Movement Alert|Cathay Pacific Rises 3.05% in Regular Trading, Oil Price Plunge and Cargo Fleet Expansion Provide Dual Tailwinds

Market Focus05-29

On May 29, Cathay Pacific rose 3.05% in regular trading, trading at HK$13.19/share, with trading volume of HK$78.61 million.

On the news front, international oil prices dropped sharply amid US-Iran negotiation progress, significantly easing fuel cost pressure for airlines. Simultaneously, Cathay Pacific Group signed a confirmed order with Airbus to exercise additional purchase rights for two A350F freighters, further expanding its cargo fleet capacity. Analysts noted that while elevated oil prices in April-May constrained passenger traffic volume, aviation demand continues to show clear year-over-year growth, with expectations that the upcoming summer travel season will improve airlines' ability to pass through fuel costs as supply-demand dynamics tighten.

The broader airline sector rallied in tandem, with China Eastern Airlines up 4.93%, China Southern Airlines up 2.65%, and Air China up 2.52%.
