Report Industry Investment Ratings - No specific industry investment ratings are provided in the report. Core Views of the Report - The current macro - level is in a relatively vacuum period, A - shares lack a clear upward main line, market trading volume remains low, and stock indices continue to fluctuate, while having strong support below due to policy protection and abundant macro - liquidity [1]. - Asset shortage and weak economy are beneficial to bond futures, but the central bank's short - term reminder of interest rate risks suppresses the upward space [1]. Summaries According to Related Catalogs Macro Finance - **Stock Index**: A - shares lack a clear upward main line, trading volume is low, and the index fluctuates while having strong support below [1]. - **Treasury Bonds**: Asset shortage and weak economy are beneficial to bond futures, but short - term interest rate risk warnings suppress the upward space [1]. Non - ferrous Metals - **Copper**: High prices suppress downstream demand, and market risk preference declines, but the downward space is expected to be limited [1]. - **Aluminum**: The industrial driving force is limited in the near term, and the price maintains high - level fluctuations [1]. - **Alumina**: Domestic production capacity continues to be released, production and inventory increase, and the fundamentals are weak. Attention should be paid to cost support [1]. - **Zinc**: LME inventory continues to decline, and the risk of cornering the market drives the price up. The price is expected to remain high, but chasing high prices requires caution due to domestic over - supply [1]. - **Nickel**: The short - term price may rebound with fluctuations, but beware of high inventory suppression. The long - term pattern of primary nickel is over - supply [1]. - **Stainless Steel**: The social inventory has slightly decreased, and the production schedule in October is stable. The futures price fluctuates at the bottom, and short - term operations are recommended [1]. - **Tin**: In the long - term, pay attention to the opportunity of buying on dips [1]. Precious Metals and New Energy - **Precious Metals**: They are expected to continue to fluctuate in a range in the short term, with support below. Pay attention to the progress of the US government shutdown and Trump's tariff ruling [1]. - **Industrial Silicon**: Northwest production capacity resumes, southwest start - up is weaker than usual, and the impact of the dry season weakens. Polysilicon production in November decreases [1]. - **Lithium Carbonate**: It fluctuates. The traditional peak season for new energy vehicles is coming, energy storage demand is strong, but the hedging pressure is large [1]. Ferrous Metals - **Rebar**: There are concerns about potential weakening of industrial demand in the off - season. After the realization of macro - sentiment, pay attention to the upward pressure [1]. - **Hot - Rolled Coil**: The off - season effect is not obvious, but the industrial structure is still loose. Pay attention to the upward pressure on the price after the realization of macro - sentiment [1]. - **Iron Ore**: The near - month contract is restricted by production cuts, but the far - month has upward opportunities [1]. - **Glass**: Supply and demand are supportive, the valuation is low, but short - term sentiment dominates and the price fluctuates strongly [1]. - **Soda Ash**: It follows glass, but the supply and demand are average, and the upward resistance of the price is large [1]. - **Coking Coal and Coke**: Coking coal's trend is tangled near the previous high, and coke's high - point price includes the expectation of five rounds of price increases. The steel - coke game is intense, and the price may return to the shock range [1]. Agricultural Products - **Palm Oil**: It still faces the dual pressures of seasonal production increase and weak exports in the short term. A rebound may occur if export data improves in November [1]. - **Soybean Oil**: The purchase of US soybeans by China may bring a loose expectation, and the rebound momentum is insufficient [1]. - **Rapeseed Oil**: The meeting between Chinese and Canadian leaders brings a relaxation expectation, and the bumper harvest of Canadian rapeseed presses the price [1]. - **Cotton**: The new - year cotton demand is uncertain. The downward space of the futures price is limited, but the basis and the futures price may be under pressure [1]. - **Sugar**: The price has seasonal upward momentum in the short term, but the rebound space is expected to be limited after the new sugar is listed [1]. - **Corn**: The supply still faces selling pressure, and the short - term price is expected to fluctuate at a low level, with a medium - to - long - term rebound expected [1]. - **Soybeans**: The domestic soybean futures are expected to follow the US market and fluctuate strongly in the short term, but the global supply pattern restricts the rebound height [1]. - **Paper Pulp**: The trading logic is about the old warehouse receipts of the 11 - contract. The downward pressure on the futures price is large, and a 11 - 1 reverse spread is recommended [1]. - **Hogs**: The futures price follows the spot price and stabilizes and then weakens. There is still pressure on the supply in November [1]. Energy and Chemicals - **Fuel Oil**: OPEC+ plans to maintain a small increase in production in December, geopolitical speculation cools down, and market sentiment eases [1]. - **Asphalt**: The short - term supply - demand contradiction is not prominent, and it follows crude oil.