Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided 2. Core Viewpoints - The increase in this period's crude oil inventory exceeded market expectations, leading to a decline in international oil prices. In the fourth quarter, crude oil consumption is transitioning from the peak season to the off - season. If the OPEC+ production increase plan continues, the market may face supply surplus pressure, which will limit the upside potential of oil prices [1] 3.

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content 2. Core View of the Report - In the week ending August 29, 2025, US commercial crude oil inventories increased by 2.415 million barrels, with net crude oil imports rising by 434,000 barrels per day, and the estimated single - week crude oil production decreasing by 16,000 barrels per day.

Diesel inventories resumed their upward trend, gasoline inventories declined significantly, and the total inventories of crude oil and petroleum products accumulated. The apparent demand for refined oil products decreased. Although single - week data has limited implications, there are still concerns about future crude oil inventories after the decline in refinery utilization [3]. 3.

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content Core View of the Report - The EIA report for the week is relatively bearish due to the unexpected increase in US crude oil inventories and the potential entry of refineries into the autumn maintenance period. The start of autumn maintenance at US refineries under the global crude oil production increase scenario is expected to widen the supply - demand gap. Although distillate demand is strong and inventories are low, which may support the diesel crack spread, the impact of refinery maintenance on crude oil demand will be more reflected in the crude oil market [4][6] Summary According to Relevant Catalogs Inventory Data - As of August 29, US commercial crude oil total inventory was 420.707 million barrels, a week - on - week increase of 2.415 million barrels, contrary to the expected decrease of 2 million barrels. Cushing inventory increased by 1.59 million barrels, and strategic reserve inventory increased by 0.509 million barrels. Gasoline inventory decreased by 3.795 million barrels, exceeding the expected decrease of 1.1 million barrels, while distillate inventory increased by 1.681 million barrels, contrary to the expected decrease of 0.6 million barrels. The total inventory of the US crude oil chain increased by 7.611 million barrels [2][3] Production and Consumption Data - US crude oil production decreased by 16 thousand barrels per day to 13.423 million barrels per day from August 22 to August 29. US crude oil net imports increased by 434 thousand barrels per day to 2.858 million barrels per day. Crude oil processing volume decreased by 11 thousand barrels per day to 16.869 million barrels per day. The four - week smoothed US crude oil terminal apparent demand increased by 132.5 thousand barrels per day, gasoline apparent demand increased by 19.25 thousand barrels per day, distillate apparent demand increased by 12 thousand barrels per day, and jet fuel apparent demand decreased by 0.25 thousand barrels per day [3] Refinery and Market Conditions - US refinery utilization rate declined for the second consecutive week, dropping 0.3% to 94.3%, moving further away from the previous high of nearly 97%. After the report was released, the market generally trended downwards. With the end of the driving peak season after the Labor Day weekend in early September, refinery operations are expected to follow a seasonal decline pattern, which is a bearish factor for crude oil demand [4][6] Product - Specific Analysis - Gasoline inventory decreased significantly before the Labor Day weekend, but the data at the end of the peak season has limited influence. Distillate demand, which rises seasonally with the start of the autumn harvest, remains stable. Although distillate inventory increased, it is still at a low level, and the distillate crack spread is expected to remain strong. However, due to the smaller consumption volume of distillates compared to gasoline, the overall terminal demand is expected to decline in the future [8]

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. Core View of the Report The overnight attack on an oil tanker by the Houthi armed forces and the US considering giving up diplomatic efforts to promote a cease - fire between Russia and Ukraine have raised geopolitical concerns, stimulating oil prices to rise. However, as the summer peak - season demand ends, there is pressure on the upside.
