3) It is debatable whether China is still incentivized to keep oil prices low with both local production (>5mn barrels a day) and de facto access/ownership of Russian production

4) There is a load of sector speculation around when we will see LNG / Nat Gas benchmarks reaction. The missing link is just a tiny uptick in German industrial demand.
