燃料油日报：埃及燃料油进口需求保持旺盛-20250711

Report Summary 1) Report Industry Investment Rating - High-sulfur fuel oil: Oscillation [3] - Low-sulfur fuel oil: Oscillation [3] 2) Core View of the Report - After the OPEC meeting's production increase was confirmed, the crude oil price remained firm. The FU and LU prices are supported by the cost side, with limited downward space in the short term [1]. - The high-sulfur fuel oil market is operating weakly, with spot premiums, monthly spreads, and crack spreads declining. The demand for fuel oil in Saudi Arabia may decline year-on-year during the summer peak season, while Egypt's import demand remains strong, providing some support to the market [1]. - The low-sulfur fuel oil market currently faces limited pressure but lacks obvious drivers. The market share of low-sulfur fuel oil will be gradually replaced in the medium term due to the carbon neutrality trend in the shipping industry, and its market outlook remains weak [2]. - The current market structure of low-sulfur fuel oil is slightly stronger than that of high-sulfur fuel oil, but the structural contradiction has not been completely reversed, and the high-low sulfur spread does not have the space for a significant increase for the time being [2]. 3) Summary by Related Catalogs Market Analysis - High-sulfur Fuel Oil: The main contract of SHFE fuel oil futures closed down 0.34% at 2,972 yuan/ton. The market structure is operating weakly, and the spot supply is relatively abundant. Saudi Arabia may increase the use of crude oil during the summer peak season, leading to a year-on-year decline in fuel oil demand. Egypt's high-sulfur fuel oil imports in July are expected to reach 570,000 tons, an increase of 70,000 tons compared to last year, and there is room for upward revision. Egypt's imports mainly come from the Middle East and Russia, which helps digest the supply increase in the Middle East [1]. - Low-sulfur Fuel Oil: The main contract of INE low-sulfur fuel oil futures closed down 0.27% at 3,687 yuan/ton. The current market pressure is limited, but there is no obvious driver. The domestic production of low-sulfur fuel oil may gradually recover from a low level since June, and Brazil's supply to the Asia-Pacific region has also increased recently. In the medium term, the market share of low-sulfur fuel oil will be gradually replaced [2]. Strategy - High-sulfur: Oscillation [3] - Low-sulfur: Oscillation [3] - 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] - Spot-futures: None [3] - Options: None [3]
