Exxon Holds Steady as Iranian Oil Exports Drop and Tighten Supply
Exxon Mobil shares were little changed near $166 as Iranian exports fell sharply, tightening Gulf supply and keeping Brent around $94. Iranian shipments dropped to about 534,000 bpd versus a 1.4 million average earlier, while floating storage fell. The supply shock supports upstream pricing, though costly energy could revive inflation and weaken demand.
