Shares of energy companies rose sharply amid signs of strong demand for gasoline.

Exxon Mobil shares fell after the oil major warned late Monday that its second-quarter profit may take a hit of more than $1 billion from lower crude prices, and just under $1 billion from lower natural-gas prices.

That may have been less of a hit than anticipated, as Exxon shares rose by almost 3%. Shares of Exxon rival Chevron rose by 4%.
