Report Information - Report Type: Crude Oil Daily Report [1] - Date: July 17, 2025 [2] Investment Rating - Not provided Core View - Oil prices are gradually returning to fundamental drivers. OPEC+ production increase slightly exceeds expectations, but the actual increment is limited. The demand side still has support, and combined with geopolitical changes, oil prices are expected to rise in the 3rd quarter. It is recommended to try long positions with a light position [7] Summary by Directory 1. Market Review and Operation Suggestions - **Market Quotes**: WTI's opening price was 65.67 dollars/barrel, closing at 65.56 dollars/barrel, with a high of 66.06 dollars/barrel, a low of 65.18 dollars/barrel, a decline of 0.38%, and a trading volume of 21.80 million lots. Brent's opening price was 69.15 dollars/barrel, closing at 68.86 dollars/barrel, with a high of 69.41 dollars/barrel, a low of 68.60 dollars/barrel, a decline of 0.51%, and a trading volume of 31.49 million lots.

OPEC+ decided to further expand the production increase from August, from the previous 410,000 barrels per day to 550,000 barrels per day. In the first month of OPEC's expanded production increase, the production of 8 member countries only increased by 150,000 barrels per day month-on-month. Although the three major institutions have raised their demand expectations for the second half of the year, due to the supply growth potential of countries such as Brazil and Guyana, the adjustment of the balance sheet is limited, and the inventory pressure in the 4th quarter will be greater than that in the 3rd quarter [6][7] - **Operation Suggestions**: It is expected that oil prices will still have the potential to rise in the 3rd quarter, and it is recommended to try long positions with a light position [7] 2. Industry News - The US threatens to withdraw from the International Energy Agency [8] - US Energy Secretary Wright said that the US is considering innovative trading plans to replenish oil reserves [8] - Two sources revealed that Europe plans to contact Iran in the next few days and weeks, stating that if Iran takes measures to reassure the world about its nuclear program, it can avoid the automatic resumption of sanctions [8] 3.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - For domestic assets, there are mainly structural opportunities, with the policy - driven logic being strengthened. The probability of incremental domestic policies being implemented in the fourth quarter is higher. Attention should be paid to the impact of the "anti - involution" policy on the supply - side on assets. Overseas, attention should be paid to tariff frictions and geopolitical risks. In the long term, the weak - dollar pattern continues, and volatility jumps should be guarded against. Strategic allocation of resources such as gold should be maintained [6]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs 3.1 Macro Essentials Overseas Macro - The "reciprocal tariff" rates of the United States for most economies have been announced. Except for Japan and Malaysia, most rates have been lowered, and short - term tariff uncertainty has declined. In May, the US wholesale sales monthly rate was - 0.3%, and the wholesale inventory monthly rate final value was - 0.3%. In June, the 1 - year inflation expectation of the New York Fed was 3.0%. The number of new non - farm jobs in the US in June was better than expected, but there were concerns in the employment market. The "Big and Beautiful" Act in the US on July 4 will increase the US deficit by $3.3 trillion in the next 10 years [6]. Domestic Macro - In June, China's export volume increased slightly year - on - year to 5.8%, CPI increased by 0.1% year - on - year, and PPI decreased by 3.6% year - on - year. The improvement in exports to the US was the main boost. The Central Financial and Economic Commission's sixth meeting on July 1 proposed to regulate the low - price and disorderly competition of enterprises and promote the orderly withdrawal of backward production capacity. Commodities oriented to domestic demand and those that have been falling since the beginning of the year were greatly affected by the "anti - involution" policy [6]. 3.2 Viewpoint Highlights Macro - Domestically, there will be moderate reserve requirement ratio cuts and interest rate cuts, and the fiscal end will implement established policies in the short term. Overseas, the inflation expectation structure has flattened, the economic growth expectation has improved, and stagflation trading has cooled down [7]. Financial - The sentiment in the stock market has risen, and the bond market maintains a volatile trend. Stock index futures continue a moderately upward trend, stock index options remain cautious, and the sentiment in the bond market for treasury bond futures has weakened [7]. Precious Metals - Risk appetite has recovered, and precious metals are in short - term adjustment. Gold and silver continue to adjust [7]. Shipping - The sentiment has declined. Attention should be paid to the sustainability of the increase in the loading rate in June. For the container shipping route to Europe, attention should be paid to the game between peak - season expectations and the implementation of price increases [7]. Black Building Materials - The macro sentiment has temporarily cooled down, and black commodities have declined slightly. Steel products, iron ore, coke, coking coal, silicon iron, manganese silicon, glass, and soda ash all show a volatile trend [7]. Non - ferrous Metals and New Materials - There is a game between reciprocal tariff and domestic policy stimulus expectations. Non - ferrous metals stop falling and rebound. Copper, aluminum, zinc, lead, nickel, stainless steel, tin, and other metals show different volatile trends [7]. Energy and Chemicals - OPEC+ has increased production more than expected, and crude oil will drag down the energy and chemical sector to fluctuate weakly. Crude oil, LPG, asphalt, high - sulfur fuel oil, low - sulfur fuel oil, and other products show different trends such as volatile decline, decline, and volatility [9]. Agriculture - Agricultural varieties mostly show a volatile trend. Rubber, synthetic rubber, pulp, cotton, sugar, and other products all show a volatile trend [9].

