Report Industry Investment Ratings - Methanol: ☆☆☆ [1] - Urea: ☆☆☆ [1] - Polyolefins: Not rated - Pure Benzene: Not rated - Styrene: ☆☆☆ [1] - Polyester (PX, PTA, Ethylene Glycol, Short Fiber, Bottle Chip): PX - ☆☆☆, PTA - ☆☆☆, Ethylene Glycol - ★☆☆, Short Fiber - ☆☆☆, Bottle Chip - ☆☆☆ [1] - Chlor - Alkali (PVC, Caustic Soda): ☆☆☆ [1] - Glass and Soda Ash: ☆☆☆ [1] Core Views - The overall chemical market shows a complex situation with different products having various supply - demand relationships and price trends. Some products are affected by factors such as inventory changes, seasonal demand, and cost fluctuations [2][3][4] Summary by Product Methanol - The main contract of methanol fluctuates in a narrow range. Import arrivals increase significantly, and ports accumulate inventory rapidly. Domestic producers in major production areas plan autumn maintenance, but some may postpone due to good profits. Downstream demand is for immediate needs, and production enterprise inventory changes little. The expected reduction in inland supply supports the market, but demand enters the off - season [2] Urea - The urea futures price rises first and then oscillates and回调 during the day. Daily production decreases slightly, and overall supply remains sufficient. Agricultural demand is approaching the end of the peak season, and the operating rate of compound fertilizer producers is still low. Producer inventory transfers to downstream and ports, with producers' inventory decreasing significantly and port inventory increasing rapidly. The domestic urea market is expected to have a loose supply - demand situation in the short term, and with the expected release of new export quotas, the market is likely to oscillate strongly within a range [3] Polyolefins - The main contracts of polyolefin futures continue to fluctuate in a narrow range, with a weakening trend. The cost of oil prices fluctuates widely without clear guidance. For polyethylene, the restart of some maintenance devices increases supply expectations, and short - term demand from North China's agricultural film has limited driving effect. For polypropylene, a high number of maintenance devices provide support, but weak downstream demand suppresses the market [4] Pure Benzene - Boosted by the overnight oil price rebound, the price of pure benzene rises in the morning but then falls. Domestic production increases slightly, and port supplies are abundant. There is a seasonal improvement in supply - demand expected in the second half of the third quarter, but pressure returns in the fourth quarter. It is recommended to conduct monthly spread band operations, with a positive spread strategy in the medium - short term and a negative spread in the fourth quarter. Considering the long - term bearish view on oil prices, shorting pure benzene at high prices is advisable [6] Styrene - The main contract of styrene futures has a narrow - range consolidation. The main port's inventory accumulates significantly, with refrigerated tank capacity in short supply. More selling and less buying in the spot market lead to a decline in spot prices and a weakening basis, which drags down the futures market [7] Polyester - PX and PTA prices rise first, then fall, and rebound in the afternoon. PX supply - demand improves, but low downstream PTA processing margins and weakening demand from long - filament inventory and cash - flow problems drag it down. PTA has a strong expectation of inventory accumulation, and the spot processing margin is at a low level with a repair drive. For ethylene glycol, domestic production decreases, and imports are low, with port inventory reduction and unstable overseas device operation boosting the market. Short - fiber and bottle - chip prices follow the raw materials, with short - fiber having a slight inventory reduction and repair of spot processing margins, while bottle - chip has a decline in industry operation rate and a slight increase in inventory [8] Chlor - Alkali - PVC fluctuates in a narrow range. Calcium carbide producers lower prices, and producer inventory decreases slightly while social inventory increases. The comprehensive profit of chlor - alkali improves, and new device production increases