A sharp drop in inventories coupled with a stalemate in the war has pushed oil prices toward $100.

EIA data showed that U.S. crude oil inventories fell sharply by 8 million barrels in a single week, double the expected decline; meanwhile, the U.S.-Iran conflict entered its fourth month, and multiple pressures pushed Brent and WTI crude oil prices close to key psychological levels.

Even the largest-ever reserve release couldn't save the situation! IEA: The supply gap is too large; the only solution is to "suppress demand."

The IEA stated that since the end of February, oil supplies from Gulf oil-producing countries have decreased by approximately 14 million barrels per day, a scale equivalent to nearly 15% of global daily consumption disappearing instantly, an unprecedented event in history.

Multiple factors are temporarily suppressing oil prices, but institutions predict a significant surge this summer.

Oil prices were severely impacted by the supply disruption caused by the Strait of Hormuz closure, coupled with global inventory shortages, delayed oil purchases by major Asian countries, and high prices suppressing demand. Overseas crude oil inventory reduction accelerated, with US strategic reserves nearing multi-year lows; many countries are shifting towards new energy vehicles, potentially permanently eliminating some oil demand. Analysts predict that with depleted inventories and subsequent restocking by major Asian countries, crude oil prices are highly likely to see a significant surge this summer.

Crude oil analysis: A single-day surge does not change the downward trend; the $90 mark is in grave danger?

Yesterday's 8% gain was more of an emotional release than a trend reversal. The overall geopolitical easing remains unchanged, the technical picture remains bearish, and the downward channel for oil prices has not yet closed.

US crude oil futures: Iran negotiations stalled vs. Trump's peace signals; API inventory may be key to short-term breakthrough.

From a market perspective, Trump's "expectations of peace talks" tend to suppress oil prices, while Netanyahu's "continued attacks" could exacerbate geopolitical risk premiums. The coexistence of these two factors creates greater uncertainty for oil traders when judging short-term direction.

Trump said the US-Iran talks would be finalized within a week, with the key being the stance on the Lebanon ceasefire; the issue of enriched uranium is also under ongoing discussion.

The Middle East conflict has triggered a global supply chain crisis, significantly impacting five major commodities.

The war in Iran has triggered significant disruptions in multiple commodity markets, with severe supply shortages, rising costs, and increased price volatility in commodities such as crude oil, liquefied natural gas, fertilizers, petrochemicals, and aluminum. Oil and liquefied natural gas have been hit the hardest, impacting downstream industries as well. Fertilizer shortages threaten food security, petrochemical supply disruptions have led to rising plastic prices, and the aluminum market faces its largest supply gap in decades.

With changes in the cross-strait shipping landscape and declining global inventories, industry giants are warning of a potential price inflection point for crude oil within weeks.

Analysts and policymakers warn that oil and gas shipments through the Strait of Hormuz may not recover to pre-war levels. Iran is expected to retain significant influence over the waterway and may restrict passage based on political stances. Tanker shipping has only partially recovered, with volumes estimated to stabilize at around 60% to 70% of pre-war levels, leading to a more fragmented and politically sensitive shipping environment.

Global rush to buy US crude oil! May exports hit a record 5.6 million barrels per day, Japan's imports surged 32%, who will fill the Middle East gap?

Japan, which typically imports most of its crude oil from the Middle East, accounted for the largest share of U.S. crude oil imports from Asia in May, reaching a record 808,000 barrels per day, a 32% jump from the previous month. U.S. crude oil shipments to the Mediterranean and Black Sea also hit record highs in May, with Bulgaria, Croatia, Turkey, and Greece becoming rare transatlantic buyers. Italy's record imports of 335,000 barrels per day drove growth in European demand.

False alarm? Crude oil prices surged over 7% in a single day before retreating, as the Iran nuclear talks continue to face twists and turns.

The current basic assessment remains: the general direction of the US-Iran negotiations has not changed, and this round of shocks is more of a noise in the negotiation process than a signal of a trend reversal. However, investors should not let their guard down against tail risks—especially Israel, a "variable piece" that could suddenly stir up the entire game before either side makes its final move.

Negotiations delayed by another week; long positions in crude oil decreased significantly, but its investment value became apparent.

The US-Iran negotiations have been extended for another week, but CFTC data shows a significant reduction in long positions in crude oil. As oil prices retraced to the key support level of $87, institutions warned that the supply gap would be difficult to fill, and oil prices might surge to $150-200. Is this short-term pullback a good opportunity to buy?

With US-Iran negotiations stalled, the strength of the oil price rebound remains questionable.

Until a structural solution emerges, a reasonable strategy for crude oil might be to reduce the impulse to chase rising prices, increase skepticism about the sustainability of the rebound, and wait for policy signals that can truly reshape supply expectations.

Iran warns "every choice has a price," will crude oil return to $100?

On Monday, June 1st, the crude oil market refocused its pricing attention on risks in the Gulf region and the pace of maritime transport recovery. Brent crude traded around $94 per barrel during the European session, up about 3% on the day, but still down 17.63% over the past month; this indicates that the current rebound is not a one-sided correction, but rather a repricing from "the expectation of an agreement compressing the risk premium" to "uncertainty in the implementation of the ceasefire".

Oil prices rebound from a six-week low to $93: Geopolitical premiums and demand risks coexist in oil prices; how long can Trump's optimistic outlook last?

Israel's deepest invasion of Lebanon in 25 years, coupled with the uncompromising stance of the US and Iran on red lines, has brought geopolitical risk premiums back into play.

Goldman Sachs warns of escalating demand weakness and lowers its fourth-quarter oil price forecast.

A recent report from Goldman Sachs points out that the global crude oil market is facing a tug-of-war between supply risks and weak demand. While tensions in the Middle East could lead to supply disruptions and push up oil prices, continued weakness in European demand data suggests a pessimistic outlook for global consumption. Goldman Sachs believes its previous fourth-quarter Brent crude oil forecast of $90 faces a downside risk of approximately $10, and future oil price movements will depend on the outcome of the competition between declining demand and supply disruptions.

Inventory alerts sound as industry giants warn of a potential surge in international oil prices.

Exxon Senior Vice President Neil Chapman warned that global oil inventories are approaching "unprecedented" lows, and models show that Brent crude prices could surge to $150 to $160 per barrel once operational floor levels are reached. Chevron CEO Mike Worth stated that market buffers are "continuously diminishing," and he expects physical prices to face direct upward pressure in June and July. Goldman Sachs data shows that global inventories saw a record drop of 8.7 million barrels per day in May alone.
