- Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content 2. Core View of the Report - This week, the impact of the US - Iran situation on the global crude oil market supply has escalated. VLCCs cannot pass through the Strait of Hormuz, about 10 million barrels per day of Middle - East production has been shut down. The US launched an air - strike on Kharg Island over the weekend, but Iran's crude oil export facilities were not damaged. The US called on its allies to jointly safeguard the Strait of Hormuz. The IEA announced the largest - ever emergency oil reserve release, with 32 member countries planning to release about 400 million barrels of oil, but it cannot fundamentally solve the problem of upstream production interruption. The core issue still depends on the duration of the strait blockade. Currently, the forward curve of crude oil prices reflects an expected disruption of about 30 days, but the actual disruption time is expected to be longer. Next week, the international crude oil market still faces upward price risks [7] 3.
