Core Insights - Fitch Ratings anticipates that the geopolitical risk premium on oil prices due to the Israel-Iran conflict will be contained within a range of $5 to $10 per barrel [1] - Significant damage to Iran's production or export infrastructure could further elevate oil prices [1] Industry Impact - The ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran is likely to create volatility in the oil market, influencing pricing strategies and investment decisions [1] - The potential for increased oil prices due to geopolitical tensions may affect global supply chains and energy security [1]

Group 1 - Recent escalation of conflict between Israel and Iran has raised concerns about potential disruptions in Middle Eastern oil supply, leading to a surge in oil prices [1] - Goldman Sachs predicts Brent crude oil prices could rise above $90 per barrel in the near term due to increased geopolitical risk premium [1] - Despite the heightened geopolitical risks, Goldman Sachs maintains that oil supply from the Middle East is unlikely to be interrupted, forecasting strong supply growth outside of US shale oil [1] Group 2 - Goldman Sachs outlines a scenario where damage to Iran's export infrastructure could reduce its oil supply by 1.75 million barrels per day within six months, with a gradual recovery thereafter [1] - In this scenario, if OPEC+ core producers compensate for half of Iran's peak supply shortfall, Brent crude prices could peak slightly above $90 per barrel, but are expected to decline to $60 per barrel by 2026 as Iranian supply recovers [1] - In extreme tail scenarios, oil prices could rise even faster due to broader regional oil production or shipping disruptions [1][2] Group 3 - The likelihood of trade disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz appears low, but investors and policymakers remain vigilant due to the potential inability of OPEC+ core producers to deploy spare capacity [2] - The Strait of Hormuz is a critical route for nearly one-fifth of global oil flow [2] - In extreme long-term disruption scenarios, Goldman Sachs estimates oil prices could exceed $100 per barrel [2]

Core Viewpoint - The geopolitical tensions in the Middle East have led to significant fluctuations in international oil prices, with Brent crude oil prices reaching as high as $76 per barrel before experiencing a sharp decline to $70.45 per barrel [1][2]. Group 1: Oil Price Movements - Brent crude oil prices experienced a peak of $76 per barrel, followed by a drop to $70.45 per barrel, reflecting a daily decline of 3.5% [1]. - Analysts suggest that the price of high-sulfur fuel oil is closely tied to crude oil prices, with a notable increase of 3.38% to 3276 yuan per ton [1][4]. - Morgan Stanley predicts that if regional conflicts escalate, oil prices could rise to $120 per barrel, while Goldman Sachs holds a contrary view, expecting prices to drop to $55 per barrel by Q4 2025 [3]. Group 2: Geopolitical Influences - The conflict between Israel and Iran has intensified, with Israel conducting airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, prompting retaliatory actions from Iran [2]. - Turkish President Erdogan emphasized the need for diplomatic solutions to the escalating violence, which poses risks to regional security [2]. - Analysts indicate that ongoing tensions in the Middle East will likely keep oil prices elevated due to supply risks [2]. Group 3: Supply Chain Dynamics - The Middle East accounts for approximately one-third of global high-sulfur fuel oil exports, making it vulnerable to supply disruptions due to geopolitical conflicts [5]. - Iranian high-sulfur fuel oil shipments have decreased significantly due to U.S. sanctions, with May shipments reported at 900,000 tons, down 100,000 tons from the previous month [5]. - Russian high-sulfur fuel oil exports also faced a decline, with May shipments estimated at 2.2 million tons, a decrease of 200,000 tons from the previous month [5]. Group 4: Seasonal Demand Trends - Summer is a peak demand season for high-sulfur fuel oil, particularly in regions like the Middle East and South Asia, with Saudi Arabia's imports expected to rise [6]. - Egypt has increased its demand for high-sulfur fuel oil due to natural gas shortages, with June imports projected at 650,000 tons, an increase of 80,000 tons from the previous month [6]. - The demand for high-sulfur fuel oil may continue to grow, although OPEC+ production increases could impact this trend [6].

随着以色列和伊朗爆发冲突，外界对霍尔木兹海峡这一全球能源命脉的安全再度产生担忧。 在以色列袭击伊朗之后，伊朗官员已暗示可能关闭霍尔木兹海峡，这一言论一度引发国际原油 价格飙升。 为什么霍尔木兹海峡对全球能源市场至关重要？ 霍尔木兹海峡是连接波斯湾和印度洋的海峡， 亦是唯一一个进入波斯湾的水道。 （卫星图） 这条狭窄的水道在最窄处仅有29海里宽，却承载了近三分之一的全球海运原油运输量以及五 分之一的全球液化天然气（LNG）运输量。 美国能源信息署（EIA）将其称为"全球最重要的 石油咽喉要道"。 据国际能源署（IEA）统计，2023年每天约有2000万桶原油及成品油通过霍尔木兹海峡，占 全球石油贸易总量的近30%。其中约70%的运输量流向亚洲市场，最大买家包括印度和日本 等国。 尽管存在替代的管道运输方案，但能力有限。IEA估计，目前通过陆路改道的石油运输能力仅 为420万桶/日，例如沙特的"东西管道"（通往红海），以及阿联酋的"阿布扎比原油管 道"（通往富查伊拉）。这些替代路线的运输能力仅占海峡正常运输量的约四分之一。 由于卡塔尔和阿联酋的LNG出口几乎没有可行的替代航线，任何航运中断都将严重收紧全球供 应。 ...

Core Viewpoint - The recent military escalation between Israel and Iran has reignited tensions in the Middle East, leading to significant increases in global oil prices, with Brent and WTI crude oil futures both recording over 10% gains last week [1][3]. Group 1: Oil Price Impact - Brent crude oil futures and WTI crude oil futures both saw over 10% increases last week due to the conflict [1]. - In early Asian trading, domestic crude oil futures surged nearly 6%, reaching a two-month high [1]. - The market's fear escalated after Iranian officials hinted at the possibility of blocking the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway for global oil transport [3][7]. Group 2: Strategic Importance of the Strait of Hormuz - The Strait of Hormuz is vital, facilitating the passage of approximately 20 million barrels of oil daily, accounting for nearly one-fifth of global maritime oil trade [3][10]. - The potential closure of the Strait could lead to a significant reduction in global oil supply, directly impacting global trade and energy security [10][12]. - Major oil-producing countries, including Saudi Arabia and the UAE, heavily rely on this waterway for their oil exports [10]. Group 3: Market Reactions and Predictions - JPMorgan raised the probability of a worst-case scenario involving the closure of the Strait from 7% to 17%, warning that oil prices could soar to $120-$130 per barrel [7]. - Goldman Sachs also revised its short-term oil price forecasts, indicating that prices could exceed $100 per barrel under dire circumstances [7]. - The UK Maritime Trade Operations issued warnings to seafarers operating in the region, reflecting heightened concerns in the shipping market [7]. Group 4: Expert Opinions on Conflict Escalation - Experts suggest that while the current conflict is intense, the likelihood of Iran fully blocking the Strait is low due to its own economic dependencies on oil exports [11][12]. - Analysts believe that Iran's threats are more about strategic deterrence rather than a genuine intention to close the Strait, as such actions would have severe economic repercussions for Iran itself [11][12]. - Historical precedents indicate that even the mere threat of disruption in the Strait can lead to significant oil price volatility, as seen in past crises [13][19].
