1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The supply pressure of asphalt may remain flat next week as refineries have recently reduced production to ease supply pressure. The overall demand is lower than the historical average due to the off - season, and the inventory is continuously decreasing. With the strengthening of crude oil, the cost support will strengthen in the short term. It is expected that the asphalt futures price will fluctuate narrowly in the range of 3400 - 3464 for the 2507 contract [8]. - The positive factor is that the relatively high - level crude oil cost provides some support, while the negative factors are the insufficient demand for high - priced goods, the overall downward demand, and the increasing expectation of economic recession in Europe and the United States. The main logic is that the supply pressure remains high, and the demand recovery is weak [11][12][13]. 3.
