7月14日，白宫记者会上，美国总统特朗普突然抛出一颗"经济核弹"。他给普京划下50天停火期限，威胁将俄商品关税提高到100%，更放话 要连带制裁所有购买俄油的国家。 明眼人一看便知，这记重拳表面打向莫斯科，实则瞄准的是北京和新德里。这场以能源为武器的博弈，瞬间将全球贸易战场烧得通红。 短短一周后，美国财长贝森特撕下最后伪装。7月21日接受采访时，他单刀直入抛出要求：中国必须停止购买俄罗斯与伊朗石油。 为强化威胁，他搬出"二级制裁"这把屠刀——任何继续采购俄油的国家都将面临100%关税惩罚，相关企业、运输公司乃至银行统统难逃"连 坐"。原本聚焦市场准入的贸易谈判，被美方强行塞进地缘政治炸药包。 普京的冷静反应折射出大国博弈的微妙。面对特朗普的"50天通牒"，克里姆林宫轻描淡写表态"坚持既定目标"。这种近乎沉默的姿态，恰是 对中俄关系韧性的自信。 中国对俄罗斯原油的依赖绝非美方臆想的那般脆弱。2025年上半年数据显示，4200万吨俄罗斯原油占中国进口总量的3.8%，稳居第三大供 应国位置。这些石油以低于国际市场约5%的价格输送，成为中国能源成本控制的关键筹码。 更关键的是，2024年中俄能源贸易额高达764亿美元 ...

Core Viewpoint - Geopolitical factors have led to significant volatility in oil prices, resulting in the expectation that major oil companies will report their lowest quarterly profits in four years [1] Group 1: Oil Price Volatility - Oil prices surged by 31% over a seven-week period from May to June, but ultimately fell by 10% by the end of the quarter due to the impact of President Trump's trade war and OPEC+ production increases [1] - The volatility has caused a divergence in performance between Shell and BP, with Shell warning of a "significant decline" in trading profits while BP anticipates "strong" profits from its oil trading business [1][4] Group 2: Earnings Forecasts - Analysts predict that the combined earnings of ExxonMobil, Chevron, Shell, TotalEnergies, and BP will decline by 12% quarter-on-quarter to $19.88 billion [1][4] - The average oil price for the quarter is expected to be below $70 per barrel, complicating the ability of global energy giants to maintain shareholder returns [4] Group 3: Company-Specific Insights - Shell's trading department, typically a reliable profit source, underperformed, leading to a decline in European oil stocks, although Shell's stock rose by approximately 10% this year [7] - BP is under pressure from activist investors and has appointed a new chairman, focusing on its core oil and gas business to improve its performance [7] - Chevron has reduced buyback spending in response to falling oil prices, while ExxonMobil has increased capital expenditures to drive low-cost production growth [9][10] Group 4: Cash Flow and Shareholder Returns - The combined free cash flow of the five major companies is expected to fall short of covering planned dividends and buybacks for the third consecutive quarter [10] - If oil prices remain around $70, companies are likely to maintain buybacks, but if prices drop to $60 or lower, some may cut back on buybacks while others may continue [10]

