1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided 2. Core View of the Report - This week, crude oil prices fluctuated. The monthly spreads of the three major crude oil markets declined, and the absolute prices dropped on Friday. The market is mainly concerned about the progress of trade negotiations between the US and other countries, as well as the US sanctions on Russia. Fundamentally, global oil inventories decreased slightly. The US EIA commercial inventory decreased, while diesel inventories in ARA and Singapore continued to decline, and diesel inventories in the US and China increased. The cracking spread of European diesel strengthened slightly, and global refinery profits declined slightly but remained high year - on - year. In China, refinery operations were volatile, with Shandong local refineries increasing production. Recently, gasoline and diesel inventories at refineries increased significantly, and refinery profits weakened month - on - month, leaving limited room to boost operations further. The current peak season for crude oil demand, high diesel profits, and the US plan to impose secondary sanctions on Russia support the near - term supply and demand of crude oil. However, the peak - season factors have been largely realized, and the monthly spreads have started to decline recently. In the medium term, the absolute prices of crude oil face downward pressure due to OPEC's accelerated production increase and the impact of US tariff policies on the global economy. Attention should be paid to the contradiction between non - OPEC production and the near - term diesel inventory [6]. 3.

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. 2. Core Viewpoints - This week, crude oil prices fluctuated within a narrow range, the monthly spreads of the three major crude oil markets declined slightly, and global oil inventories increased slightly. Policy-wise, the EU passed the 18th round of sanctions against Russia, lowering the price cap on Russian oil. Iran may conduct nuclear negotiations with major European powers next week, and whether to restart nuclear negotiations with the US depends on the US attitude. On the supply side, the Kurdish oil fields were attacked, and about 200,000 barrels per day of production is at risk of interruption. Fundamentally, global oil inventories increased slightly, while US commercial crude oil inventories decreased. Diesel inventories at major global trading hubs continued to decline, reaching historical lows, and the cracking spread of European diesel led the profit growth on the product side. After Independence Day, the apparent demand for gasoline in the US dropped significantly, and the global gasoline cracking spread has been fluctuating recently. This week, global refinery profits strengthened on a week-on-week basis, and the product side remained relatively strong. In China, refinery operations fluctuated. After the increase in operations in June, gasoline and diesel inventories at refineries increased significantly, and refinery profits weakened on a week-on-week basis, leaving limited room for further boosting operations. During the peak season of actual crude oil demand, the escalation of sanctions against Russia and the marginal tightening of Iranian crude oil supply support the crude oil inter - month structure. However, the peak - season factors have been largely realized, and the monthly spreads have been in a fluctuating pattern recently. In the medium term, the absolute price of crude oil faces downward pressure due to OPEC's accelerated production increase and the impact of US tariff policies on the global economy. Attention should be paid to the contradiction between non - OPEC production and the near - term diesel inventory [6]. 3. Summary by Section 3.1 Daily News - The API crude oil inventory in the US for the week ending July 18 was - 577,000 barrels, with an expected - 646,000 barrels and a previous value of 839,000 barrels [3]. - The US Treasury Secretary said that the next round of China - US talks may discuss China's purchase of Russian and Iranian oil.

The Iranian Foreign Ministry criticized European countries for using the "rapid restoration of sanctions" mechanism as a tool to threaten Iran [3]. 3.2 Regional Fundamentals - This week, the operating rate of major refineries in China decreased by 0.26%, while the operating rate of Shandong local refineries increased slightly by 1.17%. In China, refinery output showed a decline in gasoline and an increase in diesel, with gasoline inventories rising and diesel inventories falling. The comprehensive profits of major refineries and local refineries both declined on a week - on - week basis [5]. 3.3 Weekly Viewpoints - Crude oil prices fluctuated within a narrow range this week, with the monthly spreads of the three major crude oil markets declining slightly and global oil inventories increasing slightly [6]. - Policy: The EU passed the 18th round of sanctions against Russia, lowering the price cap on Russian oil. Iran may conduct nuclear negotiations with major European powers next week, and the decision to restart nuclear negotiations with the US depends on the US attitude [6]. - Supply: The Kurdish oil fields were attacked, and about 200,000 barrels per day of production is at risk of interruption [6]. - Fundamentals: Global oil inventories increased slightly, while US commercial crude oil inventories decreased.

However, the peak - season factors have been largely realized, and the monthly spreads have been in a fluctuating pattern recently. In the medium term, the absolute price of crude oil faces downward pressure due to OPEC's accelerated production increase and the impact of US tariff policies on the global economy. Attention should be paid to the contradiction between non - OPEC production and the near - term diesel inventory [6]. 3.4 EIA Report - For the week ending July 11, US crude oil exports increased by 761,000 barrels per day to 3.518 million barrels per day [18]. - US domestic crude oil production decreased by 10,000 barrels to 13.375 million barrels per day [18]. - Commercial crude oil inventories excluding strategic reserves decreased by 3.859 million barrels to 422 million barrels, a decrease of 0.91% [18]. - The four - week average supply of US crude oil products was 20.262 million barrels per day, a decrease of 1.1% compared to the same period last year [18]. - The US Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) inventory decreased by 300,000 barrels to 402.7 million barrels, a decrease of 0.07% [18]. - US imports of commercial crude oil excluding strategic reserves were 6.379 million barrels per day, an increase of 366,000 barrels per day compared to the previous week [18].

