In the short term, this decision will help stabilize the US economy and financial market sentiment, and will also provide some support for global oil demand, but it will not be the dominant factor determining the trend of international oil prices. In the coming months, the geopolitical situation in the Middle East, OPEC+ supply, and global oil demand will remain the three key variables affecting global energy market oil prices. Our baseline judgment on future oil price trends remains one of intense volatility followed by a gradual decline, with oil prices in 2027 generally lower than this year. At the same time, we continue to maintain our high and low scenario forecasts. Under the high and low scenarios, the annual average difference in Brent crude spot prices is $21/barrel this year, and will further widen to $48/barrel next year.
