在全球供应过剩预期与地缘政治因素的双重压力下，国际原油市场的基准价格体系出现罕见逆转。 据彭博周一报道，作为全球原油基准的布伦特原油，其期货价格一度比迪拜原油低3美分/桶，这是自今 年4月以来，二者价差首次转为负值。这一价格倒挂，预示着欧洲和亚洲两大核心市场的供需基本面正 在发生深刻变化。 导致布伦特价格走弱的核心因素，是市场对未来供应的悲观预期。交易员普遍预计，随着OPEC+及非 OPEC产油国双双推进增产计划，未来数月原油市场将面临供应过剩的局面。 风险提示及免责条款 市场有风险，投资需谨慎。本文不构成个人投资建议，也未考虑到个别用户特殊的投资目标、财务状况或需要。用户应考虑本文中的任何 意见、观点或结论是否符合其特定状况。据此投资，责任自负。 与此同时，中东等级原油的需求则受到地缘政治的意外提振。据央视新闻，美国总统特朗普正就采购俄 罗斯原油等问题向印度施压。这导致印度炼油商近期出现了一轮短暂的采购热潮，转向寻求中东地区的 替代供应。 由于波斯湾地区出口的大部分原油均以迪拜原油为定价基准，这股额外的需求为迪拜油价提供了相对布 伦特更强的支撑，最终推动了二者价差的逆转。 这一预期不仅打压了布伦特期货的远期 ...

智通财经APP获悉，由于美国总统特朗普打击俄罗斯原油供应，再加上市场预期今年晚些时候将出现原 油供应过剩，全球基准布伦特原油的交易价格正罕见地低于中东原油价格。数据显示，布伦特原油期货 价格较迪拜原油低3美分/桶，为4月以来首次出现这样的情况。 交易员预计，未来几个月市场将被大量原油充斥。OPEC+成员国和非成员国都在增加原油产量，这对 布伦特期货造成压力，同时也削弱了时间价差这一衡量市场健康状况的指标。与此同时，对中东原油品 种的需求得到了短暂提振，原因是印度炼油商的一波抢购潮，而这波买盘与特朗普因印度购买俄罗斯原 油对前者施加的压力有关。 ...

随着特朗普打击俄罗斯原油供应，以及预计今年晚些时候将出现供应过剩，全球原油基准布伦特原油的 交易价格罕见低于中东原油价格。布伦特原油 期货相对迪拜原油价格每桶折价3美分，这是自今年4月 以来这一差价首次变为负值。作为亚洲原油供应的主要来源，波斯湾生产的大多数原油价格都以迪拜原 油为基准定价。交易员预计未来几个月原油市场过剩，因为欧佩克+联盟和非成员国都增加了产量，这 给布伦特原油期货带来了压力，也削弱了时间价差——市场健康状况的晴雨表。与此同时，由于特朗普 威胁印度购买俄罗斯原油，印度炼油商的短暂抢购提振了对中东品级原油的需求。 ...

