Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No investment rating information is provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints - The EIA weekly data shows that gasoline demand remains persistently low during the peak season, and although the report seems bullish on the surface, the weak gasoline demand dampens the positive sentiment [1][8]. - Compared with previous years, this year's US gasoline consumption market is disappointing given the current price level [8]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs Main Data - As of August 1st, US commercial crude oil inventories were 423.662 million barrels, a week - on - week decrease of 3.029 million barrels, exceeding the expected decrease of 0.6 million barrels.

Report Commentary - The decline in US commercial crude oil inventories was due to the increase in refinery utilization rate (reaching a new high this year) and exports. However, the increase in the utilization rate was partly due to the reduction in refinery capacity [4]. - Gasoline demand remained weak, with the four - week smoothed data below 9 million barrels per day for four consecutive weeks during the peak season, indicating that Americans prefer short - distance travel and cut travel budgets this year [6]. - Distillate demand was stable, and the slight decline in inventories was mainly due to increased exports [6]. - After the data release, oil prices initially held steady but then fell due to the news of potential US - Russia - related talks [8].

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Core Views of the Report - This week, oil prices rose and then fell, with the month spreads of the three major crude oil markets increasing. Trump issued a secondary tariff warning to Russia. If Russia does not agree to a major peace agreement with Ukraine, a 100% tariff will be imposed on countries buying Russian oil, which makes the market worried about a decline in global crude oil supply. Although Russian crude oil exports have decreased, even in the case of extreme sanctions, it will not change the oversupply pattern. The market tends to think that the near - end month spreads will strengthen, and take a wait - and - see attitude towards medium - term absolute prices. [6] - OPEC decided to increase the oil production increase in September and implement a production adjustment of 547,000 barrels per day starting from September. With OPEC's "guaranteed production commitment", oil prices dropped rapidly, and Brent crude oil fell below the $70 per barrel mark. [6] - Macroscopically, Trump postponed the effective time of the 15% - 41% reciprocal tariffs on goods exported to the US from 67 trading partners by one week, giving countries a window period for negotiation. The July non - farm payrolls data was disappointing, the market employment deteriorated, and the market urgently bet on a rate cut in September. [6] - Fundamentally, global oil stocks decreased slightly this week, about 2% higher than the same period last year. US commercial inventories increased significantly, the number of oil rigs decreased again, gasoline stocks decreased while diesel stocks increased. Global refinery profits declined this week, and the refinery operation is coming to an end. The absolute price of oil is expected to continue to fall after OPEC+'s statement, but there is still support in reality. It is expected to fall to $55 - 60 per barrel in the fourth quarter.

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content Core Viewpoints - Last week, crude oil showed a trend of rising first and then falling. Trump's extreme pressure on Russia triggered supply concerns and pushed up the geopolitical premium, but the implementation of subsequent measures remains to be observed. In the second half, due to the over - rise correction of the market, the non - farm payrolls data in the US falling short of expectations and the downward revision of the previous value, the fear of economic recession reignited, the VIX index soared, and the capital flight impacted the market, leading to the decline of crude oil. The result of the OPEC+ meeting was in line with expectations. It will increase production by 547,000 barrels per day in September and end the first - stage production restoration ahead of schedule. The subsequent policy will be discussed at the meeting on September 7. Recently, attention should be paid to the macro - sentiment, tracking the VIX index and the US stocks [4] Market Trends - OPEC+ agreed to continue significant production increases in September and exit the current round of production cuts one year ahead of schedule. Eight member countries of OPEC+ reached a resolution to increase production by 548,000 barrels per day in September through a video conference, marking that the organization completed the current - stage supply restoration plan one year ahead of schedule and fully exited the 2.2 million barrels per day production cut agreement implemented by eight member countries since 2023, including the UAE's additional phased production increase quota. Another voluntary production cut agreement of about 1.66 million barrels per day will be re - evaluated by the end of December. This production increase marks a strategic shift of OPEC and its partners from defending oil prices to releasing production capacity, effectively suppressing the impact of geopolitical tensions and seasonal demand peaks on oil prices [4] - As the oil prices in the Middle East rise, Asia will increase its imports of US WTI crude oil in the fourth quarter. Due to the strong demand for high - sulfur crude oil in Asia, the prices of Dubai crude oil and Murban crude oil, the benchmark prices of Middle Eastern crude oil, have risen this month, narrowing the price difference with the low - sulfur light US WTI crude oil. The WTI arbitrage window for Asia has been wide open in the past week, especially for ships arriving in early November. US crude oil producer Occidental Petroleum has sold WTI crude oil to Japanese refiner Taiyo Oil at a premium of about $3.50 per barrel over the October Dubai crude oil quote for delivery in October [5] - The Iranian foreign minister stated that the US needs to compensate for the losses in the conflict before the nuclear negotiations can restart. Iran has set new conditions for restarting the nuclear negotiations with the Trump administration. The US must compensate Iran for the losses caused during the Iran - Israel conflict last month. Iran will not agree to resume negotiations without addressing these issues [5] - The annual rate of the US core PCE price index in June was 2.8%, higher than the expected 2.70%, and the previous value was revised from 2.70% to 2.8%. The monthly rate of the core PCE price index in June was 0.3%, in line with expectations and higher than the previous value of 0.20%. The overall PCE index including food and energy rose 0.3% month - on - month and 2.6% year - on - year, respectively higher than the market expectations of 0.23% and 2.5%. The personal consumption expenditure price index rose 0.3% month - on - month, pushing the annual rate to 2.6%, the highest level since February. Weak spending is due to the cooling of the labor market. Real disposable income remained flat after falling in May, and wages and salaries hardly increased. The July employment report is expected to show a continued slowdown in recruitment and a slight rise in the unemployment rate. The savings rate remained at 4.5%. After the data was released, the spot gold fluctuated slightly in the short term, and the US dollar index rose slightly in the short term [6] - The total number of US oil rigs in the week ending August 1 was 410, compared with 415 in the previous week.
