Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the document Core Viewpoints of the Report - The US economy remains resilient, and expectations for interest rate cuts have cooled. Geopolitical risks have decreased, and the probability of a rate cut in July has decreased, but there is still uncertainty in tariff negotiations. Wait for the outcome of this week's macro events. Although OPEC+ has completed its voluntary production cut exit plan ahead of schedule, the peak demand season still provides support for oil prices. However, once the increased production is implemented, it will impact the market. In the short term, focus on short - term trading within the WTI range of $60 - 70, and in the medium to long term, look for opportunities to sell high after the peak demand season [5]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 1. International Crude Oil Analysis 1.1 Crude Oil Price Trends - This week (July 21 - 25), international oil prices fluctuated. Geopolitical and demand factors remained relatively stable, and short - term oil prices oscillated around the shale oil cost support. However, the support from peak - season demand may gradually weaken. As of July 25, WTI and Brent settled at $65.16/barrel (-1.74%) and $68.44/barrel (-0.38%) respectively; INE SC settled at 508.6 yuan/barrel (+0.9%) [9]. 1.2 Financial Aspects - Against the backdrop of the extension of the tariff suspension, tariff negotiations between the US and other countries and favorable AI policies further boosted market sentiment, and US stocks continued to rise. As of July 25, the S&P 500 index reached 6388.64, continuing its rebound since mid - April, and the VIX volatility was 14.93, continuing to decline from a low level [13]. 1.3 Crude Oil Volatility and the US Dollar Index - Crude oil ETF volatility continued to decline this week, and the US dollar index fluctuated. As of July 25, the crude oil volatility ETF was 32.88, and the US dollar index was 97.67. Crude oil volatility declined as risks eased, while the US dollar index remained under pressure due to significant macro uncertainties [16]. 1.4 Crude Oil Fund Net Long Positions - WTI fund net long positions increased while speculative net long positions decreased. As of July 22, WTI managed fund net long positions decreased by 0.65 million contracts month - on - month to 9.82 million contracts, with a weekly increase of 7%; speculative net long positions decreased by 1.56 million contracts to 5.51 million contracts, a weekly decrease of 22%. Since July, peak - season demand has supported oil prices, which have remained around shale oil costs, and speculative long positions are mainly based on relative valuations for short - term operations [19]. 2. Crude Oil Supply - Side Analysis 2.1 OPEC and OPEC+ Production - OPEC crude oil production increased month - on - month in June, rising by 21.9 million barrels per day to 27.235 million barrels per day. Most countries except Iran and Libya have started to increase production. However, the production of eight OPEC+ countries that agreed to increase production was still 23,000 barrels per day below the plan in June, mainly because some countries were fulfilling their compensation production cut plans [24]. - According to the IEA's statistical method, the production of 9 OPEC member countries in June was 23.18 million barrels per day, an increase of 930,000 barrels per day month - on - month. Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Iraq, Kuwait, and Kazakhstan still had significant over - production, and the over - production margin increased compared to the previous month, possibly due to the gradual implementation of OPEC+'s increased production [28]. - Saudi Arabia's production continued to rise, increasing by 1.73 million barrels per day to 9.356 million barrels per day in June. Iran's production declined rapidly, decreasing by 620,000 barrels per day to 3.241 million barrels per day in June, affected by sanctions and the Israel - Iran war [31]. 2.2 Russian Crude Oil Supply - According to OPEC's statistical method, Russia's crude oil production in June was 9.025 million barrels per day, an increase of 410,000 barrels per day month - on - month; according to the IEA's statistics, it was 9.19 million barrels per day, an increase of 200,000 barrels per day month - on - month. Production is gradually recovering under the production increase plan but remains at a very low level [40]. 2.3 US Crude Oil Production - As of the week of July 25, the number of active oil rigs in the US was 415, a decrease of 7 from the previous week and a year - on - year decrease of 67. The efficiency improvement of drilling and wells allows producers to maintain record - high production while controlling capital expenditure. The number of rigs in the Permian Basin has decreased significantly, limiting the potential for increased crude oil production [45]. - As of the week of July 18, US crude oil production showed signs of peaking, dropping marginally to 13.273 million barrels per day, a decrease of 102,000 barrels per day from the previous week and a year - on - year decrease of 0.2%. Low oil prices in the first half of the year have dampened producers' enthusiasm, reducing the potential for increased US oil production in the second half of the year. However, due to improved drilling efficiency, production will not decline sharply [48]. 