Report Title - The report is titled "Hualian Futures Feed Weekly Report: Pay Attention to Weather Speculation in US Soybean Main Producing Areas in July and August, Soybean Meal May Be Range-Bound with an Uptrend in the Short Term" [1] Report Industry Investment Rating - No industry investment rating is provided in the report Core Viewpoint - Given the uncertainty of China-US trade policies and the potential drought in US soybean producing areas, soybean meal is expected to be range-bound with an uptrend in the short term [3] Summary by Relevant Catalogs 1. Weekly Viewpoint and Strategy Fundamental Viewpoint - In the US, rainfall in the Midwest main producing areas in the next half - month is generally unfavorable for soybean growth. In South America, it is the peak season for Brazilian soybean exports, and the premium of Brazilian soybeans has slightly rebounded. In China, the arrival volume of imported soybeans will continue to increase in the next two months, and soybean meal inventory will continue to rise, but it is still at a historical low for this period, and downstream demand will pick up in the second half of the year, which is positive for domestic soybean meal prices [4] Strategy Viewpoint and Outlook - **Unilateral**: The support level of soybean meal 2509 is recommended to refer to 2850. For options, it is recommended to continue holding out - of - the - money call options on soybean meal. **Arbitrage**: Stay on the sidelines for now. **Outlook**: Monitor the weather in US soybean producing areas, the arrival of imported soybeans, domestic soybean meal demand, and China - Canada and China - US trade relations. Overall, soybean and rapeseed meal are expected to be range - bound with an uptrend in the short term [6] 2. Industrial Chain Structure - No specific content about the industrial chain structure is summarized in the text other than the title 3. Futures and Spot Markets - Last week, soybean meal futures were range - bound with an uptrend, mainly due to the indirect positive impact of the US biofuel policy on US soybeans. The June USDA report made no adjustments to soybean data and was neutral. The spread between soybean meal and rapeseed meal fluctuated widely and is currently at a mid - level historically, so it is recommended to stay on the sidelines. The 5 - 9 spread of soybean meal was range - bound with a downtrend, and it is also recommended to stay on the sidelines [15][16][20][23] 4. Supply Side - **US Soybean Sales Data**: As of May 29, 2025, the net sales volume of US soybeans in the market year was 61,394 tons. **US Soybean Pressing Data**: As of the week of June 13, 2025, the US soybean pressing profit was $1.87 per bushel, a 25.50% increase from the previous week and a 16.52% decrease from the same period last year. **China's Soybean Import Volume**: In May 2025, China imported 1.3918 million tons of soybeans, a month - on - month increase of 783,700 tons and a year - on - year increase of 369,600 tons (36.16%). From January to May 2025, the cumulative import volume was 3.7108 million tons, a year - on - year decrease of 25,600 tons (0.69%). **China's Rapeseed Import Volume**: Data charts are provided but no specific import volume information is summarized. **Domestic Soybean and Rapeseed Pressing Data**: Data charts are provided but no specific pressing volume information is summarized [30][36][39] 5. Demand Side - **Pig Prices and Breeding Profits**: Data charts of Chinese commercial pig slaughter average price, pig - grain ratio, self - breeding profit of pigs, and purchased - pig breeding profit are provided but no specific data analysis is summarized. **Chicken Breeding Profits**: Data charts of white - feather broiler breeding profit and laying hen breeding profit are provided but no specific data analysis is summarized [54][58][63] 6. Inventory - **Domestic Soybean and Soybean Meal Inventory**: As of June 13, the national port soybean inventory was 5.996 million tons, a 1.75% decrease from the previous week and an 8.59% increase from the same period last year; domestic oil mill soybean meal inventory was 410,000 tons, a 7.19% increase from the previous week and a 58.79% decrease from the same period last year. **Domestic Feed Mill Soybean Meal Physical Inventory Days**: As of June 20, 2025, the physical inventory days of domestic feed enterprises' soybean meal were 7.74 days, a 11.75% increase from June 13 and a 4.08% increase from the same period last year. **Domestic Rapeseed and Rapeseed Meal Inventory**: As of June 13, the rapeseed inventory of major coastal oil mills was 174,000 tons, a decrease of 28,000 tons from the previous week; rapeseed meal inventory was 15,500 tons, a decrease of 3,500 tons from the previous week; and the unexecuted contract was 55,500 tons, an increase of 4,500 tons from the previous week [71][74][76]

Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. Core View of the Report The market may fluctuate, but the broader market is expected to maintain a volatile adjustment trend. With the realization of positive factors and the reality of weak fundamentals, and facing pressure above 3400 points, there is insufficient momentum for further upward movement. It is recommended for short - term trading. Hold short positions in IM2507 and long positions in MO2509 - P - 5600 [11]. Summary by Related Catalogs 1. Fundamental View - **Market Performance**: Last week, the broader market first rose and then fell, with a slight adjustment. The four major indices fluctuated and adjusted, and small and medium - cap stock indices declined more. All style indices fell, with the growth - style index having the largest decline. Most Shenwan industries fell, with textile and apparel, medicine, non - ferrous metals, and tourism sectors leading the decline. Only the banking, communication, and electronics industries rose [6][8][14]. - **Economic Data**: In May 2025, the manufacturing PMI was 49.5%, up 0.5 percentage points from the previous month; the non - manufacturing PMI was 50.3%, down 0.1 percentage points from the previous month. After Sino - US negotiations, tariffs will be reduced within 90 days, and the PMI rebounded. In terms of sub - items, production and demand recovered in May, with production up 0.9%, new orders up 0.6%, and new export orders up 2.8%. Most other indices also increased, while the inventory of finished products decreased continuously by 0.8%. In terms of prices, the ex - factory price and the purchase price of major raw materials continued to decline [8]. - **Policy**: The Politburo set the tone for the real estate market to stop falling and stabilize, boosting the capital market. The central bank created two new monetary policy tools, cut the reserve requirement ratio, and lowered interest rates to reduce the stock mortgage rate. The CSRC proposed mergers, acquisitions, and market value management to enhance market activity. The implementation plan for promoting the entry of long - term funds into the market was officially released, which is expected to add 800 billion yuan of long - term funds to the A - share market annually [8]. - **Earnings**: In terms of revenue, the revenue growth rates of the ChiNext, ChiNext, and CSI 500 indices increased, while those of the CSI 1000, SSE Composite Index, SSE 50, and CSI 300 indices declined. In terms of net profit attributable to the parent, except for the SSE Composite Index, the net profit growth rates of the ChiNext, Shenzhen Component Index, CSI 1000, SSE 50, CSI 500, and CSI 300 indices all increased significantly. Although the performance of the entire A - share market shows signs of stabilization, the 30% increase in tariffs imposed by the US since the second quarter may affect the fundamentals of the A - share market, and the A - share performance may bottom out again [8]. - **Valuation**: The valuation of the SSE Composite Index is 14.6431, at the 68.72 percentile since 2010. The valuation of the ChiNext is relatively low [9][65]. - **Funding**: From April 7 to June 20, 2025, the ETF scale increased by 138.3 billion yuan, with an increase of 12.9 billion yuan last week, which was the first increase after continuous reductions since May. In terms of margin trading, there was a net inflow of 274.8 billion yuan in 2024; as of June 12, 2025, there was a net outflow of 44.9 billion yuan in 2025, and a net inflow of 2 billion yuan in the first five trading days. At the end of 2024, the assets of the national team and insurance funds showed a net increase, while the assets of the Shanghai - Hong Kong and Shenzhen - Hong Kong Stock Connect showed a net decrease. Specifically, the assets of Central Huijin and insurance funds increased [9]. 2. Strategy View and Outlook - **Market Outlook**: The broader market showed a weak and volatile trend last Friday, with a brief rebound in the morning. The performance of the four major indices was divergent, with large - cap stock indices rising and small and medium - cap stock indices falling. The ratio of rising to falling stocks in individual sectors rebounded from a low level by 0.43. After two consecutive days of adjustment, the Hong Kong stock market rebounded, and market sentiment may have improved. Sino - US negotiations achieved important progress, and the positive factors in mid - May were realized. With the implementation of reserve requirement ratio cuts and interest rate cuts, subsequent policies may enter a wait - and - see