DYAX 전담 분석
Reports suggesting Iran's opening of the Strait of Hormuz and expectations of stabilized oil supply acted as immediate downward pressure on the crude oil market. The dissipation of the supply disruption premium induced a drop in oil prices, easing cost burdens for related industries.
Going forward, oil prices may experience further declines or volatility depending on Iran's actual actions and the results of UN General Assembly speeches, requiring monitoring of logistics facilitation indicators in major straits.