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints - The current geopolitical risks in the crude oil market are still uncertain. Although OPEC has increased production slightly more than expected, the current fundamentals are still in a tight - balance. The overall crude oil is in a long - short game between strong reality and weak expectations. It is recommended that investors control risks and adopt a wait - and - see approach [2]. - For methanol, the domestic market is likely to show a pattern of both supply and demand weakening. After the sentiment cools down, it is expected that the price will not have a large - scale unilateral trend. It is recommended to wait and see [4]. - Regarding urea, the domestic supply - demand situation is acceptable, and the price has support at the bottom, but the upside space is also restricted by high supply. The current valuation is neutral to low, and it is more advisable to pay attention to short - long opportunities on dips [6]. - For rubber, NR and RU have risen and then fluctuated slightly stronger, but considering that the leading varieties in the black market have started to fluctuate, NR and RU still need to guard against the risk of correction. In the second half of the year, it is prone to rise and difficult to fall. Adopt a long - term bullish mindset, build positions opportunistically, and use a neutral - to - bullish or neutral approach in the short - term, taking short - long positions on dips and making quick trades. Also, pay attention to the band - trading opportunity of going long on RU2601 and short on RU2509 [9][12]. - For PVC, under the expectation of strong supply and weak demand, the main logic of the market is the transition from de - stocking to inventory accumulation. Although it has strengthened recently driven by the rebound in the black building materials sector, it will still be under pressure due to the weak fundamental expectations [14]. - For styrene, the short - term geopolitical influence has subsided, and the BZN is expected to recover. It is expected that the styrene price will fluctuate following the cost side [18]. - For polyethylene, the short - term contradiction has shifted from cost - driven decline to high - maintenance - promoted inventory reduction. In July, there are no new capacity investment plans, and the price is expected to remain volatile [20]. - For polypropylene, under the background of weak supply and demand in the off - season, it is expected that the price will be bearish in July [21]. - For PX, the maintenance season is over, and the load remains high. In the third quarter, due to the commissioning of new PTA plants, PX is expected to continue de - stocking. The current valuation is at a neutral level, and it is advisable to pay attention to the opportunity of going long on dips following the trend of crude oil [23]. - For PTA, the supply is expected to continue to accumulate inventory in July, and the processing fee is under pressure. The demand side is also under continuous pressure. Pay attention to the opportunity of going long on dips following PX [25]. - For ethylene glycol, the expected inventory reduction at ports will gradually slow down. The valuation is relatively high compared to the same period in history, and the fundamentals are weak. However, due to unexpected shutdowns of Saudi Arabian plants and more - than - expected production cuts of domestic plants, it is expected to be strong in the short - term [26].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The overall outlook for the energy and chemical industry is to approach it with a mindset of weakening oscillations. Most of the varieties are expected to show a trend of weakening oscillations, while some are expected to be in a state of oscillation or oscillation with a slightly upward trend [3]. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Crude oil futures continue to oscillate weakly. The US's 50 - day sanctions buffer period on Russia eases concerns about short - term supply reduction, and Russia's seaborne volume has increased. China's GDP growth in the first half of the year exceeded expectations, which may lead to fewer economic stimulus policies in the second half of the year, causing commodities to show a somewhat weak trend. The increase in China's crude oil processing volume in June has led to a significant increase in the output of petrochemicals, and the decline in crude oil has led the domestic chemical industry. The overall energy and chemical industry is facing downward pressure due to weak demand and falling costs [1][2]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Market Conditions and Views - **Crude Oil**: Supply pressure persists, and attention should be paid to geopolitical disturbances. With the release of the OPEC + production increase negative factors since July, the high refinery operation during the peak demand season and the crude oil supply pressure are in a state of mutual restraint. After the weakening of geopolitical disturbances, oil prices are gradually under pressure and are expected to oscillate weakly [7]. - **LPG**: The support from the cost side is weakening, and the fundamental pattern of oversupply remains unchanged. The PG futures may oscillate weakly. The LPG and civil gas volumes are still at a relatively high level in the same period of