period, and the focus of the market may shift to the domestic fundamentals. From the recent CPI and PPI data, CPI and PPI continued to decline more than expected, and the problem of domestic over - capacity is still significant. In addition, the negative impact of the additional tariffs imposed this year on the fundamentals may gradually emerge. Technically, after continuous volatile climbs, the short - term technical indicators are under pressure. The broader market, CSI 500, and CSI 1000 indices showed divergence structures in the minute - level sequences, and the broader market faced pressure when continuously attacking 3400 points. Technically, it may face adjustment. In summary, with the realization of positive factors and the weak reality, and facing pressure above 3400 points, there is insufficient momentum for further upward movement. It is expected that the broader market will continue to maintain a volatile adjustment, and the market may fluctuate. It is recommended for short - term trading [11]. - **Operation Suggestion**: Hold short positions in IM2507 and long positions in MO2509 - P - 5600 [11]. 3. Index and Industry Trend Review - **Index Performance**: Last week, the broader market first rose and then fell, with a slight adjustment. The four major indices fluctuated and adjusted, and small and medium - cap stock indices declined more [6][14]. - **Style and Industry Index**: All style indices fell last week, with the growth - style index having the largest decline. Most Shenwan industries fell, with textile and apparel, medicine, non - ferrous metals, and tourism sectors leading the decline. Only the banking, communication, and electronics industries rose [8][16]. 4. Main Contract and Basis Trend - **Index Adjustment**: The four major indices fluctuated and adjusted, with small and medium - cap stock indices having more adjustments. On Friday, due to delivery, the basis narrowed and there was a premium [19]. - **Arbitrage Relationship**: In terms of arbitrage among main contracts, IC/IF and IC/IH may decline again after a downward rebound, IH/IF stabilizes after a volatile adjustment, and IM/IF and IM/IH continue to decline after a downward rebound [24]. 5. Policy and Economy - **PMI Data**: In May 2025, the manufacturing PMI was 49.5%, up 0.5 percentage points from the previous month; the non - manufacturing PMI was 50.3%, down 0.1 percentage points from the previous month. After Sino - US negotiations, tariffs will be reduced within 90 days, and the PMI rebounded. In terms of sub - items, production and demand recovered in May, with production up 0.9%, new orders up 0.6%, and new export orders up 2.8%. Most other indices also increased, while the inventory of finished products decreased continuously by 0.8%. In terms of prices, the ex - factory price and the purchase price of major raw materials continued to decline [8][28]. - **PPI and Inventory Cycle**: Generally, PPI leads the inventory cycle (ranging from 1 month to 1 year, with an average of about half a year). PPI bottomed out and rebounded in June 2023, weakened after two months, and has seen a continuous narrowing of the decline since March 2024, with the decline widening again since July and narrowing again until March 2025, and then widening for three consecutive months. In April, the revenue of industrial enterprises fell back to 3.2%, and the inventory fell by 3.9% in March. In the past two years, inventory and revenue have shown a steady recovery, in the stage of active inventory replenishment. With the decline of PPI again, it is expected to enter the stage of passive inventory replenishment [30]. - **Social Financing and Credit**: In May 2025, the year - on - year increase in social financing continued to be 224.6 billion yuan, with government bonds increasing by 236.7 billion yuan, and the increase significantly narrowed. The year - on - year increase in credit was 330 billion yuan less, mainly due to a 210 - billion - yuan decrease in corporate loans, including a 23 - billion - yuan increase in short - term loans and a 17 - billion - yuan decrease in medium - and long - term loans [32]. - **Medium - and Long - Term Credit Growth**: The medium - and long - term credit growth rate has been falling for 24 consecutive months to 6.78% as of May 2025, hitting a new low since 2011 [7][35]. - **Policy on Long - Term Funds**: The implementation plan for promoting the entry of long - term funds into the market aims to increase the investment scale and proportion of long - term funds in A - shares. For public funds, it is clear that the market value of A - shares held by public funds should increase by at least 10% annually in the next three years. For commercial insurance