** Shares in Viridien VIRI.PA slip 3.5%; RBC analysts point to Iran war de-escalatory messages, leaving risk some paring down heading into weekend

** Viridien offers geophysical services to oil and gas companies

** U.S. President Donald Trump said on Thursday he had told Israel not to repeat its attacks on Iranian natural gas infrastructure

** RBC says Donald Trump’s remarks are seen as a sign of de-escalation, particularly given the absence of a ban on crude oil exports at a time when the market is still absorbing the ramp-up in attacks on energy infrastructure by Iran

** "With this fact pattern, some are paring down risk once again heading into the weekend," RBC adds

** Friday's fall reduces Viridien's YTD gains to about 36%​
