1. Analysis: Middle Eastern crude oil shipments have returned to near pre-conflict levels. Saudi Arabia’s east-west pipeline has recovered half of its capacity, and the US plans to release 40 millions barrels from its strategic reserves, significantly easing supply concerns. However, the stalemate in US-Iran negotiations remains unresolved, and geopolitical risk premiums may continue to be volatile. EIA data show an unexpected increase of 922,000 barrels in crude inventories, but distillate inventories fell sharply by 2.25 millions barrels and are about 14% below the five-year average, indicating structural divergence of “crude oil surplus and fuel shortage.” Oil prices are consolidating around the $90 pivot, and may continue to fluctuate within a range in the short term. 2. Focus: Middle East geopolitical matters, OPEC+ statements, G7 reserve releases, and inventory changes. 3. Resistance: 92.02; 93.67; 96.54. 4. Support: 88.12; 87.30; 85.12.

1. Analysis: Middle Eastern crude oil transportation has rebounded to near pre-conflict levels, with Saudi Arabia's east-west pipeline restoring half of its capacity. Coupled with the US plan to release 40 million barrels from strategic reserves, supply concerns have been significantly alleviated. However, the US-Iran negotiation stalemate remains unresolved, so geopolitical risk premiums could still fluctuate. EIA data shows an unexpected crude inventory increase of 922,000 barrels, but a sharp decline in distillate inventories by 2.25 million barrels, about 14% below the five-year average, presenting a structural divergence of “ample crude, fuel shortage”.