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. 2. Core Viewpoints - This week, crude oil prices fluctuated within a narrow range, the monthly spreads of the three major crude oil markets declined slightly, and global oil inventories increased slightly. Policy-wise, the EU passed the 18th round of sanctions against Russia, lowering the price cap on Russian oil. Iran may conduct nuclear negotiations with major European powers next week, and whether to restart nuclear negotiations with the US depends on the US attitude. On the supply side, the Kurdish oil fields were attacked, and about 200,000 barrels per day of production is at risk of interruption. Fundamentally, global oil inventories increased slightly, while US commercial crude oil inventories decreased. Diesel inventories at major global trading hubs continued to decline, reaching historical lows, and the cracking spread of European diesel led the profit growth on the product side. After Independence Day, the apparent demand for gasoline in the US dropped significantly, and the global gasoline cracking spread has been fluctuating recently. This week, global refinery profits strengthened on a week-on-week basis, and the product side remained relatively strong. In China, refinery operations fluctuated. After the increase in operations in June, gasoline and diesel inventories at refineries increased significantly, and refinery profits weakened on a week-on-week basis, leaving limited room for further boosting operations. During the peak season of actual crude oil demand, the escalation of sanctions against Russia and the marginal tightening of Iranian crude oil supply support the crude oil inter - month structure. However, the peak - season factors have been largely realized, and the monthly spreads have been in a fluctuating pattern recently. In the medium term, the absolute price of crude oil faces downward pressure due to OPEC's accelerated production increase and the impact of US tariff policies on the global economy. Attention should be paid to the contradiction between non - OPEC production and the near - term diesel inventory [6]. 3. Summary by Section 3.1 Daily News - The API crude oil inventory in the US for the week ending July 18 was - 577,000 barrels, with an expected - 646,000 barrels and a previous value of 839,000 barrels [3]. - The US Treasury Secretary said that the next round of China - US talks may discuss China's purchase of Russian and Iranian oil.

Group 1 - The EU's latest sanctions on Russian oil are unlikely to have a severe impact, making secondary sanctions by the US one of the few remaining economic pressures on the Kremlin [1][4] - The new sanctions lower the price cap on Russian crude oil from $60 to $47.6 per barrel, effective September 3, and include a mechanism to ensure it remains 15% below the average price of Russian oil [1][3] - A significant addition is the ban on importing refined products made from Russian crude oil, aimed at closing loopholes left by previous sanctions [1][2] Group 2 - The effectiveness of initial sanctions has been limited, as countries like India have significantly increased their imports of Russian oil due to discounts from the price cap [1][3] - In 2024, Russia's oil and petroleum product export revenue is projected to reach $192 billion, significantly higher than its defense budget of $110 billion [3] - The EU's new sanctions package includes an additional 105 vessels sanctioned for evading the initial price cap, bringing the total to 447 [4] Group 3 - Secondary sanctions proposed by Trump could impose a 100% tariff on countries purchasing Russian oil unless a peace agreement is reached within 50 days [5][6] - The potential for secondary sanctions raises concerns about their effectiveness in the global energy market, as they could lead to increased oil prices and inflation, which the US does not want to see [7][8] - Despite escalating sanctions threats, both Russia and oil traders appear relatively unfazed at this time [8]

华盛顿的喧嚣与莫斯科的平静形成鲜明对比。白宫一片紧张，特朗普放出狠话：若俄罗斯50天内不停火，美国将对所有购买俄油的国家加征100%的关税， 中国、印度、土耳其首当其冲。北约秘书长斯托尔滕贝格则隔空向中国喊话，敦促其"尽快与普京沟通"，白宫官员向彭博社透露，此举意在"提高中俄合作 的成本"。然而，克里姆林宫对此却保持沉默，甚至传闻普京正全神贯注于筹备对乌克兰的"夏季攻势"。俄罗斯财政部仅轻描淡写地回应："国际市场瞬息万 变，俄罗斯将继续保持能源供应的稳定。" 更让白宫措手不及的是，中国的行动。6月份的数据显示，中国日均进口俄罗斯石油近200万吨，创下历史新高。东西伯利亚输油管道满负荷运转，远东港口 油轮络绎不绝，其中一半原油通过长期协议锁定价格，运输路线更是巧妙地避开了敏感的马六甲海峡。俄罗斯石油公司CEO谢钦在7月21日透露，上半年对 华石油供应增长5%，总量超过5500万吨，占俄罗斯能源出口总量的20%。 这沉默的背后，是一条条早已构建完成的"反杀链条"。中俄合作的底气，源于三条坚实的"钢铁动脉"： 首先是发达的管道网络。"西伯利亚力量"天然气管道年输气量达310亿立方米，占中国天然气进口总量的12%。" ...
