On July 28, BP PLC fell 3.05% in regular trading, trading at 42.47 USD/share, with turnover of $223 million. The decline came as international crude oil prices tumbled sharply over the weekend, weighing heavily on the broader energy sector.

On the news front, reports emerged that Pakistan is facilitating a potential restart of US-Iran nuclear negotiations, raising the possibility of easing Middle East geopolitical tensions. This triggered a sharp reversal in crude oil bullish sentiment, with Brent crude previously falling over 2% in a single session to approximately $98 per barrel. Analysts noted that while oil price volatility remains elevated, substantive constraints on two major Middle East shipping corridors persist, suggesting the pullback may be temporary.
