Although the meeting between the US and Russian leaders did not yield substantial results, Trump said the talks were "very smooth," and the US will not impose further sanctions on Russia for now. The relationship between the two countries has improved, and oil prices continued their weak performance [6]. - **Fundamentals**: As of the week ending on the 8th, US gasoline consumption rebounded. After five consecutive weeks of consumption below the same period in 2024, the growth rate barely turned positive.

The actual performance of refined - oil consumption was not optimistic. With the peak travel season coming to an end, demand support was limited [7]. - **Overall Outlook**: This year's peak - season consumption in the US showed no significant improvement, and oil prices were mainly bearish. In the short term, oil prices were bottoming out, and in the medium term, they might decline again under inventory pressure [7]. Group 3: Industry News - Angola plans to cut its oil exports to 994,000 barrels per day in October [8]. - The US Treasury Secretary plans to raise tariffs on India for buying Russian oil, stating that India's arbitrage through Russian oil is unacceptable [8]. - In July, India's imports of Russian crude oil decreased. Partly because Reliance Industries, the world's largest refinery operator, reduced its purchases by 19% from the previous month's high. Between August and September, Indian state - owned refineries will seek alternative oil sources from the Middle East or the US to replace Russian oil. However, sources said that due to the increased discount of Russian oil, Indian state - owned refineries have placed orders for Russian oil. The Russian embassy in India said the discount for Russian oil to India is about 5%, and Russian oil is highly competitive with no current substitutes. India's oil imports will remain at a similar level [8]. Group 4: Data Overview - The report provides data on global high - frequency crude oil inventories, WTI and Brent fund positions, spot prices of WTI, Brent, and Oman, US crude oil production growth rate, and EIA crude oil inventories, with data sources including Bloomberg, wind, CFTC, and EIA [10][12][20][23]

Technically, there is a short - term adjustment need, so be cautious about chasing high [8]. - Palm oil is expected to maintain a high - level shock consolidation trend. Although the export growth rate has narrowed and production is seasonally increasing with expected inventory growth in August - September, Indian import demand may rebound in August [8]. - Due to domestic tariff policies, the supply of domestic rapeseed oil and rapeseed meal is expected to decrease significantly, and the logic of going long remains until the supply shortage pattern is significantly repaired [8]. - For soybean oil, the short - term inventory is high and the supply is abundant, but it is bullish in the long - term due to biodiesel policies in the US and Brazil, possible reduction in soybean imports in the fourth quarter, and warming domestic demand [8]. - In terms of arbitrage, it is recommended to overweight rapeseed oil and underweight soybean oil [8]. Summary by Directory 1. Market Review and Operation Suggestions - **Market Review**: In the East China market, the basis price of rapeseed oil and soybean oil has different performance in different months. For example, the basis of East China third - grade rapeseed oil in August is OI2601 + 130, and the basis of one - grade soybean oil in the spot market is 01 + 170 [7]. - **Operation Suggestions**: For palm oil, expect high - level shock consolidation; for rapeseed oil, maintain the long - buying logic; for soybean oil, be bullish in the long - term; and in arbitrage, overweight rapeseed oil and underweight soybean oil [8]. 2.

Report Information - Report Title: Treasury Bond Daily Report [1] - Date: August 21, 2025 [2] - Researcher: He Zhuoqiao, Huang Wenxin, Nie Jiayi [3] Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Core Viewpoints - Long - term, the bullish foundation of the bond market remains unchanged as the Politburo meeting in July maintained the "moderately loose" stance on monetary policy, and there are uncertainties in tariffs and potential risks of export decline after front - loading. However, in the short term, the stock - bond seesaw effect has strengthened since late June, and the bullish equity market has put pressure on the bond market. The marginal weakening of July's fundamental data still shows short - term resilience, making it difficult to trigger a significant increase in easing sentiment. The short - term rebound of the bond market is unlikely to form a trend. A similar situation occurred from February to March this year, and it may require the alleviation of relevant negative factors for the bond market to stabilize and rise again. It is recommended to maintain the strategy of going long on short - term bonds and short on long - term bonds [11][12] Summary by Directory 1. Market Review and Operation Suggestions - **Market Conditions**: The stock - bond seesaw continued.

By 16:30 pm, the yield of the 10 - year treasury bond active bond 250011 reported 1.7825%, up 1.65bp [9] - **Funding Market**: The central bank actively protected the funding market. The inter - bank funding market tightened in the morning and loosened again in the afternoon. There were 218.5 billion yuan of reverse repurchase maturities, and the central bank conducted 616 billion yuan of reverse repurchase operations, achieving a net injection of 397.5 billion yuan. The tax - payment period disturbance was gradually weakening. The short - term funding rates increased slightly, with the overnight weighted rate of inter - bank deposits rising 0.29bp to 1.47% and the 7 - day rate rising 2.28bp to 1.568%. The medium - and long - term funds were stable, and the 1 - year AAA certificate of deposit rate remained around 1.6% [10] - **Conclusion**: Long - term bullish foundation unchanged, but short - term pressure exists. Maintain the strategy of going long on short - term bonds and short on long - term bonds [11][12] 2.
