Today's charts: Refinery stocks gain, insurers fall in wake of Harvey; Amazon slashes Whole Foods prices

Wall Street’s bracing for the economic impact of Hurricane Harvey as investors gauge the damage and destruction of the storm.

Gasoline prices are rallying after Harvey knocked refiners offline. According to Goldman Sachs, about 16.5% of total U.S. refining capacity was disrupted. The outages will limit the availability of crude and gas, and it likely means consumers will be paying higher prices at the pump.

Energy stocks react to Hurricane Harvey destruction

Massive flooding forced oil giant Exxon (XOM) to close its Baytown refinery, the second largest refinery in the country, while Royal Dutch Shell (RDS-A) closed its Deer Park refinery and chemical plant in Houston. Both stocks are trading lower as of 12:40 p.m. ET on Monday. Refiners that took their production offline include Valero (VLO), Citgo, Phillips 66 (PSX) and Marathon Petroleum (MPC).

Amazon closes deal with Whole Foods, cuts prices on grocery items
