燃料油日报：中东燃料油供应较多，高硫油市场结构受到压制-20250710

Report Summary 1) Report Industry Investment Rating - High-sulfur fuel oil: Sideways [3] - Low-sulfur fuel oil: Sideways [3] 2) Core Viewpoints - After the OPEC meeting's production increase was confirmed, crude oil prices remained firm, and the spot fundamentals were decent. The market expected that OPEC's actual production increase would be far less than the quota. With demand in the peak season, the pressure from new supply was limited. Thus, the unilateral prices of FU and LU were supported by the cost side, and there was limited downside in the short term [1]. - The high-sulfur fuel oil market structure was weak recently, with spot discounts, monthly spreads, and crack spreads declining, indicating relatively abundant spot supply. The demand for high-sulfur fuel oil might decline year-on-year, and Middle Eastern high-sulfur fuel oil shipments had increased significantly. The high-sulfur fuel oil crack spread might need further adjustment to attract incremental demand, and the market structure would find new support after full adjustment [1]. - In the short term, the supply pressure of low-sulfur fuel oil was limited, but there was no shortage expectation. From June, domestic low-sulfur fuel oil production might gradually recover from a low level, and Brazil's supply to the Asia-Pacific region had also increased. In the medium term, the carbon neutrality trend in the shipping industry would gradually replace the market share of low-sulfur fuel oil. Overall, the low-sulfur fuel oil market lacked a continuous upward driver [2]. - Currently, the market structure of low-sulfur fuel oil was slightly stronger than that of high-sulfur fuel oil, but the structural contradiction had not completely reversed, and there was no room for a significant increase in the high-low sulfur spread [2]. 3) Strategy Summary - Cross-variety: Short the FU crack spread (FU-Brent or FU-SC) on rallies [3] - Cross-period: Short the FU2509 - FU2510 spread on rallies [3] - Futures-spot: None [3] - Options: None [3] 4) Market Data Charts - Charts related to Singapore high-sulfur and low-sulfur fuel oil spot prices, swap near-month contracts, and near-month spreads, as well as domestic fuel oil FU and low-sulfur fuel oil LU futures contract closing prices, index closing prices, near-month contract prices, near-month spreads, and trading volume and open interest are provided [4]
