The demand is driven by pre - holiday restocking, but overseas macro factors still impact copper prices, and copper prices fluctuate narrowly [9] - **Crude Oil**: The peak travel season for crude oil is over. The overall oil inventory in the US has increased, and the refinery operating rate has declined. OPEC+ will implement a production adjustment in October 2025, which will increase the pressure on crude oil in the fourth quarter. The price of Saudi Aramco's flagship product has been cut.

New production capacity is being put into operation, and the demand in the peak season is less than expected. It is expected that plastic will oscillate [15][16] - **PVC**: The PVC开工率 has decreased, and the downstream operating rate has increased. The export expectation has weakened, and the inventory pressure is large. The real - estate market is still in adjustment. The cost support is strengthening, and it is expected that PVC will be under pressure and decline [17] - **Urea**: Urea opened high and moved low, with a slightly strong oscillation. The spot sentiment has improved slightly, but the price is still weak. The daily production has recovered, and the demand is mainly for pre - holiday restocking.

Summary by Related Content Supply - side Factors - Iraq's Oil Ministry will restart the export of crude oil from the Kurdish region on Tuesday, which is expected to increase Iraq's crude oil exports by 300,000 - 400,000 barrels per day [1][2] - OPEC+ is accelerating production increases. From October 2025, OPEC+ will implement a daily production adjustment of 137,000 barrels, and plans to continue to lift the voluntary production cut of 1.65 million barrels per day after lifting the first - layer additional voluntary production cut of 2.2 million barrels per day. In August, OPEC+ crude oil production was 42.4 million barrels per day, a month - on - month increase of 509,000 barrels per day. Kpler expects OPEC+ maritime exports to increase by more than 1.1 million barrels per day in September [2] - Kuwait will increase its crude oil production to 2.559 million barrels per day from October, with a production capacity of 3.2 million barrels per day [2] - The United States' crude oil production is basically stable, and new production capacities in countries such as Brazil, Guyana, and Norway have been put into operation, leading to a continuous increase in crude oil supply [2] Demand - side Factors - The peak season for crude oil travel is basically over. The EIA data shows that U.S. crude oil inventories have decreased by 9.285 million barrels unexpectedly, but refined oil inventories have increased unexpectedly, and overall oil product inventories continue to rise. The U.S. refinery's operating rate has dropped by 1.6 percentage points [3] - The weak U.S. non - farm payrolls data has raised concerns about crude oil demand [4] Other Factors - The Fed cut interest rates by 25 basis points in its September meeting, but Powell is still cautious about further rate cuts, and the macro - situation is temporarily stable [4] - The EU has passed a new round of sanctions against Russia, including sanctions on shadow tankers and setting a crude oil price cap at $47.6 per barrel. Attention should be paid to the progress of the Russia - Ukraine cease - fire agreement negotiation and Russia's crude oil export situation [4] - Chinese independent refineries have reduced ESPO purchases due to uncertain quotas [4]

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content Core Viewpoint of the Report - The supply-demand loosening logic continues. Although the futures price has support, there is no obvious upward driving force in the market. Attention should be paid to the progress and concentration of pre-holiday stocking [1] Summary According to Relevant Catalogs Strategy Analysis - The futures market opened lower and moved higher, closing flat within the day. The spot market remains weak, with limited improvement in trading after low-price order absorption, and there is still pressure to lower prices to attract orders. The daily urea production has risen to over 190,000 tons, and the high production is suppressing the urea price. The downstream is stocking up before the double festivals, mainly buying at low prices. The operating rate of compound fertilizer factories has increased, but the growth rate has slowed down. The terminal demand is weak, and the inventory of finished products in factories is high. The inventory in urea factories is increasing and is significantly higher than the same period in previous years [1] Futures and Spot Market Conditions - Futures: The urea main contract 2601 opened at 1,655 yuan/ton, opened lower and moved higher, closing flat within the day, and finally closed at 1,658 yuan/ton, up 0.00%. The trading volume was 304,900 lots, a decrease of 2,508 lots. Among the top 20 main positions, the long positions decreased by 3,030 lots, and the short positions decreased by 1,876 lots. Some futures companies had net long or net short positions changes [2] - Spot: The spot market remains weak. The ex-factory transaction price range of small-grain urea in Shandong, Henan, and Hebei is mostly between 1,560 and 1,600 yuan/ton. Some factories in Hebei have higher quotes and are mainly fulfilling export