Group 1: Report Investment Rating - There is no information about the industry investment rating in the provided content, so this part is skipped. Group 2: Core Viewpoints - The oil price is oscillating, and there are limited short - term market contradictions in the fuel oil market [1]. - The main contract of the Shanghai Futures Exchange fuel oil futures closed up 0.6% at 2,835 yuan/ton, and the main contract of INE low - sulfur fuel oil futures closed up 0.31% at 3,550 yuan/ton [2]. - After continuous corrections, the crude oil price has stabilized and is currently in an oscillating state, with limited short - term directional guidance for FU and LU prices, while the medium - term expectation of a looser balance sheet potentially suppresses the energy sector [2]. - In the high - sulfur fuel oil market, the market structure continues to adjust, with crack spreads and monthly spreads oscillating weakly. The spot supply is relatively abundant, and the demand side lacks growth momentum. Although the power generation demand is boosted by the peak season, it lacks drivers beyond seasonality. In the short term, there is limited driving force, but considering the long - term trends, there is still structural support. If the crack spreads are fully adjusted and attract a significant increase in refinery demand, there may be an opportunity for the market structure to strengthen again [2]. - For low - sulfur fuel oil, the current market pressure is limited. However, as the overseas diesel shortage eases, the support for the low - sulfur fuel oil market may weaken, and the supply of components is expected to increase. In the medium term, due to the relatively abundant remaining production capacity, once the crack profit is appropriate, supply will be released. Moreover, the carbon - neutral trend in the shipping industry will gradually replace the market share of low - sulfur fuel oil, and the market outlook is not optimistic [2]. Group 3: Strategy Summary - High - sulfur fuel oil: The outlook is oscillating [3]. - Low - sulfur fuel oil: The outlook is oscillating [3]. - Cross - variety: Positions in shorting the FU crack spread (FU - Brent or FU - SC) established earlier can be appropriately stopped for profit [3]. - Cross - period: FU reverse spread positions established earlier can be gradually stopped for profit [3]. - Spot - futures: No strategy [3]. - Options: No strategy [3].

Report Summary 1) Report Industry Investment Rating - High - sulfur fuel oil: Oscillation [3] - Low - sulfur fuel oil: Oscillation [3] 2) Core Viewpoints - The main contract of SHFE fuel oil futures closed down 0.07% at 2,912 yuan/ton while the main contract of INE low - sulfur fuel oil futures closed up 0.17% at 3,563 yuan/ton [1] - Crude oil prices showed a volatile and strong trend after the OPEC meeting. Short - term fundamentals are okay with some market support, but there is pressure on the balance sheet to turn into surplus in the medium term, so there is resistance above after continuous rebounds [1] - The overall market contradiction of fuel oil is limited. High - sulfur fuel oil cracking spreads have continuously declined recently. With summer approaching, power generation demand in the Middle East and Egypt is rising, and Egypt's fuel oil imports continue to grow. However, high cracking spreads have suppressed refinery demand, and the market will face pressure after power generation demand falls [2] - Low - sulfur fuel oil has limited short - term supply pressure with low bonded port inventories. But after the domestic refinery maintenance season ends, domestic production is expected to rise, and the volume of arbitrage cargoes from the West in June is also expected to increase. In the medium term, it still faces the contradiction of being replaced in the ship - fuel demand share [2] 3) Strategy Summary - High - sulfur: Oscillation [3] - Low - sulfur: Oscillation [3] - Cross - variety: Pay attention to the opportunity of shorting FU cracking spreads (FU - SC or FU - Brent) on rallies. Short - term support is strong, so try to short at high levels [3] - Cross - period: None [3] - Spot - futures: None [3] - Options: None [3]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The current market structure of fuel oil remains stable, with the short - term fundamentals of high - sulfur and low - sulfur fuel oil being acceptable. However, in the medium term, the contradiction of demand share substitution and surplus production capacity has not been reversed [2]. - The price of crude oil has been fluctuating recently, and its short - term direction is unclear, providing limited guidance for FU and LU prices [2]. - For high - sulfur fuel oil, as summer approaches, the demand from power plants in the Middle East and other regions is entering a seasonal growth stage, but the substitution demand for fuel oil may decline year - on - year this year [2]. 3. Summary According to Relevant Content Market Analysis - The main contract of SHFE fuel oil futures closed up 1.29% at 3,074 yuan/ton during the day session, and the main contract of INE low - sulfur fuel oil futures closed up 0.25% at 3,571 yuan/ton [1]. Strategy - High - sulfur fuel oil: Short - term trend is oscillating with a slight upward bias, but there is still pressure in the medium term [3]. - Low - sulfur fuel oil: Short - term trend is oscillating with a slight upward bias, but there is still pressure in the medium term [3]. - Cross - variety: No strategy provided [3]. - Cross - period: Pay attention to the opportunity of going long the spread between FU2507 and FU2509 at low levels (positive spread) [3]. - Futures - spot: No strategy provided [3]. - Options: No strategy provided [3].

