Irans Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps says it has hit a U.S. oil tanker in the northern Gulf, and the ship is currently on fire.On March 5th, at a press briefing held by the State Council Information Office, Chen Changsheng, a member of the drafting group for the Government Work Report and deputy director of the State Council Research Office, stated that many scenarios mentioned in the report, such as biomedicine, aerospace, and the low-altitude economy, need to be opened up. These are important emerging fields that can grow into pillar industries. For example, the low-altitude economy has developed rapidly in the past two years and has already been well-utilized in some agricultural and forestry plant protection and patrol survey fields. Therefore, the next step is to accelerate the opening up of airspace resources and optimize and simplify the approval procedures for low-altitude economic flights to open up scenarios, enabling many places to utilize low-altitude logistics and urban governance. There are many other new scenarios, including service robots, which can also open up new space for private investment.March 5th - According to Japans Jiji Press, Japanese Economy, Trade and Industry Minister Ryosuke Akazawa urged the United Arab Emirates (UAE) on Thursday to maintain stable oil supplies despite the disruption caused by the Iranian attacks. Akazawa, meeting with his UAE counterpart, Sultan Jaber, CEO of Abu Dhabi National Oil Company, in Tokyo, called on the UAE, a major oil supplier to Japan, to play a leading role in stabilizing the oil market. Jaber responded that Japan is a highly prioritized strategic partner of the UAE, and the UAE will play its due role. However, he added that if the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial choke point for oil transport, is disrupted, then Japan will be powerless to help.On March 5th, at a press briefing held by the State Council Information Office, Chen Changsheng, a member of the drafting group for the Government Work Report and deputy director of the State Council Research Office, stated that efforts should be made to stabilize asset prices. Maintaining the healthy development of the capital market and striving to stabilize the real estate market are crucial to further repairing the balance sheets of residents and businesses, thus facilitating investment and consumption. Reforms in key areas, particularly price reforms, are also necessary. Currently, many sectors have supply, but if the price mechanism is not functioning smoothly, the entire business model cannot operate, leading to insufficient or scarce high-quality supply, which in turn inhibits consumption.The yield on German 30-year government bonds rose 3 basis points to 3.425% in early trading, the highest level since February 19.

Oil prices fluctuated as the possibility of an OPEC output cut alleviated demand worries

Oil prices were mixed on Monday as investors weighed the likelihood that the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) will reduce output to support prices against the Federal Reserve chairman's statement that the United States will experience a period of sluggish economic growth "for some time."


U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) oil futures rose 2 cents to $93.08 per barrel at 00:03 GMT, extending Friday's gain.


Brent crude futures dropped 27 cents, or 0.3%, to $100.72 a barrel, erasing the prior session's gains.


Powell noted in a speech on Friday that limiting inflation "is likely to require a sustained period of below-trend growth" and would "bring some pain to consumers and companies," which rocked equity markets and strengthened the currency.


In Monday's early trading, the dollar index rose 0.3% to 109.16. A rising dollar is detrimental to the oil market because it raises the price of petroleum for buyers holding foreign currencies.


However, oil prices have been bolstered by statements from Saudi Arabia and other members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and their allies, known collectively as OPEC+, that they may decrease supply in order to achieve market balance.


Friday, a source familiar with the matter told Reuters that the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia share the same output policy philosophy, while the Omani oil ministry declared that it supports OPEC+ efforts to maintain market stability.


Sources said last week that OPEC would consider decreasing output to offset any increase from Iran should oil sanctions be reinstated if Tehran chose to revive a nuclear accord.


As U.S.-Iran nuclear discussions continue, traders' focus will return to supply and demand, according to CMC Markets analyst Tina Teng.


In a report, experts from ANZ Research claimed that signs of growing demand are also supporting prices, in part due to higher natural gas costs in Europe, which have spurred power generators and industrial users to switch to diesel and fuel oil.
