On October 26, CNOOC rose 3.03% in regular trading, trading at HK$23.88, with turnover of HK$508 million.
The move was accompanied by strength in Hong Kong oil stocks as renewed Middle East geopolitical tensions lifted market expectations for firmer international oil prices.
Market reports said rising risks of a new round of US-Iran conflict, worsening security around the Strait of Hormuz, and escalating Yemen-related disruptions to Saudi oil facilities and exports were reinforcing crude price support. For CNOOC, whose core business is upstream exploration and production, an improved oil price outlook is seen as supportive for valuation and investor sentiment. The company is also scheduled to release its latest quarterly results on October 30.
