Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content Group 2: Core Views of the Report - The overall energy and chemical sector is in a volatile trend. The downstream of the chemical industry is generally weak, with the terminal order index declining compared to May. The peak of supply - side maintenance was in May, and after destocking in May, the market frequently trades on the progress of device maintenance and restart. Currently, the maintenance schedule of a large refinery's reforming unit in East China is crucial.

一、周三A股如期以涨幅开盘并站上3400点，看起来确实鼓舞人心，但是我们也不能只看表象，上一次是5月14日勉强站上了3400点，但结果只是昙花一 现，第二天就失守了3400点，直至昨天才重新又勉强站上了3400点，我估计这次较大可能仍将又失守3400点。 二、周三下午A股并未表现上行趋势，而是震荡小幅下行的走势，这或是站上3400点之后，A股没有了上行的动力，否则为什么没有激发更大的力量向上继 续走高呢，今天缩量至1.29万亿，与上一日1.45万亿的量能规模相比，缩量1600亿，站上3400点并未激起博反弹力量的跟进，反而使市场有一种见顶的可 能，今天较大可能将向下回落转跌。 三、美国CPI数据昨晚公布，数据低于预期，这使得市场预期美联储降息预期升温，预计美联储在9月前降息的可能性上升至75%，但国际地缘风险因素愈 演愈烈，老美关税事项或将重新掀起风暴，这对全球资本市场而言将是一个较大的冲击。 四、总体而言，周三A股虽然站上了3400点，但并未激发市场接盘力量的跟进，3400点或将是阶段性顶部，我分析判断今天A股将向下走低并失守3400点， 大家等开盘后看看是不是这样，我的观点具体表述如下，欢迎大家围观点评。 ...

Core Viewpoint - The short-term oil price is expected to experience a volatile upward trend due to the summer demand peak and interest rate cut expectations, but caution is advised regarding OPEC's production increase and fluctuating trade policies [1][2][3] Supply and Demand Dynamics - The current oil price rebound is supported by a dynamic balance between supply and demand, with OPEC planning to increase production by 411,000 barrels per day in July, alongside potential overproduction risks from countries like Kazakhstan [2] - Seasonal demand is expected to rise due to increased travel during the summer, but overall demand may be constrained by weak global economic recovery, creating a tug-of-war between strong seasonal demand and weak macroeconomic conditions [2][3] - Supply disruptions from events like Canadian wildfires and geopolitical conflicts (e.g., reduced Russian exports) are providing short-term support against the pressures of increased production [2][3] Policy Influence - The expectation of interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve is strengthening demand-side dynamics, as lower borrowing costs could stimulate energy consumption and provide a core upward driver for oil prices [2] - Recent U.S. employment data indicates a stable job market, reinforcing the likelihood of a rate cut, which could further enhance oil demand [2] - Trade policy uncertainties, including delays in U.S.-EU negotiations and unilateral U.S. actions (e.g., sanctions on Venezuela), are creating volatility in market confidence and could negatively impact long-term oil demand resilience [2][3] Geopolitical Risks - Geopolitical tensions are amplifying supply disruption risks, with events such as the Ukraine conflict and U.S.-Iran nuclear negotiations contributing to increased oil price volatility [3] - The potential for OPEC's production increases to exceed expectations and the unpredictability of U.S. trade policies are highlighted as key risks for the oil market [3] Market Outlook - The short-term outlook for oil prices is characterized by a volatile upward trend driven by seasonal demand peaks, interest rate cut expectations, and geopolitical premiums, while mid to long-term pressures may arise from non-OPEC supply increases and potential oversupply by 2025 [3]