3. Crude Oil Demand - Side Analysis 3.1 US Oil Product Demand - As of the week of July 18, the total weekly demand for US refined oil products and the four - week average rebounded significantly. The average daily demand was 21.77 million barrels per day, an increase of 2.586 million barrels per day from the previous week and a year - on - year increase of 3.5% [52]. - As of the four - week period ending on July 18, the four - week average demand for US refined oil products decreased. Gasoline demand increased on a weekly basis, but the four - week average decreased by 180,000 barrels per day to 8.814 million barrels per day, a year - on - year decrease of 4.87%; distillate oil average demand decreased by 113,000 barrels per day to 3.619 million barrels per day, a year - on - year decrease of 1.04%; kerosene - type average consumption decreased by 60,000 barrels per day to 1.742 million barrels per day, a year - on - year increase of 1.52% [57]. - The US gasoline crack spread and heating oil crack spread oscillated and declined this week. As of July 25, the gasoline crack spread was $22.91 per barrel, and the heating oil crack spread was $35.9 per barrel. The four - week average demand for gasoline and heating oil decreased, and crack spreads declined with the decrease in demand. Gasoline demand was weaker than in previous years, while heating oil demand was better than last year, leading to a divergence in crack spreads between different products [61]. 3.2 European Diesel and Heating Oil Crack Spreads - As of July 25, the ICE diesel crack spread was $29.14 per barrel, and the heating oil crack spread was $32.62 per barrel. European diesel, due to low inventory and peak - season restocking demand, performed better than heating oil. The overall oil market was in a relatively warm atmosphere, with crack spreads at a moderately high level. However, diesel inventory has increased for two consecutive weeks, cooling market sentiment and causing the crack spread to decline this week [65]. 3.3 China's Oil Products and Refinery Situation - China's crude oil demand is gradually entering the peak season. In June, China's crude oil processing volume increased by 3.927 million tons year - on - year to 62.245 million tons (+6.73%); imports increased by 3.438 million tons year - on - year to 49.888 million tons (+7.4%). In June, the escalation of the Middle East situation raised concerns about supply, leading to a surge in China's oil imports from the Gulf region. At the same time, the recovery of Russian oil supply was much higher than in previous years, and imports increased month - on - month and remained at a relatively high level [68]. 3.4 International Institutions' Forecasts of Demand Growth - Among international institutions, EIA and OPEC maintained their previous judgments, while IEA continued to lower its forecast for global oil demand growth. In June, EIA, IEA, and OPEC estimated that the global crude oil demand growth rate this year would be 800,000 barrels per day (-), 700,000 barrels per day (↓), and 1.3 million barrels per day (-) respectively. Next year, the growth rates will be 1.05 million barrels per day, 740,000 barrels per day, and 1.28 million barrels per day respectively. EIA stated that this year's global oil demand growth is mainly driven by non - OECD countries, especially India and China. IEA continuously lowered its forecast because it believes that emerging markets outside Europe and Asia have resilient oil demand, while oil demand in countries such as China, Japan, South Korea, and the US has decreased significantly due to trade frictions. It is expected that the year - on - year growth rate of global oil demand will continue in the second half of the year until 2026 when the global monetary and fiscal policies become more accommodative [73]. 4. Crude Oil Inventory - Side Analysis 4.1 US Crude Oil Inventory - US commercial crude oil inventory decreased. As of July 18, EIA commercial crude oil inventory decreased by 316,900 barrels from the previous week to 418.99 million barrels, a year - on - year decrease of 4.01%; SPR inventory decreased by 200,000 barrels to 402.5 million barrels; Cushing crude oil inventory increased by 455,000 barrels to 21.863 million barrels [74]. - As of the week of July 18, US crude oil net imports decreased by 740,000 barrels per day from the previous week to 2.121 million barrels per day. US refinery throughput increased by 87,000 barrels per day from the previous week to 16.936 million barrels per day, and the refinery utilization rate increased by 1.6% to 95.5% [78]. - The WTI month - spread maintained a backwardation structure, but the indicators began to weaken. As of July 25, the WTI M1 - M2 month - spread was $0.82 per barrel, and the M1 - M5 month - spread was $2.08 per barrel. As US refined oil demand gradually peaks, the support from the peak season for oil prices is weakening. With OPEC's accelerated production increase in the near term, the month - spread may continue to decline [82]. 4.2 Brent Month - Spread - The Brent month - spread also maintained a backwardation structure, but showed signs of weakening on a weekly basis. As of July 25, the Brent M1 - M2 month - spread was $0.78 per barrel, and the M1 - M5 month - spread was $2.01 per barrel [85]. 5. Crude Oil Supply - Demand Balance Difference 5.1 Global Oil Supply - Demand Balance Sheet - According to EIA's July forecast, this year's global oil supply is 104.61 million barrels per day, and demand is 103.54 million barrels per day, resulting in a daily surplus of 1.07 million barrels, which is an increase from the previous month's surplus. This is mainly because EIA believes that OPEC's production increase plan and production increases outside the group will continue to drive strong growth in global liquid fuel production [89]. 5.2 Term Structure - This week, US fundamental data showed that peak - season demand is starting to decline, and the term structure has continued to flatten compared to last week. Brent, due to strong diesel demand and good crack spreads, can support a stronger contango structure. Currently, international oil products can maintain a contango term structure, but as peak - season demand gradually weakens, if OPEC continues to accelerate production increase in the near term, the term structure may change [93].

