Group 1: Investment Ratings - Gold and silver are both given a ★★★ rating, indicating a clearer long/short trend and relatively appropriate investment opportunities at present [1] Group 2: Core Views - Today, precious metals are oscillating with a slight upward trend. Recently, global geopolitical risks have cooled down, risk sentiment is positive, the US economy is resilient, and a work plan for stabilizing growth in key industries such as non-ferrous metals in China is about to be introduced. Industrial products are rising excitedly in rotation, there is insufficient upward driving force for gold, and there is still room for the gold-silver ratio to decline. The uncertainty before the deadline of US tariff policy remains high, risk sentiment is prone to fluctuations, and precious metals are mainly in an oscillating and wait-and-see state [1] Group 3: Summary of Related Content Tariff - The US Commerce Secretary is confident of reaching an agreement with the EU, and small countries need to pay a 10% benchmark tariff starting from August 1st. The EU is preparing a retaliatory plan under the tough US trade stance. Trump has increased pressure on the EU, with the minimum tariff possibly rising to 15%-20%. The US-Japan trade agreement is still within the "realm of possibility", and the Pakistani Finance Minister is in the US to promote the signing of a trade agreement [2] Fed - Trump believes that high interest rates are "killing the real estate market" and has reiterated that interest rates should be lowered to 1%. An insider said that Treasury Secretary Bessent advised Trump not to remove Powell. Waller refused to comment on whether he would hold a different opinion at the July meeting and said he would accept if the president asked him to be the Fed Chairman. Goolsbee is "slightly worried" that tariffs are pushing up commodity inflation and expects interest rates to drop significantly in the next year [2] Iran Nuclear Negotiations - Iran has agreed to hold a new round of negotiations with three European countries at the deputy foreign minister level in Istanbul on the 25th. Putin met with a senior advisor to the Iranian Supreme Leader to discuss the Iran nuclear issue. Trump reiterated that all three Iranian nuclear facilities have been completely destroyed [2]

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content found Group 2: Core View of the Report - The commodity market may fluctuate weakly in the short - term due to pressure on liquidity and demand. Currently, the market has digested the impact of the tariff issue. The US - EU tariff problem remains intense, and there are positive signals from trade agreements after the visit to Japan. The market shows no concern about the potential dollar liquidity pressure from Powell's situation and US fiscal debt issuance. With stable external macro - liquidity, the market has strong expectations for China's "expanding domestic demand" and "anti - involution" policies, and the short - term risk preference is expected to remain oscillating strongly, waiting for clearer macro - policies [1] Group 3: Summary Based on Related Catalogs 3.1 Market Performance - **Overall Market**: The commodity market rose 1.33% last week. Agricultural products and precious metals had larger increases of 1.44% and 1.29% respectively, while black, energy - chemical, and non - ferrous metals rose 1.06%, 0.69%, and 0.37% respectively. The inflow of funds increased, mainly due to the inflow in the non - ferrous metal direction [1][5] - **Individual Varieties**: Among individual varieties, crude oil, rapeseed meal, and industrial silicon had the highest increases of 3.52%, 3.38%, and 3.33% respectively. LPG, urea, and lead had larger declines of 2.48%, 1.58%, and 1.49% respectively [1][5] 3.2 Sector Analysis - **Precious Metals**: The market continued its strong trend, with silver performing prominently. Silver futures rose more than gold due to the dollar's decline, increased macro - easing expectations, and the improvement of industrial products' prices boosting silver's industrial attributes. Gold maintained a high - level oscillation supported by safe - haven demand and weak inflation data, benefiting from the continuous expectation of the Fed's interest rate cut this year [2] - **Non - ferrous Metals**: They continued the oscillating and strengthening pattern. Main varieties like copper and aluminum rebounded slightly due to low inventory and overseas supply disruptions. The demand for non - ferrous metals is expected to remain stable in the second half of the year, and the electrolytic copper market still has medium - term support [2] - **Black Metals**: Steel prices rebounded significantly under cost support and production - limit rumors. Iron ore and coking coal prices also strengthened. The market's pessimistic sentiment about steel fundamentals has eased, although the actual terminal demand still needs further observation [2] - **Energy**: Crude oil prices rose slightly, supported by geopolitical tensions (especially in the Middle East) and the