Trump: Dissatisfied with Iran Negotiations

U.S. President Trump stated on the 27th that Iran is unwilling to give the U.S. “what it deserves” in negotiations, and he is “very dissatisfied.”

He pointed out that the U.S. has not yet made a final decision on whether to launch a military strike against Iran, and will observe “what happens after further negotiations.” Trump also said he does not want to use force, “but sometimes it’s necessary.” He reiterated that Iran must not possess nuclear weapons.

The third round of indirect talks between the U.S. and Iran was held in Geneva, Switzerland, on the 26th. No agreement was reached, but all parties gave positive evaluations and announced plans to continue technical discussions in Vienna, Austria, on March 2. On the same day, Trump reportedly listened to military reports regarding options for military action against Iran.

According to the latest report from Xinhua News Agency, Omani Foreign Minister Badr al-Busaidi said in an interview with CBS in Washington on the 27th that Iran has agreed not to possess “nuclear material capable of making a nuclear bomb.”

Notably, countries including Cyprus, Belgium, Greece, France, Poland, and Kazakhstan have issued warnings advising their citizens to avoid traveling to Iran, Israel, and other Middle Eastern regions. The Chinese Embassy in Iran also reminded Chinese citizens in Iran to stay alert to security developments and strengthen safety precautions.

Short-term Oil Price Volatility Will Be Unavoidable

Looking ahead at oil prices, institutions generally believe that short-term fluctuations may intensify, and closely monitor the progress of U.S.-Iran negotiations and changes in Middle East tensions.

Guojin Securities stated in a research report that the crude oil market has shifted from supply and demand fundamentals to being driven by geopolitical risks. They expect high volatility in prices over the next month to be inevitable.

“Until the U.S.-Iran situation becomes clearer, oil prices are in a state of being prone to rise but difficult to fall,” the firm noted. If oil prices continue to rise due to geopolitical issues in the short term, it recommends paying attention to upstream oil and gas companies with resource advantages and offshore oil and gas service sectors benefiting from high industry prosperity. On the other hand, rising oil prices may boost chemical product prices, and if geopolitical risk premiums decline, industry costs could ease, which aligns with China’s future policies to reduce internal industry competition, favoring long-term industry restructuring and high-quality development.

Tonghui Futures pointed out that crude oil prices are under short-term high pressure. Increased production and exports from Middle Eastern countries (Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq) exert downward pressure on prices. Demand remains relatively stable, lacking strong drivers. Overall, supply increases dominate the industry chain, with significant inventory build-up signals in the U.S. If geopolitical conflicts escalate, prices may further rise; otherwise, supply growth could lead to moderate corrections.