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content Core Viewpoints - Last week, crude oil showed a trend of rising first and then falling. Trump's extreme pressure on Russia triggered supply concerns and pushed up the geopolitical premium, but the implementation of subsequent measures remains to be observed. In the second half, due to the over - rise correction of the market, the non - farm payrolls data in the US falling short of expectations and the downward revision of the previous value, the fear of economic recession reignited, the VIX index soared, and the capital flight impacted the market, leading to the decline of crude oil. The result of the OPEC+ meeting was in line with expectations. It will increase production by 547,000 barrels per day in September and end the first - stage production restoration ahead of schedule. The subsequent policy will be discussed at the meeting on September 7. Recently, attention should be paid to the macro - sentiment, tracking the VIX index and the US stocks [4] Market Trends - OPEC+ agreed to continue significant production increases in September and exit the current round of production cuts one year ahead of schedule. Eight member countries of OPEC+ reached a resolution to increase production by 548,000 barrels per day in September through a video conference, marking that the organization completed the current - stage supply restoration plan one year ahead of schedule and fully exited the 2.2 million barrels per day production cut agreement implemented by eight member countries since 2023, including the UAE's additional phased production increase quota. Another voluntary production cut agreement of about 1.66 million barrels per day will be re - evaluated by the end of December. This production increase marks a strategic shift of OPEC and its partners from defending oil prices to releasing production capacity, effectively suppressing the impact of geopolitical tensions and seasonal demand peaks on oil prices [4] - As the oil prices in the Middle East rise, Asia will increase its imports of US WTI crude oil in the fourth quarter. Due to the strong demand for high - sulfur crude oil in Asia, the prices of Dubai crude oil and Murban crude oil, the benchmark prices of Middle Eastern crude oil, have risen this month, narrowing the price difference with the low - sulfur light US WTI crude oil. The WTI arbitrage window for Asia has been wide open in the past week, especially for ships arriving in early November. US crude oil producer Occidental Petroleum has sold WTI crude oil to Japanese refiner Taiyo Oil at a premium of about $3.50 per barrel over the October Dubai crude oil quote for delivery in October [5] - The Iranian foreign minister stated that the US needs to compensate for the losses in the conflict before the nuclear negotiations can restart. Iran has set new conditions for restarting the nuclear negotiations with the Trump administration. The US must compensate Iran for the losses caused during the Iran - Israel conflict last month. Iran will not agree to resume negotiations without addressing these issues [5] - The annual rate of the US core PCE price index in June was 2.8%, higher than the expected 2.70%, and the previous value was revised from 2.70% to 2.8%. The monthly rate of the core PCE price index in June was 0.3%, in line with expectations and higher than the previous value of 0.20%. The overall PCE index including food and energy rose 0.3% month - on - month and 2.6% year - on - year, respectively higher than the market expectations of 0.23% and 2.5%. The personal consumption expenditure price index rose 0.3% month - on - month, pushing the annual rate to 2.6%, the highest level since February. Weak spending is due to the cooling of the labor market. Real disposable income remained flat after falling in May, and wages and salaries hardly increased. The July employment report is expected to show a continued slowdown in recruitment and a slight rise in the unemployment rate. The savings rate remained at 4.5%. After the data was released, the spot gold fluctuated slightly in the short term, and the US dollar index rose slightly in the short term [6] - The total number of US oil rigs in the week ending August 1 was 410, compared with 415 in the previous week. As of the week ending July 29, speculators' net long positions in Brent crude oil on the Intercontinental Exchange increased by 33,959 lots to 261,352 lots. In the week ending July 29, speculators' net long positions in NYMEX WTI crude oil increased by 1,752 lots to 87,840 lots [7] EIA Weekly Inventory - As of the week ending July 25, the total US crude oil inventory including strategic reserves was 829.432 million barrels, an increase of 7.94 million barrels from the previous week; the US commercial crude oil inventory was 426.691 million barrels, an increase of 7.7 million barrels from the previous week; the total US gasoline inventory was 228.405 million barrels, a decrease of 2.73 million barrels from the previous week; the distillate oil inventory was 113.536 million barrels, an increase of 3.64 million barrels from the previous week. The crude oil inventory in Cushing, Oklahoma, was 22.553 million barrels, an increase of 0.69 million barrels. The US strategic petroleum reserve was 402.741 million barrels, an increase of 0.24 million barrels. The crude oil inventory was 1.47% lower than the same period last year and 6% lower than the average of the past five years; the gasoline inventory was 2.08% higher than the same period last year and 1% lower than the average of the past five years; the distillate oil inventory was 10.49% lower than the same period last year and 16% lower than the average of the past five years [8] - As of the week ending July 25, the US daily crude oil production was 13.314 million barrels, an increase of 41,000 barrels from the previous week and an increase of 14,000 barrels from the same period last year; the total processing volume of US refineries was 16.911 million barrels per day on average, a decrease of 25,000 barrels from the previous week; the refinery utilization rate was 95.4%, a decrease of 0.1 percentage points from the previous week [8] - The increase in the US EIA crude oil inventory in the week ending July 25 was the largest since the week ending January 31, 2025. The decrease in the US EIA gasoline inventory in the week ending July 25 was the largest since the week ending April 25, 2025. The increase in domestic crude oil production in the week ending July 25 was the largest since the week ending March 7, 2025 [9]