funds, large - scale state - owned insurance companies are expected to invest 30% of their newly added premiums in A - shares annually starting from 2025, which means adding at least several hundred billion yuan of long - term funds to A - shares annually. The second - batch pilot program for long - term stock investment of insurance funds will be implemented in the first half of 2025, with a scale of no less than 100 billion yuan, and will be gradually expanded later. The implementation plan also extends the assessment cycle, aiming to improve the stability of long - term fund investment behavior [37]. - **Other Policies**: The Politburo set the tone for the real estate market to stop falling and stabilize, boost the capital market, and promote the entry of long - term funds. The central bank created new monetary policy tools, including a securities, funds, and insurance companies swap facility with an initial scale of 500 billion yuan, and a stock repurchase and increase loan with an initial scale of 300 billion yuan. There were also reserve requirement ratio cuts, interest rate cuts, and measures to support the real estate market and the real economy, such as increasing the quota of re - loans for scientific and technological innovation and technical transformation, setting up a "service consumption and elderly care re - loan", and creating a risk - sharing tool for scientific and technological innovation bonds [38][39][41]. 6. Revenue and Net Profit of Each Index - **Annual Report**: Except for the CSI 500, the year - on - year growth rates of the operating revenues of each index in the 2024 annual report declined. In terms of net profit attributable to the parent, the year - on - year growth of the SSE 50 index continued, the CSI 300 index had a slight increase, and the CSI 500, ChiNext, and Shenzhen Component Indexes declined to varying degrees [50]. - **First - Quarter Report**: In terms of revenue, the revenue growth rates of the Shenzhen Component Index, ChiNext, and CSI 500 indices increased, while those of the CSI 1000, SSE Composite Index, SSE 50, and CSI 300 indices declined. In terms of net profit attributable to the parent, the net profit growth rates of the ChiNext, Shenzhen Component Index, CSI 1000, SSE 50, CSI 500, CSI 300, and SSE Composite Indexes all increased significantly [56]. - **Performance Outlook**: Although the performance of the entire A - share market shows signs of stabilization, the 30% increase in tariffs imposed by the US since the second quarter may affect the fundamentals of the A - share market, and the A - share performance may bottom out again [60]. 7. Valuation - **SSE Composite Index Valuation**: The valuation of the SSE Composite Index is 14.6431, at the 68.72 percentile since 2010 [9][65]. - **Valuation of Each Index**: The report provides the PE percentiles of each index from 2010 to June 2025, showing that the ChiNext has a relatively low valuation [66]. 8. Funding - **ETF Scale**: From April 7 to June 20, 2025, the ETF scale increased by 138.3 billion yuan, with an increase of 12.9 billion yuan last week, which was the first increase after continuous reductions since May [69]. - **Margin Trading**: There was a net inflow of 274.8 billion yuan in margin trading in 2024; as of June 12, 2025, there was a net outflow of 44.9 billion yuan in 2025, and a net inflow of 2 billion yuan in the first five trading days [76]. - **Primary Market Financing**: As of last weekend, the IPO financing in 2023 was 356.5 billion yuan, 67.3 billion yuan in 2024, and 37.1 billion yuan in 2025 [79]. - **ETF Share and Scale**: In the week from June 13 to June 20, 2025, the ETF share increased by 29.252 billion shares (+0.83%), reaching 3556.49 billion shares; the total scale decreased by 37.137 billion yuan (-0.77%), to 4812.054 billion yuan [82]. - **Secondary Market Shareholder Transactions**: Last week, major shareholders in the secondary market continued to have a net reduction of 3.58 billion yuan [85]. - **Restricted - Share Unlocking**: The unlocking volume from March to June is not large [88].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The cost - side calcium carbide prices are weak, while ethylene prices show a slight rebound, but overall, the valuation drive remains insufficient. Recently, the strong performance of crude oil due to geopolitical factors has provided some stimulation to the market. The supply - demand situation of PVC continues to be weak, and attention should be mainly paid to external influences [5]. - Operationally, aggressive investors can take a small - scale long position. For the 2509 contract, the support level can be referred to as 4780, and investors can buy and hold put options for protection [5]. 3. Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Periodic and Spot Market - Last week, the negative value of the PVC 1 - 5 spread narrowed and was higher year - on - year. The 5 - 9 spread remained stable month - on - month and was lower year - on - year. The overall futures monthly spread structure still maintained a contango pattern with higher prices in the distant future, indicating that expectations are stronger than the current situation [12]. - The 9 - 1 spread was weakly stable last week and was higher year - on - year. The basis of the main contract remained stable month - on - month and was higher year - on - year [15]. 3.2 Supply Side 3.2.1 PVC Capacity and Output - As of now, the effective PVC production capacity is 28 million tons, with the second - phase 300,000 - ton/year new capacity of Shaanxi Jintai. Last week, the PVC output was 462,300 tons, a month - on - month decrease of 0.8% and a year - on - year increase of 0.33%, mainly due to the maintenance of Henan Yuhang and Xinjiang Zhongtai Huatai plants [19]. 3.2.2 Calcium Carbide Method Capacity and Output - As of now, the effective calcium carbide - based PVC production capacity is 20.33 million tons, accounting for about 72.6%. Last week, the output was 343,400 tons, a month - on - month decrease of 1.63% and a year - on - year decrease of 0.72% [22]. 3.2.3 Ethylene Method Capacity and Output - As of now, the effective ethylene - based PVC production capacity is 7.67 million tons, accounting for about 27.4%. Last week, the output was 118,900 tons, a month - on - month increase of 1.71% and a year - on - year increase of 3.48% [25]. 3.2.4 PVC Start - up and Maintenance - Last week, the upstream PVC start - up rate was 78.62%, a month - on - month decrease of 0.63 percentage points and a year - on - year decrease of 0.7 percentage points, at a neutral level in the same period. The maintenance loss was 125,700 tons [28]. - Last week, the start - up rate of calcium carbide - based PVC was 80.43%, a month - on - month decrease of 1.34 percentage points and a year - on - year increase of 0.53 percentage points, at a high level in the same period. The start - up rate of ethylene - based PVC was 73.81%, a month - on - month decrease of 1.22 percentage points and a year - on - year decrease of 2.48 percentage points, at a relatively low level in the same period [32]. 3.2.5 PVC and Product Imports - From January to April 2025, the cumulative PVC import volume was 85,600 tons, a year - on - year increase of 2.52%. From January to April, the import volume of plastics and their products in China was 6.8615 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 0.11% [37]. 3.3 Demand Side 3.3.1 Apparent Consumption and Production - Sales Ratio - From January to April 2025, the cumulative apparent consumption of PVC was 6.7463 million tons, a year - on - year decrease of 3.33%. Last week, the PVC production - sales ratio was 140%, a month - on - month increase of 3 percentage points and a year - on - year increase of 2 percentage points [42]. 3.3.2 Downstream Start - up Rate - The start - up rate of downstream products was generally weak. Affected by the traditional rainy - season off - season, the start - up of pipe and profile enterprises continued to decline, and the real estate at the macro level still dragged down the terminal demand [45]. 3.3.3 Exports - From January to April 2025, the cumulative export volume of Chinese PVC was 1.3365 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 54.27%, with an obvious export - grabbing effect. PVC powder was mainly exported to India, Vietnam, Uzbekistan, etc., and the proportion of exports to India was 43.9% [52]. - From January to April 2025, the cumulative export volume of Chinese PVC floor covering materials was 141.8 tons, a year - on - year decrease of 6.67%. They were mainly exported to Europe and the United States. Among them, the proportion of exports to the United States was 27.6%, Canada 9.4%, Germany 5.6%, Australia 3.6%, and the Netherlands 3.5%. Against the background of the tariff war, the export of products to the United States is expected to continue to shrink [54]. 