Movement Alert|Equinor ASA Falls 3.06% in Regular Trading, Saudi Supply Halt to Europe and Rate Hike Fears Weigh on Oil Sector

Market Focus
Sep 22

On September 22, Equinor ASA fell 3.06% in regular trading, trading at $42.755/share, with turnover of $63.27 million.

On the news front, Saudi Aramco reportedly notified European customers of a full suspension of crude oil supply for October after its East-West pipeline was shut down following a drone attack, halting approximately 577,000 barrels per day of long-term contract deliveries. European refiners were forced to scramble for replacement crude on the spot market, briefly driving North Sea spot prices to $136.75 per barrel. Despite the supply disruption theoretically benefiting alternative suppliers, broader concerns over potential interest rate hikes weighed heavily on the oil and gas sector. Notably, Equinor had previously signed a three-year crude supply agreement with Poland's Orlen, which is now urgently procuring 16 million barrels of replacement crude — order execution remains a key factor to watch.

Within the Integrated Oil & Gas sector, the overall sector traded lower. Among major peers, Exxon Mobil fell 2.94%, BP declined 2.39%, Chevron dropped 1.89%, Shell slid 1.14%, and Petrobras edged down 0.07%.
