Hong Kong Stocks Movement | Oil Stocks Decline Collectively as Geopolitical Support for Oil Prices Weakens; Institutions Remain Bullish on Long-Term Value of "Big Three" Oil Giants

Oil stocks collectively declined in Hong Kong's market. As of press time, PETROCHINA (00857) fell 2.88% to HKD 8.43, SINOPEC CORP (00386) dropped 2.21% to HKD 4.42, CHINA OILFIELD (02883) decreased 2.18% to HKD 7.19, and CNOOC (00883) slid 1.95% to HKD 21.16.

Analysts noted that while Russia-Ukraine peace talks continue, progress remains slow. Although the overall atmosphere suggests de-escalation, recent high-level meetings failed to yield agreements. Meanwhile, the U.S. issued military threats against Venezuela, but the market has grown desensitized—actual developments are needed to drive price movements. Overall, geopolitical impacts appear neutral to slightly bearish, with weakening support for oil prices.

Despite short-term volatility, institutions maintain a positive long-term outlook on China's "Big Three" oil giants—PETROCHINA, SINOPEC CORP, and CNOOC. These companies are enhancing reserves and production while tightening cost controls to navigate external uncertainties. Their resilience during oil price downturns highlights their ability to achieve sustainable growth across market cycles, reinforcing their long-term investment appeal.
