- Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - High - sulfur fuel oil spot window trading volume decreased compared to last week but remained active. High inventories in Singapore pressured the spot premium to decline slightly, while high - sulfur cracking was supported by geopolitical factors and peak - season power generation demand. Low - sulfur fuel oil spot premium fluctuated, with supply continuously increasing and downstream demand remaining weak. The recommended strategy is to stay on the sidelines for single - sided trading, pay attention to geopolitical and macro - level disturbances, and consider going long on the FU9 - 1 calendar spread when the price is low [3][4] 3.

South Asia's power generation demand peak was in the second - quarter summer. Middle - East high - sulfur power generation demand increased in advance [19] - China, India, and UAE: China's refinery procurement willingness decreased recently, while India's and UAE's feedstock demand increased [22] - High - sulfur marine fuel demand: Demand was stably supported, and the marginal increase came from the stable growth in the number of ships equipped with desulfurization towers [23] 3.2.3 Low - sulfur Fuel Oil - South Sudan: External raw material supply recovered, and export tenders continued [26] - Al - Zour refinery: Exports remained at a high level, and supply to the pan - Singapore area increased month - on - month [27] - Nigeria: Near - term low - sulfur supply was abundant, all directed towards Singapore [30] - China: The domestic low - sulfur market had stable production, and the planned production in June was expected to increase [36] 3.3 Weekly Data Tracking 3.3.1 Price and Spread Data - Fuel oil spot prices, high - sulfur fuel oil cross - region and cross - period spreads, low - sulfur fuel oil cross - region and cross - variety spreads, natural gas - fuel oil price ratios, cross - region freight rates, and Singapore bunkering spreads were presented in graphical forms [41][47][53] 3.3.2 Inventory Data - Singapore's on - shore fuel oil inventory increased by 5.0% week - on - week to 3.734 million tons.
