Report Summary 1. Industry Investment Rating No investment rating for the industry is provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoint The crude oil market faces many uncertainties. With short - term inventory pressure being relatively low, factors such as ongoing US - China tariff issues, progressing US - Iran negotiations, and the OPEC+ production policy meeting on May 5th will affect the market. Short - term trading is recommended [2][37]. 3. Summary by Directory Chapter 1: Market Review - SC2506 had a slight rebound. It opened at 489, reached a high of 506, a low of 482, and closed at 496, with a weekly increase of 5.4 or 1.10% [3]. Chapter 2: Price Influence Factor Analysis - **OPEC**: In March, OPEC's overall daily crude oil production was 26.78 million barrels, a decrease of 78,000 barrels per day from February. Iraq, UAE production decreased, while Iran and Kazakhstan production increased. OPEC+ agreed to increase oil supply by 411,000 barrels per day in May, three times the original plan, and will gradually cancel the 2.2 million - barrel - per - day production cut by 2026. However, six countries need to cut production by 378,000 barrels per day in May according to the compensation plan. There are disputes among members regarding production quota compliance, and OPEC+ plans to accelerate production increase, which adds pressure to crude oil supply [5][6][8]. - **Russia**: In 2024, Russia's GDP grew by 3.9%, and its crude oil production was 516 million tons (about 9.9 million barrels per day). In March 2025, production decreased to 8.963 million barrels per day. Russia's 2025 - 2028 oil and gas export revenue forecasts have changed compared to previous expectations. There are talks about a Russia - Ukraine cease - fire agreement, but Russia has doubts about some details [10][11]. - **US**: As of the week ending April 18, US daily crude oil production was 13.46 million barrels, a decrease of 2,000 barrels from the previous week and an increase of 360,000 barrels from the same period last year. The four - week average daily production was 13.49 million barrels, 3% higher than the same period last year. EIA predicts that US crude oil production will peak at 14 million barrels per day in 2027 and then decline. Global oil demand growth forecasts for 2025 and 2026 have been lowered [12][13]. - **Americas**: OPEC and IEA have both lowered their forecasts for non - OPEC and non - OPEC+ oil supply growth in 2025 and 2026 [20]. - **Inventory**: In December 2024, OECD oil and crude product inventories decreased by 51.35 million barrels from the previous month. As of the week ending April 18, 2025, US commercial crude oil inventory decreased by 4.565 million barrels according to API data, while EIA data showed an increase of 244,000 barrels. Product inventories decreased, indicating a recovery in demand [21]. - **Consumption**: OPEC, IEA, and EIA have all lowered their global oil demand growth forecasts for 2025 and 2026. Refinery processing fees are low, and refinery operating rates are at a low level [25][27][29]. - **Geopolitics**: The US has imposed new sanctions on Iran and threatened bombing. Iran's crude oil production and exports are affected. The US and Iran held the third - round indirect negotiations in Muscat, Oman, and Iran is cautiously optimistic about the nuclear - issue negotiations [34][36]. Chapter 3: Market Outlook and Investment Strategy The short - term inventory pressure of crude oil is not significant, but the market still faces many uncertainties.
