Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - In 2025, the main factors influencing the crude oil market are OPEC+ production policies, US tariff policies, and global crude oil demand. OPEC+ is in an expansion cycle, and with the global energy transition, there is a growing supply surplus, leading to limited upward momentum for oil prices and potential for a lower price center. Geopolitical factors such as the Russia-Ukraine conflict, US-Iran nuclear talks, and US policies towards Venezuela increase price volatility but do not change the overall supply surplus situation. In June - July, which is the consumption peak season, oil prices may find some support and are expected to trade in a range with a gradually declining center. Recommended strategies include shorting on rallies, selling call options, or using bull spread options. The recommended trading ranges are WTI [55, 65] and SC [420, 500] [6][108]. Summary by Directory 1. Market Review and Outlook - **Market Outlook**: In 2025, the crude oil market is mainly affected by OPEC+ production policies, US tariff policies, and global demand. OPEC+ is expanding production, and combined with the global energy transition, there is a supply surplus. Geopolitical factors increase price volatility but do not change the supply - surplus trend. In June - July, oil prices may be supported by peak - season consumption and are expected to trade in a range with a declining center [6][108]. - **Macro - economic Situation**: On May 7, the People's Bank of China cut the reserve requirement ratio by 0.5 percentage points, injecting about 1 trillion in long - term liquidity. As of May, the probability of the Fed keeping interest rates unchanged in June is 97.8%, and the probability of a 25 - basis - point cut is 2.2%. By July, the probability of unchanged rates is 76.6%, with a 22.9% chance of a 25 - basis - point cut and a 0.5% chance of a 50 - basis - point cut. The IMF has lowered the global economic growth forecast for 2025 from 3.3% to 2.8%, and the expected growth rate for 2026 is 3% [6][27]. - **Supply and Demand, and Inventory**: - **Supply**: OPEC+ did not adjust production policies at the Wednesday meeting but proposed a mechanism for setting 2027 production benchmarks. There is a possibility of accelerated production increases in July. In April 2025, OPEC's production decreased by 62,000 barrels per day to 26.71 million barrels per day. The US crude oil production remained stable at 13.4 million barrels per day as of the week ending May 23 [7][43][47]. - **Demand**: The IEA's May report maintained the 2025 global crude oil demand growth rate at 740,000 barrels per day and raised the 2026 growth rate by 70,000 barrels per day to 760,000 barrels per day. In May 2025, EIA, OPEC, and IEA predicted global crude oil demand at 10.371 million, 10.5 million, and 10.39 million barrels per day respectively, with year - on - year increases of 970,000, 130,000, and 740,000 barrels per day [7][52]. - **Inventory**: As of the week ending May 23, US commercial crude inventories decreased by 2.8 million barrels to 440.36 million barrels, strategic reserves increased by 820,000 barrels to 401.31 million barrels, gasoline inventories decreased by 2.44 million barrels to 223.08 million barrels, and distillate fuel oil inventories decreased by 720,000 barrels to 103.41 million barrels. Chinese port inventories increased by 319,000 tons to 28.216 million tons, and Shandong refinery inventories increased by 23,000 tons to 2.499 million tons [7][71][75]. 2. Core Drivers - **OPEC+ Production Policies since 2017**: In 2017, OPEC+ implemented production cuts. Since October 2022, there have been multiple rounds of production cuts and extensions, with actual production decreasing by about 3 million barrels per day, mainly contributed by Saudi Arabia, Russia, Iraq, and Kuwait. The overall production cut implementation rate is 51.02% [10][12][14]. - **2025 OPEC+ Production Increase Path**: In 2025, OPEC+ has a production increase plan through quota increases and compensatory production cuts. It is expected that by the end of the year, the net increase in OPEC+ production will be about 1 million barrels per day [15][16][21]. 3. Price Spreads and Positions - **Cross - market Spreads**: The WTI monthly spread increased slightly. As of May 29, the M1 - M2 spread was $0.74 per barrel, and the M1 - M6 spread was $2.21 per barrel. The US refined product crack spreads declined, while the domestic refined product crack spreads rebounded [90][94][95]. - **Fund Positions**: No specific information on changes in WTI and Brent fund positions was provided. The SC warehouse receipt volume is low, and the total SC positions increased [102][104].

