Group 1: Report Summary - The report is an EIA weekly data report, indicating that peak - season stocking drives demand up but fails to reverse the downward trend [1] Group 2: Main Data - As of May 23, US commercial crude oil inventory was 440.363 million barrels, a week - on - week decrease of 2.795 million barrels, contrary to the expected increase of 0.118 million barrels. Cushing inventory increased by 75 thousand barrels, and strategic reserve inventory increased by 820 thousand barrels [2][3] - Gasoline inventory decreased by 2.441 million barrels, exceeding the expected decrease of 0.5 million barrels, and distillate inventory decreased by 0.724 million barrels, contrary to the expected increase of 0.5 million barrels [2][3] - US crude oil production increased from 13.392 million barrels per day to 13.401 million barrels per day; net imports decreased by 532 thousand barrels per day; processing volume decreased by 162 thousand barrels per day [3] - US crude oil terminal apparent demand (four - week smoothing) increased by 272 thousand barrels per day; gasoline apparent demand (four - week smoothing) increased by 88.5 thousand barrels per day; distillate apparent demand (four - week smoothing) increased by 85.75 thousand barrels per day; jet fuel apparent demand (four - week smoothing) increased by 57.75 thousand barrels per day [3] Group 3: Report Comments - Last week, the unexpected decline in US commercial crude oil inventory was mainly due to reduced net imports. This week, the sluggish US crude oil exports improved, and imports increased week - on - week, leading to the inventory decline. The weekly refinery utilization rate ended a five - week increase, decreasing by 0.5% to 90.2% [4] - The EIA report this week is bullish as both crude oil and refined product inventories are lower than expected, and peak - season stocking is reflected in the implied demand data. However, whether the stocking can remain strong depends on actual terminal demand. The US consumer confidence index has been falling for months [6] - Yesterday, oil prices fell because the US government's appeal allowed a previously blocked tariff policy to continue, and tonight's OPEC + eight - nation meeting may push for accelerated production in July. The EIA weekly data can only briefly slow down the downward trend [6] - Memorial Day on Monday this week is the start of the traditional peak demand season in the US. In the report as of last Friday, fuel demand generally rebounded, showing that mid - tier nodes such as gas stations stocked up in advance, leading to refined product inventories being generally lower than expected [8]

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No investment rating is provided in the report. 2. Core View of the Report The EIA weekly report is bearish. Crude oil and refined oil inventories unexpectedly increased across the board, crude oil exports continued to weaken, and terminal demand was weak, reducing the possibility of a reversal in crude oil demand [8]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Main Data - As of May 16, U.S. commercial crude oil inventories were 443.158 million barrels, a week - on - week increase of 1.328 million barrels, contrary to the expected decrease of 1.3 million barrels. Cushing inventories decreased by 457,000 barrels, and strategic reserve inventories increased by 843,000 barrels [2]. - Gasoline inventories increased by 816,000 barrels, contrary to the expected decrease of 500,000 barrels, and distillate inventories increased by 579,000 barrels, contrary to the expected decrease of 1.4 million barrels [2]. - U.S. crude oil production increased by 5,000 barrels per day to 13.392 million barrels per day, and net imports increased by 110,000 barrels per day to 2.582 million barrels per day [3]. - The four - week smoothed terminal apparent demand for U.S. crude oil decreased by 211,000 barrels per day to 19.6245 million barrels per day, gasoline apparent demand decreased by 192,500 barrels per day to 8.81325 million barrels per day, distillate apparent demand decreased by 122,750 barrels per day, and jet fuel apparent demand decreased by 68,500 barrels per day to 1.6865 million barrels per day [3]. 3.2 Report Comment - The unexpected increase in U.S. commercial crude oil inventories last week was mainly due to continued low crude oil exports and increased net imports. The four - week smoothed export volume hit a new low, indicating weakening global crude oil demand [4]. - The weekly refinery utilization rate increased for the fifth consecutive week by 0.5% to 90.7%, suggesting that this year's slightly longer maintenance season may be coming to an end [4]. - U.S. crude oil production has declined recently, mainly affected by falling oil prices. The average new well operating cost of U.S. shale oil companies is $65 per barrel of WTI [4]. - The strong gasoline demand momentum that exceeded the seasonal norm suddenly stopped, leading to an unexpected increase in gasoline inventories. With the approaching Memorial Day, the poor performance of gasoline demand is worrying. Distillate demand hit a 13 - month low, corresponding to the weakening manufacturing PMI [6]. 3.3 Market Impact - The EIA report was bearish. Inventory increases, weakening exports, and weak terminal demand all pointed to a weak oil market. The U.S. EIA report on the night before last contributed to the decline in oil prices, resulting in a negative daily line [8]. - Oil prices opened higher yesterday due to news of Israel's potential attack on Iranian nuclear facilities, but the lack of a realistic basis for such an attack led to a subsequent decline in oil prices [8].
