Report Industry Investment Ratings - Crude oil: ★☆★, indicating a bullish bias but limited operability on the trading floor [1] - Fuel oil: ☆☆☆, suggesting a short - term equilibrium state with poor operability [1] - Low - sulfur fuel oil: ★☆☆, showing a bullish bias but limited operability on the trading floor [1] - Asphalt: ☆☆☆, indicating a short - term equilibrium state with poor operability [1] - LPG: ☆☆☆, suggesting a short - term equilibrium state with poor operability [1] Core Views - The report analyzes the market conditions of various energy products including crude oil, fuel oil, low - sulfur fuel oil, asphalt, and LPG, and provides corresponding investment suggestions and market trend judgments based on factors such as supply, demand, inventory, and price movements [2][3][4][5] Summary by Product Crude Oil - Overnight international oil prices rose, with the SC10 contract up 1.85% intraday. Last week, US EIA crude oil inventories decreased by 601,4000 barrels more than expected due to increased exports and decreased imports. The Russia - Ukraine peace negotiation has stalled, and the market's previous pricing of geopolitical easing needs to be revised. It is recommended to hold out - of - the - money option straddles for hedging and then enter medium - term short positions after the volatility increases [2] Fuel Oil & Low - sulfur Fuel Oil - Both high - and low - sulfur fuel oils rose driven by the rebound in crude oil. The shipment of high - sulfur fuel oil from the Middle East to Asia has been increasing, and the heavy residue fuel oil inventory in Fujairah has decreased. In August, the total arrival volume increased by 733,000 tons (25.1%) compared to June. The expected increase in heavy - resource supply from the Middle East still suppresses the market. The FU warehouse receipts decreased by 7000 tons to 73,710 tons, and the high - low sulfur spread narrowed slightly at the close [3] Asphalt - Since mid - August, the diversion effect of US imports of Venezuelan oil on North Asian resources has increased. Sinopec's increase in deep - processing load has led to an expanding year - on - year decline in cumulative asphalt production. The shipment volume of sample refineries in August increased by 8% year - on - year, breaking the growth bottleneck from June to July. Leading indicators such as the issuance of special bonds for toll roads and the cumulative domestic sales of road rollers are showing positive year - on - year trends, indicating potential asphalt demand. The futures are driven by the strengthening of crude oil, with the basis declining. The market is mainly in a volatile state, and the 10 - contract is expected to fluctuate narrowly between 3400 - 3500 yuan/ton [4] LPG - The overseas market has recently stabilized. Although exports are increasing, the procurement demand in East Asia provides support due to strong chemical profits. In China, the import arrival volume and refinery releases have increased, and domestic gas is still under pressure. After the decline in naphtha driven by the fall in crude oil, the cost advantage of propane has been continuously weakened. Under the expectation of a subsequent decline in chemical gross profit, the sustainability of the current high operating rate should be monitored. The market is waiting for the implementation of bearish expectations. With a high level of warehouse receipts, the top pressure is relatively strong, and the high - basis pattern can continue, with the market mainly in a low - level volatile state [5]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The short - term oil price is likely to remain in a volatile pattern. The supply side has formed a new balance between the increase in US exports and India's oil source switch, but the expansion of Russian oil discounts may stimulate non - US buyers to replenish stocks. On the demand side, the high refinery operating rate coexists with the differentiation of terminal refined oil consumption. The reduction of gasoline inventory supports the oil price, while the concern of diesel inventory accumulation limits the upside space. In the medium term, attention should be paid to the continuity of OPEC+ production policy and the autumn maintenance rhythm of Northern Hemisphere refineries [5]. - The crude oil market presents a mixed situation of long and short factors. On the supply side, the increase in US exports, the resumption of the Friendship Pipeline, and India's procurement structure adjustment may increase market supply, but Norway's stable production and OPEC+ production cuts still support oil prices. On the demand side, the high operating rate of US refineries and the recovery of crude oil demand support consumption, but the high distillate oil inventory indicates weak diesel demand. Inventory depletion is good but shows regional differentiation. The increase in Cushing inventory