On June 24, ConocoPhillips fell 3.07% in regular trading, trading at $106.775/share, with turnover of $122 million. The decline was driven by sustained downward pressure on international crude oil prices following the formal signing of a US-Iran ceasefire memorandum of understanding.
The agreement confirms the lifting of maritime blockades and restoration of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz within 30 days. Fitch projects that once the strait reopens, the global crude oil market will return to oversupply conditions within approximately one month, with Brent crude Q4 average price potentially retreating to $70/barrel, posing clear medium-to-long-term downside risks for oil prices. WTI crude has already fallen to around $74, while Brent has broken below $78.
The broader Oil & Gas Exploration & Production sector weakened in tandem. Among individual stocks, Canadian Natural Resources fell 3.12%, Devon dropped 2.47%, Diamondback declined 2.42%, EOG Resources lost 0.45%, while EQT Corp bucked the trend with a 0.63% gain.