燃料油日报 | 2025-04-29 低硫油市场结构走强，但潜在压力仍存 市场分析 上期所燃料油期货主力合约日盘收涨0.46%，报3026元/吨；INE低硫燃料油期货主力合约日盘收涨1.94%，报3529 元/吨。 原油价格延续震荡走势，短期不确定性因素较多，趋势尚不明朗，对下游FU、LU价格指引有限。 就燃料油自身基本面来看，虽然前期现货端紧张的矛盾已缓解，炼厂与船燃端需求面临利空。但随着夏季临近， 中东、埃及等地电厂终端需求将迎来季节性提升，由于天然气短缺的问题，埃及、伊朗与伊拉克预计会使用更多 高硫燃料油来替代天然气，为燃料油带来额外的消费增量。4月份埃及、沙特高硫燃料油进口已经有显著增加的信 号，未来几个月有望贡献更多的消费增量。 低硫燃料油方面，市场结构有边际好转的迹象，现货贴水、月差与裂解价差回升，西区套利船货供应边际收紧。 但剩余产能仍较为充裕，科威特、尼日利亚炼厂产量近期有所回升。此外，低硫燃料油需求份额被替代的趋势并 未逆转，5月地中海ECA生效后或面临进一步的压力。此外，如果关税冲突延续，全球贸易需求面临下行风险，进 而对燃料油需求形成利空，低硫燃料油反应会更加敏感。 策略 高硫方面：震荡 ...

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No industry investment rating information is provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints - The short - term contradiction in the fuel oil market is limited, and it is waiting for new catalysts. Recently, the crude oil price has been strong, with Brent rising to around $75 per barrel, enhancing the cost - side support for fuel oil, and both FU and LU have fluctuated upwards [1]. - The high - sulfur fuel oil market structure is still in the adjustment stage, with the marginal weakening of the spot premium, but there are still supporting factors. The current tight heavy oil contradiction will suppress the growth of high - sulfur fuel oil supply. In addition, with the approaching of summer, the power demand in the Middle East, Egypt and other places will have a seasonal increase, and due to the natural gas shortage, Egypt, Iran and Iraq are expected to use more high - sulfur fuel oil to replace natural gas, bringing additional consumption increments [1]. - The low - sulfur fuel oil market structure is stable in the short term and may fluctuate in the direction of crude oil. In the medium term, its market share will continue to be squeezed by desulfurization towers and clean energy, and may face further pressure after the Mediterranean ECA takes effect in May [1]. 3. Strategy Summary - **High - sulfur fuel oil**: It will fluctuate, with short - term adjustment and support at the bottom [2]. - **Low - sulfur fuel oil**: It will fluctuate, and a medium - term bearish view is taken [2]. - **Cross - variety**: No strategy is provided [2]. - **Cross - period**: Pay attention to the opportunity of going long on the spread of FU2507 - 2509 at low prices [2]. - **Futures - spot**: No strategy is provided [2]. - **Options**: No strategy is provided [2]. 4.
