Report Summary - Market focus includes significant changes in US-Russia relations with US sanctions on two major Russian oil companies, rising expectations of Fed rate cuts, and EU approval of the 19th round of sanctions against Russia [7] - Key data shows that as of October 22, the domestic asphalt sample enterprise operating rate was 31.1%, down 4.7 percentage points from the previous cycle; as of October 24, the weekly asphalt output was 552,000 tons, a decrease of 72,000 tons from the previous week; the factory inventory was 710,000 tons, a decrease of 17,000 tons; and the social inventory was 1.005 million tons, a decrease of 46,000 tons [7] - The main view is that in the short term, asphalt presents a pattern of weak supply and demand. Supply decreases seasonally as refineries enter maintenance, and demand is weak due to cold and rainy weather in the north. Crude oil is the main factor affecting the asphalt market. Recent geopolitical risks and supply tightening expectations have led to a rebound in oil prices, but the impact may not be sustainable, and oil prices are expected to fluctuate widely. Attention should be paid to macro - level changes and the OPEC+ production meeting on November 2 [7] - The trading strategy suggests paying attention to the BU2601 contract in the range of 3,200 - 3,350 yuan/ton [8] Multi - Empty Focus - Bullish factors for asphalt are macro - improvement and geopolitical risks, while bearish factors are weak demand and potential OPEC+ production increase [11] Macro Analysis Sanctions on Russia - The US Treasury sanctioned two major Russian oil companies and their subsidiaries on October 22, covering nearly half of Russia's crude oil exports (about 2.2 million barrels per day in H1). The EU approved the 19th round of sanctions on the same day, including banning Russian LNG imports and adding travel restrictions on Russian diplomats [12] - These sanctions have increased geopolitical risks and pushed up the market, but they are not a full - scale embargo. They mainly increase Russia's oil trade costs, with limited impact on global supply. The upward movement of the market is more emotional, and the rebound space of oil prices is limited due to expected supply surplus [12] Fed Rate Cut Expectations - Due to the US government shutdown, economic data is delayed, posing challenges to the Fed's decision - making. However, market expectations for a Fed rate cut are rising. As of October 23, the probability of a 25 - basis - point rate cut in October is 96.7%, and the probability of a cumulative 50 - basis - point cut in December is 96.5% [13] - Fed Chairman Powell hinted that the long - term quantitative tightening (QT) may be near the end. The support of potential rate cuts for the market is limited [13] IEA Forecast - The IEA raised the 2025 global crude oil supply growth forecast by 300,000 barrels per day to 3 million barrels per day and lowered the demand growth forecast by 30,000 barrels per day to 710,000 barrels per day. OPEC+ production increases are putting more pressure on the supply side, and the supply - demand imbalance is expected to be more severe [14] Supply - Demand Analysis Supply - As of October 24, the weekly domestic asphalt output was 552,000 tons, a decrease of 72,000 tons from the previous week. Output from local refineries decreased significantly, while that from major refineries was basically flat. Major refineries' operating rates may have peaked, and supply pressure is expected to decrease [15] - As of October 22, the operating rate of domestic asphalt sample enterprises was 31.1%, a decrease of 4.7 percentage points from the previous cycle. The operating rates in South China and Shandong decreased significantly. With major refineries entering seasonal maintenance, supply pressure is expected to ease [23] Demand - As of October 24, the weekly domestic asphalt shipment volume was 429,000 tons, an increase of 36,000 tons from the previous statistical date. However, as demand enters the off - season, shipment volume is likely to decline seasonally [24] - As of October 24, the weekly capacity utilization rate of domestic modified asphalt was 12.09%, a decrease of 0.51 percentage points from the previous week. It is expected to decline further in the fourth quarter as the downstream enters the off - season [27] Inventory - As of October 24, the factory inventory of domestic asphalt sample enterprises was 710,000 tons, a decrease of 17,000 tons from the previous week, mainly due to the decrease in East China. Cold and rainy weather in the north has affected construction and inventory turnover, and inventory accumulation pressure is increasing [36] - As of October 24, the domestic asphalt social inventory was 1.005 million tons, a decrease of 46,000 tons from the previous week, continuing the downward trend since August but at a slower pace [41] Spread - As of October 24, the weekly processing profit of domestic asphalt was - 337.5 yuan/ton, an increase of 56.6 yuan/ton from the previous week. The domestic asphalt basis was 193 yuan/ton, and as of October 22, the asphalt - to - crude oil ratio was 54.72 [50] Market Outlook - In the short term, asphalt maintains a pattern of weak supply and demand. The supply is affected by refinery maintenance, and the demand is limited by weather. Crude oil is the key factor for the asphalt market. Geopolitical risks have led to a short - term rebound in oil prices, but the sustainability is uncertain. Oil prices are expected to fluctuate widely. Attention should be paid to macro - level changes and the OPEC+ production meeting on November 2. The BU2601 contract in the range of 3,200 - 3,350 yuan/ton is recommended for attention [52]

