1 、 9/26: The intensity of the Russia-Ukraine conflict has recently increased, raising market concerns about potential supply risks and driving up international oil prices. NYMEX crude oil futures for the November contract rose by $0.74 per barrel to $65.72, a month-on-month increase of 1.14%; ICE Brent crude futures for the November contract rose by $0.71 per barrel to $70.13, a month-on-month increase of 1.02%. China's INE crude oil futures for the 2511 contract increased by 0.2 to 489.1 yuan per barrel, and rose by 5.9 to 495 yuan per barrel in the night session.
