Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Research Views - Crude Oil: On Tuesday, the oil price center dropped. The EIA raised the forecast of US oil production for this year and next, while the demand forecast remained unchanged. Global oil production growth is expected to exceed demand, increasing inventory and pressuring prices. API data shows a significant weekly increase in crude oil inventory. The market focuses on US - Iran diplomatic relations and the progress of the Russia - Ukraine ceasefire. It is expected that the oil price will continue to fluctuate [1] - Fuel Oil: The fuel oil futures prices rose on Tuesday. The low - sulfur fuel oil market structure in Singapore is under pressure in the short term, but the inflow of arbitrage cargoes is expected to decrease in March. The high - sulfur fuel oil market fundamentals are strengthening. Both FU and LU are greatly affected by geopolitical situations and crude oil costs, and it is recommended to hold light positions before the holiday [2] - Asphalt: The asphalt futures price remained flat on Tuesday. The supply is stable, and the port inventory of diluted asphalt has increased. The demand is basically over before the Spring Festival. The market shows a situation of weak supply and demand, and the price follows the cost - end oil price. It is recommended to hold light positions before the holiday [2] - Polyester: PX and PTA prices are expected to follow the cost and fluctuate weakly. The polyester load is accelerating to weaken, and the terminal is on holiday, with raw materials and finished products slightly accumulating.
