Group 1 - The core viewpoint of the article highlights the geopolitical risks in the oil market, particularly the impact of the Israel-Hamas ceasefire and ongoing sanctions against Iran and Russia [4][5]. - The ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas is expected to reduce geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, potentially leading to a decrease in the geopolitical risk premium on oil prices [4]. - OPEC+ plans to increase production by 137,000 barrels per day in November, but actual production increases may fall short of targets due to limited spare capacity among member countries [5]. Group 2 - The announcement of new tariffs on imports from China by the U.S. could negatively impact global oil demand, with the IEA projecting a growth of 740,000 barrels per day in global oil demand by 2025 [6]. - There is a risk of inventory accumulation in the fourth quarter as oil supply is expected to exceed demand, which may exert downward pressure on oil prices [7]. - The article notes that upstream capital expenditure growth may not meet expectations, and there could be significant volatility in oil and gas prices [8].

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the document Group 2: Core Views of the Report - This week, crude oil prices tumbled due to macro - sentiment and may continue to be weak in the short term. The global crude oil supply is in a pattern of cautious growth under "tight balance". The OPEC + alliance will increase production slightly in November, while non - OPEC + supply, such as US shale oil, faces bottlenecks. Global crude oil demand shows resilience but with a changing internal structure. The growth of demand is shifting from gasoline to diesel and aviation fuel. There are uncertainties in future demand due to the overall economic outlook. [6][7] - Short - term, the price may continue to decline by $2 - 3 per barrel. By the end of this year and the beginning of next year, Brent and WTI may test $50 per barrel, and SC may test 420 yuan per barrel. Although the price decline has accelerated under the influence of trade frictions, it is difficult to decline continuously in the medium - long term. Attention should be paid to potential reversals in macro - expectations, which may amplify price fluctuations. [7] - The logic behind the views includes the intensification of Sino - US trade frictions, continuous OPEC + production increases and the start of seasonal inventory accumulation. There is a large long - term oversupply pressure, and inventory accumulation in the fourth quarter is hard to disprove. Attention should also be paid to the risk of a decline in Russian oil exports due to potential sanctions, and the increase in oil freight rates may stimulate the expansion of cross - regional spreads. [8] - In terms of valuation, the short - term valuation is at a medium - low level, and the oil price has fallen close to the cost of shale oil and is near the low point of this year. The strategy is to remain on the sidelines for single - sided trading and not to bottom - fish for now. Hold a light long - spread position (buy SC11, sell SC12) and add positions opportunistically in the future. The EFS spread and SC - Dubai spread may reverse. [8] Group 3: Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 1. Macro - Sino - US trade frictions have escalated again, and the gold - oil ratio has increased. Overseas PPI has risen, and attention should be paid to inflation transmission. The RMB exchange rate has weakened slightly, and social financing has declined. [13][19][24] 2. Supply - OPEC +: The core supply side, the OPEC + alliance, adheres to its market - stabilizing strategy. In November, it will only increase production by 137,000 barrels per day, and the actual incremental supply flowing into the market is more limited due to compensatory production cuts and capacity bottlenecks. The future policy of OPEC + will highly depend on whether the expected supply surplus in 2025 - 2026 will materialize. [6] - Non - OPEC +: US shale oil production is facing bottlenecks. Investment is restricted due to oil price uncertainty and rising costs, and production growth has significantly slowed down or even declined. Geopolitical events such as the Ukrainian attack on Russian refineries have continuously disrupted Russian refined oil exports, while the return of Iraqi Kirkuk crude oil has provided a new source of medium - sulfur crude oil. The US Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) repurchase plan will absorb more than 17 million barrels of crude oil from the market, further tightening the supply. [6] 3. Demand - Global demand shows resilience, but the internal structure is changing. US demand is an important support, with strong diesel consumption but weak gasoline