Group 1 - OPEC+ is expected to announce an increase in oil production by 1.37 million barrels per day, but actual supply growth may be significantly lower due to various constraints [1][4] - The agreed production increase from March to July includes contributions from several member countries, with Saudi Arabia contributing the largest increase of 167,000 barrels per day [5] - Compliance issues from countries like Iraq and Kazakhstan raise concerns about their ability to meet production targets, potentially reducing the actual supply increase to 972,000 barrels per day, which is only 71% of the nominal increase [7] Group 2 - Domestic oil consumption in the Middle East, particularly in Saudi Arabia, is expected to rise significantly during the summer peak, potentially consuming over 80% of the increased production from Saudi Arabia alone [7] - Historical data indicates that Saudi Arabia's domestic oil consumption surged by 460,000 barrels per day from March to July last year, suggesting a similar trend could occur this year [7]

Report Title - 202505 Crude Oil Outlook Report: Superposition of Strong Reality, Weak Expectations, and Iranian Crude Oil Disturbance [1] Report Date - May 21, 2025 [2] Report Author - Xiao Yu, Investment Consulting License No.: Z0016296 [2] 1. Review Summary 1.1 4 - Month Crude Oil Outlook Report Review - **4 - Month Main View**: In a sharply deteriorating macro - atmosphere, OPEC+ not only did not resist but accelerated production increases. The $70 support level for Brent crude oil became an insurmountable resistance level. With continued macro - turmoil, market confidence was increasingly fragile, and a bearish view was maintained [7]. - **Market Review**: Sino - US trade negotiation results drove a limited market rebound, and subsequent changes in US - Iran negotiations were the main factor causing short - term oil price fluctuations [8]. 1.2 5 - Month Main View - **Fundamentals**: There is a situation of strong reality and weak expectations, with a long - term bearish outlook. OPEC+ accelerating production increases may become the norm, and the relationship between US and Iranian crude oil is the biggest short - term market disturbance factor [9]. - **Non - fundamentals**: The US has entered a general tariff suspension period, but future pressure remains [9]. - **May Conclusion**: With OPEC+'s signal of accelerating production increases becoming clearer and long - term macro - pressure still existing, oil prices tend to be weak in the medium and long term. However, currently, crude oil is in a seasonally strong reality state, and with the outcome of Iranian crude oil still to be determined, the short - term market may maintain a weak and volatile trend [9]. 2. Crude Oil Market Analysis 2.1 Near - Month Spreads Indicate Tight Spot Supply and Demand - International crude oil market spreads are above the 0 axis, indicating that current supply and demand can still match. Current market negative factors are mainly concentrated in expectations, such as OPEC+ likely to continue accelerating production increases after July or a possible slowdown in macro - economic growth due to trade frictions [14]. 2.2 Manifestation of Strong Reality and Weak Expectations in the Forward Curve - Although crude oil is in a contango structure in the longer term, the near - end is in a back structure. Near - end premiums mean that downstream needs to pay an additional premium to obtain spot goods. Even at the recent low point of crude oil prices on the morning of May 12, the Nike - shaped forward structure was maintained, reflecting strong reality and weak expectations [17]. 2.3 Manifestation of Strong Reality and Weak Expectations in Institutional Monthly Reports - Three major institutions (IEA, OPEC, EIA) made different adjustments to demand in their May reports but still had a long - term bearish view of the oil market. Most reports believe that non - OPEC+ supply growth has exceeded global demand growth, and OPEC+ is eager to accelerate production increases [18]. 2.4 Manifestation of Strong Reality and Weak Expectations in the Seasonal Peak Demand Period - The third quarter is the traditional peak consumption season for crude oil. Seasonal demand growth in Q3 can slightly offset the negative impact of supply growth. It is expected that the strong reality in the crude oil market will gradually weaken in the middle of the third quarter, and the forward structure will gradually change to a full contango structure [21]. 2.5 Large - Scale Production Increases Benefit Saudi Arabia in the Long Run - Saudi Arabia's economy is closely related to oil prices. Usually, it stabilizes oil prices, but in extreme cases, it promotes large - scale production increases to reshape the market structure. The 2020 large - scale production increase allowed OPEC+ to enjoy high oil prices for nearly 4 years [24]. 2.6 OPEC+ Current Situation and Possible Actions - OPEC+ is facing external pressure from non - OPEC+ production increases and internal contradictions such as member over - production. If internal problems cannot be resolved, it may turn to a unified external stance. The current macro - instability provides an opportunity for production increases [25]. 2.7 OPEC+ Production Increase Plans and Intentions - OPEC+ continued to accelerate production increases in May, and the production quota in June was equivalent to the original plan for October. OPEC+ may quickly increase production before October and gradually cancel voluntary production cuts of 2.2 million barrels per day if member compliance does not improve. This strategy may be led by Saudi Arabia to gain a larger market share [28]. 2.8 OPEC+ Policy Timeline in 2025 - OPEC+ maintained the original production increase plan on March 3, causing oil prices to fall below $70/barrel. The compensatory production cuts on March 20 showed its willingness to support oil prices. The acceleration of production increases on April 3 was puzzling, and the decision on May 3 clearly showed the organization's determination to increase production [31]. 2.9 Reference: Oil Prices Required to Hit Main Competitors - The average operating cost of old wells in the US is $41/barrel, and that of new wells is $65/barrel. Oil prices below $65/barrel will seriously affect US crude oil production growth, and below $41/barrel will affect existing production [37]. 2.11 Attention to Iranian Crude Oil Disturbance - Iran is willing to sign a nuclear agreement under certain conditions to lift economic sanctions, but there are still differences between the US and Iran. There are new variables such as Israel's possible attack on Iranian nuclear facilities. The outcome of US - Iran negotiations is expected to be limitedly optimistic [43][45]. 2.12 Complex Middle East Situation - Under the combined influence of long - term US sanctions and the Palestine - Israel conflict, Iran's regional influence has been temporarily weakened. There are complex relationships among countries in the Middle East [47]. 2.13 Persistent Macro - Pressure - US confidence and retail sales data have declined, and manufacturing is in a downward trend. Although CPI has decreased, the Fed refuses to cut interest rates due to potential tariff war impacts. The US is in a tariff suspension period, but tariffs may resume after the suspension, adding pressure on oil prices during OPEC+'s production increase period [49]
