Oil Prices Near $120 Per Barrel; South Korea To Impose Price Cap For First Time In Nearly 30 Years
March 9 — As the Middle East conflict continues to escalate, driving up global oil prices, the South Korean government has taken emergency action. President Lee Chan-min, at an emergency economic meeting on Monday, called for the “swift introduction and bold implementation of a maximum oil price system” to curb excessive price hikes. He made these remarks as international oil prices neared $120 per barrel—reaching their highest level since 2022. Production cuts by Middle Eastern oil-producing countries, the ongoing blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, and escalating U.S. threats of deeper involvement in the conflict have continued to strain energy markets. South Korea relies almost entirely on imported energy, with approximately 70% of its oil imports passing through the Strait of Hormuz. This proposed oil price cap mechanism would mark the first time in nearly 30 years that South Korea has employed such a measure, aimed at mitigating the impact of geopolitical turmoil on the nation’s domestic energy supply chain. -

Lithium Battery Industry Sees Spring Recovery in 2026, Chain Prices Warm Up
In March 2026, China’s lithium battery industry exhibited a “strong off-season” phenomenon, with production capacity utilization increasing by 11%–22% month-on-month. Rising prices of upstream raw materials such as lithium carbonate drove a broad-based price recovery across the entire industry chain. Looking at the full year, segments including lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF6), separators, and copper/aluminum foils possess pricing upside potential; meanwhile, emerging technologies—such as solid-state batteries, sodium-ion batteries, and composite copper foils—are accelerating industrialization. Guojin Securities (600109) recommends focusing on segments with pricing power and industry leaders in solid-state battery technology.
