Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Core View of the Report - The EIA weekly report is slightly bearish for the oil market. The unexpected increase in crude oil inventories, combined with the recent significant increases in global crude oil supply expectations in the EIA and IEA monthly reports, exerts downward pressure on oil prices in the medium to long term [6]. Summary by Relevant Catalog Main Data Overview - As of August 8, U.S. commercial crude oil inventories were 426,698 thousand barrels, a week-on-week increase of 3,036 thousand barrels, contrary to the expected decrease of 275 thousand barrels. Cushing inventories increased by 45 thousand barrels, and strategic reserve inventories increased by 226 thousand barrels [2][3]. - Gasoline inventories decreased by 792 thousand barrels, in line with the expected decrease of 700 thousand barrels, and distillate inventories increased by 714 thousand barrels, in line with the expected increase of 700 thousand barrels [2][3]. - U.S. crude oil production increased by 43 thousand barrels per day to 13,327 thousand barrels per day, net imports increased by 699 thousand barrels per day to 3,343 thousand barrels per day, and processing volume increased by 56 thousand barrels per day to 17,180 thousand barrels per day [3]. - The four - week smoothed U.S. crude oil terminal apparent demand increased by 543.25 thousand barrels per day to 21,159 thousand barrels per day, gasoline apparent demand increased by 127.75 thousand barrels per day to 9,039.75 thousand barrels per day, distillate apparent demand increased by 69.5 thousand barrels per day to 3,592.25 thousand barrels per day, and jet fuel apparent demand increased by 50.5 thousand barrels per day to 1,827.25 thousand barrels per day [3]. Report Review - Last week, U.S. commercial crude oil inventories unexpectedly increased while the downstream refinery utilization rate remained high, dropping 0.5% to 96.4%. The increase in inventories was mainly due to increased imports and decreased exports of U.S. crude oil. Since the end of June, U.S. crude oil exports have been slightly lower than before, suggesting poor overseas demand or the impact of tariffs [4]. - Gasoline demand has rebounded slightly, but its overall performance during this year's driving peak season has been poor, often falling below 9 million barrels per day. As the peak travel season is in its later stage, the market boost is limited. Distillate demand remains stable, and inventories are still at a low level. As the weather turns to autumn and the driving peak season enters the second half, the market will focus on distillates [8].

Group 1: Report Overview - Report Type: Crude Oil Daily Report [1] - Date: August 14, 2025 [2] Group 2: Research Team - Energy and Chemical Research Team Members: Li Jie (Crude Oil and Asphalt), Ren Junchi (PTA, MEG), Peng Haozhou (Industrial Silicon and Carbon Market), Peng Jinglin (Polyolefins), Liu Youran (Pulp), Feng Zeren (Glass and Soda Ash) [4] Group 3: Market Review and Operation Suggestions - **Market Performance**: WTI's opening price was $64.00, closing at $63.08, with a high of $64.34, a low of $63.06, a decline of 1.38%, and a trading volume of 26.96 million hands; Brent's opening price was $66.8, closing at $66.11, with a high of $67.06, a low of $65.98, a decline of 0.78%, and a trading volume of 22.81 million hands; SC's opening price was 491.7 yuan/barrel, closing at 489.5 yuan/barrel, with a high of 493.6 yuan/barrel, a low of 486.7 yuan/barrel, a decline of 0.97%, and a trading volume of 7.75 million hands [6] - **Inventory Data**: As of the week of August, US crude oil inventories increased by 1.519 million barrels week - on - week, exceeding market expectations, while gasoline inventories decreased [6] - **Market Analysis**: US and Russian leaders are about to have direct talks. The US hopes to pressure Russia - Ukraine to cease fire through sanctions. Russian crude oil has a relatively complete export channel, so the impact of sanctions is still short - term. US gasoline consumption during the peak season this year is lower than expected, and refined oil consumption is not optimistic. If the US finally imposes secondary tariffs on Russian oil, it may be an opportunity to enter short positions [7] Group 4: Industry News - **IEA Monthly Report**: The forecast for total global oil supply in 2025 was raised from 105.1 million barrels per day to 105.5 million barrels per day, and the forecast for 2026 was raised from 106.4 million barrels per day to 107.4 million barrels per day. The forecast for global oil demand growth in 2025 was lowered from 704,000 barrels per day to 685,000 barrels per day, and the forecast for 2026 was lowered from 722,000 barrels per day to 699,000 barrels per day [8] Group 5: Data Overview - **Data Sources**: Bloomberg, wind, CFTC, EIA, and the Research and Development Department of Jianxin Futures [11][12][14] - **Data Charts**: Include global high - frequency crude oil inventories, WTI and Brent fund positions, spot prices of WTI, Oman, and Dtd Brent, US crude oil production growth rate, and EIA crude oil inventories [13][15][19]

