1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No specific industry investment rating is provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints - The crude oil price is in a range - bound oscillation. The refinery autumn maintenance peak leads to a seasonal decline in demand. With OPEC's continuous production increase, the crude oil balance sheet is expected to gradually loosen. However, due to geopolitical uncertainties and low actual inventories, the short - term oil price direction is unclear, providing limited guidance for fuel oil prices [1]. - High - sulfur fuel oil is in the market re - balancing stage. The near - end supply is relatively abundant, and the Singapore inventory is at a high level, but the pressure has eased. Egyptian procurement demand continues, with an expected import of 690,000 tons in September, a 260,000 - ton increase from August and basically the same as last year. The power generation consumption peak is ending, providing short - term support but expected to decline in October [1]. - For low - sulfur fuel oil, the supply pressure has increased due to the increased exports from Nigeria's Dangote refinery after its RFCC unit shutdown. However, the West - region arbitrage cargo volume has declined, and domestic production remains low, with no serious oversupply expected. In the medium - term, it faces the contradiction of demand share substitution and excess capacity, with support at the lower valuation but large upward resistance [2]. - The short - term strategy for both high - sulfur and low - sulfur fuel oil is neutral, and the medium - term strategy is downward. There are no strategies for cross - variety, cross - period, spot - futures, or options [3]. 3. Summary by Related Content Market Analysis - **Fuel Oil Futures Prices**: The main contract of SHFE fuel oil futures closed up 0.29% at 2,795 yuan/ton, and the main contract of INE low - sulfur fuel oil futures closed up 1.25% at 3,395 yuan/ton [1]. - **Crude Oil Situation**: Crude oil prices are in a range - bound oscillation. The refinery autumn maintenance peak causes a seasonal demand decline. With OPEC's continuous production increase, the crude oil balance sheet is expected to loosen. Geopolitical uncertainties and low inventories make the short - term oil price direction unclear [1]. - **High - Sulfur Fuel Oil**: It is in the market re - balancing stage. Near - end supply is abundant, and Singapore inventory is high but the pressure has eased. Middle - East shipments decreased significantly in September, and Egyptian procurement continues. The power generation consumption peak is ending [1]. - **Low - Sulfur Fuel Oil**: Supply pressure has increased due to increased exports from Nigeria's Dangote refinery. West - region arbitrage cargo volume has declined, and domestic production remains low. There is no serious oversupply expected, and it has a mild Back structure. In the medium - term, it faces demand substitution and excess capacity issues [2]. Strategy - **High - Sulfur Fuel Oil**: Short - term neutral, medium - term downward [3]. - **Low - Sulfur Fuel Oil**: Short - term neutral, medium - term downward [3]. - **Other Strategies**: No strategies for cross - variety, cross - period, spot - futures, or options [3].

In the short term, the geopolitical situation in the Middle East and Russia-Ukraine is unclear, and in the medium term, there is an expectation of oversupply, providing limited guidance on fuel oil price direction [1] - High-sulfur fuel oil is in the stage of market rebalancing, with recent spreads stabilizing and slightly rebounding. There are both long and short factors, with relatively ample near-term supply and high inventory in Singapore. As summer ends, fuel oil demand in the Middle East is expected to decline. Egypt's high-sulfur fuel oil imports in September are currently estimated at 280,000 tons, a decrease of 150,000 tons from the previous month [1] - For low-sulfur fuel oil, the current market contradictions are limited. Domestic production has increased but remains at a low level. The external market structure has made small adjustments, and downstream marine fuel demand is average. In the medium term, low-sulfur fuel oil still faces the contradictions of demand share substitution and surplus capacity, so while there is some support below the valuation, the upward resistance is also large [1] 3. Summary by Related Catalogs Market Analysis - Fuel oil futures prices: The main contract of Shanghai Futures Exchange fuel oil futures closed up 1.09% at 2,786 yuan/ton, and the main contract of INE low-sulfur fuel oil futures closed up 0.48% at 3,383 yuan/ton [1] - Crude oil price situation: Crude oil prices are oscillating in a range.

The crude oil market is facing many uncertainties in the short term, showing a range - bound trend, and the FU and LU fuel oil markets also show narrow fluctuations [1] - High - sulfur fuel oil is in a stage of market adjustment and re - balancing, with both long and short factors in the market. The export of high - sulfur fuel oil in the Middle East is increasing, while the supply from Iran and Russia is restricted. If the market continues to loosen after the peak power - generation season, it may require a further callback in crack spreads to attract incremental demand from refineries [1] - Low - sulfur fuel oil currently has limited market pressure, with low domestic production and tightened Western arbitrage supply. In the short term, the market structure is relatively stable but lacks strong driving forces. In the medium - term, it still faces the contradiction of demand share substitution and excess capacity, with support at the bottom of the valuation and significant upward resistance [1] Group 3: Summary by Related Contents Market Analysis - The main contract of SHFE fuel oil futures closed up 0.25% at 2,832 yuan/ton in daytime trading, while the main contract of INE low - sulfur fuel oil futures closed down 0.49% at 3,474 yuan/ton [1] Strategy - High - sulfur fuel oil: Oscillation [2] - Low - sulfur fuel oil: Oscillation [2] - Cross - variety: No strategy provided [2] - Cross - period: No strategy provided [2] - Spot - futures: No strategy provided [2] - Options: No strategy provided [2] Figures - Figures 1 - 18 show various price and trading volume data of Singapore and domestic fuel oil, including spot prices, swap prices, futures contract closing prices, month - to - month spreads, and trading volume and open interest [3]