orders [1][5] Fundamental Tracking - Basis: The mainstream spot market quotation declined, and the futures closing price decreased. Based on the Henan region, the basis strengthened compared to the previous trading day, with the basis of the January contract at -38 yuan/ton, a decrease of 2 yuan/ton [9] - Supply Data: On September 23, 2025, the national daily urea production was 201,000 tons, an increase of 100 tons compared to the previous day, and the operating rate was 84.93% [11] Warehouse Receipt Data - On September 23, 2025, the number of urea warehouse receipts was 7,535, remaining unchanged compared to the previous trading day [3]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The investment rating for the plastics industry is to "wait and see" [1] 2. Core View of the Report - The plastics market opened lower and fluctuated. The start - up rate of plastics was at a neutral level, and the downstream start - up rate of PE increased slightly but was still at a relatively low level in the same period in recent years. The destocking of petrochemical enterprises in September was average, and the petrochemical inventory was at a neutral level. The cost of raw materials decreased due to the decline in crude oil prices. Although the agricultural film was entering the peak season, the peak season was not as good as expected. There was no actual anti - involution policy in the plastics industry, and it was recommended to wait and see [1] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Strategy Analysis - On September 23, the start - up rate of plastics remained at around 85%, a neutral level. The downstream start - up rate of PE increased by 0.75 percentage points to 42.92%. The agricultural film was entering the peak season, but the growth rate of orders and raw material inventory slowed down. Packaging film orders also increased. Petrochemical enterprises' destocking in September was average, and the inventory was at a neutral level. The cost of raw materials decreased as crude oil prices fell. A new 400,000 - ton/year capacity of Jilin Petrochemical HDPE was put into operation in late July, slightly reducing the plastics start - up rate. The peak season of agricultural film did not meet expectations, and there was no anti - involution policy, so it was recommended to wait and see [1] Futures Market - The plastics 2601 contract opened lower, increased positions and fluctuated. The lowest price was 7,090 yuan/ton, the highest was 7,128 yuan/ton, and it closed at 7,105 yuan/ton, down 0.67% below the 60 - day moving average. The position increased by 8,837 lots to 589,676 lots [2] Spot Market - Most of the PE spot market declined, with price changes ranging from - 80 to + 20 yuan/ton. LLDPE was quoted at 7,010 - 7,570 yuan/ton, LDPE at 9,350 - 9,630 yuan/ton, and HDPE at 7,430 - 8,150 yuan/ton [3] Fundamental Tracking - On the supply side, on September 23, the start - up rate of plastics remained at around 85%, a neutral level. On the demand side, as of the week of September 19, the downstream start - up rate of PE increased by 0.75 percentage points to 42.92%. The agricultural film was entering the peak season, but the overall downstream start - up rate of PE was still at a relatively low level in the same period in recent years. Petrochemical inventory decreased by 10,000 tons to 670,000 tons on Tuesday, 95,000 tons lower than the same period last year. The destocking of petrochemical enterprises in September was average, and the inventory was at a neutral level. The price of Brent crude oil's December contract dropped to 66 US dollars/barrel, and the prices of Northeast Asian and Southeast Asian ethylene remained flat at 840 US dollars/ton and 845 US dollars/ton respectively [4]

Report Overview - Report Date: September 23, 2025 [3] - Analysts: Wang Jing (F0235424/Z0000771), Su Miaoda (F03104403/Z0018167) [1] Market Summary Futures Market Performance - As of September 23 closing, most domestic futures main contracts declined. Beans No. 2, rapeseed meal, soybean meal, soybean oil, and caustic soda dropped over 3%; palm oil, polysilicon, and soda ash fell over 2.5%. Shanghai gold and silver rose over 1%. CSI 300 Index Futures (IF) main contract rose 0.25%, SSE 50 Index Futures (IH) rose 0.26%, CSI 500 Index Futures (IC) dropped 0.78%, and CSI 1000 Index Futures (IM) fell 1.16%. 2-year Treasury Bond Futures (TS) main contract fell 0.05%, 5-year (TF) fell 0.13%, 10-year (T) fell 0.21%, and 30-year (TL) fell 0.67% [6] Capital Flow - As of 15:15 on September 23, in terms of capital inflow to domestic futures main contracts, CSI 1000 2512 had an inflow of 5.797 billion, Shanghai Gold 2512 had 3.357 billion, and CSI 300 2512 had 3.343 billion. In terms of outflow, Rapeseed Oil 2601 had an outflow of 789 million, Soybean Oil 2601 had 489 million, and Palm Oil 2601 had 429 million [8] Core Views Copper - Shanghai copper opened low and moved lower, oscillating weakly. Supply of copper ore and refined copper is tight. As of September 19, China's spot TC was -40.64 dollars/dry ton, RC was -4.05 cents/pound, remaining weakly stable. Many smelters had maintenance in September, with small and medium - sized ones under profit pressure. In August, SMM China's electrolytic copper output was 1.1715 million tons, a 