1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided regarding the report industry investment rating 2. Core View of the Report The short - term trend of crude oil is expected to be weak with oscillations, and attention should be paid to the persistence of geopolitical events. The supply side presents a mix of positive and negative factors, and the demand side is at the end of the peak season with refinery profits under pressure. The significant inventory build - up and the deepening of the contango structure intensify the pressure on near - term prices. The upside potential of oil prices is restricted by inventory pressure and marginal supply increase. If Russia's export plan is actually realized or the geopolitical premium fades, oil prices may continue the weak oscillatory trend, with the short - term support for WTI at $62 - 63 per barrel and resistance at $65 per barrel [8] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Daily Market Summary 3.1.1 Crude Oil Futures Market Data Change Analysis - **主力合约与基差**: As of August 26, the SC crude oil continuous contract price slightly declined to 496.1 yuan per barrel, up 0.65% from the previous day, but closed at 487 yuan per barrel at night, down 2.19% from the day session. WTI and Brent main contracts fell 2.21% to $63.31 and $66.69 per barrel respectively.

Iran's exports declined in August due to US sanctions and logistics constraints, and Alberta in Canada sought investment in the Japanese refining industry [4] - **需求端**: The interruption of Russia's refining capacity and the seasonal peak in gasoline demand may suppress the actual increase in crude oil re - exports. Global refinery margins remained low, and attention should be paid to the trends of US strategic reserves and the end of the seasonal demand in the Northern Hemisphere [5] - **库存端**: US Cushing and commercial crude oil inventories continued to accumulate. The medium - sulfur crude oil futures warehouse receipts increased significantly, and fuel oil warehouse receipts also rose, reflecting the surplus pressure in the spot market.

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2. Core Viewpoints - This week, oil prices fluctuated within a narrow range, with a slight rebound in absolute prices on Friday. The peak of summer crude oil demand is ending, and the inflection point of the crude oil fundamentals has emerged. South American supply has been delivered as expected. The market is focusing on the Russia-Ukraine negotiations and the implementation of the US "punishment" measures against India for buying Russian oil. [6] - On August 21, India stated that it would continue to purchase Russian oil, eliminating the risk of an embargo, but trade frictions still have uncertainties. On Thursday, the US announced a new round of sanctions against Iran, involving two Chinese companies. The potential impact of this round of sanctions is significant, and subsequently, the Dubai market's monthly spread strengthened. [6] - From a macro perspective, the expectation of an interest rate cut in the US in September is rising, and the macro sentiment is positive, supporting the absolute price. Fundamentally, global oil inventories are slightly decreasing, US commercial inventories are decreasing, gasoline inventories are decreasing, and diesel inventories are increasing. This week, the refining profits of European and American refineries have strengthened, and the crack spreads of gasoline and diesel have also strengthened. [6] - Currently, refineries are at the peak of their operation. The latest estimate is that refinery maintenance in October worldwide will exceed previous years' levels (in Europe and Africa), and the crude oil monthly spread is expected to be under pressure. In the short term, the absolute price of crude oil is expected to remain oscillating with a slight upward trend, with Brent crude oil in the range of $65 - $70. In the medium term, the absolute price is expected to weaken, and the price will fall to $60 per barrel in the fourth quarter.
