Oil Prices Set For Weekly Gain Amid Russia-Ukraine Tensions
Despite the current price surge, oil markets face challenges ahead. Analysts predict a significant supply surplus in 2025, with attention focused on potential OPEC+ moves to reactivate idle production. Weak demand from China, which continues to struggle with prolonged economic difficulties, could also weigh on prices.
Oil prices are on track for their largest weekly increase since early October, driven by escalating hostilities in the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
油價正朝着自10月初以來最大周漲幅的方向發展，這主要是受到俄羅斯和烏克蘭衝突升級的驅動。
West Texas Intermediate (WTI) traded near US$70 per barrel, marking a gain of more than 4% for the week, while Brent crude settled above US$74. This rise comes as Ukraine reported the use of a "new" type of Russian ballistic missile, alongside Ukraine's deployment of Western-provided long-range weaponry.
西德克薩斯中質油（WTI）交易接近每桶70美元，周漲幅超過4%，而布倫特原油收於每桶74美元以上。這一上漲正值烏克蘭報道稱使用了一種「新」型俄羅斯彈道導彈，同時烏克蘭部署了西方提供的開多武器。
The Kremlin's recent revision of its nuclear doctrine further highlights the intensifying conflict, following months of fierce attrition on both sides.

儘管當前油價激增，但油市面臨前方挑戰。分析師預測2025年將出現顯著的供應過剩，市場關注潛在的OPEC+行動以重新啓動閒置生產。由於中國面臨持續的經濟困難，需求疲軟也可能壓低價格。
