Group 1: Oil Industry - Investment Rating: The report suggests that the target price for Brent crude oil remains at $60-65 per barrel following OPEC+ production increases [3][14]. - Core Viewpoint: Recent U.S. sanctions on Iranian oil exports, combined with a drop in international oil prices, have led to a slight rebound in oil prices. However, the market typically requires large-scale sanctions to significantly impact prices [3][14]. - Recent Market Performance: As of March 21, 2025, Brent futures were priced at $72.16 per barrel, up $1.58, while WTI futures closed at $68.28 per barrel, up $1.10 [3][14]. Group 2: Natural Gas Industry - Investment Rating: Caution is advised regarding U.S. natural gas prices in the short term, with potential for price increases closer to summer [5][17]. - Core Viewpoint: Although the average natural gas price in Europe and the U.S. is expected to rise in 2025, current high prices in the U.S. reflect market conditions adequately, and further production increases may not be fully accounted for yet [5][17]. - Recent Market Performance: As of March 21, 2025, TTF was priced at $13.51 per MMBtu (up $0.06), JKM at $13 per MMBtu (down $1), and HH at $3.98 per MMBtu (down $0.04) [5][17].