supply. Domestic demand is weak, and export deliveries decrease. Caustic soda futures price is weak. Profit improvement leads to increased device operation, but high - price sales are difficult. Alumina demand provides some support, but non - aluminum downstream demand is average [9] Glass and Soda Ash - Glass prices decline during the day. Mid - and downstream restocking sentiment improves, industry profit rises slightly, and production capacity increases slightly. Processing orders are weak. Soda ash prices oscillate downward. Industry inventory accumulates, production increases, and the photovoltaic industry plans to cut production. The supply - demand situation of glass is better than that of soda ash, and the price spread is expected to widen [10]

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Ratings - Gold: ★★★, indicating a clearer upward trend and relatively appropriate investment opportunities currently [1] - Silver: ★★★, indicating a clearer upward trend and relatively appropriate investment opportunities currently [1] 2. Core View of the Report - The US economy shows resilience as the retail sales in June 2025 had a month - on - month increase of 0.6%, the highest since March this year, and the weekly initial jobless claims were lower than the previous value and expectations. This suppresses the performance of gold prices, but gold still shows resistance. Due to strong uncertainties before the US tariff policy deadline and repeated risk sentiment, precious metals are mainly in a volatile state [1] 3. Summary by Related Catalogs Tariff Information - The vice - chairman of the Thai Chamber of Commerce stated that Thailand will propose to exempt 90% of US goods from tariffs [1] - The EU plans to add service tariffs and export controls on the US as a retaliatory measure after the breakdown of trade negotiations [1] - White House trade advisor Navarro said that the EU's value - added tax is also a form of subsidy, and the US hopes to see VAT reduction and tariff cuts [1] - The nominee for South Korea's foreign minister said he is confident of reaching an agreement before the US tariff takes effect [1] Fed Information - Kugler believes it is appropriate to keep interest rate policy stable "for some time" [2] - Daly thinks whether to cut interest rates in July or September is not the most critical [2] - Bostic said it may be difficult to cut interest rates in the short term [2] - Waller believes the Fed should cut interest rates by 25 basis points at the July meeting [2]

The 2508 contract reduced positions rapidly. The spot copper price rose to 78,660 yuan, with the Shanghai premium expanding to 175 yuan and the Guangdong premium shrinking to 45 yuan. Technically, after last week's price adjustment, LME copper traded between the MA60 and MA40 moving averages. Traders are advised to hold short positions or try to sell call options with an exercise price of 80,000 yuan and buy put options with an exercise price of 76,000 yuan on the 2508 contract [2] Aluminum, Alumina, and Aluminum Alloy - Shanghai aluminum prices fluctuated, with the East China spot premium at 110 yuan. The social inventories of aluminum ingots and aluminum rods decreased by 0.9 million tons and 0.5 million tons respectively compared to Monday. Accumulation of inventories is still difficult. After the pre - demand, the decline in demand is not more than seasonal. Cast aluminum alloy follows the fluctuations of Shanghai aluminum. The Baotai quotation increased by 100 yuan to 19,500 yuan. The demand is weak, but the supply of scrap aluminum in the market is tight. The alumina spot price increase trend has eased but is still in a premium state. The domestic alumina operating capacity has returned to a historical high and is in an oversupply state [3] Zinc - Black prices continued to rebound, concerns about US tariffs eased, and the macro - sentiment improved. The import window remained closed, and the strong external market drove the domestic market up. However, downstream acceptance of high - priced zinc is low, and it is difficult for traders to sell. The supply is expected to increase, and the term structure of Shanghai zinc has flattened. Shanghai zinc is still considered to face pressure in