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - This week, crude oil prices fluctuated, and the month - spreads of the three major crude oil markets oscillated at a high level. The US plans to impose new tariffs on over 20 countries from August 1st, and other trading partners may face 15% - 20% tariffs. OPEC+ is discussing a suspension of production increases from October, and OPEC will complete a 2.2 - billion - barrel supply restoration in September [3]. - Globally, oil product inventories increased this week. In the US, crude oil inventories rose significantly during the week of July 4th, Cushing inventories increased, and gasoline and diesel inventories decreased. The number of US oil rigs decreased by 1 during the week of July 11th, while the fracturing number rebounded [3]. - This week, refining margins in Europe and the US strengthened. The near - month spread of European diesel soared, highlighting supply - demand contradictions. The fundamentals of gasoline and diesel in Asia and China were neutral, with accelerated inventory accumulation of gasoline and diesel in China and a reversal of refining margins [3]. - During the peak season of refinery operations, the month - spreads of crude oil are expected to remain high. WTI and Brent are stronger than the Dubai market. The absolute price of crude oil faces downward pressure in the medium - term due to OPEC's accelerated production increase and tariff policies. OPEC+'s suspension of production increases in the fourth quarter will not change the overall situation. Attention should be paid to non - OPEC production and the slope of post - peak - season demand changes [3]. Group 3: Summary by Relevant Catalogs 1. Daily News - Trump is pressuring Russia to stop the war and may impose "secondary tariffs" on countries that purchase Russian oil. He also plans to supply Ukraine with more weapons. If no agreement is reached within 50 days, the US will impose a 100% secondary tariff on Russia [3]. - Analysts believe that Trump's subsequent statement on Russia may not have a significant impact on crude oil. Previous sanctions had little impact on oil flows, and supplying weapons through NATO is unlikely to have a significant impact on oil supply [3]. - Trump's tariff policy is unlikely to affect US imports of gasoline and diesel. Energy products such as gasoline, diesel, and aviation fuel are expected to be exempted, and the new tariffs on Canada and Mexico will not cover goods under the US - Mexico - Canada Agreement, including energy [3]. 2. Regional Fundamentals - In the US during the week of July 4th, crude oil exports increased by 452,000 barrels per day to 2.757 million barrels per day, domestic crude oil production decreased by 48,000 barrels to 13.385 million barrels per day, commercial crude oil inventories (excluding strategic reserves) increased by 7.07 million barrels to 426 million barrels (a 1.69% increase), and strategic petroleum reserve (SPR) inventories increased by 238,000 barrels to 403 million barrels (a 0.06% increase) [3]. - The four - week average supply of US crude oil products was 20.564 million barrels per day, a 1.61% decrease compared to the same period last year.

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - This week, oil prices rose significantly, reaching a multi - year single - day maximum increase on Friday with an enlarged intraday amplitude. The geopolitical risk soared due to the Israel - Iran conflict, and the risk of oil price increase remains high. The fundamental support for oil prices is weaker than during the 2022 Russia - Ukraine conflict, and it is expected that the absolute price will fluctuate significantly in the next two weeks [6]. Group 3: Summary by Related Catalogs 1. Oil Price Data - From June 10 - 16, 2025, WTI decreased by 1.21, BRENT decreased by 1.00, and DUBAI decreased by 0.59. SC increased by 11.70, and OMAN increased by 0.03. Other related products also showed corresponding price changes [3]. 2. Daily News - Germany, France, and the UK are ready to talk with Iran about its nuclear program. Yemen's Houthi rebels attacked Israel. Trump warned Iran and said the US could facilitate an Iran - Israel agreement. Iran will no longer notify the IAEA in advance about its nuclear activities. Israel's actions against Iran are expected to last for weeks with US acquiescence, and US military intervention may lead to a qualitative change in the Middle - East situation [4]. 3. Regional Fundamentals - In the week ending June 6, US commercial crude inventories decreased by 3644000 barrels, Cushing inventories decreased by 40300 barrels, and the SPR increased by 23700 barrels. US domestic crude production increased by 20000 barrels per day. The number of oil rigs decreased by 3 to 439, and the number of fracturing wells decreased by 4 to 182. US EIA gasoline inventories increased by 1504000 barrels. In China, the main refinery operating rate rose, the Shandong local refinery operating rate fell, and both gasoline and diesel production increased. Refinery profits showed a rebound and recovery trend [4][5]. 4. Weekly Viewpoints - The geopolitical conflict between Israel and Iran has led to a significant increase in oil prices. The risk of oil price increase remains high due to the lack of an end - condition for Israel's attacks and Iran's counter - attacks. The fundamental support for oil prices is weak, but there are also some positive factors such as the start of domestic refinery operations and the expectation of reserve replenishment. It is expected that the absolute price will fluctuate significantly in the next two weeks [6].

