Oil Stocks Fall as US-Iran Interim Deal Sends Crude Prices Tumbling
Shares of TechnipFMC, Chord Energy, and Crescent Energy fell sharply after the U.S. and Iran signed an interim agreement waiving sanctions on Tehran's oil and reopening the Strait of Hormuz. WTI futures dropped as much as 3.5% to an intraday low of $73.60, while Brent crude fell 2% to $77.96, as the 14-point memorandum of understanding began a 60-day negotiation period and stripped away the geopolitical risk premium that had boosted energy stocks. Under the deal, Iran will allow toll-free passage through the Strait of Hormuz immediately, with full traffic capacity restored within 30 days, normalizing a chokepoint that handles roughly 20% of the world's seaborne oil and LNG. Oilfield services company TechnipFMC fell 3.9%, U.S. shale producer Chord Energy dropped 3.6%, and Crescent Energy declined 4.3%, with the latter's shares remaining extremely volatile and now trading 25.9% below their 52-week high of $13.92 from May 2026. The potential return of Iranian exports, which ran at roughly 3 million barrels per day before the conflict, represents a persistent supply overhang that would most directly impact U.S. shale producers who gained market share during Iran's absence.
