On August 3, Equinor ASA fell 3.82% in pre-market trading, trading at $39.96 per share, with turnover of $66,400. The decline was driven by a broad oil sector selloff triggered by easing Middle East geopolitical tensions.

On the news front, US-Iran diplomatic negotiations released conciliatory signals, causing a sharp unwinding of the war premium that had previously pushed Brent crude to $100 per barrel. Brent crude futures fell as much as 5.39% to $86.75 per barrel, while WTI crude declined 6.14% to $83.82 per barrel. The oil price retreat weighed heavily on integrated energy stocks, with Exxon Mobil down 2.5%, BP down 2.74%, Occidental down 2.56%, Chevron down 1.64%, and Shell down 1.48%.

Analysts noted that medium- to long-term peace remains uncertain, as core issues including Iran's nuclear program, sanctions relief, and Iran's support for regional proxy forces still require further negotiation among the parties involved.
