On June 15, CNOOC (00883.HK) fell 3.29% in regular trading, trading at HKD 24.2/share, with turnover of HKD 1.809 billion. The decline reflects continued pressure from volatile Middle East geopolitics on oil and gas stocks.
On the news front, the Middle East situation has entered a complex tug-of-war pattern. On June 8, Iran announced the end of military operations against Israel, sending WTI crude down from approximately $93.50/barrel to around $90.93. On June 11, Iran fully closed the Strait of Hormuz, briefly reversing the oil price decline. Goldman Sachs previously estimated that approximately $15-20 of WTI crude price appreciation consists of geopolitical risk premium, and the repeated oscillation of this premium has weighed heavily on oil stock valuations.
The broader Oil and Gas Exploration and Production sector showed broad-based weakness, with CNOOC-R down 2.34%, UNITEDENERGY GP down 2.3%, and SUNSHINE OIL down 1.89%. The three major Chinese oil majors listed in Hong Kong have collectively weakened in recent sessions, with data indicating sustained net outflows from institutional investors. CNOOC continues its adjustment trajectory amid this uncertain geopolitical backdrop.