最后5小时！ 2026见闻历早鸟价 ， 并送超值大礼包，手慢无 上述两家华尔街大行均将美联储结束"量化紧缩"（QT）的时间预测提前，理由是近期美元融资市场借贷成本上升。此前他们预计，美联储逐步抛售美国国债和 抵押贷款支持证券（MBS）的这一自2022年6月开始的缩表操作，将于今年12月或明年年初结束。 目前，美联储的资产负债表已经从峰值下降了2.38万亿美元，截至今年9月底为6.59万亿美元。 美联储官员们预计将在下周于华盛顿召开的FOMC会议上讨论资产负债表的走向。市场普遍认为，美联储的政策利率有望下调至3.75%–4%，但华尔街对决策 者何时正式结束量化紧缩仍存在分歧。 包括道明证券（TD Securities）和 Wrightson ICAP在内的一些机构已将预期提前至10月，而巴克莱银行和高盛集团则预计会在稍晚时间结束。 本月早些时候，美联储主席鲍威尔在讲话中表示，当银行体系准备金略高于决策者认为"充裕"的水平时，即足以防止市场动荡的最低要求，美联储的资产负债 表缩减将会停止。鲍威尔同时发出迄今最强烈信号，称美联储可能在未来几个月内接近这一点。 摩根大通和美国银行的策略师们最新预计，美联储将于本月停止 ...

当抛物线开始喘息时，故事并未结束——只是章节之间的停顿。 蓝莓外汇认为黄金近期的回落至4000美元一线，并不是崩盘的迹象，而更像是市场的再校准。毕竟，从 2000美元涨到4000美元只用了不到五年，而从3300美元冲到4300美元更是短短六十天之内完成——如此 迅猛的走势，终究要有一次物理意义上的"放气"。这并非恐慌，而是平衡的自然回归。屏幕上看似剧烈 的波动，其实是市场在高速奔跑后的一次深呼吸。 这场从上海到纽约都被交易员关注的5%下跌，并非阴谋或有意打压，而是杠杆与算法交织的必然结 果。短期期权到期引发系统性卖盘，高频交易程序随即接管了节奏——先卖出，再计算。但在所有混乱 之中，黄金的基本结构仍稳固：GLD持仓仅减少0.6%，未平仓合约几乎未变，主要经纪商的头寸也并 不极端。令人意外的是，真正"持有大量黄金"的投资者几乎没有抛售！更多人只是进行再平衡操作。换 言之，人类投资者并未丧失信心，只是机器在清除过度动能。这不是恶意，而是数学的逻辑。 而数学的方向，依然指向北方——上涨。各国央行距离满足其黄金储备目标仍有很大空间。如今许多央 行黄金储备占比仍不足10%，意味着约2650吨的潜在需求仍静候时机。一旦这 ...

Core Insights - The U.S. banking system's reserves have declined for two consecutive weeks, falling below $3 trillion, which is a critical factor for the Federal Reserve's decision on balance sheet reduction [1] - As of October 22, bank reserves decreased by approximately $59 billion, reaching $2.93 trillion, the lowest level since the week of January 1 [1] - The decline in reserves coincides with the Treasury's increased borrowing to rebuild cash balances after raising the debt ceiling in July, which has drawn liquidity from other liabilities on the Fed's balance sheet [1] Group 1 - The continuous drop in reserves indicates a tightening liquidity environment, impacting the operations of the financial system [1] - Market expectations suggest that the Federal Reserve will discuss the future of its balance sheet in the upcoming meeting, with a high likelihood of policy rates being lowered to 3.75%–4% [1] - Strategists from firms like JPMorgan and Bank of America anticipate that the Fed will halt the reduction of its approximately $6.6 trillion balance sheet this month, ending the liquidity withdrawal process [1] Group 2 - Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell indicated that the balance sheet reduction would stop when bank reserves are slightly above "ample" levels, potentially approaching this threshold in the coming months [1] - Rising money market rates and high repo rates suggest that reserves are no longer abundant, indicating that the financial system is nearing a state of scarcity [1]

