Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content Core Viewpoints of the Report - The Asian low - sulfur fuel oil market structure is stable, with spot premiums rising slightly due to active physical buying. The low - sulfur fuel oil market is still suppressed by sufficient supply in the short term, while the high - sulfur fuel oil market is relatively weaker, causing the Hi - 5 spread to widen. The market is neutral. The fuel oil market has mixed signals, with some factors like inventory reduction being positive and others like price below the 20 - day line and short - dominated positions being negative. The expected price ranges are 2860 - 2900 for FU2509 and 3540 - 3600 for LU2510 [3]. - The summer power generation demand is expected to increase, but the optimism on the demand side needs verification, and there is a possibility of relaxed sanctions on Russia. The market is driven by the resonance of supply affected by geopolitical risks and neutral demand [4]. Summary by Directory 1.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Views of the Report - PTA: After the cease - fire between Iran and Israel this week, oil prices quickly gave back the geopolitical premium and returned to a volatile state. The upstream cost support collapsed, and the PTA futures market followed suit. However, in terms of supply - demand structure, PTA itself did not accumulate inventory. It is expected that the PTA spot price will continue to fluctuate and adjust following the cost side in the short term, with the spot basis fluctuating within a certain range. Attention should be paid to the polyester load reduction in July [5]. - MEG: At the beginning of this week, the ethylene glycol port inventory will still show a certain decline. However, there will be a concentrated arrival of foreign - owned vessels at the beginning of July, and the subsequent visible inventory will gradually increase. The domestic and foreign supply will gradually recover, and the supply - demand of ethylene glycol will shift to inventory accumulation in the third quarter, with an overall increase of around 200,000 tons. The on - site spot liquidity will continue to be released. In addition, the polyester sales have been weak recently, and the terminal load has declined. The subsequent industrial chain contradictions will gradually be transmitted upwards. It is expected that the price of ethylene glycol will be mainly adjusted weakly in the short term, and attention should be paid to the changes in polyester load [7]. 3.
