Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - In October, the marginal weakening of asphalt supply and demand and raw material risks jointly affected prices. In the first half of October, the sharp decline in oil prices under macro - risks significantly affected the cost of asphalt negatively. The demand weakened month - on - month at the end of the peak season, while supply remained high, increasing the inventory pressure in the industry chain and pressuring the spot price. In the second half of October, oil prices were strong, and the news of potential US actions against Venezuela affected asphalt costs, but the supply - demand situation continued to weaken in the fourth quarter, and the spot price stopped falling but lacked continuous upward momentum. In the future, oil prices will fluctuate, and there is no further positive support for the cost side in the short term. The supply - demand situation will gradually weaken quarter - on - quarter in the fourth quarter, and the spot price lacks continuous upward momentum. The supply side will remain high due to previous high profits, and the inventory pressure in the industry chain is expected to materialize in November. The short - term spot price will be weak, and the futures price is expected to fluctuate weakly [4][5][40] Group 3: Summary of Each Section 1.

Report Overview - Report Title: Crude Oil and Refined Oil Morning Report - Report Date: October 30, 2025 - Research Team: Energy and Chemicals Team of the Research Center 1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - This week, oil prices rebounded significantly, with Brent crude closing above $65. The US imposed sanctions on major Russian oil producers, and India's Reliance Group will stop importing Russian oil under long - term agreements, which may lead to a near - zero supply of Russian oil to India in the short term. The reduction in Russian crude exports still needs to be evaluated, but Indian purchases have supported the Dubai market in the short term [6]. - Geopolitical concerns were triggered by the US's controversial military strike on Venezuelan transportation. Fundamentally, as of October 17, EIA crude oil inventories decreased by 961,000 barrels, US refinery operations rebounded, and the US Energy Department announced a tender to buy 1 million barrels of crude oil for the strategic reserve. Gasoline and diesel inventories decreased, showing a warming in fundamentals [6]. - Due to concerns about India's diesel exports, the crack spreads of European and American diesel strengthened, but the inventory of Singapore diesel increased by more than 5 million barrels, reaching a 243 - week high, suppressing the global diesel crack spread. In the short term, oil prices may rebound and fluctuate more, and in the medium term, the upside space of oil prices is limited due to Kuwait's statement that OPEC is ready to increase production. The oversupply situation in the fourth quarter continues, and caution is advised when chasing high prices [6]. 3.

Summary of Key Points from the Conference Call Industry Overview - The conference call primarily discusses the **global oil market** and its dynamics, particularly focusing on the impact of geopolitical events and economic factors on oil prices and supply chains [1][2][3]. Core Insights and Arguments 1. **Oil Price Fluctuations**: - In October, international oil prices experienced significant volatility, with Brent crude oil dropping to a six-month low of **$61.01** before rebounding. The expected price range for Q4 is between **$60 and $70**, with an average of approximately **$65** [1][10]. 2. **Impact of Sanctions on Russia**: - New sanctions targeting major Russian oil producers, **Rosneft** and **Lukoil**, are expected to reduce Russian oil exports by at least **1 million barrels per day**. These companies account for about **50%** of Russia's oil exports [5][6][8]. - The sanctions will significantly impact global supply chains, particularly affecting imports from Russia to China and India, which are expected to decrease by a combined **1 million barrels per day** [7][8]. 3. **OPEC's Role**: - OPEC has at least **3 million barrels per day** of spare capacity and may consider a slight increase in production by **137,000 barrels per day** in December to stabilize the market. However, a significant increase is not in their interest [1][12][20]. 4. **Global Oil Inventory Levels**: - Global commercial oil inventories are currently low, with U.S. inventories significantly below the five-year average, providing a support level for oil prices. The total inventory, excluding China, is about **1.9 billion barrels**, which is **15 million barrels** lower than the previous year [13][10]. 5. **Seasonal Demand Variations**: - Global energy demand exhibits seasonal fluctuations, with a notable decline expected after the peak demand periods in September and October. This seasonal change is anticipated to lead to a decrease in demand by approximately **500,000 barrels per day** in Q4 [14]. 6. **Macroeconomic Factors**: - Positive macroeconomic signals include a potential easing of U.S.-China tensions, which could stabilize market expectations. The IMF projects a global economic growth rate of **3.0%** for 2025 and **3.1%** for 2026, indicating a stable economic environment for oil markets [15][17]. 7. **Future Oil Price Predictions**: - For 2026, the average price of Brent crude is expected to remain between **$60 and $70**, with a baseline scenario of **$65**.