Report Summary 1. Industry Investment Rating - No investment rating information is provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints - This week, oil prices have shown a strong performance, with the fundamental situation tightening on a sequential basis. Geopolitical risks have escalated, leading to increased fluctuations in crude oil spreads and stronger absolute prices. WTI has outperformed Brent and Dubai. Fundamentally, global oil inventories have increased, while US commercial inventories have decreased more than expected, and the number of US oil rigs has significantly declined. On the negative side, leading data on the US job market shows signs of cooling, and the latest apparent demand for US gasoline and diesel has dropped significantly. Attention should be paid to the sustainability of terminal product demand. This week, refining margins in Europe and the US have declined on a sequential basis, while those in Asia have remained high. Saudi Arabia and other countries have lowered their official selling prices to Asia in July to multi - year lows, and there are market rumors that Saudi Arabia intends to push OPEC+ to continue increasing production by at least 411,000 barrels per day in August and September to consolidate market share. Recently, the valuation repair of Brent and WTI crude oil has been realized, and the focus has shifted to whether geopolitical risks (such as the US - Iran and Israel - Palestine situations) will substantially escalate. High - altitude opportunities for absolute prices can be monitored [6]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Daily News - Middle East tensions have sharply escalated, with the US partially evacuating its personnel.

EU officials suggest reducing it to $50 per barrel [1] - Trump's tax - cut bill, worth trillions of dollars, got approval from a key House committee, but faced obstacles earlier due to demands from conservative Republicans [1] Group 2: Investment Logic - Global refinery profits have significantly recovered recently, with gasoline and fuel oil crack spreads rebounding and diesel crack spreads also rising. Reasons include supply disruptions at refineries, strong demand in Africa and Latin America, reduced exports from some major countries, and refinery closures in the US and Europe. In the short - term, crack spreads will remain firm [2] Group 3: Strategy - The short - term outlook for oil prices is neutral, and a medium - term short position is recommended [3]

European powers may start the "snap - back sanctions" in August if no substantial agreement is reached [4] Group 4: Regional Fundamentals US EIA Data for the Week Ending May 2 - US crude oil exports decreased by 115,000 barrels per day to 4.006 million barrels per day [6] - US domestic crude oil production decreased by 98,000 barrels to 13.367 million barrels per day [6] - Commercial crude oil inventory (excluding strategic reserves) decreased by 2.032 million barrels to 438 million barrels, a 0.46% decline [6] - US strategic petroleum reserve (SPR) inventory increased by 580,000 barrels to 399.1 million barrels, a 0.15% increase [6] - US EIA gasoline inventory was 188,000 barrels, against an expected - 1.6 million barrels and a previous value of - 4.003 million barrels [6] - US EIA refined oil inventory was - 1.107 million barrels, against an expected - 1.271 million barrels and a previous value of 937,000 barrels [6] China's Market Situation - This week, the operating rates of major refineries and Shandong local refineries declined. China's gasoline and diesel production decreased, with both major and local refineries seeing drops in production and sales rates, and none achieving production - sales balance. Gasoline and diesel inventories decreased by over 4%. Major refineries' and local refineries' comprehensive profits rebounded [7] Group 5: Weekly View - After the holiday, oil prices rebounded slightly. With the Anglo - American trade agreement reached, the pessimistic expectations caused by previous tariffs eased, but the China - US tariff negotiation remains unclear. Geopolitically, the fourth round of Iran - US nuclear talks started in Oman [7] - Fundamentally, global oil products seasonally accumulate inventory. US commercial crude oil inventory is lower than in previous years. After the oil price decline, the number of US shale oil drilling rigs decreased rapidly, and the BW spread narrowed recently. Global refinery profits are recovering, but refineries are still in the maintenance period. US refinery operating rates recovered first, and US gasoline and diesel inventories are still low. With refining capacity elimination restricting supply, gasoline and diesel cracking has support, and it is expected to maintain a situation of stronger gasoline than diesel in the near term [7] - In China, refinery operating rates decreased slightly, gasoline and diesel inventories decreased significantly, and refinery profits recovered. In the short term, the rebound in refinery profits, the expected increase in refinery operating rates, the marginal improvement in macro - sentiment, and the decline in US production leading indicators support prices. Attention should be paid to whether the Iran - US talks achieve unexpected progress. In the long - term, crude oil remains in a bearish pattern due to OPEC's supply policy and supply - demand surplus [7]
