Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints PTA - Cost side: The expectation of supply-demand surplus remains, but it will take time for the surplus pressure to materialize. Oil prices are expected to fluctuate within a range. The increase in PX due to the restart of short - process production at home and abroad and the postponement of some device maintenance is significant. With the compression of PTA profit margins, the postponement of new device launches and clear maintenance plans will further affect PX demand. PXN is expected to show a weak performance, and the cost support is average. - Supply - demand: In October, INEOS and Hengli have maintenance plans, and the restart time of Yisheng Dalian and Hainan is undetermined, so the supply - side operating rate is average. After the sales volume increased in late September, the significant decline in polyester factory inventory may delay the expected reduction in polyester production, and the supply - demand is expected to be in a tight - balance state [5]. MEG - Before the holiday: Driven by the rebound in demand and oil prices, the polyester market was booming, the inventory of POY and FDY in the pre - spinning of filament yarn decreased rapidly, and prices rebounded by 100 - 150 yuan. During the holiday, polyester prices were stable, and the sales volume of filament yarn was only 10% - 20%. It is expected that the inventory will increase by more than 5 days in 8 days on average. - Future outlook: With the successful launch of Yulong Petrochemical, ethylene glycol has entered a new launch cycle. The fundamental structure of ethylene glycol is weak in the fourth quarter. The inventory is expected to increase by about 70,000 - 80,000 tons in October. Attention should be paid to the implementation of maintenance plans for devices such as Fulaian and Shenghong. The inventory increase will be more obvious from November to December, and there is also an expectation of new device launches in the far - month, so attention should be paid to the macro - level and device changes [7]. Summary by Directory 1. Previous Day's Review No relevant content provided. 2. Daily Tips PTA - Fundamental: During the National Day and Mid - Autumn Festival holidays, the PTA market showed a pattern of "weak supply and demand, price under pressure", with unstable cost support, loose supply, and the recovery of downstream demand falling short of expectations [6]. - Basis: The spot price is 4545, and the basis of the 01 contract is - 49, with the futures price higher than the spot price [6]. - Inventory: The inventory of PTA factories is 3.75 days, a decrease of 0.05 days compared to the previous period [6]. - Market: The 20 - day moving average is downward, and the closing price is below the 20 - day moving average [6]. - Main position: Net short position, and short positions are increasing [6]. MEG - Fundamental: Before the holiday, driven by the rebound in demand and oil prices, the polyester market was booming, and the inventory of POY and FDY in the pre - spinning of filament yarn decreased rapidly to about half a month, and prices rebounded by 100 - 150 yuan. During the holiday, polyester prices were stable, and the sales volume of filament yarn was only 10% - 20%. It is expected that the inventory will increase by more than 5 days in 8 days on average. In terms of polyester load, attention should be paid to whether bottle chips will restart in October. Due to the improvement in pre - holiday sales, the inventory of filament yarn has decreased significantly, and the short - term pressure to further reduce production is not large, but the physical inventory still has pressure. From November to December, attention should be paid to demand changes, and filament yarn and chips may still reduce production [7]. - Basis: The spot price is 4275, and the basis of the 01 contract is 68, with the spot price higher than the futures price [8]. - Inventory: The total inventory in East China is 404,300 tons, an increase of 22,600 tons compared to the previous period [8]. - Market: The 20 - day moving average is downward, and the closing price is below the 20 - day moving average [8]. - Main position: Net short position, and short positions are decreasing [7]. 3.

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content Core Viewpoints - The report anticipates limited fluctuations in the domestic methanol market this week as trading slows down approaching the long holiday. Inland, high downstream raw material inventories may lead to reduced procurement, and tightened transportation capacity may prompt traders to stay on the sidelines. Upstream methanol plants have low inventories due to significant external procurement by northwest CTO plants, with no pre - holiday inventory clearance needs. The inland market is expected to have a quiet consolidation. At ports, bears still hold the upper hand, and the pre - holiday methanol market price may maintain a volatile adjustment. In October, there are significant variables, mainly whether some Iranian plants will undergo scheduled maintenance, the reduction in shipping volume, and the degree of port inventory depletion. With marginal improvements in fundamentals, attention should be paid to low - buying opportunities in the port market under speculation.

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided on the industry investment rating. 2. Core Viewpoints - The fuel oil market is expected to show a range - bound oscillation pattern. Ample inventory levels may curb any significant increase in spot valuations. With upstream crude oil prices falling due to geopolitical events, fuel oil prices are under pressure and are expected to operate at a low level today. Specifically, FU2601 is expected to trade in the range of 2820 - 2880, and LU2511 in the range of 3360 - 3420 [3]. - The supply of blending raw materials is sufficient, but traders expect no oversupply of 0.5% sulfur - compliant low - sulfur fuel oil in the downstream marine fuel supply. However, the crack spread of low - sulfur fuel oil has been weak since early September. The high - sulfur fuel oil market may face pressure from concentrated arrivals of arbitrage cargoes from late September to early October, which may exacerbate the already ample inventory levels at the Singapore hub [3]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Daily Prompt - The fuel oil market is expected to be range - bound. FU2601 is expected to operate between 2820 - 2880, and LU2511 between 3360 - 3420. The market is under pressure from upstream crude oil price drops and ample inventories [3]. 3.2 Long - Short Focus - Bullish factors: Not clearly stated. - Bearish factors: The demand side's optimism remains to be verified. There are risks such as potential intensification of sanctions against Russia and the extension of Russia's fuel oil export restrictions [4]. 3.3 Fundamental Data - **Supply - demand situation**: The supply of blending raw materials is sufficient, but there is no expected oversupply of low - sulfur fuel oil in the downstream. The high - sulfur fuel oil market may face pressure from concentrated cargo arrivals [3]. - **Basis**: The basis of Singapore high - sulfur fuel oil is 117 yuan/ton, and that of low - sulfur fuel oil is 64 yuan/ton, with the spot price higher than the futures price [3]. - **Inventory**: Singapore's fuel oil inventory in the week of September 24 was 2316.9 million barrels, an increase of 1 million barrels [3][8]. - **Market trend**: Prices are above the 20 - day moving average, which is flat [3]. - **Main positions**: High - sulfur main positions are long, with a reduction in long positions; low - sulfur main positions are short, with an increase in short positions [3]. 3.4 Spread Data No specific analysis of spread data is provided in the text. 3.5 Inventory Data - Singapore fuel oil inventory data from July 16 to September 24 shows fluctuations, with an inventory of 2316.9 million barrels on September 24, an increase of 1 million barrels compared to the previous period [8].
