1. Report Information - Report Name: Asphalt Daily Report [1] - Date: November 14, 2025 [2] 2. Market Review and Operation Suggestions Market Review - Futures Market: BU2601 opened at 3052 yuan/ton, closed at 3029 yuan/ton, with a high of 3058 yuan/ton, a low of 2999 yuan/ton, a decline of 1.05%, and a trading volume of 26.99 million lots. BU2512 opened at 3053 yuan/ton, closed at 3028 yuan/ton, with a high of 3063 yuan/ton, a low of 3003 yuan/ton, a decline of 1.21%, and a trading volume of 0.64 million lots [6]. - Spot Market: The asphalt spot prices in North China, South China, and Sichuan-Chongqing regions continued to decline, while those in other regions remained relatively stable. The decline in crude oil and asphalt futures prices had a negative impact on the sentiment of the asphalt spot market [6]. Supply and Demand Analysis - Supply: Qilu Petrochemical plans to switch to producing residual oil, while Jincheng Petrochemical is expected to resume asphalt production. Jinling Petrochemical in East China and Shengxing Petrochemical in Shandong are likely to maintain stable production after resuming operations. Shanghai Petrochemical also plans to switch to asphalt production around November 9. The asphalt plant operating rate is expected to increase slightly [7]. - Demand: The demand pattern shows regional differentiation. In the Northeast and Northwest regions, the rigid demand has dropped to the lowest point of the year due to the suspension of road projects. In North China, Shandong, and surrounding areas, the rigid demand remains stable due to the construction rush before the heating season. In the South, some projects are entering the construction rush stage, and the demand is expected to be stable. Overall, downstream procurement is mainly based on demand, and the speculative demand remains weak, putting pressure on the market [7]. Market Outlook - The oil price lacks support, and the supply and demand of asphalt are both weak. After this round of decline, the basis has significantly narrowed. It is expected that the market will mainly fluctuate in the short term [7]. 3. Industry News - Shandong Market: The mainstream transaction price of 70 A-grade asphalt is 2980 - 3620 yuan/ton, remaining stable compared to the previous working day. Although the international oil price declined again, the asphalt futures showed strong performance during the session. Due to the queuing for loading at some refineries, the quotes of most traders remained stable, and only a few refineries raised their prices [8]. - East China Market: The mainstream transaction price of 70 A-grade asphalt is 3300 - 3400 yuan/ton, remaining stable compared to the previous working day. The asphalt futures weakened again during the session after two days of increase. The price of social inventories in Jiangsu is around 3200 yuan/ton, and the price increase is restricted by demand and regional price differences. Some refineries are under great inventory pressure, and the price difference between refineries and social inventories is large, so the prices are also under pressure. The ex-factory price for road transportation remains at 3300 - 3400 yuan/ton [8]. 4.
