Oil prices slip again as U.S.-Iran talks loom and the dollar firms; Brent near $66

Meanwhile, Priyanka Sachdeva at Phillip Nova described the market as “choppy,” with risks leaning lower.

  • Patterson-UTI (PTEN) Slides After Q1 Beat; Water Solutions Tops Peers
    July 3, 2026, 7:05 PM EDT. Oilfield services names turned in uneven Q1 results. The group beat revenue consensus by 3.8% but still averaged a 14.3% drop in share price. Patterson-UTI (NASDAQ:PTEN), with its 135 advanced rigs, posted revenue of $1.12 billion, down 12.7% over last year but 1.2% above analyst targets. PTEN delivered beats on both EPS and EBITDA, yet shares tumbled 19.9% to $8.66 after earnings as investors stuck to worries over low commodity prices. Select Water Solutions (NYSE:WTTR) led on revenue, topping estimates by 6.8%, even as sales dropped 2.3% year-on-year.
