Group 5: Commodities - Energy and Oil and Gas - The crude oil market remains at a high level with high volatility, and the geopolitical situation dominates the pricing logic. Attention should be paid to the passage of the Strait of Hormuz and the development of the US - Iran conflict [19][20]. - The fuel oil market is in a strong position, and the supply concern caused by the Middle East war has pushed up the spot premium of high - and low - sulfur fuel oil to a record high [21][22]. - The asphalt market has amplified fluctuations.
