Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. Report's Core View - The recent significant escalation of the Middle East situation, with the US increasing pressure on Iran, has led to a rise in the geopolitical premium of crude oil and driven up downstream energy - chemical products. The LPG market has a large risk exposure to the Iranian situation, and the US cold wave is also bullish for LPG. However, excluding geopolitical and seasonal factors, the endogenous upward drive of the LPG market is relatively limited. In the medium - term, the global LPG supply is expected to continue to increase, and the market is expected to be in a state of oversupply [1][2].