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The investment view on the synthetic rubber industry is bearish. The significant decline in butadiene prices has deepened market pessimism, causing a sharp drop in the futures price. Attention should be paid to the adjustment rhythm of spot prices and the price guidance of natural rubber [2]. 2. Core View of the Report - Low - priced butadiene is the main factor affecting the market. The sharp decline in butadiene prices has led to a pessimistic market sentiment, and the futures price of butadiene rubber has dropped significantly. Although there are some changes in supply and demand, the overall market is under pressure from cost - side factors [2]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs 3.1 Market Review - As of November 6, 2025, the ex - factory price of Sinopec's BR9000 was 10,200 yuan/ton, and that of PetroChina's main sales companies was between 10,200 - 10,300 yuan/ton. The listed price of PetroChina's Southwest sales company was 10,600 yuan/ton. This week, although the butadiene rubber plant of Sichuan Petrochemical restarted, due to the impact of the decline in butadiene prices, the ex - factory prices of Sinopec and PetroChina's butadiene rubber decreased by 800 yuan/ton, and the price of private resources in Shandong fell below 10,000 yuan/ton [2][5]. 3.2 Supply and Demand Analysis 3.2.1 Supply - Last week, the domestic butadiene production was 10.92 million tons, with a capacity utilization rate of 4.85%. The production of high - cis butadiene rubber was 2.69 million tons, with a capacity utilization rate of - 6.71%. Some butadiene plants such as Nanjing Chengzhi, Sierbang, and Yanshan Petrochemical remained shut down, while some plants like Beifang Huajin and Qilu Petrochemical resumed production. In the butadiene rubber sector, the plant of Sichuan Petrochemical restarted, and those of Yangzi Petrochemical and Zhejiang Petrochemical were under maintenance [2]. 3.2.2 Demand - In the semi - steel tire market, the sales of four - season tires were mediocre. The northern market entered the off - season, while the southern market provided some support. In the snow - tire market, the channel inventory was sufficient, waiting for the rise of terminal demand. In the all - steel tire market, the transaction price remained stable. Some manufacturers recovered 1 - 2 points of previous promotional policies in November, and there was a possibility of price increases in the future [2]. 3.2.3 Inventory - Last week, the butadiene port inventory was 2.98 million tons, a decrease of 6.88% compared to the previous week. The inventory of high - cis butadiene rubber enterprises and traders was 2.929 million tons, a decrease of 5.15%. Some butadiene plants resumed production, and the inventory of some suppliers increased. There were imported cargoes arriving at the port, but the short - term tradable volume was limited [2]. 3.3 Price Analysis - The prices of synthetic rubber products such as butadiene, butadiene rubber, and styrene - butadiene rubber all showed a downward trend. For example, the ex - factory price of butadiene from Dalian Hengli decreased by 900 yuan/ton compared to the previous week, a decline of 12.15% [7]. 3.4 Correlation Analysis - The report provides the correlation coefficient heat maps of the price trends of crude oil, synthetic rubber, and natural rubber - related varieties for 1 - month and 3 - month periods, showing the relationships between different varieties [8]. 3.5 Device Analysis - It details the maintenance and operation status of butadiene and high - cis butadiene rubber plants in China in 2025, including the maintenance time, capacity, and future plans of each plant [9]. 3.6 Transaction Strategy - For single - side trading, there is no recommended strategy. For arbitrage, attention should be paid to the strategy of going long on BR and short on NR/RU. Key factors to monitor include downstream demand, cost changes, plant maintenance, and geopolitical situations [2].

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - On November 7, concerns about the slowdown of economic growth boosted the precious metal prices, and the continuous increase of China's gold reserves by the central bank supported the gold price. However, due to the Senate Democrats' proposal to extend the AIA subsidy and the Fed officials' cautious attitude towards December interest - rate cuts, the upward momentum of precious metal prices was limited. It is expected that the short - term precious metal prices will maintain a range - bound oscillation, but there is still upward space in the long term. Long - term investors are advised to allocate on dips [3][4]. - In the medium - to - long - term, the Fed is still in an interest - rate cut cycle. Global geopolitical uncertainties, unsustainable US debt, and intensified great - power competition will increase the credit risk of the US dollar. Global central banks' gold purchases continue, so the medium - to - long - term center of gold prices is likely to move up [3][4]. Group 3: Summary by Relevant Catalogs 1.