demand. Emerging markets are showing differentiation. Indian demand has rebounded rapidly, while Chinese refineries have adjusted their procurement strategies. Jet fuel has become a new bright spot in global demand. However, the global refinery maintenance season has temporarily suppressed direct crude oil demand. [7] 4. Inventory - US commercial inventories have stabilized, and inventories in the Cushing area have also stabilized but are significantly lower than historical averages. European diesel inventories have rebounded, and gasoline inventories have decreased. Domestic refined oil profit margins have declined. [76][80][88] 5. Price and Spread - The global crude oil spot market has no obvious highlights. In the Middle East, Aramco's November OSP was not raised as expected. In the Americas, high - sulfur crude oil has strengthened, while low - sulfur crude oil is slightly weak. In the North Sea, there are differences in price trends. In the Mediterranean, there is still a bearish sentiment for low - sulfur crude oil. In West Africa, there is no obvious bullish sentiment. [92][94][95]

智通财经APP获悉，当地时间10月5日，OPEC+同意11月小幅增加原油产量，增产幅度为13.7万桶/日。此举缓解了交易员对超大规模增产的担忧，油价周一 开盘走高。截止发稿，布伦特原油涨0.93%，报65.13美元/桶;WTI原油涨0.94%，报61.45美元/桶。 然而，随着部分消费需求开始放缓，未来数月市场格局可能出现变化。国际能源署(IEA)就预测，随着OPEC+持续增产及其竞争对手供应攀升，2026年全球 石油供应将出现创纪录过剩。 消息人士透露，在此次会议召开前，OPEC+内部两大核心产油国——俄罗斯与沙特阿拉伯的立场存在分歧。两名消息人士表示，俄罗斯主张维持与10月持 平的小幅增产幅度，一来可避免对油价造成下行压力，二来受乌克兰冲突相关制裁影响，俄罗斯自身也难以大幅提高产量。而会议前另有消息人士指出，沙 特阿拉伯原本希望将增产量提升至这一数字的2倍、3倍甚至4倍，即分别为27.4万桶/日、41.1万桶/日或 54.8 万桶/日。沙特提出这一诉求的原因在于其拥有 闲置产能，且希望更快夺回市场份额。 今年以来，在经历多年产量限制后，OPEC+正通过逐步恢复闲置产能的策略重新争夺市场份额。尽管供应增加， ...

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content 2. Core View of the Report - The low crude oil inventory levels in the US and OECD countries, combined with OPEC+'s less - than - expected production increase, support oil prices. On the supply side, OPEC+ plans to increase production again in October, but the actual increase is lower than expected, and the progress of production increase is uncertain. On the demand side, US crude oil demand is better than in previous years, and domestic crude oil processing demand has increased significantly month - on - month. With the boost of travel consumption, crude oil demand is expected to be further stimulated. The recommended strategy is to hold long positions [4]. 3. Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Quarterly View and Strategy 3.1.1 Inventory - Due to rising demand, US crude oil and refined oil inventories decreased. Crude oil inventories decreased by 607,000 barrels to 414.8 million barrels, contrary to the market expectation of a 235,000 - barrel increase. Cushing's crude oil inventories increased by 177,000 barrels. US net crude oil imports increased by 1.6 million barrels per day, while exports decreased by 793,000 barrels per day to 4.48 million barrels per day. Gasoline inventories decreased by 1.1 million barrels to 216.6 million barrels, against the expected 150,000 - barrel increase. Distillate inventories, including diesel and heating oil, decreased by 1.7 million barrels to 123 million barrels, more than the expected 494,000 - barrel decrease [4][20]. 3.1.2 Supply - Last week, US crude oil production remained at 13.4 million barrels per day. OPEC+ decided to increase the oil production target again in October, starting to lift the second - layer production cut plan (with a cut of about 1.65 million barrels per day, 1.6% of global demand) more than a year earlier than planned. Previously, OPEC+ had agreed to increase the production target by about 2.2 million barrels per day from April to September. However, there are uncertainties on the supply side: OPEC+'s actual production increase is lower than expected; Russia's oil supply is tightened due to sanctions; US shale oil production has reached its ceiling [4][32][41]. 3.1.3 Demand - Refinery crude oil processing volume increased by 52,000 barrels per day, but the capacity utilization rate decreased by 0.3 percentage points to 93%. The total refined oil supply, as a demand indicator, increased by 156,000 barrels per day to 2.079 million barrels per day, 190,000 barrels per day higher than the four - week average of the same period last year. In China, the crude oil processing growth rate accelerated in August, with the industrial crude oil processing volume of 63.46 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 7.6%, and the daily processing volume of 2.047 million tons [4]. 3.1.4 Strategy - Hold long positions [4]. 3.2 Balance Sheet and Industrial Chain Structure 3.2.1 Global Supply - Demand Balance Sheet - The document provides detailed data on global oil production, consumption, inventory net withdrawals, and end - of - period commercial inventories from January 2024 to December 2025, including breakdowns by OPEC, non - OPEC, OECD, and non - OECD regions [6]. 