Core Viewpoint - The current oil market is experiencing a tug-of-war between geopolitical premiums and supply-demand imbalances, with bearish sentiment increasing as summer demand ends, and potential further pressure on oil prices if tariff stalemates or supply surpluses worsen [1][2]. Group 1: Market Dynamics - The oil market is in a phase of soft power consolidation, relying on the reactivation of geopolitical premiums, while hard power remains unchanged, leading to continued volatility [1][2]. - Geopolitical events, such as attacks by Houthi forces on commercial ships, inject risk premiums into oil prices, but do not result in actual supply disruptions, with OPEC's idle capacity (approximately 5 million barrels per day) still able to buffer risks [2][3]. - The oil price fluctuation range (e.g., NY crude at $58-$72 per barrel) is driven by environmental adaptability, reflecting market adjustments to geopolitical conflicts and policy risks [2]. Group 2: Supply and Demand Factors - Non-OPEC countries are increasing supply significantly (e.g., Brazil and Iraq adding 450,000 barrels per day), outpacing demand growth, with potential daily surpluses reaching 950,000 barrels by 2025 [3]. - The end of summer demand has exacerbated bearish sentiment, with consumption weakening post-peak travel season and compounded by U.S. tariff increases, leading to a decline in oil prices of over 7% since August [3]. - The uncertainty surrounding tariff policies and supply surpluses may trigger further declines in oil prices, with daily demand potentially reduced by 150,000 to 200,000 barrels due to suppressed global trade activities [2][3].
