Shell PLC is trading at $82.76 (-3.39%) in pre-market after suspending its $3 billion share buyback and facing pressure from falling Brent crude.

  • The buyback halt runs until July 14, 2026, and was triggered by the company's pending acquisition of ARC Resources.
  • Energy stocks are currently lagging the broader market as risk-on sentiment favors other equity sectors despite the decline in oil prices.