Group 1 - The scale of reserves in the US banking system is continuously declining, recently falling below the important threshold of $3 trillion for two consecutive weeks, reaching a low of $2.93 trillion as of the week ending October 22, which is the lowest level since January of this year [1] - A significant reason for the decrease in reserves is the US government's increased bond issuance to replenish the treasury cash following the debt ceiling increase, which is tightening market liquidity [3] - The tightening of liquidity is reflected not only in the decline of reserves but also in the fluctuations of money market rates, indicating that the banking system's reserves are shifting from "ample" to "tight" [3] Group 2 - The usage of the Federal Reserve's reverse repurchase tool, which was once a "reservoir" to alleviate excess funds, is also shrinking, indicating a further tightening of overall liquidity [4] - The Federal Reserve's balance sheet is approximately $6.6 trillion, and it continues to withdraw funds from the market through its "quantitative tightening" policy [4] - Federal Reserve Chairman Powell's recent statement that "bank reserves are slightly above ample levels" is seen as a significant signal, with the "ample level" referring to the minimum reserve scale needed for stable financial system operation [4]

随着美联储继续缩减其资产负债表(这一过程被称为量化紧缩)，资金的变动影响着金融体系的日常运作。由于量化紧缩可能加剧流动性限制并导致市场动 荡，美联储今年早些时候已放缓缩表步伐，减少了每月让其持有的债券到期的数量。 市场普遍预计，美联储官员下周在华盛顿开会时将讨论资产负债表的前景。尽管政策利率降至3.75%–4%被视为可能性很高，但华尔街对政策制定者何时会 停止量化紧缩——美联储用来影响利率的另一个工具——则不那么确定。 智通财经APP注意到，美国银行系统的准备金水平已连续第二周下滑，进一步跌破3万亿美元。准备金是美联储决定是否继续缩表的关键考量因素，而此时 正值美联储即将确定其资产负债表路径之际。 根据10月24日发布的美联储数据，截至10月22日当周，银行准备金减少约590亿美元，降至2.93万亿美元，这是自1月1日当周以来的最低水平。 此次下降正值财政部在7月债务上限提高后加大发债力度以重建其现金余额之际。这从美联储资产负债表上的其他负债项目(如隔夜逆回购协议工具和银行准 备金)中抽走了流动性。 如今，随着所谓逆回购工具的资金几近枯竭，存放在美联储的商业银行准备金一直在下降。 货币市场利率持续攀升，尽管本 ...

Group 1: U.S. Sanctions on Russian Oil Companies - The U.S. Treasury announced sanctions against Russia's largest oil companies, Rosneft and Lukoil, which together account for nearly 50% of Russia's crude oil exports [2][4] - The sanctions are aimed at curbing funding for Russia's military actions in Ukraine and are part of the 19th round of sanctions by the EU, which includes a ban on Russian liquefied natural gas [2][4] - The sanctions were unexpected by the market, leading to a significant increase in oil prices, with WTI crude rising by 5.62% to $61.79 per barrel [5][6] Group 2: Market Reactions and Predictions - Following the announcement of sanctions, oil prices surged, indicating that the market may have been caught off guard, with analysts suggesting that the price could fluctuate based on the strictness of sanction enforcement [5][6] - RBC Capital Markets described the sanctions as the most substantial effort by the U.S. to limit Russian revenue to date [6] - Analysts predict that the current low oil prices provide the U.S. with room to escalate actions against Russia without significantly impacting American consumers [4][7] Group 3: Broader Economic Implications - The sanctions and subsequent rise in oil prices could have broader implications for the global economy, particularly in light of ongoing geopolitical tensions and potential supply shortages [4][5] - The U.S. administration's timing for these sanctions may be influenced by the upcoming midterm elections, suggesting a strategic political motive behind the actions [7]
