Carnival Corp. shares fell Thursday as benchmark crude prices climbed above $100 per barrel after OPEC’s monthly report showed Saudi Arabian oil production declined to 6.238 million barrels per day in August. Middle Eastern geopolitical tensions and maritime risks near the Red Sea added to the energy-market rally, raising fuel-cost concerns for cruise operators. Expectations that the Federal Reserve could raise interest rates after August’s hotter-than-expected payrolls report also weighed on capital-intensive companies with elevated pandemic-era refinancing debt. Carnival shares were down 1.45% at $22.37 at publication and reached a new 52-week low, according to Benzinga Pro data.