3.3.4 Real Estate and Infrastructure - From a macro perspective, PVC is a commodity with a post - cycle demand in the real estate industry, and its downstream demand is closely related to the real estate industry. From January to May 2025, the national real estate development investment decreased by 10.7% year - on - year, the floor area under construction decreased by 9.2% year - on - year, the new construction area decreased by 22.8%, the completed area decreased by 17.3%, and the sales area of newly - built commercial housing decreased by 2.9% year - on - year. The real estate market generally performed stably, and local policy optimization mainly focused on optimizing the provident fund policy. In the first half of June, driven by improved supply and real - estate enterprise promotions, the new - home market in key cities continued to recover, but the differentiation between cities and between new and old projects would still continue, and policy support was still needed to stop the market decline and promote stability [57]. - In terms of infrastructure, in May, the full - caliber and narrow - caliber (excluding electricity, heat, gas, and water) infrastructure investment growth rates were 9.2% and 5.1% respectively, down 0.3 and 0.1 percentage points from January to March. As constraints are expected to be further alleviated, infrastructure investment may maintain high - speed growth [57]. 3.4 Inventory - Last week, the domestic PVC social inventory (21 companies) was 355,100 tons, remaining the same month - on - month and a year - on - year decrease of 41.19%. The PVC social inventory (41 companies) was 569,300 tons, a month - on - month decrease of 0.75% and a year - on - year decrease of 38%. Downstream enterprises replenished inventory at low prices, and export deliveries increased [59]. - The enterprise inventory was 401,600 tons, a month - on - month increase of 1.29% and a year - on - year increase of 25.23%. The number of registered warehouse receipts continued to increase [64]. 3.5 Valuation 3.5.1 Blue Coke and Calcium Carbide - Last week, the blue - coke price remained stable and was lower year - on - year. The calcium carbide price was weakly stable, with the mainstream price in Wuhai area reported at 2,350 yuan/ton. The power cost decreased, and the decline in the start - up rate of calcium carbide enterprises was less than expected [68]. 3.5.2 Ethylene and Vinyl Chloride - Last week, the ethylene price rebounded month - on - month and was slightly lower year - on - year. The domestic and imported ethylene supplies were relatively tight, and the sharp increase in ethane and crude oil pushed up costs. The vinyl chloride price remained stable month - on - month and was lower year - on - year [71]. 3.5.3 Liquid Caustic Soda and Liquid Chlorine - Last week, the price of liquid caustic soda decreased month - on - month and was higher year - on - year. The price of liquid chlorine decreased month - on - month and was weaker year - on - year [74]. 3.5.4 PVC Profit - Last week, the loss of externally - purchased calcium carbide - based PVC narrowed slightly month - on - month but was still at the highest loss level in the same period over the years; the loss of ethylene - based PVC widened again month - on - month and was also at the weakest level in the same period [77]. 3.5.5 Chlor - Alkali Profit - Last week, the production profit of Shandong chlor - alkali decreased month - on - month and was higher year - on - year [81].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content 2. Core View of the Report - The repeated escalation of the geopolitical situation in the Middle East, the breakdown of the Iran nuclear negotiations, and the resulting conflicts in the Middle East support the strengthening of oil prices. The supply side is affected by geopolitical factors, with Iran's 3 million barrels per day of crude oil supply potentially threatened, and the market is worried about the obstruction of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, involving 16 million barrels per day of crude oil supply. Although eight OPEC+ producing countries plan to increase production, the actual production in April decreased month - on - month, indicating uncertainty in the production increase process. On the demand side, the US enters the driving season, and crude oil demand is expected to increase seasonally. Although China's crude oil processing demand declined in May, demand is expected to be further boosted with the suspension of tariffs and the expectation of pre - export rush. The report suggests holding long positions [4]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1. Week - on - Week View and Strategy - **Inventory**: US commercial crude oil inventories decreased by 11.5 million barrels last week, the largest decline since the week of June 28, 2024, and the inventory level was the lowest since January. The Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) increased by 200,000 barrels. Gasoline and distillate inventories increased. US crude oil net imports decreased by 1.75 million barrels per day, and exports increased by 1.1 million barrels per day to 4.4 million barrels per day [4][20]. - **Supply**: Affected by geopolitical factors, Iran's 3 million barrels per