Industry Investment Rating - No relevant information provided Core Viewpoints - Gasoline profit and low benzene prices jointly support PX. The gasoline crack spread has risen above $15, prompting refineries to prioritize gasoline production and reduce feedstock for aromatics units. The processing fee of PTA has been compressed to less than 200 again. Industry profits are still constrained by overcapacity due to new plant commissions. Although the peak seasons of "Golden September and Silver October" are over, export demand may improve under the background of the easing of the Sino - US trade war. The downstream weaving has performed well recently, and the current peak season is expected to last until November. It is necessary to pay attention to whether the reduction of Sino - US tariffs can further stimulate domestic exports. Bottle chips and staple fibers follow the cost [2] Summary by Related Indicators Spot Price Changes - PTA spot price increased from 4540 to 4575, up 35 [2] - MEG internal price increased from 3972 to 4013, up 41 [2] - PTA closing price decreased from 4688 to 4664, down 24 [2] - MEG closing price increased from 3924 to 3942, up 18 [2] - 1.4D direct - spun polyester staple fiber price increased from 6380 to 6415, up 35 [2] - Short - fiber basis decreased from 135 to 122, down 13 [2] - 12 - 1 spread decreased from 34 to 38, down 4 [2] - Polyester staple fiber cash flow increased from 240 to 246, up 6 [2] - 1.4D imitation large - chemical fiber price remained unchanged at 5400 [2] - The price difference between 1.4D direct - spun and imitation large - chemical fiber increased from 980 to 1015, up 35 [2] - East China water bottle chip price decreased from 5700 to 5698, down 2 [2] - Hot - filled polyester bottle chip price decreased from 5700 to 5698, down 2 [2] - Carbonated - grade polyester bottle chip price decreased from 5800 to 5798, down 2 [2] - Outer - market water bottle chip price remained unchanged at 760 [2] - Bottle chip spot processing fee decreased from 488 to 442, down 45.66 [2] - T32S pure polyester yarn price remained unchanged at 10310 [2] - T32S pure polyester yarn processing fee decreased from 3930 to 3865, down 35 [2] - Polyester - cotton yarn 65/35 45S price remained unchanged at 16300 [2] - Cotton 328 price decreased from 14490 to 14465, down 25 [2] - Polyester - cotton yarn profit decreased from 1593 to 1579, down 13.75 [2] - Primary three - dimensional hollow (with silicon) price remained unchanged at 7020 [2] - Hollow staple fiber 6 - 15D cash flow decreased from 608 to 564, down 43.66 [2] - Primary low - melting - point staple fiber price remained unchanged at 7480 [2] Operating Rate and Sales Rate - Direct - spun staple fiber load (weekly) increased from 93.90% to 94.40%, up 0.01 [3] - Polyester staple fiber sales rate decreased from 86.00% to 48.00%, down 38.00% [3] - Polyester yarn startup rate (weekly) remained unchanged at 63.50% [3] - Regenerated cotton - type load index (weekly) increased from 51.00% to 51.50%, up 0.01 [3]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The report does not explicitly mention the industry investment rating. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The LPG futures market is expected to continue its oscillatory consolidation this week due to coastal cooling and increasing chemical demand. There are still traditional heating expectations in the market, causing the far - month prices to be stronger and the monthly spread to decline. The PG - SC ratio remains high. In the short term, the driving logic of PG is unclear, and the fundamentals remain tight. Attention should be paid to the price trends of crude oil and natural gas, as well as overseas fundamental changes [4]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Energy Chemical Product Price Monitoring - The report provides the closing price, daily, weekly, monthly, and annual price changes of various energy - chemical products, including exchange rates, precious metals, crude oil, and chemical products. For example, the current price of LPG is 4272 yuan/ton, with a daily increase of 0.16%, a weekly decrease of 0.49%, a monthly increase of 4.96%, and an annual decrease of 3.09% [3]. 3.2 LPG Market Analysis 3.2.1 Supply - Last week, the total commercial volume of LPG decreased by 2.19% to about 519,000 tons, with industrial gas at 58,000 tons (-1.77%), and civil gas at 173,000 tons (-1.21%). The arrival volume of LPG was 72,000 tons (-29.35%). Some enterprises in Shandong and North China carried out device maintenance, and only one enterprise in the Northeast resumed production, leading to a decline in domestic commercial volume. International prices generally fell, and due to poor chemical profits and tight supply - demand of non - US goods, some Chinese buyers intended to purchase US goods [4]. 