Movement Alert|Air China Falls 3.01% in Regular Trading, Middle East Escalation Drives Oil Prices Higher Pressuring Airline Sector

Market Focus06-10

On June 10, Air China (00753.HK) declined 3.01% in regular trading, trading at HKD 4.2 per share, with trading volume of HKD 16.02 million.

On the news front, Israel launched strikes against Iranian military targets, causing sustained tensions in the Middle East and significantly raising Persian Gulf shipping risks, which drove international oil prices sharply higher. IATA slashed its global airline industry net profit forecast from approximately USD 41 billion to USD 23 billion, and projected fuel expenditure to surge nearly 39% year-over-year to approximately USD 350 billion. With fuel costs accounting for 30%-40% of airline operating expenses, the spike in oil prices directly intensifies profitability pressure on carriers.

Within the Airlines sector, the overall sector faced broad-based selling. Among individual stocks, Cathay Pacific fell 7.03%, China Southern Airlines fell 3.13%, and China Eastern Airlines fell 2.16%. IATA further warned that smaller airlines may face bankruptcy or acquisition by larger carriers as fuel costs continue to climb.
