Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - In 2025, the main factors influencing the crude oil market are OPEC+ production policies, US tariff policies, and global crude oil demand. OPEC+ is in an expansion cycle, and with the global energy transition, there is a growing supply surplus, leading to limited upward momentum for oil prices and potential for a lower price center. Geopolitical factors such as the Russia-Ukraine conflict, US-Iran nuclear talks, and US policies towards Venezuela increase price volatility but do not change the overall supply surplus situation. In June - July, which is the consumption peak season, oil prices may find some support and are expected to trade in a range with a gradually declining center. Recommended strategies include shorting on rallies, selling call options, or using bull spread options. The recommended trading ranges are WTI [55, 65] and SC [420, 500] [6][108]. Summary by Directory 1. Market Review and Outlook - **Market Outlook**: In 2025, the crude oil market is mainly affected by OPEC+ production policies, US tariff policies, and global demand. OPEC+ is expanding production, and combined with the global energy transition, there is a supply surplus. Geopolitical factors increase price volatility but do not change the supply - surplus trend. In June - July, oil prices may be supported by peak - season consumption and are expected to trade in a range with a declining center [6][108]. - **Macro - economic Situation**: On May 7, the People's Bank of China cut the reserve requirement ratio by 0.5 percentage points, injecting about 1 trillion in long - term liquidity. As of May, the probability of the Fed keeping interest rates unchanged in June is 97.8%, and the probability of a 25 - basis - point cut is 2.2%. By July, the probability of unchanged rates is 76.6%, with a 22.9% chance of a 25 - basis - point cut and a 0.5% chance of a 50 - basis - point cut. The IMF has lowered the global economic growth forecast for 2025 from 3.3% to 2.8%, and the expected growth rate for 2026 is 3% [6][27]. - **Supply and Demand, and Inventory**: - **Supply**: OPEC+ did not adjust production policies at the Wednesday meeting but proposed a mechanism for setting 2027 production benchmarks.
