On May 26, Canadian Natural Resources fell 3.07% in regular trading, trading at $47.12/share, with trading volume of $70.15 million.

On the news front, multiple bearish factors converged to pressure crude oil prices and the broader oil and gas sector. US-Iran negotiations continued to advance, with markets growing optimistic about the potential reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, triggering a rapid unwinding of geopolitical conflict premiums previously built into oil prices.

On the supply side, OPEC+ signaled it may begin phasing out voluntary production cuts starting in Q3, with estimated daily output increases potentially reaching 500,000 barrels. Meanwhile, US EIA data revealed commercial crude inventories rose by 3.25 million barrels, significantly exceeding the market consensus forecast of 1.5 million barrels. Supply-demand dynamics on both ends weighed heavily on oil prices.

The Oil and Gas Exploration and Production sector declined broadly. Among peers, ConocoPhillips fell 1.91%, Devon Energy fell 2.27%, EQT Corp fell 1.19%, EOG Resources fell 1.76%, and Venture Global fell 4.01%.
