Phillip Securities (Thailand) noted that the key drivers for oil and refinery stocks stem from a strong rebound in oil prices, following a 5% single-day surge in crude prices.

This spike was triggered by the U.S. announcing sanctions against two major Russian oil companies, whose combined output accounts for more than 5% of global oil production. This development supports oil and refinery stocks such as PTTEP, TOP, BCP, SPRC, and IRPC.

Following these, the analyst recommends a ‘Trading’ strategy for short-term speculation.