Group 1: General Information - Report Title: Crude Oil Daily [1] - Date: August 13, 2025 [2] - Research Team: Energy and Chemical Research Team [4] Group 2: Market Review and Operation Suggestions - **Market Review (USD/barrel or CNY/barrel)** - WTI: Opened at 63.48, closed at 64, with a high of 64.44, a low of 63.02, a daily increase of 0.19%, and a trading volume of 20.39 million hands [6] - Brent: Opened at 66.25, closed at 66.71, with a high of 67.13, a low of 65.81, a daily increase of 0.18%, and a trading volume of 22.39 million hands [6] - SC (CNY/barrel): Opened at 495.4, closed at 495.2, with a high of 496.6, a low of 492.3, a daily increase of 0.55%, and a trading volume of 8.06 million hands [6] - **Core View** - US peak - season consumption has shown no significant improvement this year, and the impact of US - Russia negotiations on oil prices may be short - term. If the US ultimately imposes secondary tariffs on Russian oil, it may be an opportunity to enter short positions [7] - **Fundamental Analysis** - US and Russian leaders are about to have direct talks, and the US hopes to achieve an early cease - fire in Russia and Ukraine through sanctions. However, Russian crude oil has a relatively complete export channel, so the impact of sanctions remains short - term [6] - As of the week of the 1st, US gasoline demand was below the 5 - year average. Gasoline consumption during the peak season has not significantly recovered, and after 5 consecutive weeks of consumption below the 2024 level, the growth rate has just turned positive. Even with lower gasoline prices, consumption remains weak, indicating that US peak - season travel consumption this year is lower than expected [6] Group 3: Industry News - The Saratov refinery of Rosneft in the Volga region stopped receiving oil after being attacked [8] - Ukrainian President Zelensky discussed sanctions on Russian oil with Modi. They agreed to plan a meeting at the UN General Assembly in September and formulate a mutual visit plan [8] Group 4: Data Overview - The report presents multiple data charts, including global high - frequency crude oil inventories, WTI and Brent fund positions, Dtd Brent prices, WTI and Oman spot prices, US crude oil production growth rate, and EIA crude oil inventories, with data sources from Bloomberg, Wind, CFTC, EIA, etc. [10][12][20][23]

Market Overview - On August 5, PTA futures experienced low-level narrow fluctuations, with a slight improvement in the spot trading atmosphere. The basis was weak, and trading was mainly based on negotiations, with a small number of polyester factories making sales. Mainstream suppliers had some sales, with August cargo trading at a discount of 12 to 25 yuan/ton, and prices negotiated in the range of 4650 to 4660 yuan/ton. September transactions were at par and slightly above the September futures [1] Profitability - As of August 5, the PTA spot processing fee was around 140 yuan/ton, while the processing fee for TA2509 futures was 271 yuan/ton [2] Supply and Demand - Supply: As of August 1, PTA operating load decreased to 72.6%, a drop of 7.3%. - Demand: As of August 1, polyester operating load slightly decreased to approximately 88.1%, a decline of 0.6%. On August 5, the price of polyester filament showed a slight downward adjustment, with overall sales being sluggish. Current inventory levels at filament factories are manageable, and prices are mainly adjusting slightly with raw materials. Terminal loads are temporarily maintained, awaiting the "Golden September and Silver October" period. Future attention will be on crude oil prices and the initiation of the peak season [3] Market Outlook - With low processing fees, there will be an increase in PTA plant maintenance in August. The supply and demand situation for PTA is expected to improve compared to previous expectations. However, with the commissioning of new PTA facilities by Helun Petrochemical and continued weak new orders from terminals, the medium-term supply and demand outlook for PTA is weak. Additionally, oil prices are under pressure due to OPEC+ production increase expectations. Short-term PTA is expected to experience weak fluctuations, but as market macro sentiment gradually stabilizes, there may be emotional support for PTA. Strategies include exiting TA short positions and monitoring support around 4600, as well as rolling back TA9-1 operations and expanding low PTA processing fees around 250 [4]
