Group 1: Report Investment Rating - No information provided on the industry investment rating Group 2: Core Viewpoints - The supply of high - sulfur fuel oil is affected by factors such as the recovery of Russian refineries and the increase in Middle - East exports due to the decline in power - generation demand. The demand side shows that summer power - generation demand has completely subsided, and feedstock demand support is not obvious under the background of high - sulfur cracking decline and low - cost tax reform. High - sulfur near - end inventory at a high level still suppresses market prices. Attention should be paid to the generation of new warehouse receipts and the subsequent inventory digestion rhythm for high - sulfur near - month contracts. [7] - The supply of low - sulfur fuel oil has short - term disturbances. The operation of the Nigerian RFCC device is unstable, and it is reported to have returned in the past two weeks. There is an expected increase in the logistics redirection of low - sulfur heavy raw materials to the Pan - Singapore area due to the conflict between South Sudan and the UAE, but there have been no new tenders since September. The Al - Zour refinery maintains high - level low - sulfur shipments but is affected by the UAE diversion recently. The return of Malaysian refineries increases some low - sulfur straight - run supply. In the Chinese market, the third batch of low - sulfur quotas has been issued, with Sinopec and PetroChina expected to have sufficient quotas in the fourth quarter without increasing production, while CNOOC expects a tight quota. Ship - fuel demand is stable without specific drivers.
