Canadian Natural Resources shares are sliding as crude oil prices suffer a steep drop after President Trump announced a two‑week ceasefire with Iran, easing fears of supply disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz and cooling the risk premium in energy markets. The selloff reflects a broad reset in oil sentiment rather than any new operational setback at the company.
Adding to the pressure, several analysts have cut their ratings on Canadian Natural to Hold, arguing that the recent shift in geopolitical risk reduces upside for the stock in the near term. These downgrades are reinforcing the market’s negative reaction and helping to drive the stock lower alongside the wider energy sector.
