The crude oil market continues to decline. On the one hand, the geopolitical situation has eased, which is bearish for the crude oil market. In addition, the strengthening of the US dollar has affected economic activity in the United States due to hurricanes, putting pressure on crude oil demand and causing signs of a slowdown in US crude oil exports. On the other hand, there are also signs of slowing economic growth in the Eurozone and China, especially the decline in China's crude oil imports, which has had a negative impact on the crude oil market.

In terms of international fuel oil, it is reported that the Singapore Enterprise Development Board (ESG) stated that as of the week ending July 24th, Singapore's fuel oil inventories decreased by 277,000 barrels to a two-week low of 19.855 million barrels, which is the lowest level in the past two weeks.
