On August 3, Equinor ASA fell 3.16% in regular trading, trading at $39.86/share, with turnover of $13.23 million. The decline was driven by a sharp pullback in crude oil prices as US-Iran diplomatic negotiations released de-escalation signals.

The war premium that had previously pushed Brent crude to $100 per barrel retreated significantly, with Brent crude futures falling 5.39% to $86.75/barrel and WTI crude dropping 6.14% to $83.82/barrel. The sustained pressure on oil prices weighed broadly on the petroleum sector. Among peers, Occidental fell 2.83%, BP fell 2.75%, Chevron fell 1.15%, Shell fell 0.94%, and Exxon Mobil fell 0.45%.

Analysts note that medium-to-long-term lasting peace remains uncertain, with core issues including Iran's nuclear program, sanctions relief, and Iran's support for regional proxy forces still subject to negotiation among all parties.
