In this article, we are going to discuss the energy stocks that are losing this week.

The overall energy sector was among the biggest losers over the last week, falling by 3.4%, against gains of 1.86% by the wider market. The major reason for this downturn was the sharp plunge in global crude oil prices, as a result of the much-awaited ceasefire announced between Iran and Israel.

The WTI crude oil price surged to $73.84 last week in anticipation of Iran’s potential closure of the Strait of Hormuz, which handles around 20% of the world’s oil and natural gas shipments. However, after the situation between the two Middle Eastern rivals de-escalated, the WTI crude price plunged by over 12% and is now hovering just over the $65 mark.

Crude oil prices also received support from signs of strong U.S. demand. According to government data, crude inventories fell by 5.8 million barrels last week, much higher than the market expectations for a draw of 797,000 barrels in a Reuters poll.