history, and the overall demand is in a pattern of strong supply and weak demand in the short term [9]. - **Asphalt**: The valuation of asphalt futures prices is gradually entering a severely over - valued stage. The increase in heavy oil supply will put pressure on the asphalt cracking spread, and the current demand foundation for asphalt to rise is not solid. The absolute price of asphalt is over - valued, and the asphalt monthly spread is expected to decline with the increase in warehouse receipts [7]. - **High - Sulfur Fuel Oil**: The high - sulfur fuel oil futures prices are under great downward pressure. The increase in heavy oil supply and the decrease in power generation demand are relatively certain, and the price is expected to oscillate weakly [8]. - **Low - Sulfur Fuel Oil**: The low - sulfur fuel oil follows the crude oil to oscillate weakly. Affected by green fuel substitution and high - sulfur substitution, the demand space is insufficient, but the current valuation is low and it follows the crude oil to fluctuate [9]. - **Methanol**: The domestic operating load continues to decline, and methanol oscillates. The supply contraction expectation is increasing, but the market's expectation of a reduction in methanol imports has weakened. The port inventory has increased, and the coal supply is stable [19]. - **Urea**: The supply and demand are both weak, and exports support the market. Urea may oscillate in the short term. The supply pressure is slightly relieved due to temporary maintenance in some areas, but the overall demand is weak, and it depends on exports to digest the inventory [20]. - **Ethylene Glycol (EG)**: The future arrival volume of EG is limited, and it follows the raw materials to decline. The port inventory is at a low level, and the EG industry chain itself is in a state of oscillation in the short term, but the pattern is bearish in the long term due to new device production [14]. - **PX**: The sanctions of the US on Russia are less than expected, and PX follows the crude oil to decline. In the short term, the cost - side crude oil is likely to maintain a high - level consolidation, and the PX price is expected to oscillate [11]. - **PTA**: The cost declines, and PTA falls. The supply of PTA is sufficient next week, and downstream polyester factories plan to reduce production. However, the cost - side PX provides strong support, and the overall decline is expected to be limited [11]. - **Short - Fiber**: The decline in crude oil drags down short - fiber, and the short - fiber's own basis remains stable. The short - fiber industry chain's current supply and demand are acceptable, and the 9 - month contract is at a discount to the spot. The short - fiber processing fee will remain stable, and the absolute value will follow the raw materials to fluctuate [15]. - **Bottle Chips**: The decline in crude oil drags down bottle chips, and the supply and demand of bottle chips themselves are acceptable. The bottle chip price follows the upstream raw materials to decline, but the processing fee has support and will remain stable [17]. - **PP**: The support from maintenance is limited, and PP oscillates downward. The supply side of PP is still increasing, and the demand side is weak. The short - term outlook is for oscillation [22]. - **Plastic (LLDPE)**: The maintenance rate is decreasing, and plastic oscillates weakly. The raw material support is weak, the supply side has certain pressure, and the demand side is in the off - season [21]. - **Pure Benzene**: The confidence of benzene - styrene bulls is insufficient, and pure benzene declines. In the medium term, the pattern of pure benzene from July to August is acceptable, but the high inventory suppresses the rebound strength [11][12]. - **Benzene - Styrene**: The risk of a short - squeeze is decreasing, and benzene - styrene falls. The supply and demand of benzene - styrene are expected to weaken, and the inventory in ports is accumulating, but the overall inventory accumulation in Q3 is controllable [13][14]. - **PVC**: The sentiment cools down in stages, and PVC runs weakly. The macro and micro fundamentals of PVC are under pressure, and the production is expected to increase in the future while the demand is weak [24]. - **Caustic Soda**: The spot price has reached the peak, and caustic soda oscillates. The support comes from the warm market sentiment, weak liquid chlorine price, and the discount of the caustic soda futures price, while the pressure comes from the peak of the spot price and the pessimistic supply - demand expectation [24]. 3.2 Variety Data Monitoring 3.2.1 Energy and Chemical Daily Indicator Monitoring - **Inter - period Spread**: Different varieties have different inter - period spread values and changes. For example, the M1 - M2 spread of Brent is 0.95 with a change of - 0.03, and the 1 - 5 - month spread of PX is 26 with a change of - 18 [26]. - **Basis and Warehouse Receipts**: Each variety has corresponding basis and warehouse receipt data. For example, the basis of asphalt is 193 with a change of 29, and the warehouse receipt is 82300 [27]. - **Inter - variety Spread**: There are also different inter - variety spread values and changes. For example, the 1 - month PP - 3MA spread is - 341 with a change of - 19, and the 1 - month TA - EG spread is 320 with a change of - 11 [28].

