[U.S. Oil Giant Predicts High Probability of Rising Oil Prices This Summer] According to a report by Jinse Finance, on May 30, citing CCTV Finance, Chevron CEO Mike Wirth stated at a conference hosted by investment firm Bernstein that global crude oil inventories are continuously declining due to the situation in Iran, and oil prices are highly likely to rise over the next two months. The Financial Times reported that Wirth's remarks reflect widespread concerns: even if conflicting parties reach a ceasefire agreement, the negative impact of the conflict on energy prices is expected to persist for several months. Additionally, according to a CNN report on the 28th, due to the ongoing geopolitical conflict in the Middle East, the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve is depleting at an unusually rapid pace in recent years, and commercial crude oil inventories are also at low levels.
