DYAX 전담 분석
This week, the US rig count remained flat at 603, limiting the immediate direct shock to the oil market. However, escalating geopolitical tensions, including Iran's threat to strike undersea communication networks, increased volatility in the energy and defense sectors. Intensified conflict with Iran could increase upward pressure on oil prices due to supply disruptions, while progress in ceasefire negotiations could quickly dissolve the geopolitical premium. Therefore, monitoring related news and crude oil inventory indicators is essential.
