 2026, with energy-sector strength from Middle East supply concerns the apparent primary driver. - Reports cite Houthi attacks on Saudi targets and tanker incidents near the Strait of Hormuz as factors lifting crude prices. - No clear company-specific announcement explains the move. - A bullish RBC analyst note raising its target to C$86 from C$79 may also support sentiment, though evidence points primarily to the sector backdrop.
