Published on 2026-10-20

I. Key Points

  1. The geopolitical situations in the Middle East and between Russia and Ukraine remain unstable. However, with the U.S. granting exemptions for certain sanctions against Russia, international crude oil prices have shown mixed movements.

Core Logic: Monitor changes in market trading sentiment in the near term.
