On May 30, according to CCTV Finance, during a conference hosted by investment firm Bernstein, Chevron CEO Mike Wirth stated that due to the situation in Iran, global crude oil inventories are continuously declining, and oil prices are likely to rise in the next two months. The Financial Times reported that Wirth's remarks reflect widespread concerns: even if the conflicting parties reach a ceasefire agreement, the negative impact of the conflict on energy prices will persist for months. Additionally, CNN reported on the 28th that due to the ongoing geopolitical conflicts in the Middle East, the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve is declining at a rare pace not seen in recent years, and commercial crude oil inventories are also at low levels.
