CITIC Securities Futures stated that the geopolitical situation remains the core driver of current oil prices, with oil futures following the high volatility of the geopolitical situation. CMSC pointed out that with the deterioration of the situation in the Middle East and the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, oil prices have risen rapidly in the recent period, causing a significant impact on aviation stocks. If the situation in the Middle East improves in the future, the unfavorable sentiment that suppresses aviation stocks and pushes up oil prices is expected to ease. However, it is necessary to be cautious about the short-term rapid rise in oil prices and the erosion of profits from maintaining high absolute levels in the medium term.