3.2.2 Industrial Chain Structure - Illustrates the process from crude oil to various refined products such as ethylene, propylene, diesel, gasoline, etc., through different processing devices like atmospheric and vacuum distillation units, ethylene cracker, and catalytic cracker [9]. 3.3 Futures - Spot Market - Presents multiple charts related to the futures - spot market, including domestic - foreign price spreads, monthly spreads, INE crude oil futures - spot price spreads, BRENT crude oil term spreads, freight indices, and port freight rates [11][15][16]. 3.4 Inventory 3.4.1 US Inventory - US crude oil and refined oil inventories decreased due to rising demand. Charts show historical trends of US crude oil and refined oil inventories from 2019 - 2025 [18][20]. 3.4.2 China Inventory - China's inventory increment declined from June - August due to increased domestic crude oil processing demand. Charts show historical trends of China's crude oil inventory increment [22][25]. 3.4.3 Crude Oil Warehouse Receipts - INE crude oil warehouse receipts have recently remained at a low level, indicating a low inventory level of deliverable oil depots [28][29]. 3.5 Supply Side 3.5.1 OPEC Production - OPEC+ decided to increase production in October, starting to lift the second - layer production cut plan. In August, OPEC+ crude oil production averaged 42.4 million barrels per day, an increase of 509,000 barrels per day from July. OPEC's 12 - member countries' crude oil production increased by 478,000 barrels per day in August [32][33]. 3.5.2 US Production - Last week, US crude oil production remained at 13.4 million barrels per day. US shale oil production has reached its ceiling, and the growth space is limited due to reduced capital expenditure by oil companies. The number of US oil rigs, a leading indicator of future production, is decreasing [36]. 3.5.3 Global Production - There are uncertainties on the global supply side, including OPEC+'s lower - than - expected production increase, Russia's supply tightening due to sanctions, and the limited growth of US shale oil production [41]. 3.6 Demand Side 3.6.1 China Demand - In August, China's crude oil processing volume increased rapidly, with the industrial crude oil processing volume of 63.46 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 7.6%. China's travel demand is strong, which is expected to drive crude oil consumption. China's 8 - month crude oil imports and refined oil exports data are also provided [47][52][55]. 3.6.2 US Demand - US refinery crude oil processing volume increased by 52,000 barrels per day, but the capacity utilization rate decreased by 0.3 percentage points to 93%. The total refined oil supply increased by 156,000 barrels per day, higher than the same period last year. US demand is slightly better than last year seasonally [59][62].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the content. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Last week, oil prices initially strengthened due to market pricing of the Fed's interest - rate cut and geopolitical tensions, but then sharply corrected as the rate cut met expectations, the dollar index rebounded, and there were no more geopolitical positives. Brent's main contract fluctuated between $65 - 67 per barrel. The oil price is expected to maintain a weak and volatile pattern. Upside risks come from geopolitical risk escalation, and downside risks come from increased recession expectations [4]. - Unilateral trading: Expect a weak and volatile trend. Arbitrage: Domestic gasoline and diesel cracks are weak. Options: Hold a wait - and - see attitude [5]. 3. Summary According to the Directory 3.1 Chapter 1: Comprehensive Analysis and Trading Strategies 3.1.1 Comprehensive Analysis - At the beginning of last week, influenced by the expected Fed rate cut and geopolitical tensions, oil prices were strong. After the Fed cut rates by 25BP, the dollar index rebounded, and oil prices corrected significantly. By the weekend, Brent's main contract fell to around $66 per barrel [4]. - In terms of supply and demand, OPEC increased production in August and September. The end of the peak demand season in the Middle East, the weakening of the Dubai spread, and the high volume of crude oil shipments all indicate rising supply pressure. Crude oil satellite inventories increased in late September, and there may be an inventory build - up in Q3 and Q4. In the short term, overseas refined oil demand is stable, and refinery profits support crude oil procurement demand. There is still room for the overseas diesel crack spread to ferment at the end of the year [4]. 