Trump: Dissatisfied with Iran Negotiations

On the 27th, U.S. President Trump stated that during negotiations, Iran was unwilling to give the U.S. “what they deserve,” and he was “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 you have to.” 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. The negotiations did not reach an agreement, 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, Oman’s Foreign Minister Badr al-Badri 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, Cyprus, Belgium, Greece, France, Poland, Kazakhstan, and other countries have issued reminders advising their citizens to avoid traveling to Middle Eastern regions such as Iran and Israel. China’s embassy in Iran also reminded Chinese citizens in Iran to closely monitor security developments and strengthen safety awareness.

Short-term Oil Price Volatility Is Unavoidable

Looking ahead at oil prices, institutions generally believe that short-term price fluctuations may intensify, and close attention should be paid to the progress of U.S.-Iran negotiations and changes in Middle East situations.

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.

“Before the U.S.-Iran situation clarifies, crude oil prices are in a state of being prone to rise but difficult to fall,” the firm noted. If geopolitical issues continue to push prices upward in the short term, it is recommended to focus on upstream companies with oil and gas resources and offshore oil and gas service sectors that benefit from high industry prosperity. On the other hand, rising oil prices may boost chemical product price expectations, and if geopolitical risk premiums decline, industry costs could decrease. Considering China’s future industrial policies aimed at “countering internal competition,” this could favor the long-term optimization and high-quality development of the chemical industry.

Tonghui Futures pointed out that crude oil prices are under short-term high-level 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 accumulation signals from the U.S. If geopolitical conflicts escalate, prices may further rise; otherwise, supply growth could lead to moderate corrections.