3.2.2 Demand - In winter, the heating demand for LPG is gradually increasing, and the combustion demand is improving, with a slow recovery in overall demand. In the C4 deep - processing sector, the resumption of maleic anhydride units downstream of n - butane in November may drive up demand, but the profit of deep - processing units is under pressure, which restricts the rebound of raw material prices. In the isobutane sector, the operation of dehydrogenation units has improved the demand. In the propane deep - processing sector, demand has increased month - on - month, and the operating rate has returned to a high level, but recent sharp increases in raw material prices and unchanged terminal demand have led to continuous losses in device profits, dampening the enthusiasm of enterprises [4]. 3.2.3 Inventory - Last week, the LPG inventory in factories was 418,800 tons (-0.18%), and the port inventory was 298,000 tons (-3.65%). Refineries in various regions were generally stable. Some regions improved sales through price advantages, while others withheld sales due to low - supply expectations. Port arrivals decreased, and with the improvement of chemical demand as the temperature dropped, the overall demand increased, resulting in a significant reduction in port inventory [4]. 3.2.4 Basis and Position - The average weekly basis was 81.80 yuan/ton in East China, 94.20 yuan/ton in South China, and 150.20 yuan/ton in Shandong. The total number of LPG warehouse receipts increased by 250 to 4444 lots, and the lowest deliverable area was East China [4]. 3.2.5 Chemical Downstream - The operating rates of PDH, alkylation, and MTBE were 75.45%, 56.50%, and 41.60% respectively. The profits of PDH - made propylene, MTBE isomerization, and alkylation in Shandong were - 461 yuan/ton, - 679 yuan/ton, and - 151 yuan/ton respectively [4]. 3.2.6 Valuation - The PG - SC ratio was 1.27 (-0.90%), and the PG secondary - to - main monthly spread was 72 yuan/ton (-10.00%). In the fourth quarter, gas prices remained strong, while crude oil trended downward, and the oil - gas cracking spread maintained high - level oscillations [4]. 3.2.7 Other Factors - The Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee clarified the development goals and key tasks for the "15th Five - Year Plan" period. Positive progress was made in the China - US summit in Busan, with the US making a series of commitments to suspend or cancel tariffs, export controls, and industrial investigations against China. Military confrontation between the US and Venezuela intensified, and there were continuous market news disturbances. Russian energy facilities were attacked, and there were expectations of maintenance for some cracking units in Japan and South Korea. The US and Europe imposed sanctions on two Russian refineries, and India re - planned its energy procurement plan [4]. 3.3 Investment and Trading Strategies - Investment view: The LPG market is expected to oscillate. In the short term, the driving logic is unclear, and the fundamentals remain tight. - Trading strategy: For unilateral trading, it is recommended to wait and see; for arbitrage, go long on PG2604 and short on PG2603. Attention should be paid to China - US tariffs, US sanctions against Russia, freight rate changes, and device changes [4]. 3.4 Other Information - The report also provides information on LPG futures price trends, regional spot prices and basis, factory and PDH device maintenance plans, and various price spread data for different regions and products [5][8][9][10][12].

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings - Industrial Silicon: Oscillating [7] - Polysilicon: Oscillating [8] - Lithium Carbonate: Bullish [86] 2. Core Views of the Report - The market is pricing in the expectation of mine restart and continues to trade based on demand narratives. Industrial silicon and polysilicon are in a state of double - reduction in supply and demand in November, while lithium carbonate shows an increase in supply and strong demand [7][8][86]. - For industrial silicon, due to the dry season in the southwest, production is decreasing, and prices are expected to oscillate between 8200 - 9400. Polysilicon's production cut in November and the steady progress of capacity storage maintain the view of long - term improvement in fundamentals, with prices oscillating between 4.8 - 5.8. Lithium carbonate is bullish, but the upward trend depends on the supply - side restart situation [7][8][86]. 3. Summaries According to the Directory 3.1 Industrial Silicon (SI) - **Supply**: National weekly production is 9.10 tons, a 7.85% decrease from the previous week. In November, the planned production is 38.95 tons, a 13.88% decrease from the previous month.

