8:02 AM ET: Chevron (NYSE:CVX) stock was up 6.1% after the oil and gas major announced a package of measures to conserve cash. The company is suspending its $5 billion annual buyback program and cutting capital spending by 20%, or around $4 billion. The dividend will be left unchanged, as was the case on Monday with Royal Dutch Shell (LON:RDSa) and Total SA (PA:TOTF).
