Shares of oil and gas companies fell as Brent crude and U.S. WTI crude prices dropped by 2.3% amid progress in U.S.-Iran nuclear talks. Major energy firms like Exxon Mobil and Chevron saw declines of 1.9% and 1.8%, respectively. Other companies, including Hess and Diamondback Energy, also experienced significant drops, with oilfield service providers and refiners following suit. Investors are concerned about economic headwinds from tariffs potentially impacting fuel demand.
