Core Points - The United States has announced its third withdrawal from UNESCO, reflecting its "America First" stance and prioritizing national interests over international laws and rules [1][2][3] - This decision is seen as part of a broader trend of unilateralism by the U.S., which is perceived to weaken its soft power and international influence [1][3] - The withdrawal will take effect on December 31, 2026, and is attributed to the U.S. government's belief that UNESCO promotes divisive social and cultural initiatives [2][4] Group 1: U.S. Withdrawal from UNESCO - The U.S. has previously withdrawn from UNESCO twice, first in 1984 due to allegations of corruption and mismanagement, and again in 2017 [4] - The current withdrawal is based on ideological differences and a lack of willingness to lead globally, rather than solely financial considerations [3][4] - UNESCO's budget has been growing, with voluntary contributions doubling since 2018, despite the U.S. reducing its financial support [4][5] Group 2: International Reactions and Implications - UNESCO's Director-General expressed regret over the U.S. decision, emphasizing that it contradicts the principles of multilateralism [2][3] - The Chinese government has criticized the U.S. for its lack of responsibility as a major power and has reiterated its commitment to multilateralism and support for UNESCO [2][5] - The withdrawal raises questions about the reliability of the U.S. in international organizations and may create opportunities for China to enhance its influence within UNESCO [3][4]

Core Viewpoint - International oil prices have slightly declined due to the interplay of supply-demand dynamics and policy interventions, with concerns about demand persisting amid U.S. tariff policies and the EU's sanctions on Russian energy exports [1][2][3] Supply and Demand Dynamics - The demand side shows weakened momentum, with market concerns about oil demand continuing to grow, influenced by U.S. tariff policies that may suppress global economic activity and oil consumption [2][3] - On the supply side, resilience is observed as Russia has developed "immunity" to Western sanctions, allowing oil to continue flowing through various channels, which has not triggered excessive market panic [1][2][3] Policy Interventions - The EU's latest sanctions, including targeting India's Nayara Energy, have not effectively diminished Russian energy exports, as the sanctions face execution challenges and lack support from key emerging economies [2][3] - The U.S. tariff policies are seen as undermining the collaborative value of transatlantic alliances, potentially leading to a "de-Americanization" process among allies [3] Market Reactions - The market's response to sanctions and tariffs has been muted, reflecting skepticism about their effectiveness and execution, with oil prices remaining in the range of $64 to $70 per barrel [1][2][4] - The current oil price dynamics are influenced more by the costs associated with regulatory frameworks and geopolitical tensions rather than traditional supply-demand factors [4] Strategic Implications - The disconnect between sanction policies and market perceptions indicates a weakening of the EU's normative authority, as it struggles to address energy replacement costs and lacks technical solutions for severing trade ties with Russia [3] - If the U.S. and EU fail to repair the value recognition gap, the marginal impact of their policy tools on oil prices is likely to continue diminishing [4]

Core Viewpoint - International oil prices are experiencing a slight decline due to weak demand, policy impacts, and supply expansion, with a notable decrease in gasoline demand during the summer driving peak season [1][2][3] Group 1: Demand Weakness - The summer driving peak season has seen an unexpected decline in gasoline demand, with daily supply dropping by 670,000 barrels to 8.5 million barrels [2][3] - The increase in distillate oil inventory and rising stocks at the key storage hub in Cushing, Oklahoma, indicate a fundamental weakness in end-user consumption [1][3] - The trade tensions stemming from President Trump's tariff policies have significantly weakened global energy consumption expectations, leading to a chain reaction of deteriorating demand [3][4] Group 2: Policy Impact - The ongoing tariff war has triggered a complex crisis, impacting both demand prospects and increasing market uncertainty through supply chain disruptions [4] - Trump's denial of plans to dismiss Federal Reserve Chairman Powell provided a temporary boost to market sentiment, but the Fed's interest rate decisions continue to exert long-term pressure on oil prices [4] - The geopolitical context, including the easing of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, has further diminished risk premiums, stripping away price support [4] Group 3: Supply Expansion - Morgan Stanley warns of a potential return to supply surplus after the summer demand peak, indicating that OPEC's production strategies and U.S. capacity expansions are contributing to this trend [2][4] - The expected increase in OECD inventories could reach levels not seen since 2017, which corresponds to Brent crude prices around $65 per barrel, reflecting a dilution of oil's scarcity value [2][4] - The long-term forecast suggests Brent crude prices may stabilize at $60 per barrel by 2026, indicating a trend of devaluation in oil's soft power [4]

Group 2: Supply Side Analysis - Trump's avoidance of direct sanctions on Russian oil exports reflects a strategic dilemma, as he aims to showcase geopolitical control while avoiding domestic inflation spikes [3]. - The lack of direct sanctions has led to a reduction in geopolitical risk premiums, with traders previously expecting stronger actions against Russian oil exports [3]. - The OPEC alliance is caught in a cycle of increasing production to maintain market share, which exacerbates the downward pressure on oil prices [3]. Group 3: Market Dynamics - The interplay of US unilateral tariff policies and potential EU countermeasures reveals a failure of global cooperation mechanisms, leading to systemic market shocks [3]. - The current market is characterized by a critical phase of "non-material factors versus real fundamentals," with the trade war, reduced geopolitical risks, and production increases creating a trifecta of negative influences on oil prices [3]. - Citigroup predicts that Brent crude oil prices may drop to $60-$65 per barrel in the second half of 2025, reflecting the pressure from the collapse of soft power on pricing [3].