Other Important Insights - **China's Chemical Industry**: The chemical sector in China is expected to hit a low point around **2027-2028**, with gradual recovery thereafter. Ethylene production capacity is projected to increase from **65 million tons** to **90 million tons** by 2030 [28]. - **Shipping Market Changes**: Post-sanction, the global oil shipping market has adapted, with longer shipping routes being utilized and a decrease in compliant vessels, which supports the demand for oil transportation [31]. This summary encapsulates the critical insights and projections regarding the oil market, highlighting the interplay between geopolitical events, economic conditions, and industry dynamics.

Core Viewpoint - The recent decline in the slurry oil market is attributed to weak supply and demand dynamics, leading to downward pressure on prices [1] Price Trends - Low-sulfur slurry oil in Shandong is priced at 4070 yuan/ton, down 30 yuan/ton from the previous Tuesday - Medium-sulfur slurry oil is priced at 3890 yuan/ton, down 55 yuan/ton from the previous Tuesday [1] Market Influences - International oil prices have fluctuated, initially rising and then falling, which has weakened cost support for slurry oil - The supply of slurry oil remains ample, with downstream coking units primarily purchasing based on essential needs, indicating weak demand [1] Future Outlook - According to Zhaochuang Information, Saudi Arabia may continue to increase production, further suppressing oil prices and reducing cost support - Downstream diesel prices are also expected to decline, making it unlikely for slurry oil demand to improve significantly, leading to a continued weak price trend [1]

Core Points - The oil price is set to decrease again tonight, marking the fourth consecutive drop this year, with an estimated savings of 12 yuan for a full 50-liter tank, equivalent to the cost of a cup of milk tea [2] - Despite the drop in domestic oil prices, international oil prices have started to rebound, indicating that this may be the last opportunity for consumers to benefit from lower prices this year [2][4] - The average price of 92-octane gasoline in China is currently 7.06 yuan per liter, with significant regional price disparities, such as 8.17 yuan in Hainan and 6.96 yuan in Ningxia, leading to a 60 yuan difference for a full tank [2][4] Price Fluctuations - The recent price adjustment is influenced by volatile international oil prices, with WTI crude oil dropping to a five-month low of 57.52 USD per barrel before rebounding to 61.79 USD, resulting in a reduction of the price drop from 345 yuan per ton to 290 yuan per ton [4] - The cumulative decrease from the four consecutive drops amounts to 0.52 yuan per liter, allowing consumers to save 26 yuan for a full tank compared to two months ago [4] - There are indications that the next price adjustment could see an increase of 200 yuan per ton, suggesting that oil companies may aim to recover losses in November [4][6] Market Dynamics - The fluctuations in oil prices are attributed to international factors such as Saudi production cuts, U.S. strategic reserves, and the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, which ultimately affect consumer fuel costs [6] - Consumers are encouraged to take advantage of the current lower prices, but there is a sense of caution regarding potential future price increases, leading to speculation about whether the current price drop is a genuine benefit or a precursor to higher prices [6]

据国家发展改革委价格监测中心监测，本轮成品油调价周期内（10月13日至10月24日）国际油价大幅波动，呈先降后升走势。 调价周期内，国际油价平均水平较上一轮调价周期大幅下降。期初，受以色列和巴勒斯坦达成停火协议、胡塞武装与美国达成红 海休战协议影响，中东地缘政治紧张局势趋缓，油市风险溢价有所削减。与此同时，全球经贸环境不确定性上升，加之"欧佩克 +"持续增产，使得国际油价进一步走低。以伦敦布伦特原油期货价格为例，最低降至每桶61美元左右，为近半年来低位。后期， 美国加大对俄罗斯两大石油公司制裁，市场认为这将影响印度从俄罗斯原油进口。同时，俄乌冲突持续，美俄原定将举行的峰会 推迟。受此影响，国际油价快速回升，目前伦敦布伦特油价在每桶65美元左右波动。 国家发展改革委价格监测中心供图 上证报中国证券网讯（记者 于祥明）成品油价年内第九次下调。记者10月27日从国家发展改革委获悉，按照现行成品油价格机 制，自10月27日24时起，国内汽、柴油价格每吨分别降低265元和255元。此次调价后，油箱容量为50升的家用轿车加满一箱92号 汽油可节省10.5元。至此，今年国内油价已经历21轮调整，分别为"6涨9降6搁浅"。 ...
