  • Shell and BP Shares Rise as Oil Prices Surge on US-Iran Talks Breakdown
    April 13, 2026, 5:04 AM EDT. Shell and BP shares gained 1.3% and 1.2% respectively, buoyed by a near 7% jump in Brent crude to around $101.66 a barrel. The surge followed a collapse in US-Iran nuclear negotiations, raising supply disruption fears. US President Donald Trump highlighted stalled talks over Iran's nuclear ambitions. The US hinted at a potential blockade in the Persian Gulf, intensifying geopolitical risks. Oil price gains helped these FTSE 100 energy giants buck the broader market's downward trend. Higher crude prices typically boost producers' earnings by raising the value of each barrel sold. Analysts see the US's aggressive stance as an attempt to gain leverage amid persistent tensions.