Group 1: Market Analysis - The main contract of Shanghai Futures Exchange fuel oil futures closed down 2.39% at 2,821 yuan/ton, and the main contract of INE low-sulfur fuel oil futures closed down 1.47% at 3,485 yuan/ton [1] - The current geopolitical and macro situation remains unclear, especially the limited progress in the Russia-Ukraine peace talks. The crude oil market faces many uncertainties in the short term, and the oil price fell again yesterday, driving down the FU and LU futures [1] - In terms of the fundamentals of fuel oil itself, high-sulfur fuel oil is in a stage of structural adjustment and market rebalancing and currently does not have the conditions to strengthen again. The shipment volume of high-sulfur fuel oil from the Middle East continues to increase, reaching 3.45 million tons in August, an increase of 80,000 tons month-on-month [1] - For low-sulfur fuel oil, the current market pressure is limited. Domestic production remains low, overseas supply shows a tightening trend again, and the contango structure of the outer market has strengthened slightly. In the short term, the market structure remains relatively stable. However, in the medium term, low-sulfur fuel oil still faces the contradiction of being replaced in demand share and having more surplus production capacity. Therefore, although the downside space for valuation is limited, the upward resistance is also large [1] Group 2: Strategy - High-sulfur fuel oil: Oscillation [2] - Low-sulfur fuel oil: Oscillation [2] - Cross-variety: None [2] - Cross-period: None [2] - Spot-futures: None [2] - Options: None [2] Group 3: Graphs - Graphs include Singapore high-sulfur 380 fuel oil spot price, Singapore low-sulfur fuel oil spot price, Singapore high-sulfur fuel oil swap near-month contract, Singapore low-sulfur fuel oil swap near-month contract, Singapore high-sulfur fuel oil near-month spread, Singapore low-sulfur fuel oil near-month spread, fuel oil FU futures main contract closing price, fuel oil FU futures index closing price, fuel oil FU futures near-month contract closing price, fuel oil FU near-month contract spread, fuel oil FU futures main contract trading volume and open interest, fuel oil FU futures total trading volume and open interest, low-sulfur fuel oil LU futures main contract closing price, low-sulfur fuel oil LU futures index closing price, low-sulfur fuel oil LU futures near-month contract price, low-sulfur fuel oil LU futures near-month spread, low-sulfur fuel oil LU futures main contract trading volume and open interest, and low-sulfur fuel oil LU futures total trading volume and open interest [3]

Core Views - The night session of the main contract of the Shanghai Futures Exchange's fuel oil futures closed up 0.07% at 2,703 yuan per ton, and the night session of the main contract of INE low-sulfur fuel oil futures closed up 0.03% at 3,443 yuan per ton [1] - Crude oil prices have shown a volatile downward trend recently, and the cost-side guidance for FU and LU is bearish. The medium-term balance sheet of the oil market is expected to have an oversupply situation, but in the short term, attention should be paid to the progress of talks between Russia, the US, and Ukraine. The change in the US attitude towards sanctions on Russia will affect market sentiment and bring additional price fluctuations [1] - The current fundamentals and market structure of fuel oil are still weak. The supply at the spot end is relatively abundant, the inventory level is high, and there are few bright spots on the demand side except for the peak-season effect of power plants. The market lacks upward driving force [1] - The shipping volume of high-sulfur fuel oil in the Middle East has been increasing month by month, reaching a high of 3.51 million tons in July. According to current shipping schedule data, the shipping volume in August has declined, currently estimated at 2.65 million tons (with upward revision potential in the second half of the month). In the future, as summer ends, local demand in the Middle East will decline, and coupled with the OPEC production increase trend, the high-sulfur fuel oil market is expected to further loosen. However, if the crack spread is adjusted sufficiently to attract a significant improvement in refinery demand, the market structure is expected to stabilize and strengthen again [1] - The current market pressure of low-sulfur fuel oil is limited, but there is no overall shortage expectation. Domestic production has been at a low level, but overseas supply has rebounded, and the external market has shown a marginal weakening trend recently. From a medium-term perspective, since the remaining production capacity of low-sulfur fuel oil is relatively abundant, once the crack profit is appropriate, it will attract supply release. Moreover, the carbon-neutral trend in the shipping industry will gradually replace the market share of low-sulfur fuel oil, and there is significant resistance above the market [2] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Market Analysis - The night session of the main contract of the Shanghai Futures Exchange's fuel oil futures closed up 0.07% at 2,703 yuan per ton, and the night session of the main contract of INE low-sulfur fuel oil futures closed up 0.03% at 3,443 yuan per ton [1] - Crude oil prices have shown a volatile downward trend recently, and the cost-side guidance for FU and LU is bearish.

