Summary
Oil prices took a sharp hit after a surprise U.S.-Iran interim deal eased sanctions and reopened the Strait of Hormuz—sending WTI down 3.5% to $73.60 and Brent down 2% to $77.96. The 14-point agreement removes a key geopolitical risk premium, allowing 20% of global seaborne oil to flow freely again, triggering a nearly 30% drop from peak prices. While service stocks like Select Water Solutions and RPC dipped, the broader impact could reshape drilling economics, forcing Permian operators to cut budgets, defer rigs, and scale back fracking—rippling through the entire energy chain.
