Ursula von der Leyen is running for a second five-year term as president of the European Union's executive commission. She is popular, but her re-election is not a foregone conclusion.

Shares of liquified natural gas (LNG) companies jumped Monday after the European Union agreed to purchase $750 billion of energy from the U.S. LNG exporters Cheniere and Venture Global were up about 3% and more than 4%, respectively. NextDecade and New Fortress Energy, which build LNG infrastructure, jumped more than 2% and about 3%.
