1. Report Industry Investment Rating - There is no specific investment rating for the industry provided in the report. 2. Core View of the Report - The strength - weakness pattern of high - sulfur and low - sulfur fuel oil is changing marginally, with the spread between high - sulfur and low - sulfur fuel oil continuing to rebound. The crude oil price is in a weak oscillation state, and the expectation of oversupply in the oil market is gradually being realized, which suppresses the unilateral price of fuel oil. The high - sulfur fuel oil's previously strong fundamentals are marginally loosening, but there are still support factors below. The supply of low - sulfur fuel oil in Nigeria and Kuwait is marginally tightening due to device maintenance changes, and the strong overseas gasoline and diesel also boost the valuation of low - sulfur fuel oil. However, in the medium term, the state where low - sulfur fuel oil is stronger than high - sulfur fuel oil is difficult to form a trend, and the upside space of the high - low sulfur spread may be limited [1]. 3.
