On June 12, Shandong Molong (00568.HK) fell 9.87% in regular trading, trading at HKD 5.96/share, with turnover of HKD 148 million. The decline came as rising expectations of a US-Iran ceasefire pressured oil and gas equipment stocks broadly.

On the news front, sentiment shifted toward geopolitical de-escalation between the US and Iran, triggering a pullback in petroleum-related equities. The stock had previously surged sharply after Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz and US military launched retaliatory strikes against Iran, with Brent crude briefly touching USD 97/barrel. The rapid swing between escalation and de-escalation over recent sessions has generated extreme volatility, with the stock accumulating significant gains from its pre-conflict levels.

Within the Oil and Gas Equipment and Services sector, the broader group traded mixed to lower. Among peers, Sinopec SSC was flat, Dalipal Holdings fell 0.97%, Anton Oilfield fell 1.05%, Petro-King fell 1.64%, while Jutal Oil Services rose 1.96%.
