Investors should pay attention to supply risks and price fluctuations, and choose appropriate investment strategies based on product fundamentals and geopolitical situations [2][3][4][5] Summary by Related Catalogs Crude Oil - Before the US and Iran resume negotiations, the Israel - Iran conflict shows no clear sign of downgrading. Although OPEC's effective idle capacity and OPEC+'s production increase elasticity can make up for Iran's oil exports in about 6 months, investors should focus on the risk of attacks on Iran's oil production and export facilities and short - term supply reduction [2] - Based on the market pricing performance in 2011 when Iran threatened to block the Strait of Hormuz, the extreme upside risk of the Brent crude oil near - month contract points to $80 - 90 per barrel.

The FU crack spread is expected to be under pressure [3] - The supply of low - sulfur fuel oil remains abundant, the demand for low - sulfur marine fuel is insufficient, and the LU crack spread declines when crude oil strengthens due to geopolitical premium [3] Asphalt - Today, oil prices fell from high levels, and asphalt mainly fluctuated. Due to the gradual consumption of crude oil quotas, the increase in production of local refineries lacks resilience. After the peak maintenance period, major refineries plan to increase the operation of deep - processing units, and the increase in asphalt production is expected to be limited [4] - The shipment volume of 54 sample refineries has increased month - on - month, and the cumulative year - on - year growth has turned positive. The sales volume of road rollers, a leading indicator of asphalt consumption, increased significantly year - on - year from January to April, indicating a substantial boost in terminal demand soon [4] - The latest factory and social inventories of asphalt have both declined. The fundamental support factors for asphalt still exist, but the BU crack spread is under pressure before the risk of rising oil prices caused by geopolitical risks is eliminated [4] Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) - The Middle East geopolitical conflict is still intensifying, increasing the risk of Iran's LPG production and exports. The international market prices in the risk and remains strong [5] - Currently, China's chemical demand for LPG is still recovering, and attention should be paid to the pressure of declining margins after the increase in import costs. The mid - month arrival volume and refinery gas release are both increasing.
