1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided 2. Core View of the Report - The short - term, medium - term, and intraday views of crude oil 2509 are oscillatory, oscillatory, and oscillatory and weak respectively, with an overall view of weak operation [1]. - Due to the Israeli air strikes on Lebanese Hezbollah, the geopolitical risk in the Middle East has emerged again. After a sharp decline, the confidence of oil market bulls has increased, and the geopolitical premium has rebounded. With the arrival of the peak oil - using season in the Northern Hemisphere, the demand factor for crude oil has come into play. Against the backdrop of the divergence between bulls and bears, the domestic crude oil futures 2509 contract maintained an oscillatory and weak trend in the night session last Friday, with the futures price slightly down 0.70% to 497.6 yuan/barrel. It is expected that the domestic crude oil futures 2508 contract may maintain an oscillatory and weak trend on Monday [5]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs 3.1 Time Cycle Explanation - Short - term refers to within one week, and medium - term refers to two weeks to one month [1]. - For varieties with night trading, the starting price is the night - trading closing price; for those without night trading, it is the previous day's closing price. The ending price is the closing price of the day's daytime session to calculate the price change [2]. - A decline greater than 1% is considered a fall, a decline of 0 - 1% is oscillatory and weak, an increase of 0 - 1% is oscillatory and strong, and an increase greater than 1% is a rise [3]. - The concepts of oscillatory and strong/weak only apply to the intraday view, not to the short - term and medium - term views [4]. 3.2 Crude Oil (SC) Market Analysis - The intraday view is oscillatory and weak, the medium - term view is oscillatory, and the reference view is weak operation [5]. - The core logic is the combination of geopolitical risks, the rebound of bullish confidence, and the peak oil - using season, leading to the oscillatory and weak trend of the crude oil futures contract [5].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. 2. Core Views of the Report - **Weekly Review**: This week, the global fuel oil price fluctuations decreased, and the premium caused by geopolitical risks was fully reversed. High - sulfur prices were relatively weaker than low - sulfur, showing a slight downward trend, while low - sulfur prices were relatively firm [4]. - **Weekly Outlook**: After the geopolitical risks were removed, the market focus shifted to fundamentals. OPEC's potential increase in crude oil production may lead to a decline in crude oil prices on Monday, dragging down fuel oil prices. For high - sulfur fuel oil, with large refinery maintenance in the Middle East and Russia, but high gasoline and diesel cracks, refinery operating rates may rise, increasing supply. Meanwhile, high - sulfur demand lacks growth due to weak secondary raw material demand from Indian and Chinese refineries. Overall, high - sulfur fuel oil may continue to decline. For low - sulfur fuel oil, low exports from Brazil and Japan and domestic refineries' focus on gasoline and diesel production may support LU valuation [4]. 3.

For FU, the reduction of warehouse receipts and the decline in overseas spot prices led to a shift from a discount to a premium. For low - sulfur fuel oil, the stronger overseas spot prices due to reduced exports from Brazil and Japan led to a discount of LU against overseas spots [83]. - **Spot Market Internal - External Spreads**: Data on the 380 - spot internal - external spread, 0.5% spot internal - external spread, and LU - Singapore internal - external spread are presented [86][87][88]. - **Futures Market Internal - External Spreads**: Data on the internal - external spreads of FU and LU contracts against the Singapore market are presented [90][91]. - **FU and LU Positions and Trading Volume Changes**: Data on the trading volumes and positions of fuel oil main contracts, continuous contracts, and low - sulfur fuel oil contracts are presented [93][95][98]. - **FU and LU Warehouse Receipt Quantity Changes**: Data on the quantity changes of FU and LU warehouse receipts are presented [105][106].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Views of the Report - Geopolitical risks have reignited, and oil prices have restarted their upward trend. The current fundamentals remain in a tight - balance, and it is not advisable to short - sell oil prices rashly even with the OPEC meeting approaching. Investors are advised to control risks and adopt a wait - and - see approach [2]. - For methanol, it has returned to its own fundamentals with low inventory and strong spot performance. However, the high valuation of methanol spot has compressed downstream profits. It is expected that imports in August will be limited, and it is difficult for ports to accumulate large - scale inventories before the 09 contract. The overall short - term contradiction is limited, and it is recommended to wait and see or consider long - position opportunities on dips [4]. - For urea, with more maintenance devices and falling domestic demand, it has entered a range - bound operation. Although exports are ongoing and port inventories are rising, domestic demand is entering the off - season. In the future, supply will decline, and demand and exports are expected to improve slightly. It is advisable to consider short - term long - position opportunities on dips [6]. - For rubber, NR and RU have shifted from a stagnant - rise to a decline. Bulls focus on potential production cuts, while bears are concerned about weak demand. Short - term trading should adopt a neutral approach, and a long - term bullish view can be maintained for the second half of the year.

