Report Summary 1. Industry Investment Rating No industry investment rating is provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoint OPEC+ is gradually exiting the production cut action, leading to an expected increase in crude oil supply. On the demand side, the US government shutdown and the expectation of a new round of tariff policies cast a shadow over the global energy demand outlook. Additionally, the partial ceasefire in the Middle East has reduced the geopolitical premium effect included in crude oil. The fundamental driving force is weak [2][28]. 3.