3.1.2 Trading Strategies - Unilateral trading: Weak and volatile [5]. - Arbitrage: Domestic gasoline and diesel cracks are weak [5]. - Options: Wait - and - see [5]. 3.2 Chapter 2: Core Logic Analysis 3.2.1 Macro - The Fed cut rates by 25BP, which did not exceed market expectations. Macro risk appetite cooled. The yields of short - and long - term US Treasuries rebounded, and the dollar index rebounded from 96.6 to around 97.6 [8][9]. - The Fed's dot - plot median shows that it expects to cut rates two more times this year, one more time than the June expectation [11]. 3.2.2 Supply - Russian oil exports decreased by 934,000 barrels per day in the week ending September 14, the largest decline since July last year. Ukrainian drone attacks on Russian ports and energy facilities affected oil exports [15]. - In the week of September 19, the number of active US oil rigs increased by 2 to 418. In the week of September 12, US crude oil production decreased by 13,000 barrels per day to 13.482 million barrels per day [18]. 3.2.3 Inventory - In 2024, the global crude oil inventory decreased by 71.09 million barrels year - on - year. In Q1, the full - scale inventory increased by 890,000 barrels per day, and in Q2, the global satellite inventory increased by 1.05 million barrels per day. As of September 17 in Q3, the satellite inventory showed an increase of 4,400 barrels per day [22]. 3.2.4 Balance - The IEA slightly raised the global oil demand growth forecast for 2025 to 740,000 barrels per day. It is expected that global oil supply will increase by 2.3 million barrels per day in 2025 and 2.1 million barrels per day in 2026. The balance sheet still points to a significant surplus in the long - term [25]. 3.2.5 Spot Market - The Middle East market weakened, with the Dubai swap first - to - third - line spread falling from over $3 per barrel to around $2.6 per barrel. The North Sea market stabilized, with DFL rebounding from less than $0.5 per barrel to around $0.65 per barrel, and EFS rebounding to around $0.45 per barrel [27][29]. 3.3 Chapter 3: Weekly Data Tracking - **Crude Oil Price and Spread**: Data on the prices and spreads of Brent, WTI, and Dubai are presented [33]. - **Crude Oil Spot**: Data on the spot prices and spreads of European, West African, Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, and North American crude oils are provided [36][40][45]. - **US Weekly Crude Oil Supply and Demand**: Data on US crude oil production, feedstock volume, imports, and exports are presented [48]. - **EIA Weekly Data**: Data on US refinery operations, gasoline, distillates, jet fuel production, inventory, and net imports are provided [51][55][58][61]. - **US Weekly Crude Oil Inventory**: Data on US commercial crude oil inventory, Cushing inventory, and strategic inventory are presented [64][66]. - **Crude Oil Floating Storage**: Data on global, Asian, European, and West African crude oil floating storage are provided [69][70][71][73]. - **European Refined Oil Inventory**: Data on ARA gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, naphtha, and fuel oil inventories are presented [80][82][84]. - **Singapore and Middle East Refined Oil Inventory**: Data on Fujeirah and Singapore's heavy, medium, and light refined oil inventories are presented [86]. - **Tanker Freight**: Data on the freight rates of heavy - oil tankers on different routes are presented [89]. - **Cracking and Profits**: In Northwest Europe, diesel cracking strengthened, and gasoline cracking strengthened slowly.

Group 1: Report Overview - Report Title: Crude Oil Daily [1] - Report Date: September 23, 2025 [2] - Research Team: Energy and Chemical Research Team [4] Group 2: Investment Rating - No investment rating provided in the report Group 3: Core View - The increase in US crude oil exports has led to a significant reduction in crude oil inventories, but the weekly export volume fluctuates greatly. Refinery crude oil input has started to decline, and refineries will enter the maintenance season, resulting in a phased decline in demand. Distillate inventories have been increasing since July, and diesel consumption is weak. EIA and IEA have raised global crude oil supply expectations, and oil prices will continue to be under pressure in the medium term. Adopt a short - selling strategy and short on rallies [6] Group 4: Market Review and Operation Suggestions Market Review | Futures | Opening Price ($/barrel) | Closing Price ($/barrel) | High Price ($/barrel) | Low Price ($/barrel) | Change (%) | Trading Volume (10,000 lots) | | ---- | ---- | ---- | ---- | ---- | ---- | ---- | | WTI | 63.28 | 62.36 | 63.35 | 62.2 | -1.42 | 24.97 | | Brent | 66.94 | 66.05 | 67.05 | 65.85 | -1.3 | 32.86 | | SC (Yuan/barrel) | 485.2 | 483 | 487.4 | 481.8 | -1.67 | 9.61 | [6] Operation Suggestions - Oil prices are under medium - term pressure.