Group 1: Report's Investment Rating for the Industry - There is no information provided about the report's investment rating for the industry. Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - After the US-Japan tariff agreement and progress in EU-US trade negotiations, overseas risk aversion declined. In the domestic market, the news of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology eliminating old production capacity boosted market sentiment, which needed to be repaired later in the week. In terms of fundamentals, most recent capacity changes in the supply side were replacements, with a small amount of capacity resuming production in Guizhou, and the operating capacity increasing slightly by 10,000 tons compared to last week. Downstream, the aluminum processing weekly operating rate continued to decline slightly due to the triple pressures of weak demand in the off - season, high aluminum prices, and tariff uncertainties. The inventory of electrolytic aluminum ingots increased by 12,000 tons to 510,000 tons, while the aluminum rod inventory decreased by 10,500 tons to 145,500 tons [2]. - This week, there is high uncertainty in the overseas Fed's interest - rate decision and the negotiation process of the expiration of US reciprocal tariffs, with high macro - elasticity. Fundamentally, the operating capacity in the supply side increased slightly. In the consumption side, due to the off - season and high aluminum prices, downstream purchasing slowed down. The social inventory of aluminum ingots increased slightly, but the aluminum rod inventory continued to decline, and the warehouse receipt inventory returned to around 60,000 tons after a short - term increase. Overall, the inventory increase was not very smooth. It is expected that the aluminum price will have a certain repair after last week's sentiment adjustment, and the relatively small supply - demand contradiction in the fundamentals will support the aluminum price, leading to some adjustments [2][7]. Group 3: Summary by Related Catalogs Transaction Data - The price of LME Aluminum 3 - month decreased from 2,638 yuan/ton on July 18th to 2,631 yuan/ton on July 25th, a drop of 7 yuan/ton. The SHFE Aluminum Continuous 3 increased from 20,375 dollars/ton to 20,660 dollars/ton, a rise of 285 dollars/ton. The Shanghai - London aluminum ratio increased from 7.7 to 7.9, an increase of 0.1. The LME spot premium increased from - 0.78 dollars/ton to 1.07 dollars/ton, an increase of 1.9 dollars/ton. The LME aluminum inventory increased from 430,700 tons to 450,825 tons, an increase of 20,125 tons. The SHFE aluminum warehouse receipt inventory decreased from 66,548 tons to 54,675 tons, a decrease of 11,873 tons. The spot average price increased from 20,554 yuan/ton to 20,838 yuan/ton, an increase of 284 yuan/ton. The spot premium decreased from 120 yuan/ton to 10 yuan/ton, a decrease of 110 yuan/ton. The South - storage spot average price increased from 20,538 yuan/ton to 20,814 yuan/ton, an increase of 276 yuan/ton. The Shanghai - Guangdong price difference increased from 16 yuan/ton to 24 yuan/ton, an increase of 8 yuan/ton. The aluminum ingot social inventory increased from 492,000 tons to 510,000 tons, an increase of 18,000 tons. The theoretical average cost of electrolytic aluminum increased from 16,669.43 yuan/ton to 16,760.91 yuan/ton, an increase of 91.5 yuan/ton. The weekly average profit of electrolytic aluminum increased from 3,884.57 yuan/ton to 4,077.09 yuan/ton, an increase of 192.5 yuan/ton [3]. 行情评述 - The weekly average price of the spot market was 20,838 yuan/ton, an increase of 284 yuan/ton compared to last week. The weekly average price of the South - storage spot was 20,814 yuan/ton, an increase of 276 yuan/ton compared to last week [4]. 宏观方面 - The US - Japan tariff negotiation reached an agreement. The "reciprocal tariff" rate imposed by the US on Japan will be reduced from 25% to 15%, and Japan will increase the import of US rice under the current "minimum access system". The EU and the US are moving towards an agreement that will set a 15% tariff rate for most products. The South Korea - US "2 + 2" economic and trade consultation scheduled for the 25th was cancelled due to the US side. The preliminary value of the US S&P Global Manufacturing PMI in July dropped to 49.5, the lowest since December 2024, while the preliminary value of the service industry PMI was 55.2, and the preliminary value of the composite PMI was 54.6, both reaching the highest since December 2024. The number of initial jobless claims in the US last week was 217,000, the lowest since mid - April, lower than the market expectation of 226,000 and the previous value of 221,000. EU member states voted to impose counter - tariffs on US products worth 93 billion euros. The European Central Bank kept its three key interest rates unchanged, pressing the "pause button" on interest - rate cuts for the first time after eight consecutive rate cuts since June last year. The preliminary value of the Eurozone's manufacturing PMI in July reached 49.8, the highest since July 2022, and the service industry PMI unexpectedly rose to 51.2, driving the composite PMI to 51, both higher than market expectations. The PMI data of Germany and France also rebounded [5][6]. 