Oil prices are sliding on the heels of Israel's attack on Iran over the weekend. The former spared the latter's energy facilities, though, so disruptions to crude production are unlikely. Below, let's check in with both Occidental Petroleum Corp (NYSE:OXY) and APA Corp (NASDAQ:APA) to see how shares are responding to geopolitical tensions.

OXY was last seen down 1.3% to trade at $50.88, and earlier hit its lowest level in over one month. Shares gapped below the 20-day moving average after a rally earlier this month fell short of the $57 level. Fresh off their third-straight weekly loss, Occidental Petroleum stock is down 14.8% this year.

APA is also struggling, down 3.5% at $23.95 at last glance. The hydrocarbon exploration stock has support at the $23 level, but has failed to conquer the $28 level twice this month as it struggles with long-term pressure at the descending 60-day moving average. Over the last 12 months, APA shed 40.3%.