Report Industry Investment Rating - The investment rating for the methanol industry is a weak and volatile outlook [2] Core Viewpoints of the Report - This week, the overall supply of methanol was abundant, with high inventory levels and slow de - stocking, exerting significant downward pressure on prices. The demand was weak and differentiated, providing only limited support to the market. Although the cost side was supported by relatively strong raw materials, the production profit was under pressure, and the support was limited. The market sentiment was generally cautious, and the short - term price was likely to continue the weak and volatile pattern. It is recommended to wait and see or seek opportunities within a certain range instead of aggressively short - selling [2] Summary by Relevant Catalogs Supply - This week, the domestic methanol supply remained abundant. The industry's operating load increased slightly, especially in the Northwest region. The capacity utilization rates of mainstream production processes such as coal - based and coke - oven gas - based methanol increased. Although some plants were newly shut down or continued to be out of operation, more plants resumed production, and the overall output showed an upward trend. The import volume was stable, and the port arrivals were sufficient. Coupled with the high previous inventory, the market supply was well - supported. Inland enterprises were eager to sell, and the flow of goods between ports and inland areas was smooth [2] Demand - This week, the downstream demand for methanol was generally weak and differentiated. The demand from the main downstream olefin (CTO/MTO) sector had some local support, and the purchasing willingness of some enterprises increased slightly. However, the overall industry operation did not improve significantly, and the incremental consumption of methanol was limited. The traditional downstream sectors performed differently. The operating loads of formaldehyde and MTBE increased slightly, while those of dimethyl ether and acetic acid decreased, and DMF remained stable. Most traditional products only met their rigid demand and had a weak willingness to increase purchases actively. The downstream buying interest at ports was insufficient, and although the local demand in inland areas improved slightly due to olefin procurement, it was not a widespread phenomenon. Overall, the demand side provided weak support to the methanol market [2] Inventory - This week, the methanol inventory was under high - level pressure. The port inventory remained at a historically high level. Although the unloading rhythm in some areas and the提货 volume in individual warehouses fluctuated slightly, the overall de - stocking speed was slow. With sufficient future arrivals, the port inventory pressure was not effectively relieved. The inventory in some ports in East China increased slightly, and that in South China adjusted slightly. The inland market inventory was differentiated. Most enterprises' inventories accumulated, while only a few regions saw a slight decline in inventory due to supply reduction caused by plant maintenance. Affected by sufficient supply, weak demand, and the back - flow of low - priced port goods, inland enterprises faced difficulties in selling, and the overall inventory remained at a relatively high level [2] Profit - This week, the overall profit of methanol was under pressure, and different production processes showed different performances. The profit of coal - based methanol shrank significantly as the rising price of raw coal pushed up production costs while the spot price of methanol declined, squeezing the profit margin. The profit of coke - oven gas - based methanol also decreased, and the loss of natural - gas - based methanol widened. The cost pressure was continuously transmitted to the production end. The profit of downstream sectors improved locally. Some products saw a slight improvement in profit due to the decline in methanol prices or their own supply - demand adjustments, but most downstream industries were still in the loss range, and the profit transmission in the entire industrial chain was not smooth, with no obvious improvement in the profitability [2] Macro and Geopolitical Factors - Iranian President Pezeshkian stated in a recent speech that the United States armed Israel while telling Iran not to have missiles or the right to self - defense. Iran does not want war but will not allow other countries to violate its rights. Pezeshkian also said that Iran has no intention of manufacturing nuclear weapons and is willing to negotiate within the framework of international law, but will not accept humiliation [2] Investment View - It is expected that the short - term price of methanol will continue the weak and volatile pattern. Attention should be paid to the inventory de - stocking rhythm and plant start - stop dynamics.