消费端 - According to SMM, the operating rate of the domestic downstream aluminum processing industry increased by 0.2 percentage points to 58.8% compared to the previous period. Currently, the downstream is in the off - season. The operating rate of the recycled alloy sector continued to decline, but due to the decline in the aluminum price center, there were differences among different sectors. The weekly operating rates of aluminum profiles and aluminum cables increased slightly, driving the marginal improvement of the industry's operating rate. It is expected that the weekly operating rate of the downstream aluminum processing industry will decline by 0.1 percentage points to 58.7% next week [6]. 库存方面 - According to SMM, on July 17th, the inventory of electrolytic aluminum ingots was 492,000 tons, an increase of 26,000 tons compared to last Thursday, and the aluminum rod inventory was 156,000 tons, a decrease of 4,000 tons compared to the previous period [6]. 行情展望 - Similar to the core viewpoints, it emphasizes that after last week's sentiment adjustment, the aluminum price is expected to have a certain repair, and the relatively small supply - demand contradiction in the fundamentals will support the aluminum price, leading to some adjustments [7]. 行业要闻 - According to the General Administration of Customs, in June 2025, the domestic import volume of primary aluminum was about 192,400 tons, a month - on - month decrease of 13.8% and a year - on - year increase of 58.7%. From January to June, the cumulative domestic import volume of primary aluminum was about 1,249,900 tons, a year - on - year increase of 2.5%. In June 2025, the net import of domestic primary aluminum was 172,700 tons, a month - on - month decrease of 9.4% and a year - on - year increase of 51.3%. From January to June, the cumulative net import of domestic primary aluminum was about 1,163,300 tons, a year - on - year decrease of 2.3%. According to SMM, a technical renovation project of an aluminum plant in Guangxi has started to gradually start up electrolytic cells. The first batch of 50,000 tons/year, a total of 84 electrolytic cells, is expected to be fully put into operation next month, and the remaining renovation capacity will be gradually started up within this year [8]. 相关图表 - The report includes various charts such as the price trend of LME Aluminum 3 - SHFE Aluminum Continuous 3, the Shanghai - London aluminum ratio, LME aluminum premium, Shanghai Aluminum current - month to continuous - one spread, seasonal spot premium of physical trade, domestic and imported alumina prices, electrolytic aluminum cost - profit, seasonal changes in electrolytic aluminum inventory, and seasonal changes in aluminum rod inventory [9][10][11][15].

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - The lead price of the main SHFE contract fluctuated narrowly last week. Macroscopically, the tariff negotiation made progress, and the domestic anti - involution policy expectation was positive, leading to a good market risk preference. Fundamentally, the supply of lead concentrates and waste batteries did not improve much, and the processing fees of domestic and imported lead concentrates decreased in August, while the price of waste batteries increased slightly, providing strong cost support for the lead price. On the smelting side, the production of some smelters in Henan had not recovered, and the operating rate of electrolytic lead smelters decreased. The production of secondary lead smelters was stable, but the losses expanded after the lead price dropped. On the demand side, some countries in the Middle East imposed tariffs on China's lead - acid battery exports, and the US tariff on Vietnam also affected China's battery exports. The current consumption peak season did not improve significantly, and the downstream maintained a rigid - demand purchasing rhythm. Overall, the favorable macro - environment and cost support boosted the lead price, but stable smelter production, weakened battery export expectations, and under - expected peak - season consumption dragged down the lead price. In the short term, with multiple factors in play, the lead price is expected to remain volatile, waiting for new variables [3][6][7]. Group 3: Summary according to the Directory 1. Transaction Data | Contract | July 18th | July 25th | Change | Unit | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | SHFE Lead | 16820 | 16955 | 135 | Yuan/ton | | LME Lead | 2011.5 | 2020.5 | 9 | US dollars/ton | | SHFE - LME Ratio | 8.36 | 8.39 | 0.03 | | | SHFE Inventory | 62335 | 63254 | 919 | Tons | | LME Inventory | 268400 | 266275 | - 2125 | Tons | | Social Inventory | 6.9 | 7.14 | 0.24 | Ten thousand tons | | Spot Premium | - 195 | - 165 | 30 | Yuan/ton | [4] 2. Market Review - The main SHFE lead contract PB2509 fluctuated narrowly last week. Supported by the warm atmosphere in the domestic commodity market and suppressed by high inventories, the contract finally closed at 16955 yuan/ton, with a weekly increase of 0.65%.