0.24% MoM decrease but a 15.59% YoY increase. Affected by policies, scrap copper supply will decline significantly in September, and electrolytic copper output is expected to drop sharply. In August, imported copper quantity decreased to 307,200 tons, a MoM decrease of 27,300 tons. Demand is driven by pre - holiday restocking, reducing SHFE inventory. Fundamentals are tight, demand is resilient, but overseas macro factors still impact Shanghai copper, leading to narrow price fluctuations [10] Crude Oil - The peak travel season for crude oil has ended. EIA data shows a significant unexpected draw in US crude oil inventories, but a larger - than - expected build in refined oil inventories, increasing overall oil product inventories and reducing US refinery operating rates by 1.6 percentage points. Starting from October 2025, OPEC+ will adjust production by 137,000 barrels per day from the additional voluntary cut of 1.65 million barrels per day announced in April 2023, increasing pressure in Q4. Saudi Aramco cut the price of its flagship Arabian Light crude oil for October shipments to Asia by 1 dollar/barrel. With geopolitical risks not escalating further, the end of the consumption peak season, weak US non - farm payroll data, and OPEC+ accelerating production increase, it is recommended to short on rallies [11][12] Asphalt - Last week, asphalt operating rate dropped 0.5 percentage points to 34.4%, still at a relatively low level in recent years. In September, domestic asphalt production is expected to reach 2.686 million tons, a MoM increase of 273,000 tons (11.3%) and a YoY increase of 683,000 tons (34.1%). Downstream operating rates rose, but road asphalt operating rate is still at the lowest level in recent years due to funds and weather. National shipments increased 31.10% MoM to 313,600 tons, at a neutral level. Refinery inventory decreased but is still at a low level in recent years. With new production and weather and fund constraints, supply surplus is intensifying, and with the recent decline in crude oil futures prices, asphalt cost support is weakening, and its futures price is expected to decline [13] PP - PP downstream operating rate rose 0.59 percentage points to 51.45%, at a relatively low level in the same period over the years. On September 23, new maintenance devices increased, and PP enterprise operating rate dropped to around 80%, at a neutral - low level. The proportion of standard - grade拉丝 production remained around 24.5%. Petrochemical enterprises' destocking in September was average, and petrochemical inventory is at a neutral level in recent years. With the Fed's 25 - basis - point rate cut, increased US distillate inventories, and expected increased Iraqi crude oil exports, crude oil prices fell. New capacity has been put into operation, and maintenance devices have increased recently. Although downstream is entering the peak season, current peak - season demand is lower than expected, and there is no large - scale centralized procurement. It is recommended to wait and see [14][15] Plastic - On September 23, there were few changes in maintenance devices, and the plastic operating rate remained around 85%, at a neutral level. PE downstream operating rate rose 0.75 percentage points to 42.92%. The agricultural film industry is entering the peak season, with increasing orders and raw material inventories but at a slower pace. Petrochemical enterprises' destocking in September was average, and petrochemical inventory is at a neutral level in recent years. With the Fed's rate cut and expected increased Iraqi crude oil exports, crude oil prices declined. New capacity has been put into operation, and the plastic operating rate has decreased. Although the agricultural film peak season is coming, the peak - season effect is not as expected. It is recommended to wait and see [16] PVC - The price of upstream calcium carbide in the northwest region is stable. PVC operating rate decreased 2.98 percentage points to 76.96%, at a neutral - high level in recent years. In the peak season, PVC downstream operating rate continued to increase, exceeding last year's level but still low compared to other years. India postponed the BIS policy for six months to December 24, 2025. Chinese PVC exports are expected to weaken in Q4, but export orders have increased recently. Social inventory continued to rise and is still high. The real estate market is still in adjustment. New capacity has been put into operation. With cost support strengthening and pre - holiday downstream stocking, but new production resuming and a low basis, PVC is expected to face downward pressure [18] Urea - Urea opened low and moved high, closing flat. The spot market remains weak, with limited improvement in sales after price cuts. Urea daily output has returned to over 190,000 tons. Before the holidays, downstream buyers stock up at low prices, and industrial demand is mainly for rigid needs. The compound fertilizer factory operating rate increased but at a slower pace, with high finished - product inventory. Urea factory inventory is increasing and is much higher than in previous years. The supply - demand situation remains loose, and it is necessary to monitor the progress and intensity of pre - holiday stocking [19][20]
