国内供需宽松，原油弱势震荡承压

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - The crude oil market is in a low - level oscillation pattern under the game of multiple and short positions in the short term. Geopolitical disturbances provide premium support, and the strong demand for gasoline in the US and high refinery operating rates support the demand at the end of the peak season. However, SC crude oil is weaker than the external market due to RMB pricing and domestic warehouse receipt pressure. The closure of Mexican refineries may lead to a regional surplus of refined oil supply and indirectly suppress crude oil procurement. The uncertainty of the Fed's policy suppresses risk appetite. If geopolitical conflicts escalate or the US EIA inventory is depleted more than expected, it may drive the oil price to rebound periodically [4] Group 3: Summary by Directory 1.

However, Iraq's export volume in July reached 104.7 million barrels, indicating that OPEC+ member states still have the willingness to increase production. On the demand side, the demand for gasoline and distillates in the US strengthened, but the closure of the Mexican refinery may indirectly suppress regional demand. The operating rate of Japanese refineries rebounded to 87.5%, supporting Asian crude oil procurement.
