Core Viewpoint - International oil prices have been on a downward trend since late June 2025, with Brent crude oil prices dropping from around $79 per barrel to approximately $59 per barrel, marking a cumulative decline of 26% due to increased supply and weak demand. The prices are expected to stabilize in 2026 [1]. Group 1: Oil Price Trends - Brent crude oil prices started to rise in mid-December 2024, reaching around $82 per barrel in January 2025, but subsequently fell due to weak U.S. manufacturing PMI and a loose supply environment [2]. - OPEC+ announced a production increase plan of 411,000 barrels per day for three consecutive months starting in April 2025, indicating a strategy to regain market share [2]. - By November 2025, OPEC's crude oil production rose to 28.48 million barrels per day, an increase of 1.71 million barrels per day from March [2].

Group 4: Market Outlook - The oil market is expected to be oversupplied in the first half of 2026, with Brent crude prices likely to stabilize around $64 per barrel in the second half during the demand peak [6].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not mentioned in the provided content 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The Fed cut interest rates by 25 basis points as expected, but the overall tone was less hawkish than market expectations.