the rebound, waiting for short - selling opportunities around 23,000 yuan/ton [4] Lead - Both domestic and foreign markets are accumulating inventories. The export of lead - acid batteries is affected by tariff issues again, and short - sellers increased positions. The weighted position of Shanghai lead increased to 104,000 lots, and the settled funds reached 1.569 billion yuan. Recycled lead is reluctant to sell at low prices, and the downstream's willingness to buy at low prices has improved. The cost - end support is still strong. Whether Shanghai lead can stop falling at 16,800 yuan/ton needs to be observed [6] Nickel and Stainless Steel - Shanghai nickel prices rebounded, and the market trading was active. The stainless - steel market is in the traditional off - season, and spot transactions are weak. The price support from the upstream has significantly weakened. The inventories of nickel iron, pure nickel, and stainless steel have all increased, but the overall inventory level is still high. Technically, Shanghai nickel still has room for rebound, waiting for a better short - selling position [7] Tin - Shanghai tin reduced positions and closed positive. The main contract changed quickly this month, and the 2509 contract has become the main position - holding contract. The spot tin price increased by 3,600 yuan to 265,500 yuan. Technically, it is recommended to use the MA60 moving average as the boundary between strength and weakness. Continue to pay attention to the change of the low inventory of 2,000 tons overseas. Hold previous high - position short positions [8] Lithium Carbonate - Lithium carbonate prices rebounded and reached a high level. The market trading was active. A series of shutdown news maintained market enthusiasm, but there was obvious selling pressure around 70,000 yuan. The total market inventory is high, and traders buy at low prices. The latest quotation of Australian ore is 705 US dollars, with a large rebound from the low level. There is a strong hedging demand for lithium carbonate futures prices in the range of 67,000 - 70,000 yuan. Short - sellers should use position dispersion to defend [9] Industrial Silicon - Industrial silicon futures prices slightly declined, while the spot price of Xinjiang 421 silicon continued to rise to 8,850 yuan/ton. The downstream polysilicon is expected to increase demand due to the resumption of production of leading enterprises, and the operating rate of silicone monomer plants has continued to rise. On the supply side, large factories have not resumed production after previous shutdowns, and the weekly output in Xinjiang has continued to decline slightly. The fundamentals are improving marginally, and the trend is expected to be oscillating and strengthening [10] Polysilicon - Polysilicon futures prices slightly declined. According to SMM, the expected increase in silicon wafer quotes and cost calculation result in a comprehensive price of 43,870 yuan/ton. The "weak reality" is mainly concentrated in the inventory level. With the resumption of production of some bases of leading enterprises, there may be a slight increase in inventory. Policy expectations are still the main trading logic, and the overall trend is mainly oscillating and strengthening [11]

Group 1: Metals Crude Oil - Overnight international oil prices rebounded, with the Brent 09 contract rising 1.37%. Kurdish oil production decreased by 140,000 - 150,000 barrels per day due to drone attacks, but the upward drive from strong reality factors has weakened, and there are still trade - war risks in July. Short - term prices are likely to remain in a volatile pattern [1] Precious Metals - US economic data showed resilience, suppressing gold prices, but gold remained resilient. Uncertainty before the US tariff policy deadline is high, and precious metals are mainly in a volatile state [2] Copper - Overnight copper prices fluctuated higher. Good US retail sales boosted risk - asset trading sentiment. After the price decline, LME copper traded between the MA60 and 40 - day moving averages. SMM social inventory decreased by 4,300 tons to 143,300 tons this week [3] Aluminum - Overnight, Shanghai aluminum rebounded slightly. Aluminum ingot and aluminum