As of the time of publication, DZUG (01635) rose 27.51% to HKD 3.93; ZHONGYU ENERGY (03633) rose 12.54% to HKD 3.41; KUNLUN ENERGY (00135) rose 3.23% to HKD 8.63; China Gas (00384) rose 1.48% to HKD 8.21; and Xinao Energy (02688) rose 1.76% to HKD 69.55. On the news front, European natural gas prices continued to rise amid escalating conflicts in the Middle East, with Qatar announcing a suspension of liquefied natural gas production. Qatar Energy stated that after the suspension of liquefied natural gas and related product production, benchmark futures prices surged by 50% at one point. This move will exacerbate market concerns about severe disruptions to global energy supply, as tankers have essentially stopped passing through the Strait of Hormuz. Dongxing Securities pointed out that if geopolitical conflicts persist, combined with the potential long-term interruption of the Strait of Hormuz, expectations for tight global energy supply will be reinforced. It is reported that due to the impact of the U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran, risk aversion in European financial markets has significantly increased. As one of the top three liquefied natural gas exporters globally, nearly all of Qatar's liquefied natural gas is transported through the Strait of Hormuz, accounting for about 20% of global supply. Dongxing Securities believes that the Iran conflict has triggered market concerns about disruptions to crude oil and bulk chemical supplies, which may lead to significant short-term price fluctuations ### 相關股票 - [DZUG (600635.CN)](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/quote/600635.CN.md) - [DZUG (01635.HK)](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/quote/01635.HK.md) - [ZHONGYU ENERGY (03633.HK)](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/quote/03633.HK.md) - [KUNLUN ENERGY (00135.HK)](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/quote/00135.HK.md) - [Bosera CSI Oil & Gas Resources Index ETF (561760.CN)](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/quote/561760.CN.md) ## 相關資訊與研究 - [BREAKINGVIEWS-US will keep dancing to global energy tune](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/news/281397738.md) - [Potentially recoverable oil at Namibia's Mopane field rises 57%, shareholder says](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/news/281196633.md) - [PetroChina says Strait of Hormuz oil and gas supplies account for roughly 10% of its operations](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/news/280984885.md) - [PetroChina Renews Financial Deal With Related Company](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/news/280998322.md) - [Gas is over $4 a gallon in 18 states: 7 more could cross that price point soon](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/news/281564906.md)