Summary of Oil Market Conference Call Industry Overview - The conference call discusses the current state and future trends of the oil market, particularly in the context of the impact of U.S. trade policies under President Trump [1][2][3]. Key Points and Arguments - **Impact of Trump's Policies**: The return of Trump has led to significant volatility in the oil market due to trade wars and fluctuating policies, resulting in a downward trend in oil prices [1][2][3]. - **Oil Supply and Demand**: In Q1, global oil supply increased by 1.12% year-on-year, while demand grew by 1.5%, indicating a slight surplus. However, this balance is expected to shift towards oversupply in Q2 and beyond, with an estimated surplus of 450,000 barrels per day for the year [4][5]. - **OPEC's Role**: OPEC's production cuts have kept supply in check, but internal disagreements and external pressures are likely to lead to increased production in the latter part of the year [6][7][8]. - **Non-OPEC Production Growth**: Non-OPEC countries have increased their oil production significantly, with a year-on-year increase of 1.2% in Q1, surpassing OPEC's production growth [8][10]. - **U.S. Oil Production**: The U.S. saw a 3.1% increase in oil production in Q1, exceeding pre-pandemic levels, driven by favorable policies encouraging exploration and production [10][11]. - **Trade Tariffs and Economic Impact**: Trump's tariffs on imports, particularly on energy products, have created uncertainty in the market, affecting both supply chains and pricing dynamics [11][12][13][14]. - **China's Response**: China has implemented retaliatory tariffs on U.S. oil imports, leading to a significant drop in imports from the U.S. by approximately 39.6% in early 2023 [20][22]. Other Important Content - **Environmental Policies**: Trump's administration has shown a lack of commitment to environmental regulations, favoring fossil fuel production, which may have long-term implications for the oil market [25][26]. - **Geopolitical Factors**: The geopolitical landscape, including tensions with Iran and Venezuela, continues to influence oil supply and pricing, with potential sanctions affecting market stability [27][28]. - **Market Predictions**: The overall expectation for the oil market in 2023 is a trend of initial decline followed by recovery, with significant uncertainties stemming from U.S. trade policies and global economic conditions [28][29].

Summary of Conference Call Records Industry or Company Involved - The discussion primarily revolves around the U.S. economy, Federal Reserve policies, and the impact of U.S.-China trade negotiations. Core Points and Arguments 1. The Federal Reserve's decision to maintain the federal funds rate target range at 4.25% to 4.5% aligns with market expectations, but there is growing concern about future economic growth, inflation, and rising unemployment rates [1][5] 2. The job market shows resilience, with a significant increase in non-farm payrolls and stable unemployment rates, indicating no signs of economic slowdown despite previous soft data suggesting otherwise [2][3] 3. The Federal Reserve's stance remains cautious, with no clear guidance on future interest rate paths due to the uncertain impact of tariff policies on the economy [3][4] 4. The market is focused on U.S.-China trade negotiations, with both countries signaling the start of talks, although President Trump has stated he will not lower tariffs on China [4] 5. The Federal Reserve has paused interest rate cuts for the third consecutive meeting, despite calls from President Trump for rate reductions, indicating a careful approach to monetary policy [5] 6. China's foreign exchange reserves increased to $3.2817 trillion, with a rise of $41 billion (1.27%) from the previous month, and the central bank has been increasing gold reserves for six consecutive months [6] 7. Domestic policies in China aim to support the real estate market and enhance financing for small and private enterprises, indicating a proactive approach to stabilize the economy [7] 8. Commodity markets are experiencing declines, with most agricultural products and energy-related commodities seeing price drops, reflecting broader market trends [8][9] 9. Recent data from the U.S. indicates a slight contraction in GDP, influenced by tariff policies affecting consumer confidence and spending [11] Other Important but Possibly Overlooked Content 1. The Federal Reserve's cautious approach is influenced by the need to observe the effects of tariff policies before making further decisions on interest rates [3] 2. The upcoming economic data releases, including the Bank of England's interest rate decision and U.S. unemployment claims, are expected to impact market sentiment [12][13] 3. The overall economic outlook remains strong based on hard data, despite concerns raised by soft survey data, suggesting a complex economic environment [2][3]