Industry Investment Rating - The short - term oil price is expected to fluctuate within a range, and a medium - term short - position allocation is recommended [3] Core View - As the summer power generation demand declines, Middle - East crude oil exports will gradually increase. With the end of summer, the power generation demand in the Middle East and the peak travel season in the Northern Hemisphere will decline. Starting from September, due to Saudi Arabia's production increase and reduced direct - burning of crude oil for power generation, the growth of Middle - East crude oil exports will be more obvious. The current export volume has exceeded 17 million barrels per day and is expected to increase to 18 million barrels per day before October [2] Summary by Related Catalogs Market News and Important Data - The price of light crude oil futures for September delivery on the New York Mercantile Exchange fell 74 cents to $69.26 per barrel, a decline of 1.06%. The price of Brent crude oil futures for September delivery fell 71 cents to $72.53 per barrel, a decline of 0.97%. The main SC crude oil contract closed down 0.71% at 528 yuan per barrel [1] - Iran has set new conditions for restarting nuclear talks with the Trump administration. The Iranian Foreign Minister said the US must compensate for the losses during the Iran - Israel conflict last month, explain its attack during the talks, and guarantee no similar attacks in the future [1] - Indian state - owned refiners stopped buying Russian oil last week due to reduced discounts and Trump's tariff threats [1] - President Trump said the fastest way to end the Gaza humanitarian crisis is for Hamas to surrender and release hostages [1] - In the fourth quarter, Asia is expected to increase imports of US WTI crude oil because the price increase of Middle - East crude oil has opened an arbitrage window. Western Oil has sold WTI crude oil to Japan's Taiyo Oil at a premium of about $3.50 per barrel over the October Dubai crude oil quote for October delivery [1] Investment Logic - As the end of summer approaches, the power generation demand in the Middle East and the peak travel season in the Northern Hemisphere will decline. Starting from September, due to Saudi Arabia's production increase and reduced direct - burning of crude oil for power generation, the growth of Middle - East crude oil exports will be more obvious. The current export volume has exceeded 17 million barrels per day and is expected to increase to 18 million barrels per day before October, unless Saudi Arabia deliberately controls exports. The impact of the maintenance of the Upper Zakum oil field in the UAE is limited [2] Strategy - The short - term oil price is expected to fluctuate within a range, and a medium - term short - position allocation is recommended [3] Risks - Downside risks include the US relaxing sanctions on Iranian oil and macro black - swan events [3] - Upside risks include the US tightening sanctions on Russian oil and large - scale supply disruptions caused by Middle - East conflicts [3]

Core Viewpoint - Asian countries are expected to increase imports of US WTI crude oil in Q4 due to rising Middle Eastern oil prices, which have created an arbitrage opportunity [1] Group 1: Market Dynamics - The price of Middle Eastern crude oil, specifically Dubai and Murban benchmarks, has risen, leading to a narrowing price gap with low-sulfur light US WTI crude oil [1] - Strong demand for high-sulfur crude oil in Asia has contributed to the increased interest in US WTI imports [1] Group 2: Trade Activity - A notable arbitrage window for WTI crude oil has been open for Asian markets, particularly for shipments arriving in early November [1] - Western oil producers, such as Occidental Petroleum, have sold WTI crude oil to Japanese refiners like Taiyo Oil at a premium of approximately $3.50 per barrel over the October Dubai crude oil price [1]

