European Energy Stocks Fall as Oil Prices Decline
European Energy Stocks Dip as Oil Prices Fall on US-Iran Deal Hopes
European energy stocks slipped in morning trading as oil prices declined, driven by optimism over a potential US-Iran deal that could open the Strait of Hormuz. Brent crude fell 4.7% to $95.52 per barrel, while WTI dropped 4.9% to $91.86.
Despite the positive sentiment, President Trump took to Truth Social on Sunday to say he was in no hurry to reach an agreement, stating, "Both sides must take their time and get it right."
The oil price drop weighed on energy companies: Spain's Repsol fell 2.25%, Italy's Eni lost 1.9%, France's TotalEnergies declined 1.7%, and Norway's Equinor slipped 1.4%. UK markets were closed for a holiday.
The energy sector remains sensitive to geopolitical shifts and supply expectations, with traders closely monitoring US-Iran negotiations.
