Investment Rating - Industry Rating: Outperform the Market (maintained rating) [3] Core Viewpoints - Oil prices are at a crossroads again, with Brent crude trading above $70 per barrel due to escalating sanctions on Russian oil and China's proactive inventory accumulation in Q2 [1][9] - Two scenarios for oil price predictions: 1.
