  1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - As of July 7, 2025, the crude oil market showed mixed characteristics. Short - term oil prices are expected to remain high and volatile, with the central price likely to rise by $2 - 3. OPEC+ production increase and geopolitical risks offset each other, and the actual production increase effect depends on Saudi Arabia's production release rhythm [2][3]. - The inventory structure shows regional differentiation. The tension in the Middle East may delay the crude oil shipping cycle, and the disruption of Red Sea transportation may trigger European refineries' restocking demand [3]. - The demand in the Indian market provides support. In June, gasoline consumption increased by 6.9% year - on - year, and the total fuel consumption reached 20.31 million tons. The increasing willingness of Asian refineries to start operations drives the cracking profit to expand [2]. 3.
