However, the crisis in the Strait of Hormuz has reshaped the risk-return profile of the oil and gas sector; even considering that the situation may ease to some extent, it is expected that the central price of oil and gas will remain at a higher level for a longer time, with ENN Energy Holdings (02688.HK) and NEWAY (603699.SH) preferred as targets for their positive outlook on the sector. Daiwa indicated that short-term risk-return is dominated by the U.S.-Iran conflict and the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz, which has significantly pushed up TTF (Dutch Title Transfer Facility) and liquefied natural gas benchmark prices (JKM); although after Trump stated that the war might end soon, Brent crude oil and Dutch gas trading center prices have fallen about 30% from their highs, it is expected that oil and gas prices will still remain structurally high in the medium term, with Brent crude oil prices fluctuating in a new range of $75 to $90 per barrel, and liquefied natural gas benchmark prices fluctuating in the range of $15 to $18 per million British thermal units. Daiwa maintains a cautious stance on urban gas stocks, believing that the recent rise in natural gas prices will erode their near-term profit margins, and also believes that China Resources Gas (01193.HK) and other distributors with a high proportion of liquefied natural gas will become the main victims if the Dutch gas trading center and liquefied natural gas benchmark prices remain high for longer than expected ### Related Stocks - [MLPA.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MLPA.US.md) - [EMLP.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/EMLP.US.md) - [AMLP.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/AMLP.US.md) - [603699.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/603699.CN.md) - [MLPX.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MLPX.US.md) - [UNG.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/UNG.US.md) - [TPYP.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TPYP.US.md) - [XNGSY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/XNGSY.US.md) - [XOP.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/XOP.US.md) ## Related News & Research - [US natural gas futures hit 2-month high, heat seen boosting power demand](https://longbridge.com/en/news/286956590.md) - [Cheniere’s Corpus Christi Stage 3 Train 6 produces first LNG](https://longbridge.com/en/news/286934320.md) - [US LNG export plant gas flows set to hit 16-week low despite expected return of Golden Pass](https://longbridge.com/en/news/286933315.md) - [US natural gas futures climb 3% to seven-week high as output drops](https://longbridge.com/en/news/286580886.md) - [US natgas prices dip ahead of storage report as LNG plant flows slide to 15-week low](https://longbridge.com/en/news/286427244.md)
