Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - Short - term crude oil is likely to maintain a volatile pattern, as supply - side disruptions and weak demand are in a tug - of - war. Supply uncertainty is intensified by Russia's export decline and potential nationalization of European refineries, but the expected increase in UK North Sea production and the actual enforcement of US sanctions are questionable, which may limit the upside. Weak gasoline and diesel shipments on the demand side suppress refinery开工 willingness, and rising interest - rate hike expectations at the macro - level put pressure on oil prices [5]. Group 3: Summary by Relevant Catalogs 1. Daily Market Summary a. Crude Oil Futures Market Data Changes - On October 30, 2025, the SC crude oil main contract closed at 462.6 yuan per barrel, a slight 0.24% decline from the previous day, with a narrowed intraday fluctuation range, indicating intensified market long - short game. WTI and Brent closed at $60.36 and $64.3 per barrel respectively, down 1.76% and 0.95% from the previous day, continuing the recent weakness. The SC - Brent spread widened to $0.86 per barrel, the SC - WTI spread rose to $4.8 per barrel, and the Brent - WTI spread widened to $3.94 per barrel. The spread between SC continuous and consecutive three - contract narrowed from - 4.8 yuan per barrel to - 3.5 yuan per barrel, with a slight relief of near - month contango pressure [2]. b. Supply - demand and Inventory Changes in the Industrial Chain - Supply side: Russian refined oil exports have dropped to the lowest point since the Russia - Ukraine conflict due to refinery shutdowns and tightened Western sanctions, which may further compress global refined oil supply. The US sanctions on Rosneft have triggered discussions in Germany about nationalizing its refineries in Germany, which may intensify European energy supply disruptions. BP is exploring new oil and gas resources in Gabon, but the short - term impact on supply is limited. The UK may cancel the North Sea oil and gas windfall tax, which may stimulate the recovery of North Sea production and relieve European supply pressure [3]. - Demand side: The news in the fuel oil market has improved, but the demand for gasoline and diesel remains weak, with refinery shipments being dull, reflecting weak terminal consumption. Some countries such as Hungary and India still rely on Russian crude oil, showing demand resilience [3]. - Inventory side: On October 24, excluding strategic reserves, commercial crude oil inventories decreased by 6.858 million barrels to 416 million barrels, a decline of 1.62%. The US Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) inventory increased by 533,000 barrels to 409.1 million barrels, an increase of 0.13%, reaching the highest level since the week of September 30, 2022. Cushing crude oil inventory in Oklahoma increased by 1.334 million barrels. Refined oil inventory decreased by 3.362 million barrels, gasoline inventory decreased by 5.941 million barrels, and heating oil inventory decreased by 39,000 barrels [4]. c. Price Trend Judgment - Short - term crude oil is expected to maintain a volatile pattern, as the supply - side uncertainties and weak demand are in a stalemate [5]. 2.

Demand - The crude oil trend has improved slightly, and the news in the fuel oil market has improved, but gasoline and diesel shipments are still weak, with terminal demand being hard to boost, and refinery shipments are dull. The market is expected to remain stable with narrow adjustments [11]. c. Inventory - The fuel oil inventory in Singapore for the week ending October 29 was to be announced [12]. d.