Report Industry Investment Rating - High-sulfur fuel oil: Oscillation [2] - Low-sulfur fuel oil: Oscillation [2] Core Viewpoints - The main contract of SHFE fuel oil futures closed up 0.25% at 2,826 yuan/ton, while the main contract of INE low-sulfur fuel oil futures closed down 0.25% at 3,526 yuan/ton [1] - After the recent correction, crude oil prices have shown a weak oscillatory trend, providing limited short-term directional guidance for FU and LU prices. The medium-term expectation of a looser balance sheet potentially suppresses the energy sector [1] - In the high-sulfur fuel oil market, after consecutive adjustments to the market structure, short-term contradictions are relatively limited. Currently, spot supply is relatively abundant, while demand lacks growth momentum. Although power generation demand is boosted by the peak season, it lacks drivers beyond seasonality. According to Platts data, Fujairah's fuel oil inventory reached 9.656 million barrels this week, a 21.67% increase from the previous week. Looking ahead, in the long-term trend of crude oil lightening and refinery unit upgrades, structural support remains. If the crack spread adjusts sufficiently to attract a significant rebound in refinery demand, opportunities for the market structure to strengthen again can be monitored [1] - In the low-sulfur fuel oil market, current market pressure is limited, and supply growth remains constrained. Domestic production remains low, and the tight supply situation in the bonded area has not been fully alleviated. Medium-term prospects are not optimistic as the ample remaining low-sulfur fuel oil production capacity will attract supply release once crack spreads are favorable, and the carbon neutrality trend in the shipping industry will gradually replace the market share of low-sulfur fuel oil [1] Strategy Summary - High-sulfur: Close out previous short positions on FU crack spreads (FU-Brent or FU-SC) [2] - Low-sulfur: No specific strategy mentioned [2] - Cross-variety: Close out previous short positions on FU crack spreads (FU-Brent or FU-SC) [2] - Inter-period: Close out previous FU reverse calendar spread positions [2] - Spot-futures: No strategy [2] - Options: No strategy [2] Chart Information - Multiple charts are provided, including those showing Singapore high-sulfur 380 fuel oil spot prices, Singapore low-sulfur fuel oil spot prices, Singapore high-sulfur fuel oil swap near-month contracts, Singapore low-sulfur fuel oil swap near-month contracts, Singapore high-sulfur fuel oil near-month spreads, Singapore low-sulfur fuel oil near-month spreads, fuel oil FU futures main contract closing prices, fuel oil FU futures index closing prices, fuel oil FU futures near-month contract closing prices, fuel oil FU near-month contract spreads, fuel oil FU futures main contract trading volume and open interest, fuel oil FU futures total trading volume and open interest, low-sulfur fuel oil LU futures main contract closing prices, low-sulfur fuel oil LU futures index closing prices, low-sulfur fuel oil LU futures near-month contract prices, low-sulfur fuel oil LU futures near-month spreads, low-sulfur fuel oil LU futures main contract trading volume and open interest, and low-sulfur fuel oil LU futures total trading volume and open interest [3]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - High - sulfur fuel oil: Oscillating [3] - Low - sulfur fuel oil: Oscillating [3] 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Yesterday's decline in crude oil prices drove down the unilateral prices of FU and LU, and the expectation of a looser medium - term balance sheet has potential suppression on the market [2] - The high - sulfur fuel oil market has been operating weakly recently, with the market structure continuously adjusting and the crack spread significantly dropping from its peak. The spot supply is relatively abundant, and there are few bright spots on the demand side except for the peak - season procurement by power plants. However, as the price difference between the East and West regions of high - sulfur fuel oil shrinks to a low level, the supply of arbitrage cargoes may tighten, and the Asia - Pacific market is expected to receive some short - term support. Structurally favorable factors have not completely disappeared in the medium term [2] - The low - sulfur fuel oil market currently has limited positive factors. As the tight diesel situation overseas eases, the support for the low - sulfur fuel oil market may weaken, and there is an expectation of increased component supply. In the medium term, due to the relatively abundant remaining capacity of low - sulfur fuel oil, supply will be released once the crack profit is appropriate. Also, the carbon - neutral trend in the shipping industry will gradually replace the market share of low - sulfur fuel oil, and the market outlook is not optimistic [2] 3. Summary by Related Catalogs Market Analysis - The main contract of Shanghai Futures Exchange fuel oil futures closed down 2.33% at 2,846 yuan/ton during the day session, and the main contract of INE low - sulfur fuel oil futures closed down 2.84% at 3,559 yuan/ton [1] Strategy - High - sulfur: Oscillating; Low - sulfur: Oscillating [3] - For cross - varieties, the previous short positions in the FU crack spread (FU - Brent or FU - SC) can be appropriately closed for profit [3] - For cross - periods, the previous FU reverse arbitrage positions can be gradually closed for profit [3] - For spot - futures: No strategy [3] - For options: No strategy [3]
