Ecopetrol is trading 4.14% higher at $17.36, supported primarily by the energy-sector rally as escalating U.S.-Iran tensions lifted crude prices and raised supply-disruption concerns.

  • The move is notable as broader U.S. equities decline while energy stocks gain.
  • Ecopetrol implemented senior-management changes effective September 1; available coverage does not directly link the appointments to the price increase.
