On June 16, PetroChina fell 3.1% in regular trading, trading at HK$9.71/share with turnover of HK$1.022 billion. The decline was driven by a substantial easing in Middle East geopolitical tensions following the US-Iran ceasefire agreement.

On the news front, the US and Iran reached a principal consensus on a memorandum of understanding aimed at an immediate ceasefire, lifting the naval blockade, and gradually unfreezing Iranian assets. WTI crude futures plunged over 5% in a single day to $80.51/barrel, retreating sharply from the prior high of $93.50. Goldman Sachs previously estimated that approximately $15-20 of WTI crude's rally consisted of geopolitical risk premium, which has been rapidly dissipating as ceasefire signals emerged.

Hong Kong-listed major oil companies declined collectively, with Sinopec Corp falling 2.75%. PetroChina has been declining for multiple consecutive sessions since June 9. Analysts note that while long-term geopolitical risks have not been entirely eliminated, short-term market concerns over direct military conflict have substantially diminished.
