Recently, international crude oil prices have continued to fluctuate at high levels. The price of West Texas Intermediate crude oil on the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) has risen from $71.23 per barrel at the beginning of March to a closing price of $99.05 per barrel on March 19, with a maximum increase of over 39% for the month.

Cinda Securities believes that the fundamentals of crude oil are likely to bottom out in 2026, with oil prices expected to remain in a wide range of $55-65 per barrel under the balancing of multiple factors. In terms of demand, domestic refined oil demand has peaked, the structure of oil consumption may further deepen, and the demand for chemical oil remains in a long-term growth channel, while the slow recovery of domestic petrochemical product demand may become the main theme. Against the backdrop of an optimized supply structure and steady demand recovery, the refining industry is expected to enter a period of improving prosperity.

The Oil ETF Yifangda (159181) closely tracks the Guozhen Oil and Natural Gas Index, which selects A-share listed companies involved in oil and natural gas exploration and development, oil and gas equipment and services, gas transmission and distribution sales, among other related fields, as index samples to reflect the overall performance of listed companies in the oil and natural gas industry on the Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchanges.

The Guozhen Oil and Natural Gas Index covers the entire oil and gas industry chain, with a high weight on the three major oil companies, offering both high dividends and flexibility. At the same time, the index is undervalued, with strong resistance to drawdowns, providing a safety margin and medium to long-term beta opportunities amidst high-valued A-shares.

Whether optimistic about the oil price upcycle or seeking high-dividend defensive assets, the Oil ETF Yifangda (159181) is a quality tool for investors to position themselves for energy security and high dividend yields.