day of crude oil supply may be threatened, and the market is worried about the obstruction of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, involving 16 million barrels per day of crude oil supply. The US crude oil production remained at 13.4 million barrels per day last week. Eight OPEC+ countries plan to increase production by 411,000 barrels per day in July, and the cumulative production increase from April to July is expected to be 1.371 million barrels per day. However, the actual production in April decreased month - on - month, indicating uncertainty in the production increase process. There are also uncertainties in supply due to the Israel - Iran conflict, sanctions on Russian and Venezuelan crude oil, and the US shale oil production reaching its ceiling [4]. - **Demand**: The US refinery capacity utilization rate decreased by 1.1 percentage points to 93.2%, and the crude oil processing volume decreased by 364,000 barrels per day. As the summer driving season arrives, gasoline demand will increase. In May, China's crude oil processing slowed down, with a year - on - year decrease of 1.8%. Overall, the demand side is expected to increase steadily, with strong demand in the US and stable demand in China [4]. - **Strategy**: Hold long positions [4] 3.2. Balance Sheet and Industrial Chain Structure - **Global Supply - Demand Balance Sheet**: The report provides detailed data on global crude oil production, consumption, and inventory changes from January 2024 to December 2025, including production and consumption in OPEC and non - OPEC countries, as well as OECD and non - OECD countries [6]. - **Industrial Chain Structure**: The report shows the industrial chain structure of crude oil, including the processing of crude oil through the atmospheric and vacuum distillation unit, and then further processing into various products such as naphtha, ethylene, propylene, etc. [9] 3.3. Futures - Spot Market - The report presents multiple charts related to the futures - spot market, including domestic and foreign price spreads, monthly spreads, and freight indices, etc., but no specific analysis of these data is provided [11][15][16] 3.4. Inventory - **US Inventory**: US commercial crude oil inventories decreased, while gasoline and distillate inventories increased. The Strategic Petroleum Reserve increased slightly. The inventory level of Cushing decreased [4][20]. - **China Inventory**: In May, China's inventory increment decreased due to a decline in imported crude oil and a month - on - month decrease in crude oil processing demand. The INE crude oil warehouse receipts in the Shanghai Energy Exchange have recently remained at a low level, indicating a low level of deliverable warehouse receipts [25][28] 3.5. Supply Side - **OPEC Production**: OPEC's monthly report shows that the average daily crude oil production of OPEC+ in May was 41.23 million barrels, an increase of 180,000 barrels compared to April. Eight OPEC+ countries plan to increase production, but there is uncertainty in the production increase process [32][33]. - **US Production**: The US crude oil production remained at 13.4 million barrels per day last week. The US shale oil production has reached its ceiling, and the growth space is limited due to the reduction of capital expenditure by oil companies in the early stage. The US oil rig count, a leading indicator of future production, has remained at a stable level, indicating a low probability of future production increase [37][39]. 3.6. Demand Side - **China Demand**: In May, China's crude oil processing slowed down, but overall, the travel demand is strong, and it is expected to drive the recovery of crude oil consumption. China's crude oil imports in May were 46.6 million tons, and the cumulative imports from January to May increased slightly year - on - year.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content 2. Core View of the Report - The short - term macro trade disputes have improved, and the positive macro impact has been mostly reflected in the market. With the continuous improvement of supply and demand, nickel prices are expected to be boosted. However, there are still uncertainties in the timely increase of Indonesia's nickel ore RKAB approval quota, and policy disturbance risks remain. The Indonesian government's increase in the privilege use fee for nickel resources has raised the supply - side cost. The recommended strategy is to conduct short - term long trading on the SHFE nickel 2507 contract and sell out - of - the - money put options. Later, attention should be paid to changes in the mining end, stainless steel production, and trade disputes [8]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1.
