Report Summary 1. Industry Investment Rating - No investment rating information is provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints - This week, oil prices rose and then fell, with the monthly spreads of the three major crude oil markets increasing. Trump's warning of secondary tariffs on Russia and the actual decline in Russian crude oil exports have intensified concerns about supply shortages, but even in the case of extreme sanctions, it will not change the oversupply pattern. The market favors a stronger near - term monthly spread and a wait - and - see attitude towards medium - term absolute prices. After OPEC decided to increase production in September, oil prices quickly declined. The absolute price of oil is expected to continue to fall after the statement of OPEC +, with some support in reality. It is expected to fall to $55 - 60 per barrel in the fourth quarter, and attention should be paid to the impact of US tariff policies on the global economy and the non - OPEC production schedule [5]. 3. Section Summaries 3.1 Daily News - Kpler reported that the discount on Russian crude oil export prices has widened due to the pressure from the US and the EU on Russian oil buyers, which has hit demand. Indian state - owned refineries are considering suspending imports of Russian oil, and private enterprises are also slowing down their purchases. The price of Urals crude oil is now more than $5 per barrel cheaper than the North Sea crude oil price index, compared with almost zero spread two weeks ago [3]. - Putin said that the UAE is one of the suitable places to meet with Trump, and he doesn't mind meeting Zelensky. After a refinery was attacked by drones, Russia plans to increase its oil exports to the West to nearly 2 million barrels per day in August [4]. 3.2 Regional Fundamentals - EIA reports showed that in the week ending August 1st, US crude oil exports increased by 620,000 barrels per day to 3.318 million barrels per day; domestic crude oil production decreased by 30,000 barrels to 13.284 million barrels per day; commercial crude oil inventories excluding strategic reserves decreased by 3.029 million barrels to 424 million barrels, a decrease of 0.71%; the four - week average supply of US crude oil products was 20.616 million barrels per day, a 1.61% increase compared to the same period last year; the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) inventory increased by 235,000 barrels to 403 million barrels, an increase of 0.06%; and the import of commercial crude oil excluding strategic reserves was 5.962 million barrels per day, a decrease of 174,000 barrels per day compared to the previous week [4]. - From July 25th - 31st, the operating rate of major refineries in China increased slightly, while that of Shandong local refineries remained basically unchanged.

The comprehensive profit of major refineries rebounded month - on - month, while that of local refineries declined [4]. 3.3 Weekly Viewpoints - This week, oil prices first rose and then fell, and the monthly spreads of the three major crude oil markets increased. Trump's warning of secondary tariffs on Russia and the actual decline in Russian crude oil exports have intensified concerns about supply shortages, but extreme sanctions will not change the oversupply pattern. OPEC's decision to increase production in September led to a quick decline in oil prices, with Brent crude falling below the $70 per barrel mark [5]. - Macroscopically, Trump postponed the implementation of tariffs on goods from 67 trading partners by one week, and the poor July non - farm payrolls data led the market to bet on a September interest rate cut. Fundamentally, global oil inventories decreased slightly this week, higher than the same period last year by about 2%. US commercial inventories increased significantly, the number of oil rigs decreased again, gasoline inventories decreased while diesel inventories increased, ARA diesel inventories decreased, and Singapore diesel inventories increased slightly but were at a low level compared to the same period last year. Global refinery profits declined this week, and the refinery operating season is coming to an end. The main uncertainties lie in the intensity of US secondary sanctions on Russia. After the statement of OPEC +, the absolute price of oil is expected to continue to fall, with some support in reality, and is expected to fall to $55 - 60 per barrel in the fourth quarter [5].
