Group 1: Commodity Price Trends - Since August 2023, precious metals and industrial metals have shown significant price increases, with gold rising by 45.6% and silver by 103% since August 2025, while COMEX copper has increased by 15% since September 2023, raising expectations for oil price increases[2] - Historical analysis of commodity cycles from 1992-2021 indicates a valid transmission logic from precious metals to industrial metals and then to oil, driven by monetary easing and economic recovery[2] - The current commodity cycle differs from previous ones, with precious metal price increases occurring ahead of monetary easing, driven by de-dollarization expectations and geopolitical risks[2] Group 2: Key Support Factors for Oil Prices - Two main support factors for oil prices are identified: the desire of oil-producing countries to raise prices and geopolitical premiums due to global political and economic challenges[2] - The U.S. is seen as a key player in oil price dynamics, with potential motivations to raise prices post-midterm elections, as inflation concerns may ease[2] - OPEC countries, particularly Saudi Arabia, are also inclined to raise oil prices to ensure fiscal stability, especially under increasing financial pressures[2] Group 3: Investment Insights - Brent crude oil prices are projected to rise to the range of $75-80 per barrel within the year, driven by the dual logic of rising expectations and geopolitical premiums[3] - Upstream resource sectors are expected to directly benefit from rising oil prices, enhancing profitability and dividend stability, making high-dividend stocks more attractive in a declining interest rate environment[3] - Oil price increases are likely to boost capital expenditures in oil companies, creating lagging benefits for oil service and high-end equipment sectors[3]