bar social inventories decreased. After breaking the upward trend line, it is in a volatile state waiting for consumption feedback [4] Alumina - Domestic alumina operating capacity has reached a historical high and is in an oversupply state. The inventory of SHFE warehouse receipts is still low. The upward trend of spot prices has eased, but it is still at a premium, and the downside space of futures is limited after continuous decline [5] Cast Aluminum Alloy - It fluctuates with Shanghai aluminum. The Baotai quotation is stable at 19,500 yuan. Demand is weak, but scrap aluminum supply is tight, and the industry has negative profits but shows some resilience relative to aluminum prices [6] Zinc - In the consumption off - season, downstream willingness to buy at high prices is low. Due to the "anti - involution" policy, zinc price correction is difficult. The mid - term idea is to short on rallies, waiting for opportunities around 23,000 yuan [7] Lead - Middle - East tariff hikes on Chinese lead - acid batteries and inventory accumulation have pressured lead prices. Kazakhstan's export ban on unforged aluminum strengthens domestic cost support. Attention should be paid to whether Shanghai aluminum can stop falling around 16,800 yuan/ton [8] Nickel and Stainless Steel - Shanghai nickel rebounded with active trading. The stainless - steel market is in the off - season, with weak spot sales. Nickel - iron and stainless - steel inventories have increased. Technically, Shanghai nickel still has room to rebound, waiting for better short - selling opportunities [9] Tin - Overnight, LME tin recovered its decline, and Shanghai tin fluctuated. Attention should be paid to the low inventory in overseas markets and the resumption of supply of tin concentrates. Hold previous high - level short positions [10] Lithium Carbonate - Lithium carbonate rebounded. There is strong selling pressure around 70,000 yuan. Total inventory is high, and traders buy at low prices. The futures price has strong hedging demand in the 67,000 - 70,000 yuan range, and abundant supply restricts the rebound space [11] Polysilicon - Polysilicon futures strengthened significantly. The downstream price increase has begun to transmit costs. The short - term trend is expected to be volatile and strong, with policy expectations as the main trading logic [12] Industrial Silicon - Industrial silicon futures continued to strengthen.

Short - fiber production increased, and inventory decreased slightly. Bottle - chip enterprises cut production, and inventory increased slightly [31] Group 4: Building Materials Glass - Glass prices were strong during the day. Inventory decreased this week, and the price is expected to follow the macro - sentiment in the short term. In the long term, supply contraction is needed for a significant price increase [32] 20 - Rubber, Natural Rubber, and Butadiene Rubber - International oil prices rose, and the Thai raw - material market was stable with a slight increase. Rubber supply is increasing, demand is improving, and the strategy is to go long on rebounds [33] Soda Ash - Soda - ash prices were strong during the day. The spot market is weak, and inventory is accumulating. The price is expected to follow costs and the macro - situation in the short term, and there is limited upward space in the long term [34] Group 5: Agricultural Products Soybeans and Soybean Meal - US soybean good - quality rate increased. Domestic soybean - meal prices rose, and inventory increased. Attention should be paid to the US soybean - growing area weather and the August 1 tariff node [35] Soybean Oil and Palm Oil - Palm - oil prices strengthened. Indonesia's palm - oil export competitiveness increased, and there is a bio - diesel demand expectation. Long - term, a long - on - dips strategy is recommended for vegetable oils [36] Rapeseed Meal and Rapeseed Oil - The rapeseed market is affected by economic and trade expectations. Supply may be uncertain, and the price is expected to rise in the short term [37] Soybean No. 1 - Domestic soybean prices continued to rebound. Attention should be paid to weather and policy guidance [38] Corn - China Grain Reserves Corporation's auctions affected market expectations.

