EIA周度数据报告-20250807

Report Overview - The report is an EIA weekly data report released on August 7, 2025, focusing on the oil market in the United States [1] 1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided 2. Core Viewpoints - The gasoline demand remains persistently low during the peak season, and the US gasoline consumption market this year is disappointing compared to previous years [1][6][8] - The EIA report seems bullish on the surface as both crude oil and major refined oil inventories have declined, but the weak gasoline demand undermines the positive impact [8] 3. Summary by Key Data Crude Oil Inventory - As of August 1, the US commercial crude oil inventory was 423.662 million barrels, a week - on - week decrease of 3.029 million barrels, exceeding the expected decrease of 600,000 barrels. The Cushing inventory increased by 453,000 barrels, and the strategic reserve inventory increased by 235,000 barrels [2][3] Refined Oil Inventory - Gasoline inventory decreased by 1.323 million barrels, exceeding the expected decrease of 400,000 barrels. Distillate oil inventory decreased by 565,000 barrels, contrary to the expected increase of 800,000 barrels [2] Production and Consumption Data - US crude oil production decreased by 30,000 barrels per day to 13.284 million barrels per day. Net imports decreased by 794,000 barrels per day to 2.644 million barrels per day. Crude oil processing volume increased by 213,000 barrels per day to 17.124 million barrels per day [3] - The four - week smoothed US crude oil terminal apparent demand decreased by 185,250 barrels per day to 20.61575 million barrels per day. Gasoline apparent demand decreased by 29,750 barrels per day to 8.912 million barrels per day. Jet fuel apparent demand decreased by 55,000 barrels per day to 1.77675 million barrels per day. Distillate oil apparent demand increased by 13,000 barrels per day to 3.52275 million barrels per day [3] 4. Report Comments Crude Oil - Last week, the US commercial crude oil inventory decreased more than expected. The refinery utilization rate reached a new high this year, rising 1.5% to 96.9%, driving an increase in crude oil processing volume. However, the processing volume is not a new high due to the decrease in refinery capacity. In addition, increased exports also contributed to the inventory decline [4] Refined Oil - Gasoline demand is continuously weak, with the four - week smoothed data below 9 million barrels per day for four consecutive weeks during the peak season. This indicates that Americans are more inclined to short - distance travel and cut travel budgets this year. Distillate oil demand is stable, and the slight decrease in inventory is mainly due to increased exports [6] 5. Market Reaction - After the data release, oil prices remained stable initially and then declined as Trump announced productive US - Russia talks and the possibility of a face - to - face meeting among the three leaders as early as next week, leading to a retreat in risk premiums [8]
