1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The report does not provide an industry investment rating. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The joint military strike by the US and Israel against Iran has led to a sudden escalation of the situation in the Middle East. Iran's closure of the Strait of Hormuz and large - scale retaliation have significantly affected energy, shipping, and financial markets [1][22]. - In the short - term, market volatility will be rapidly amplified, and a "gold - oil rising together, risk assets under pressure" pattern may emerge. It is recommended to reduce speculation, increase risk awareness, and shift from unilateral strategies to hedging transactions [3][28][29]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Iran's Tense Situation and Strait Closure - On February 28, 2026, the US and Israel launched a large - scale air strike on Iran. Iran retaliated, and the conflict caused casualties and damage. Iran's Supreme Leader Khamenei died, and the Strait of Hormuz was closed [8]. 3.2 Middle East and Iranian Oil Supply - The Middle East is a major oil - producing region, accounting for over 1/3 of global crude oil production. As of January 2026, the daily crude oil production of OPEC member countries in the Middle East was about 2,410 million barrels. Saudi Arabia is the second - largest oil - producing country globally, and Iran is the seventh - largest, with a daily production of 313 million barrels [9]. 3.3 Impact Analysis of Closing the Strait of Hormuz - The Strait of Hormuz is a key waterway connecting the Persian Gulf and the Indian Ocean. It is of great strategic and economic significance, with countries around it having large oil and gas reserves. It is the second - largest global seaborne oil channel, with a daily oil transport volume of 20.3 million barrels, accounting for 27% of global oil maritime trade [11][12][19]. - In 2025, Asian countries were the main destinations for crude oil transported through the Strait of Hormuz. China, India, South Korea, and Japan together accounted for about 69% of the total crude oil transported through the strait [21]. 3.4 Impact Analysis of Iran's Situation on Energy - Chemical Products and Trading Strategies 3.4.1 Impact on Energy - Chemical Products - The situation in Iran has a direct and severe impact on the energy market. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz may lead to a daily supply gap of about 18 million barrels of crude oil globally and interrupt about 100 million tons of LNG trade annually. It also affects the supply of fuel oil, methanol, etc., and strengthens the cost support of downstream chemical products [1][22][25]. - The shipping market will be affected. The closure risk of the Strait of Hormuz will increase shipping costs, and the war - risk premium for oil tankers may rise by over 300%. Container shipping companies may detour or suspend services, pushing up freight rates [2][26]. - The escalation of the situation in Iran will impact global risk appetite. In the short - term, the market may show a pattern of "gold and oil rising together, risk assets under pressure", and gold's safe - haven property will be more prominent [2][26]. 3.4.2 Trading Strategies - In the short - term, market volatility will increase. It is recommended to reduce speculation, increase risk awareness, and wait for the market to develop before taking appropriate actions. It is also suggested to shift from unilateral strategies to hedging transactions, such as long - crude - oil and short - chemical - products operations during the escalation of the situation and the opposite when the situation cools down [3][28][29].