Report Industry Investment Ratings - Crude oil: ★★★, indicating a clear upward trend and a relatively appropriate investment opportunity [1] - Fuel oil: ★★★, indicating a clear upward trend and a relatively appropriate investment opportunity [1] - Low - sulfur fuel oil: No rating provided [1] - Asphalt: ★☆★, representing a bias towards an upward trend, but with limited operability on the trading floor [1] - Liquefied petroleum gas: ★★★, indicating a clear upward trend and a relatively appropriate investment opportunity [1] Core Viewpoints - International crude oil prices may turn into a volatile and pressured state in July, but there is still a possibility of rising again in August. Fuel oil and low - sulfur fuel oil futures are weak, and the spread between high - and low - sulfur fuel oils is declining. Asphalt prices are supported by low inventories, and the LPG market is in a weak state with a downward - trending disk [2][3][4] Summary by Related Catalogs Crude Oil - Overnight international oil prices declined, with the SG08 contract falling 0.12% intraday. Last week, US EIA crude oil inventories decreased by 3.859 million barrels, but the unexpected increase in refined oil inventories raised demand concerns. Since May, oil prices have been supported by peak - season procurement expectations, but recently, the spot premium and monthly spread of crude oil have not strengthened further. In July, the negative impact of the trade war on oil prices is greater than the positive impact of geopolitical factors. In August, if the European diesel contradiction persists, the market may rise again [2] Fuel Oil & Low - Sulfur Fuel Oil - Fuel - related futures are all weak, with LU falling more deeply. The spread between high - and low - sulfur fuel oils has started to decline since mid - July. Under the OPEC+ production - increase path, there is an expectation of increased supply of high - sulfur heavy resources globally. The impact of sanctions on major high - sulfur fuel oil production areas such as Russia and Iran is relatively limited in the short term. The actual incremental effect of the previous pilot project of increasing the deduction ratio of fuel oil consumption tax in China is limited, and demand lacks drivers. FU cracking is expected to maintain a downward trend. The unilateral trend of LU mainly follows crude oil [2] Asphalt - Social inventories have slightly increased, while factory inventories have significantly decreased month - on - month, mainly driven by accelerated inventory reduction in East China. The shipment volume of 54 sample refineries has slightly increased month - on - month, and the cumulative year - on - year increase has decreased by 1 percentage point compared to the end of June. Overall, the resilience of asphalt supply increase remains to be observed, demand is still weak but there is a repair expectation, and low inventories still support prices. Today, crude oil has slightly declined, while BU has slightly increased, and cracking has also strengthened [3] LPG - The production - increase pressure in the Middle East persists. Although chemical procurement in the Far East has increased, overseas prices continue to be weak and volatile. Recently, import costs have continued to decline, but the weak prices of terminal products have kept PDH gross profit stable. PDH has continued to add maintenance, and the domestic supply and demand are both weak recently, with the domestic gas price facing downward pressure at the top. Crude oil has declined, and the off - season pattern in summer remains unchanged, with the disk trend being weak and volatile [4]

Overall, it is recommended to wait and see or conduct short - term operations for most commodities [2][3][4] Summary by Commodity Cotton & Cotton Yarn - Zhengzhou cotton continued to rise sharply, with the spot sales basis of domestic cotton firm. The cotton industry chain showed stronger raw materials, and the price of pure cotton yarn increased. There may be a short - squeeze situation due to the post - point - pricing behavior of downstream enterprises. The operating rate of inland spinning enterprises decreased, while that of Xinjiang spinning enterprises remained high. As of the end of June, the commercial cotton inventory was 282.98 million tons, a decrease of 62.89 million tons compared with the end of May. It is recommended to wait and see or conduct intraday operations [2] Sugar - Overnight, US sugar fluctuated. In Brazil, the rainfall in the main producing areas in the second half of June was still heavy, affecting the sugarcane harvesting progress, and the sugarcane crushing volume decreased year - on - year. The sugar - making ratio increased year - on - year. In China, Zhengzhou sugar fluctuated. As of the end of June, the cumulative sugar sales in Guangxi increased year - on - year, the sales rate increased, and the industrial inventory decreased. The upward space of Zhengzhou sugar is limited, and it is expected to fluctuate in the short term. It is recommended to wait and see [3] Apple - The futures price fluctuated weakly. The spot price remained stable. New early - maturing apples were on the market, and cold - storage apple prices began to decline. The demand for apples was low due to the large number of seasonal fruits and hot