The main logic of the market is inventory reduction, and the fundamentals are under pressure. Although it has rebounded recently, it will still face pressure in the future [14]. - For styrene, the cost of pure benzene has increased, supply has risen, and demand is in the off - season. The short - term geopolitical impact has subsided, and the price is expected to be volatile and bearish [17]. - For polyethylene, the short - term contradiction has shifted from cost - driven decline to inventory reduction driven by high - maintenance. With no new production capacity planned in July, the price is expected to remain volatile [19]. - For polypropylene, the profit of Shandong refineries has rebounded, and the supply of propylene is expected to increase. Demand is in the off - season, and the price is expected to be bearish in June [20]. - For PX, the maintenance season has ended, and the load remains high. In the third quarter, PX is expected to continue to reduce inventories due to new PTA device production. After the geopolitical situation eases, it is advisable to consider long - position opportunities on dips following the trend of crude oil [22][23]. - For PTA, the load remains stable, and downstream load has decreased. In the future, supply is expected to decrease slightly, and demand is under slight pressure. After the geopolitical situation eases, it is advisable to consider long - position opportunities on dips following the trend of PX [24]. - For ethylene glycol, the supply load has decreased, and the downstream load is expected to decline from its high level. The inventory reduction at ports is expected to slow down. The fundamentals are weak, and it is advisable to consider short - position opportunities in the future [25]. 3.

Core Viewpoint - The gold market is currently experiencing a critical adjustment phase, influenced by mixed macroeconomic factors and technical indicators, leading to potential short-term volatility and risks of price corrections [1][10]. Group 1: Macroeconomic Analysis - There is a divergence in expectations regarding the Federal Reserve's policy, with the market anticipating at least one rate cut this year, but the timing and extent remain uncertain. Key upcoming data, such as non-farm payrolls and CPI, will be crucial in determining gold price movements [2]. - Geopolitical risks, including the Russia-Ukraine conflict and U.S.-China trade relations, continue to pose uncertainties that may support gold prices despite a reduction in market hedging behavior [3]. - Central banks, particularly in emerging markets like China, Turkey, and India, are still increasing their gold reserves, providing medium to long-term support for gold prices, although the pace of purchases has shown signs of slowing [4]. Group 2: Technical Analysis - Technical charts indicate short-term support levels at $2280 and $2255, with resistance levels at $2340 and $2365. The MACD on the daily chart has formed a bearish crossover, and the RSI has retreated to neutral territory, suggesting weakened momentum [5]. - A head-and-shoulders pattern has formed on the 4-hour chart, indicating that a drop below $2280 could lead to further testing of the $2250-$2230 range. Additionally, CFTC data shows a reduction in net long positions by hedge funds, reflecting cautious sentiment among institutions [5]. Group 3: Short-term Outlook and Strategy Recommendations - The short-term outlook is bearish with expectations of a corrective phase, likely maintaining a trading range between $2255 and $2340. Short-term traders are advised to adopt a buy-low, sell-high strategy while awaiting a clearer directional breakout [6]. - The medium-term view suggests positioning for potential gains on dips, especially if upcoming non-farm and inflation data disappoint, which could weaken the dollar and boost gold prices. A sustained move above $2300 and a breakout past $2345 could lead to targets of $2385-$2400 [7][8].
