Summary by Variety Crude Oil - Market Performance: On the previous Friday, international oil prices fluctuated within a range. WTI decreased by 0.32%, Brent decreased by 0.39%, and domestic SC increased by 3.40% [6] - Basic Logic: Short - term, geopolitical factors in the Middle East lead to an increase in geopolitical premium; in the long - term, the supply is in surplus during the off - season, and global crude oil inventories are accumulating rapidly [7] - Fundamentals: OPEC+ maintained its production policy unchanged in the February 1st meeting and continued to suspend production increases in March. The geopolitical uncertainty in the Middle East has increased. The impact of the cold wave in the US is decreasing, and US crude oil production is gradually rising. India's diesel exports to West Africa reached a record high in December, and its crude oil imports in December increased by 1.6% month - on - month [8] - Strategy Recommendation: In the medium - to - long - term, the supply - demand fundamentals will improve after the first quarter.

The comprehensive profit is - 235 yuan/ton, and the East China basis is - 60 (+20) [34] - Basic Logic: Domestic methanol device operating rates are high, while overseas devices have significantly reduced their loads. Demand has weakened significantly. Although the fundamentals are relatively loose, geopolitical conflicts and cold weather in North America have led to a short - term increase in overseas natural gas costs, which is bullish [34] - Strategy Recommendation: Hold long positions.