suppresses WTI, while the decline in commercial inventory provides support. Geopolitical risks and changes in trade flows increase market uncertainty. International oil prices are expected to maintain a volatile pattern [66]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Daily Market Summary 3.1.1 Crude Oil Futures Market Data Changes Analysis - On August 20, the SC crude oil main contract closed at 484.2 yuan/barrel, slightly down from the previous day. WTI and Brent closed at $62.0/barrel and $65.95/barrel respectively, continuing the weak consolidation. The SC - Brent spread widened to $1.47/barrel, and the SC - WTI spread widened to $5.42/barrel, indicating the continued valuation repair of domestic SC crude oil relative to international oil prices. The Brent - WTI spread rose to $3.95/barrel, and the tight supply pattern in the European market supported the Brent premium. The near - end contract of SC weakened, and the spread between consecutive 1 and consecutive 3 changed from +2.2 yuan/barrel the previous day to -3.7 yuan/barrel, showing the pressure of near - month delivery [2]. - The daily fluctuation range of the SC crude oil main contract narrowed to 481.9 - 488.1 yuan/barrel, and the closing price fell slightly by 0.87%, reflecting that the market trading sentiment tended to be cautious [2]. 3.1.2 Analysis of Industrial Chain Supply - Demand and Inventory Changes - **Supply side**: Norway's crude oil production in July remained at 1.958 million barrels per day, and the production of non - OPEC+ countries was stable. The crude oil supply of the Friendship Pipeline to Hungary and Slovakia resumed, and the Eurasian land logistics disturbance was alleviated. Indian state - owned refineries reduced their purchases of Russian oil (a 19% month - on - month decrease in July) and turned to Middle Eastern and US oil sources, and the Russian oil export structure faced adjustment pressure. US crude oil exports are expected to rebound to more than 4 million barrels per day in August and September, and the discount of WTI relative to Middle Eastern oil stimulates Asian demand [3]. - **Demand side**: The operating rate of US refineries rose to 96.6% (previous value 96.4%), the demand for crude oil processing strengthened, and the derived demand for crude oil production jumped to 20.738 million barrels per day (previous value 19.813 million barrels). The operating rate of Japanese refineries rose to 86.9% (previous value 84.4%), but the commercial crude oil inventory decreased by 27,777 kiloliters, and the replenishment of gasoline and kerosene was active. Diesel demand showed fatigue, and the derived demand for US distillate oil production slightly decreased to 5.1193 million barrels per day (previous value 5.142 million barrels) [3]. - **Inventory side**: US commercial crude oil inventories plummeted by 6.014 million barrels (expected to decrease by 1.759 million barrels). The larger - than - expected decline was mainly due to a large decrease in imports of 1.218 million barrels and an increase in derived demand for production. Cushing inventories increased by 0.419 million barrels against the trend (previous value +0.045 million barrels), and inventory accumulation at the delivery location suppressed WTI. EIA data showed a significant reduction in US crude oil inventories, but the increase in Cushing inventories and the differentiation of refined oil inventories limited the rebound momentum of oil prices. The differentiation of refined oil inventories was significant. Gasoline inventories decreased by 2.72 million barrels more than expected, and refined oil inventories increased significantly by 2.343 million barrels, indicating weak diesel demand and the support of gasoline consumption by the summer travel season [4]. 3.1.3 Price Trend Judgment The short - term oil price may still maintain a volatile pattern. On the supply side, the increase in US exports and the switch of Indian oil sources form a new balance, but the expansion of Russian oil discounts may stimulate non - US buyers to replenish stocks. On the demand side, the high operating rate of refineries coexists with the differentiation of terminal refined oil consumption. The reduction of gasoline inventory provides support for the oil price, while the concern of diesel inventory accumulation limits the upside space. In the medium term, pay attention to the continuity of OPEC+ production policy and the autumn maintenance rhythm of Northern Hemisphere refineries [5]. 3.2 Industrial Chain Price Monitoring 3.2.1 Crude Oil - **Futures prices**: On August 20, 2025, the SC futures price was 482.80 yuan/barrel, down 1.40 yuan or -0.29% from the previous day; the WTI futures price was $62.84/barrel, up $0.84 or 1.35%; the Brent futures price was $67.04/barrel, up $1.09 or 1.65% [7]. - **Spot prices**: The OPEC basket price remained unchanged at $68.45/barrel.
