On June 3, COSCO Shipping Energy fell 3.11% in regular trading, trading at HK$14.52/share, with trading volume of approximately HK$36.4 million, extending a multi-session decline.

On the news front, the oil tanker market remains in an oversupply state, with VLCC cargo volumes for March through May declining 54% year-over-year. Idle tonnage from the Middle East has returned to the market, further pressuring freight rates. Meanwhile, on June 2, the company announced its subsidiary signed contracts to build four 17.5-cubic-meter LNG vessels for a total investment of RMB 6.445 billion, on top of a prior RMB 1.018 billion VLCC capital injection and RMB 800 million LR2 newbuild lease contracts, raising market concerns over future cash flow amid sustained capital expenditure expansion.

Institutional activity has also added to selling pressure, with Bank of America reducing its long position in COSCO Shipping Energy H-shares from 5.91% to 3.52% as of May 26, and JPMorgan cutting its position by 841,500 shares on May 20.
