Chinese oil and shipping stocks plunged after major firms warned of risks from recent price surges, triggering investor sell-offs in Shanghai trading. Leading energy companies—China Petroleum & Chemical, PetroChina, and Cnooc—fell up to 10% before partially recovering, reflecting fears over volatile crude markets. Shipping giants China Merchants Energy and Cosco Shipping Energy hit daily loss limits, signaling deep concerns over unstable freight demand and oil price swings. The downturn follows weeks of rally-driven gains, as companies caution that unsustainable price movements could disrupt operations and profitability. Analysts link the sell-off to broader economic uncertainty, with crude volatility and weak global shipping demand pressuring China’s energy-dependent sectors.