weather. As of July 11, the national cold - storage apple inventory decreased year - on - year. The market's trading focus shifted to the new season. It is recommended to maintain a short - biased thinking [4] 20 - rubber, Natural Rubber, Synthetic Rubber - RU&MR rose, BR fluctuated. The domestic natural rubber price increased slightly, and the synthetic rubber price generally rose. The global natural rubber supply was entering the high - yield period. In June, the synthetic rubber production increased year - on - year, and the operating rate of domestic butadiene rubber plants decreased last week. In June, the output of Chinese rubber tires decreased year - on - year. The operating rate of domestic all - steel tires rebounded slightly, and that of semi - steel tires rebounded significantly. The inventory in Qingdao area increased. It is recommended to wait and see [5] Pulp - The pulp futures rose slightly. The spot prices remained stable. As of July 10, 2025, the inventory of mainstream imported pulp samples in China decreased compared with the previous period. The pulp import in June was still high year - on - year. The supply of pulp was relatively loose, the demand was weak, and it was in the traditional off - season. The pulp valuation was low, and domestic counter - subsidies boosted sentiment. It is recommended to wait and see or conduct short - term operations [6] Logs - The futures price rebounded sharply, and the spot price remained stable. The main reason for the rebound was that the spot price was at a historical low with limited downward space. The port arrival volume and inventory were low, and the spot price was expected to rise. The demand was in the off - season, and the inventory was low. The supply was expected to be favorable, but the price lacked the power to continue rebounding. It is recommended to wait and see [7]

Some enterprises may postpone autumn maintenance due to good profits. Downstream maintains rigid demand procurement, and production enterprise inventory has little change [2]. Urea - The urea futures fluctuate strongly. Daily production decreases slightly, supply remains sufficient, and agricultural demand is approaching the end of the peak season. Production enterprise inventory is transferred to downstream and ports, with enterprises de - stocking and ports stocking up quickly. The market is expected to fluctuate strongly within the range [3]. Polyolefins - Polyolefin futures fluctuate narrowly and are weak. PE supply will recover as some devices restart, and demand from North China's agricultural film has limited impact. PP has many maintenance devices providing support, but off - season demand is weak [4]. Pure Benzene - The price of benzene is weak. Cost support is weakening, domestic production is increasing slightly, and port supplies are abundant. There is an expectation of seasonal improvement in the second half of Q3, but pressure in Q4. It is recommended to operate on the monthly spread [5]. Styrene - The main contract of styrene futures opens low and fluctuates narrowly. The cost - end crude oil market has a multi - empty game. Styrene has high operating loads and increasing port inventory, and downstream procurement is on - demand [6]. Polyester - PX and PTA fluctuate. PX supply - demand improves, but weak PTA demand drags it down. PTA has a drive to repair the processing spread. Ethylene glycol prices rise due to port de - stocking and unstable overseas devices. Short fibre has a slight de - stocking and profit repair. Bottle chips enterprises cut production, but inventory increases slightly [7]. Chlor - alkali - PVC fluctuates narrowly. Manufacturers de - stock slightly, but social inventory increases. New devices are put into operation, and downstream orders are insufficient.

Attention should be paid to terminal demand and relevant domestic and foreign policies [2]. - The short-term trend of iron ore is expected to fluctuate with steel products, and the risk of increased volatility should be noted [3]. - Coke and coking coal are affected by the "anti-involution" to a limited extent, and their prices mainly follow the trend of steel products [4][6]. - Silicon manganese and ferrosilicon prices follow the trend of thread, with limited ability to rise and are expected to face pressure [7][8]. Summary by Category Steel - Today's steel futures strengthened. This week, the apparent demand for thread dropped significantly, production continued to decline, and inventory slightly accumulated. The demand for hot-rolled steel increased slightly, production continued to decline, and inventory slightly decreased. The molten iron production is slowly declining but remains at a relatively high level. With low inventory, the market feedback pressure is small. Attention should be paid to the demand absorption capacity during the off-season [2]. - In June, real estate investment continued to decline significantly, and the growth rates of infrastructure and manufacturing investment slowed down. Domestic demand is still weak, while exports remain at a relatively high level [2]. Iron Ore - Today's iron ore futures continued to rebound. On the supply side, the global iron ore shipment decreased slightly, and the domestic arrival volume is currently high but may decline in the future.
