During the recent oil price decline, shale oil production only decreased by 10,000 barrels per day. OPEC exports have increased, but most of them are absorbed by China, so there is no obvious visible inventory in the market. In Europe, the overall refined oil inventory is in a low - level destocking state, the crude oil inventory has increased, but the refinery demand is about to enter the peak season, and the diesel crack spread remains high [8]. - Market analysis: Since July, the crude oil market has gradually weakened and then consolidated in a range. In August, it first rose and then fell, showing a short - term weak shock. In September, it continued to be weak and bearish and then gradually rebounded. In October, it fell sharply and then stopped falling and rebounded [8]. - Options factor research: The implied volatility of crude oil options has decreased to near the average.
