  "account": "TD Securities analysts Ryan McKay and Bart Melek assert that WTI Crude continues to climb higher, as the conflict with Iran remains unresolved. They point to ongoing market tightness, even though some relief has been seen in the deficit, and caution that renewed attacks and heightened Chinese involvement could exacerbate supply issues, perpetuating the bullish trend for Oil prices. The analysts highlight that the escalating conflict and inclination towards limited strikes and economic pressure rather than resolution keep the energy market on a tightening trajectory. While the level of crude market deficit has softened due to stabilization in higher dark flow volumes, the overall market remains tight. Additional tightness could still emerge as a result of these renewed attacks and growing indications that China is becoming more active in the market. The authors have argued that tapping into Chinese refining capacity could ease product market pressure, but this would essentially transfer a portion of the extreme product tightness to the crude market. TD Securities maintains that the path of least resistance for crude oil remains to the upside, even as prices approach triple digits again.",
