On July 9, Shandong Molong rose 10.74% in regular trading, trading at HK$5.18/share, with turnover of HK$29.67 million. The stock surged as escalating US-Iran military confrontation drove oil prices higher and lifted the entire oil and gas equipment sector.

On the news front, the US military conducted strikes on Iran for two consecutive days, causing oil tanker passage through the Strait of Hormuz to essentially halt. This marks a significant escalation following the resumption of US sanctions on Iranian oil and renewed US-Iran conflict after a 10-day pause. International crude oil futures prices rose sharply, boosting demand expectations for upstream oil and gas equipment.

Within the Oil and Gas Equipment and Services sector, the broader group moved higher in sympathy. SINOPEC SSC gained 3.33%, PETRO-KING rose 3.93%, JUTAL OIL SER advanced 2.06%, DALIPAL HLDG climbed 1.32%, and ANTON OILFIELD added 1.28%. Shandong Molong, as a supplier of oil casing, tubing, and related energy equipment, stands to benefit from heightened upstream capital expenditure expectations driven by elevated crude prices.
