Recent severe fluctuations in the international crude oil market, driven by geopolitical conflicts, have focused primarily on the risk of a blockade in the Strait of Hormuz and changes in supply shocks and risk premiums triggered by the progress of US-Iran negotiations. International oil prices surged due to the breakdown of US-Iran talks, the US naval blockade on Iranian ports, and the dual blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. Although oil prices experienced sharp short-term volatility due to ceasefire expectations and negotiation news, the overall range remains at elevated levels. On the other hand, the IEA and OPEC show clear divergence in their supply and demand outlooks: the former significantly downgraded demand and emphasized the risk of supply chain damage, while the latter maintained robust supply and demand growth expectations. In terms of inventories, the US inventory structure and refining activities also showed a divergent trend of "crude oil inventory builds, with consecutive significant draws in SPR and refined products," further supporting crack spreads and refining margins.

In investment decision-making, relying solely on stock price movements is insufficient to accurately assess a company’s value. A more rational foundation can be established through systematic valuation methods. This article begins with the concept of intrinsic value, explaining the differences between book value and enterprise value, and illustrates how financial models integrate industry analysis, business models, and assumption building to derive a fair stock price. It also outlines common valuation approaches and their applications, helping investors build a comprehensive valuation framework and improve their ability to identify undervalued or overvalued stocks.

Grab’s $600 million acquisition of foodpanda’s Taiwan business has become one of the most closely watched deals in the food delivery sector in recent years. The transaction not only reflects Delivery Hero’s strategic asset restructuring under capital pressure, but also marks Grab’s official expansion beyond Southeast Asia into East Asia. As the market structure is set to evolve, Taiwan’s delivery industry may shift from a duopoly toward competition between diversified ecosystems, with the competitive focus moving away from price subsidies to platform integration, user experience, and long-term profitability.

Following the two-week ceasefire agreement between the US and Iran and the decision to hold peace talks, the market turned optimistic. Expectations that the Strait of Hormuz might reopen became the main driver for a sharp drop in oil prices. However, the negotiations broke down due to a lack of consensus, raising the risk of further conflict escalation. Under the multiple constraints of blocked shipping, damaged infrastructure, and ongoing military activities, the price center of gravity will likely remain higher than pre-war levels. The latest EIA outlook explicitly points out that shipping disruptions caused by the Middle East conflict have forced regional oil producers to shut in wells and accumulate inventory. The scale of actual supply disruptions remains as high as millions of barrels per day. Consequently, the EIA has downgraded supply and demand growth rates while significantly upgrading its oil price forecasts.

The optical communications industry is shifting from traditional telecom cycles to structural growth driven by AI data center demand. As AI clusters expand and high-performance computing requirements increase, key technologies such as 800G and 1.6T optical transceivers, silicon photonics, and co-packaged optics (CPO) are accelerating adoption, driving upgrades across the entire industry chain. With capital expenditures continuing to rise, optical communications is becoming a core pillar of AI infrastructure, though supply bottlenecks and geopolitical risks remain key factors to watch.

Short-term oil price fluctuations are driven by shipping risks in the Strait of Hormuz and expectations of US-Iran conflict. However, looking at supply and demand fundamentals, continuous larger-than-expected US crude oil inventory builds, high production levels, and increased refined product supply brought by recovering refinery utilization rates all indicate that there is no structural shortage in the physical market. At the same time, the destocking of gasoline reflects seasonal adjustments rather than a significant expansion of domestic demand, further reinforcing the divergence of strong prices against weak fundamentals.
