1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Views of the Report - This week, the prices of fuel oil and low - sulfur fuel oil will mainly show a narrow - range fluctuation, with LU stronger than FU. Given the current high global refinery operating rate, the supply of both high - sulfur and low - sulfur fuel oil will increase marginally. The recovery of Middle Eastern refineries has significantly boosted the global high - sulfur supply, and the positive factors from marine fuel and power generation demands have been fully priced in the market. Recently, the high - sulfur transactions in the Singapore market have weakened. For low - sulfur fuel oil, although the maintenance of Brazilian refineries has basically ended, some spot goods have not been exported to the Asia - Pacific region, so the short - term low - sulfur price will remain stable. In the domestic market, the production scheduling of major refineries is gradually recovering. With sufficient quotas, exports in June have increased significantly, and it is expected that the scale will remain stable in July and August. The domestic low - sulfur fuel oil will continue to weaken month - on - month [4]. - Valuation: FU is in the range of 2800 - 3000, and LU is in the range of 3500 - 3700 [4]. - Strategies: (1) Unilateral: Follow the upward - trending oscillation of crude oil. (2) Inter - period: The back structure of FU and LU will continue, but the increase in near - term supply will keep the monthly spread at a low level. (3) Inter - variety: The FU cracking spread has fallen to the historical average level; the LU - FU spread will remain high in the short term [4]. 3.

Report Summary 1. Investment Rating The report does not mention the industry investment rating. 2. Core Viewpoints - Considering the current mediocre fundamental performance, the short - term valuation of asphalt is expected to have no outstanding performance and may remain neutral to weak. Attention should be paid to the possible unilateral crude oil market brought by tariff policies and the geopolitical situation in the Middle East [5]. - The shipment of asphalt is slow, and the valuation continues to be weak. The supply has decreased, and the downstream demands asphalt at low prices. The brand competition in the north - south market has intensified, and the prices in some provinces are under pressure [4]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Overview - **Supply**: The capacity utilization rate of 77 domestic heavy - traffic asphalt enterprises is 28.8%, a 4.0% decrease from the previous week. The domestic asphalt processing profit has slightly increased, with a weekly average of - 524 yuan/ton, a 10 - yuan increase from the previous week. The supply in Shandong and East China has decreased, but there is an expected slight increase in Shandong next week [4]. - **Demand**: Downstream customers purchase low - priced asphalt as needed. The brand competition in the north - south market has intensified, and prices in some provinces are under pressure. Rain in Shandong has hindered terminal demand, while some terminal projects in East China are under concentrated construction, increasing the demand for 70 and modified asphalt [4]. - **Valuation**: During the week, BU fluctuated with crude oil. The weekly average price of domestic asphalt was 3784 yuan/ton, a 3 - yuan increase from the previous period. The price fluctuation range was 3764 - 3794 yuan/ton, with an expanded range. Four regions saw price drops, two regions had price increases, and one region remained stable [5]. - **Strategy**: For cross - period trading, consider partial profit - taking on reverse spreads; for cross - variety trading, consider partial profit - taking on short crack spreads [5]. 3.2 Price & Spread - **Cost Structure**: The cost of asphalt is related to various crude oils such as Brent, WTI, imported diluted asphalt, and Ma Rui crude oil. Different crude oils have different advantages in terms of raw material supply, such as no need for crude oil quotas and exemption from consumption tax [8]. - **Futures and Spot**: The report presents data on futures prices, trading volume, and positions, as well as spot prices of heavy - traffic asphalt and Ma Rui crude oil, and price differences between regions [12][13]. - **Basis and Calendar Spread**: The report shows the basis and calendar spread data of asphalt over the years [17][19]. 3.3 Fundamental Data - **Demand** - **Consumption Distribution**: The demand for asphalt is mainly in the road market (including highway construction and maintenance), waterproofing market, ship - fuel market, coking market, and export market. The road market is affected by policies, project progress, and investment [23]. - **Downstream Shipment**: From July 16 - 22, 2025, the total shipment of 54 domestic asphalt enterprises was 41.5 tons, a 0.2% increase from the previous week.

Domestic refineries include state - owned and local refineries, and imports mainly come from South Korea and Singapore. Key supply indicators include inventory, production, profit, maintenance plans, and monthly production schedules [29]. - **Production, Maintenance, and Raw Materials**: From July 18 - 24, 2025, the weekly total production of domestic asphalt was 51.7 tons, a 1.5% decrease from the previous week and a 12.1% increase from the same period last year. As of July 24, 2025, the inventory of 54 asphalt sample refineries was 72.3 tons, a 4.0% decrease from July 21, and the inventory of 104 social warehouses was 185.7 tons, a 0.1% decrease from July 21 [32]. - **Start - up**: The report shows the weekly start - up rates of asphalt refineries in different regions over the years [35]. - **Inventory**: The report presents the inventory rates of asphalt refineries and the total asphalt market inventory rates in different regions over the years [45].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The nickel price is expected to fluctuate within a range due to the resonance of macro and news factors, with the policy expectations of macro - structural adjustment and supply optimization fermenting, but the logic between fundamental verification and macro expectations may fluctuate before clear policies on nickel are implemented. The nickel ore support is weakening, and the low - cost supply increment of refined nickel and high inventory in the ferronickel segment have an impact on the price [1]. - The marginal direction of stainless steel prices is dominated by macro sentiment, and the elasticity of the real - world fundamental logic is poor. The macro policy expectations on the domestic supply - side boost commodities, but a clear policy is needed for a trend - upward movement. The supply - demand of stainless steel shows a double - weak pattern, and the price is expected to follow the macro sentiment and fluctuate within a range [2]. 3. Summaries by Related Catalogs 3.1 Nickel Fundamentals - **Macro and News Factors**: Macro policy expectations are fermenting, but no clear policies on nickel have been implemented. Short - term policy news from Indonesia is frequent but within market expectations. APNI suggests re - evaluating the HPM formula for nickel ore, and the Indonesian government may change the RKAB approval cycle [1]. - **Real - world Situation**: The support of nickel ore is weakening, with the premium starting to decline in July after an increase in Indonesian quota approvals, and the fire - method cash cost has decreased by 1.4%. Refined nickel inventory is stable in the short term, but the expected increase in low - cost supply is a drag. Ferronickel inventory is high, but marginal restocking slightly boosts the price [1]. 3.2 Stainless Steel Fundamentals - **Macro and Real - world Logic**: Macro sentiment dominates the marginal direction of steel prices. The real - world fundamental logic has poor elasticity. The macro policy expectations on the supply - side boost commodities, but specific policies are needed for a trend - upward movement [2]. - **Supply - demand Situation**: The supply - demand of stainless steel shows a double - weak pattern. The resonance production cuts in China and Indonesia from June to July have alleviated the over - supply situation.
