Movement Alert|BP PLC Rises 3.1% in Pre-Market Trading, Iran's Closure of Strait of Hormuz Lifts Oil Prices

Market Focus
Yesterday

On October 8, BP PLC rose 3.1% in pre-market trading, trading at $45.86/share, with Turnover of $186.32 million. The move came after Iran announced the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and blocked related shipping lanes, directly triggering market panic over disruptions to crude oil and refined product supply.

The strait accounts for about 30% of global seaborne crude oil trade. As a result, international oil prices jumped sharply, with Brent crude futures breaking above $103 per barrel and WTI crude standing above $91 per barrel. BP PLC, as a leading integrated oil and gas company, directly benefits from fuel demand and upstream asset revaluation during oil price upcycles. JPMorgan had previously assigned an Overweight rating to BP PLC based on high oil price logic, noting that improved cash flow and internal restructuring are expected to drive shareholder returns growth.
