1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Short - term outlook: Hold [1] 2. Core Viewpoints - In the medium - term, it is likely that the asphalt valuation will decline in the second half of the year. The return of major refinery production capacity and the seasonal off - peak valuation period are expected to limit the upward space of asphalt valuation. The weak and volatile cost side of crude oil will also restrict the upward space of asphalt's unilateral price [16]. - In the short - term, due to Venezuela's ongoing production increase and the release of its maritime inventory, which will suppress asphalt prices, it is recommended to take a wait - and - see approach [17]. 3.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The report anticipates that the valuation of asphalt may decline in the second half of the year. The current operating rate of independent refineries is at a low level with limited downward space. The combination of the return of major refinery capacity and the seasonal off - peak valuation period is expected to restrict the upward space of asphalt valuation, and the weak oscillation of crude oil at the cost end will also limit the upward space of asphalt's single - sided price [15]. - In the short term, the weakness of asphalt persists, but the marginal contradiction between supply and demand has eased, so it is recommended to wait and see [16]. 3. Summary According to the Table of Contents 3.1 Monthly Assessment and Strategy Recommendation - **Market Review**: The price trend of the asphalt main contract from January to December 2025 is affected by supply - demand and cost factors. There are fluctuations such as supply - demand increase, cost decrease, and supply - demand decrease at different times [13][14]. - **Mid - term Impact Factor Assessment**: In terms of supply, imports are expected to remain low, major refineries are expected to resume some operations, restricting the upward movement of asphalt valuation, while independent refineries will remain relatively sluggish in the short - to - medium term.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Views of the Report - Mid - term: The report believes that it is highly likely for asphalt valuation to decline in the second half of the year. The current operation rate of independent refineries is at a low level, with limited room for further decline. The return of major refinery production capacity and the seasonal off - peak valuation period will restrict the upward space of asphalt valuation (asphalt/crude oil), and the weak shock of crude oil at the cost end will also limit the upward space of asphalt's single - side price [16]. - Short - term: The weakness of asphalt has been gradually realized, and the supply - demand contradiction is relatively small in the short term. It is recommended to wait and see [17]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Monthly Evaluation and Strategy Recommendation - **Market Review**: The report presents the recent trend chart of the asphalt main contract, and analyzes the influence of supply - demand and cost factors on the price [13][14]. - **Mid - term Impact Factor Assessment**: - **Supply**: Import is expected to remain low. Major refineries are expected to resume a certain operating rate, which will restrict the upward movement of asphalt valuation. However, for the valuation to decline, local refineries need to significantly recover, and they are expected to remain relatively sluggish in the short - to - medium term [16]. - **Demand**: The demand - side operation rate has improved slightly compared with previous years, but the overall asphalt shipment volume is lower than expected. The infrastructure peak season has passed, and the overall demand is expected to be flat [16]. - **Cost**: The upward space of oil prices in the second half of the year is limited. With the gradual increase in production by OPEC, the wide - range shock center of oil prices is expected to move down slightly.
