U.S. President Trump announced on Tuesday that the White House will provide naval escort and political risk insurance for oil tankers passing through the Strait of Hormuz. This move aims to stabilize energy prices that have surged due to Iran’s warning of attacks on ships in the strategic waterway. As a result, after the third daily limit-up in domestic crude oil futures on Tuesday night, the opening of Wednesday’s trading saw crude oil prices quickly narrow their gains to less than 7%. However, given the ongoing tense situation, market concerns about tightening oil supplies remain, and after an intraday decline, crude oil prices rebounded in the afternoon to hit the daily limit-up again. The situation is developing rapidly, and investors need to stay alert to geopolitical changes. (Everbright Futures)
