Market Focus07-13

On July 13, Air China (00753.HK) fell 3.14% in regular trading to HKD 4.01, with turnover of approximately HKD 85.45 million, as the airline sector came under renewed selling pressure.

On the news front, escalating US-Iran geopolitical tensions continued to push international oil prices higher, raising fuel cost concerns for carriers. Simultaneously, summer travel season ticket prices have shown unexpected weakness, with some routes priced below high-speed rail equivalents, intensifying market worries over airline revenue quality. Among peers, China Eastern Airlines fell 2.88%, China Southern Airlines declined 2.64%, and Cathay Pacific dropped 0.75%.

Additionally, the company previously completed a directed placement of approximately RMB 20 billion, issuing around 3.04 billion new A-shares and expanding total share capital by roughly 17.4%. The resulting dilution effect continues to weigh on valuation sentiment.