Core View of the Report - Near the new crops in the Northern Hemisphere and the listing of domestic cane sugar, Zhengzhou sugar is expected to be mainly volatile and weak. The large current import volume of raw sugar and the gradually released pressure of imported sugar arriving at ports, with an import cost of 5300 - 5400, suppress the futures market. In the domestic supply side, Yunnan sugar mills started the first pressing two days ago, and Guangxi sugar mills are expected to start mass - production in mid - to - late November, which may create new selling pressure. However, as the current futures market is close to the domestic sugar - making cost, it is expected to show a resistant decline before the listing of domestic new sugar [4] 3.

Report Summary 1. Industry Investment Ratings - No specific industry investment ratings are provided in the reports. 2. Core Views - **Steel**: The valuation of steel is not high, but the rebound driving force is insufficient. In the short - term, the macro - economic outlook may be in a vacuum, and the focus is on industrial contradictions. The steel price is unlikely to be further suppressed, but there is no strong driving force for price increases. The overall industrial logic is a gradual decline in steel production, with potential for a sector - wide resonance increase later [2]. - **Silicon Ferrosilicon and Manganese Silicon**: Market sentiment has declined, and prices are oscillating. The fundamentals have concerns such as high supply, large inventory de - stocking pressure, and weak downstream demand, so prices may be under pressure and oscillate [3][5]. - **Coking Coal and Coke**: The fourth round of price increases for coke has started, and the industrial pressure in the steel off - season has increased. The supply of coking coal is still tight, but the positive supply factors are weakening, and the negative demand factors are emerging. The sector is expected to be in a state of oscillation [6]. - **Iron Ore**: The short - term supply of iron ore is relatively strong, mainly due to arrival rhythms. With the decline in molten iron production, the port inventory of iron ore will continue to rise, and the previous short positions can be held [7]. 3. Summary by Category **Futures Market Data** - **Futures Closing Prices and Changes**: On November 7, for far - month contracts (RB2605, HC2605, etc.), prices showed various changes. For example, RB2605 closed at 3095 yuan/ton, down 1 yuan (- 0.03%); for near - month contracts (RB2601, HC2601, etc.), RB2601 closed at 3034 yuan/ton, up 6 yuan (0.20%). There were also corresponding changes in cross - month spreads, basis, and other indicators [1]. **Steel** - **Market Situation**: Weekend steel spot prices dropped slightly, with a decline of 10 - 20 yuan, and trading volume was low. In the short - term, the macro - economic outlook is in a vacuum, and the focus is on industrial contradictions. The steel price is unlikely to be further suppressed, but there is no strong driving force for price increases. The long - term trend is a gradual decline in steel production, with potential for a sector - wide resonance increase later [2]. **Silicon Ferrosilicon and Manganese Silicon** - **Market Situation**: Affected by external macro - factors, market sentiment has declined, and the prices of silicon ferrosilicon and manganese silicon have followed suit. The fundamentals have concerns such as high supply, large inventory de - stocking pressure, and weak downstream demand. Prices may be under pressure and oscillate, and future attention should be paid to supply - demand changes [5]. **Coking Coal and Coke** - **Market Situation**: The fourth round of price increases for coke has started, and the spot market sentiment is average. The supply of coking coal is still tight, but the positive supply factors are weakening, and the negative demand factors are emerging. The steel off - season has increased industrial pressure, and the sector is expected to be in a state of oscillation [6]. **Iron Ore** - **Market Situation**: The short - term supply of iron ore is relatively strong, mainly due to arrival rhythms. With the decline in molten iron production, the port inventory of iron ore will continue to rise, and the previous short positions can be held [7].

Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided Core Viewpoints - The PTA market is strongly supported by PX, with a slight increase in the PTA market. The spot supply is sufficient, and the spot basis fluctuates within a limited range. The gasoline supply contraction leads to an expansion of gasoline profits, which indirectly supports the price of PX. The PTA supply side contracts slightly, the polyester start - up is stable, and the polyester load remains above 90%. The export of domestic polyester is still optimistic. Although the "Golden September and Silver October" period has ended, the export demand may improve under the easing of the Sino - US trade war [2]. - The ethylene price fails to support the strength of the ethylene glycol price. New device startups continuously put pressure on the ethylene glycol price. The low - inventory - induced spot tightness is mainly reflected through the basis. The coal price rises, but it does not provide stronger cost support for ethylene glycol, and the profit of coal - based ethylene glycol has been repaired. The Sino - US trade negotiation is reached, and the tariff reduction may increase the subsequent export demand for textile and clothing, and the downstream weaving load may remain optimistic [2].