Group 1: Report Overview - Research variety: Crude oil [1] - Report cycle: Weekly [1] - Report date: June 22, 2025 [1] - Researcher: He Ning, Qualification No.: F0238922; Investment consulting certificate No.: Z0001219 [1] Group 2: Core Views - From June 16 - 22, 2025, Brent crude oil futures fluctuated upward with a weekly increase of 2.5%, reaching a nearly 5 - month high of $79.04 per barrel. Geopolitical risks were the core driving factor, and the summer demand peak season and OPEC+ supply strategy adjustment also supported the price. The market showed dual characteristics of "risk - premium dominance and fundamental support" [3] Group 3: Futures Market Overview - From June 16 - 20, 2025, the Brent crude oil futures August contract closed at $77.32 per barrel last Friday with a weekly amplitude of 3.43%.

Group 1 - The spread between Brent crude oil and Dubai crude oil has reached its highest level since September 2023 [1]

Report Summary 1. Investment Rating No investment rating for the industry is provided in the report. 2. Core View - This week, oil prices showed a strong performance, with the fundamentals tightening on a sequential basis, concerns over geopolitical risks escalating, greater fluctuations in crude oil spreads, and rising absolute prices. WTI outperformed Brent and Dubai. Fundamentally, global oil inventories increased, while the drawdown of US commercial inventories exceeded expectations, and the number of US oil rigs dropped significantly. On the negative side, leading data from the US job market indicated a cooling trend, the latest apparent demand for US gasoline and diesel declined sharply. Attention should be paid to the sustainability of end - product demand. This week, refining margins in Europe and the US declined on a sequential basis, while those in Asia remained high. Saudi Arabia and other countries lowered their official selling prices to Asia in July to multi - year lows, and there were market rumors that Saudi Arabia intended to push OPEC+ to continue increasing production by at least 411,000 barrels per day in August and September to consolidate market share. Recently, the valuation repair of Brent and WTI crude oil has been realized, and the focus has shifted to whether geopolitical risks (such as the US - Iran and Israel - Palestine situations) will escalate substantially. High - selling opportunities for absolute prices can be monitored [5]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Market Data - From May 30 to June 6, 2025, WTI increased by $1.21, Brent by $1.13, and Dubai by $0.97. Other indicators such as spreads and refined product prices also showed corresponding changes. For example, the BRENT 1 - 2 month spread increased by $0.15, and the RBOB - BRT decreased by $0.54 [3]. 3.2 Daily News - As of June 3, Brent crude oil speculators increased their net long positions by 8,813 lots to 167,763 lots, reaching a two - month high [3]. - On June 6, the US Treasury imposed a new round of sanctions on Iran, targeting 10 individuals and 27 entities, as well as some entities in the UAE and Asia [4]. - HSBC Research stated that OPEC+ is expected to agree to two significant production increases in August and September, raising daily production by 41,000 barrels and 274,000 barrels respectively. It is also expected that the voluntary production cut of 2.2 million barrels per day will be fully lifted by the end of 2025. However, there is an increased downside risk to the forecast of Brent crude oil at $65 per barrel in Q4 2025 due to weak fundamentals after the summer production increase [4]. 3.3 Regional Fundamentals - In the week of May 23, US crude oil exports increased by 794,000 barrels per day to 4.301 million barrels per day, domestic production increased by 900 barrels to 13.401 million barrels per day, commercial crude inventories (excluding strategic reserves) decreased by 2.795 million barrels to 440 million barrels (a 0.63% decline), and the strategic petroleum reserve (SPR) inventory increased by 820,000 barrels to 401.3 million barrels (a 0.2% increase) [4][5]. - This week, the operating rate of major refineries in China decreased, while that of Shandong local refineries increased. The production of gasoline and diesel in China both increased, with production from major refineries rising and that from independent refineries falling. The sales - to - production ratio of gasoline increased, while that of diesel decreased. Gasoline and diesel inventories decreased significantly. The comprehensive profit of major refineries rebounded on a sequential basis, and that of local refineries improved [5].
