Over the past two weeks, oil prices have consolidated in a low range. The market has been digesting a mix of Middle East geopolitical risks, expectations of increased OPEC+ output, and fluctuations in U.S. court rulings on tariffs. Although a larger-than-expected drop in EIA inventory temporarily supported prices, increasing supply pressure and concerns about economic growth have weighed on short-term price momentum, leaving oil prices without clear upward drivers.

Over the past two weeks, international oil prices have dropped by approximately 9%. Market confidence was initially shaken by a shift in U.S. trade policy and concerns over the Federal Reserve’s independence. Sentiment later recovered following favorable policy signals. Meanwhile, several OPEC+ countries signaled a willingness to increase output, undermining confidence in previous production cut commitments and intensifying concerns over a potential supply glut. WTI prices even briefly fell below their post-pandemic lows. Although geopolitical tensions between the U.S. and Iran provided short-term support, the overall market remains bearish.

Unlike CPUs and GPUs, ASICs (Application-Specific Integrated Circuits) are pre-configured for specific applications before manufacturing. These chips are highly customized in both design and production, tailored for targeted use cases. ASICs have seen rapid growth in the AI and cloud computing markets. In the context of LLM (Large Language Model) applications, while Nvidia maintains a strong advantage in the training phase through its mature CUDA ecosystem, ASICs are expected to demonstrate significant potential in the inference phase due to their unique product attributes. Over time, a complementary ecosystem is likely to emerge, where ASICs fill specific roles alongside GPUs.

Subsequently, the U.S. announced a 90-day suspension of reciprocal tariffs for multiple countries, temporarily boosting market sentiment and prompting a sharp rebound in oil prices. Prices then rose further, supported by OPEC+’s announcement of compensatory production cuts, escalating U.S.-Iran tensions, and positive progress in U.S.-EU trade negotiations.
