Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - High - sulfur fuel oil: Oscillation [2] - Low - sulfur fuel oil: Oscillation [2] - Cross - variety: None [2] - Cross - period: None [2] - Spot - futures: None [2] - Options: None [2] Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - After continuous decline, crude oil prices showed signs of stabilization and rebound, driving the slight rise of FU and LU prices. Short - term attention should be paid to the progress of talks between Russia, the US, and Ukraine, and the change in the US attitude towards sanctions on Russia will affect market sentiment and bring additional price fluctuations. Without unexpected macro and geopolitical events, there is still downward pressure on the oil market in the medium term [1] - In terms of the fundamentals of fuel oil itself, the fundamentals and market structure of high - sulfur oil are still weak, with limited short - term pressure. However, as summer ends, local demand in the Middle East will decline, and with the OPEC production increase trend, Middle East fuel oil shipments may still have room for growth, and the high - sulfur fuel oil market is expected to further loosen. If the crack spread is fully adjusted to attract a significant improvement in refinery demand, the market structure is expected to stabilize and strengthen again [1] - For low - sulfur fuel oil, the current market pressure is limited, but there is no overall shortage expectation. Domestic production remains at a low level, but overseas supply has recovered, and the overseas market has shown a marginal weakening trend recently. In the medium - term perspective, since the remaining production capacity of low - sulfur fuel oil is relatively abundant, once the crack profit is appropriate, it will attract supply release. Moreover, the carbon - neutral trend in the shipping industry will gradually replace the market share of low - sulfur fuel oil, and there is significant resistance above the market [1] Group 3: Market Analysis Summary - The main contract of Shanghai Futures Exchange fuel oil futures closed up 1.15% at 2732 yuan/ton in the daytime session, and the main contract of INE low - sulfur fuel oil futures closed up 1.19% at 3483 yuan/ton [1] - Crude oil price rebounds drive the rise of FU and LU. Short - term uncertainty comes from Russia - US - Ukraine talks and US sanctions on Russia. Medium - term oil market has downward pressure without unexpected events [1] - High - sulfur fuel oil has weak fundamentals and market structure, short - term pressure is limited. Future supply may increase, but crack spread adjustment may improve the situation [1] - Low - sulfur fuel oil has limited current pressure and no shortage expectation. Overseas supply recovers, and there is resistance above the market in the medium term due to capacity and market - share replacement [1] Group 4: Strategy Summary - High - sulfur fuel oil strategy: Oscillation [2] - Low - sulfur fuel oil strategy: Oscillation [2] - No strategies for cross - variety, cross - period, spot - futures, and options [2] Group 5: Chart Information - There are multiple charts showing prices, spreads, and trading volumes of Singapore fuel oil spot, swaps, and Chinese fuel oil futures (both high - sulfur and low - sulfur) [3][8][12][13][16][17][26][28] - Data sources for these charts are from Flush, Steel Union, and Huatai Futures Research Institute [5][6][7][10][11][15][19][22][23][24][25][28][30][31][32]