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core View of the Report The current crude oil market has a slight edge for bearish factors. Concerns about oversupply and weak signs on the demand side are the main pressures suppressing oil prices. Although oil prices once broke through the previous low - level oscillation range supported by geopolitical factors and the volatility increased, there was a lack of follow - up momentum after the positive factors were realized. The development of geopolitical situations in Russia - Ukraine and the Middle East needs to be monitored. For fuel oil and low - sulfur fuel oil, high - sulfur fuel oil supply tightened due to reduced shipments from major exporters, and its demand and inventory showed mixed trends; low - sulfur fuel oil supply tended to be loose due to increased exports from Nigeria [3][4][8]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Supply Side - OPEC + continues the production increase plan. In October, OPEC + will increase production by 13.7 million barrels per day. Since the first quarter of 2025, the actual crude oil production increase of OPEC + has been about 1.5 million barrels per day, significantly lower than the announced target of 2.5 million barrels per day. Saudi Arabia lowered its official selling price to Asian customers and asked buyers to increase提货量, and its production in August increased by 258,000 barrels per day to 9.71 million barrels per day. The attack on Russian energy facilities and new sanctions may bring short - term supply risk premiums [3][11]. - U.S. crude oil production remains at a high level [22]. Demand Side - The Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 25 basis points, but this has been fully anticipated by the market. It is more of a preventive measure against potential economic risks, and it is difficult to quickly boost demand. After the interest rate cut, the U.S. dollar index rose instead of falling, weakening the attractiveness of dollar - denominated crude oil. The performance during the distillate oil stocking peak season was poor, leading to an inverse - seasonal increase in inventory. The operating rate of U.S. refineries decreased by 3.6 percentage points to 93.3% from the annual high, indicating the gradual start of traditional autumn inspections [4]. - For high - sulfur fuel oil, the power generation demand from the Middle East will seasonally decline, Saudi Arabia's imports will decrease, but Egypt's procurement will increase. In the industrial field, fuel oil demand is challenged by the extension of natural gas pipeline networks and the acceleration of power substitution, and there are concerns about the long - term demand outlook [7]. Inventory - As of September 12, EIA data showed that U.S. commercial crude oil inventories decreased by 9.285 million barrels, and Cushing inventories decreased by 296,000 barrels. Gasoline inventories decreased by 2.347 million barrels, contrary to the expected increase of 100,000 barrels, and distillate oil inventories increased by 4.046 million barrels, exceeding the expected increase of 1 million barrels [4][44]. - In the week of September 15, the total inventory of Fujeirah petroleum products plummeted by 18%, decreasing by 2.935 million barrels to 13.089 million barrels, hitting a record low. In the week of September 17, Singapore's fuel oil inventory decreased by 1.118 million barrels to 25.41 million barrels, reaching a three - week low. In the week of September 11, ARA region's fuel oil inventory decreased by 3.5% to 1.04 million tons [7]. Global Crude Oil Balance Sheet - There has been unexpected inventory accumulation for two consecutive years, with a cumulative surplus of over 2.6 billion barrels of crude oil. From 2025 - 2026, non - OPEC production will increase from 67.5 to 70.3 million barrels per day (+4.1%), while OPEC production will only slightly increase by 0.7 million barrels per day. U.S. shale oil and Brazilian deep - sea oil are the main sources of incremental production. OECD demand has stagnated, and non - OECD demand has fluctuated sharply [59][63].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Short - term crude oil prices are expected to remain in a high - level oscillatory pattern, with Brent and WTI hovering in the range of $68 - 69 per barrel, and SC being relatively stronger due to warehouse receipt support [5]. - Supply tightening supports oil prices as Russian exports are blocked, US production declines, and OPEC+ continues to cut production, offsetting some demand concerns [5]. - There are differences in demand resilience. Strong US gasoline consumption offsets the weakness of distillates, but the weakening of Asian import demand limits the upside space [5]. - Macro - level pressure has not been lifted. Market sentiment is cautious ahead of the Fed's interest - rate decision, and the expectation of strategic petroleum reserve release and the risk of economic recession still put pressure on long - term prices [5]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Daily Market Summary 3.1.1 Crude Oil Futures Market Data Change Analysis - On September 17, 2025, the domestic SC crude oil main contract rose slightly by 1.07% to 499.3 yuan per barrel, while WTI and Brent prices remained stable. The SC - Brent and SC - WTI spreads strengthened by $0.92 per barrel to $1.78 and $5.72 per barrel respectively, and the Brent - WTI spread remained stable at $3.94 per barrel [2]. - SC warehouse receipt inventory decreased significantly by 320,000 barrels to 5.401 million barrels, and fuel oil warehouse receipts increased by 25,600 tons [3]. 3.1.2 Analysis of Industrial Chain Supply - Demand and Inventory Changes - Supply side: Russian crude oil exports decreased due to drone attacks on Baltic ports by Ukraine. US shale oil production contracted marginally, and EIA data showed a week - on - week decline of 394,000 barrels per day in the week's put - into - production crude oil volume, along with a 3.111 million - barrel decrease in imports, leading to an unexpected drawdown of 9.285 million barrels in US commercial crude oil inventories. Personnel adjustments at Venezuela's state - owned oil company may bring uncertainty to its crude oil export stability [4]. - Demand side: The US refinery utilization rate dropped to 93.3% (expected 94.5%), but the derived data of crude oil demand significantly rebounded to 20.5 million barrels per day.