demand during the summer travel season. Concerns about global supply tightening and the decline in US crude oil inventories further promoted the stabilization and recovery of oil prices. Domestic energy varieties such as fuel oil and crude oil futures continued to rebound [3] - **Chemicals**: The market was generally firm, and some varieties continued to recover. The stabilization of crude oil at the cost end drove the sentiment of the entire chemical industry to improve. Products like PVC and PTA benefited from downstream replenishment and the decline in industry operating rates, but the supply - demand fundamentals have not fully improved, and short - term price fluctuations are still uncertain [3] - **Agricultural Products**: They rose slightly this week. Rapeseed meal rebounded due to the relief of import pressure and the decline in domestic oil mill operations. The oil and fat sector oscillated at a high level under international market influence. Corn and wheat stopped falling and rebounded due to the relief of inventory pressure and weather speculation. Policy support for food security and planting structure adjustment will continue to affect the market [3] 3.3 Commodity Fund Overview - **Gold ETFs**: Most gold ETFs had positive returns, with an average return of around 0.4%. The total scale of gold ETFs was 1,549.72 billion yuan, a decrease of 0.82%. The total trading volume decreased by 34.33% [34] - **Other ETFs**: The energy - chemical ETF had a return of 0.39%, the soybean meal ETF had a return of 2.43%, the non - ferrous metal ETF had a return of - 0.45%, and the silver fund had a return of 1.81%. The total scale of commodity ETFs was 1,617.49 billion yuan, a decrease of 0.59%, and the total trading volume decreased by 16.30% [34]

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints - The report analyzes the market trends of various commodities and financial products, including energy, metals, agricultural products, and financial derivatives, and provides corresponding investment suggestions based on the current market situation and future expectations [2][3][4] - The market is influenced by multiple factors such as international policies, economic data, supply and demand relationships, and seasonal patterns, and the trends of different products vary [15][16][20] Summary by Category Energy - **Crude Oil**: Last week, international oil prices declined, with Brent 09 contract down 1.98% and SC09 contract up 2.3%. After the EU's 18th round of sanctions against Russia, oil prices first rose and then fell. The upward drive of strong real - world factors on oil prices has weakened, and the oil price trend has shifted from strong to volatile [2] - **Fuel Oil & Low - sulfur Fuel Oil**: Under the OPEC+ production increase path, there is an expected increase in the supply of high - sulfur heavy resources. The impact of sanctions on major high - sulfur fuel oil producing areas is limited, and demand lacks drive. FU cracking continues to decline. LU's unilateral trend follows crude oil, but its increase has been less than that of SC since mid - July, and its cracking has also declined [21] - **Asphalt**: In August, refinery production is expected to decline significantly compared to July. Social inventory has slightly increased, while factory inventory has decreased significantly. Overall, supply increase resilience needs to be observed, demand remains weak but has recovery expectations, and low inventory supports prices, with the BU price showing an upward trend [22] - **Liquefied Petroleum Gas**: Middle - East production pressure persists, and overseas prices continue to fluctuate weakly. Import costs have declined, but PDH margins remain stable. Domestic supply and demand are both weak, and the domestic gas price is under pressure at the top. The market is in a summer off - season pattern, and the futures price fluctuates weakly [23] Metals - **Precious Metals**: The recent macro - sentiment is positive, and precious metals are relatively stable. Due to high uncertainty in US tariff policies, precious metals are mainly in a volatile state, and the gold - silver ratio still has room to decline [3] - **Base Metals** - **Copper**: Last Friday, LME copper rose close to $9,800, and SHFE copper's main contract shifted to 2509. The domestic copper industry's capacity regulation space is limited. The previous 2508 option portfolio expired this week [4] - **Aluminum**: Affected by the news of the upcoming ten - key - industry growth - stabilization plan, non - ferrous metals are generally strong. Aluminum ingot and billet inventory accumulation is not smooth, and SHFE aluminum may maintain a high - level volatile trend in the short term [5] - **Zinc**: Black prices have rebounded, and the market sentiment has improved. The import window is closed, and the external market drives the internal market up. However, downstream acceptance of high - priced zinc is low, and supply is expected to increase. The SHFE zinc term structure has flattened, and it is still considered a rebound - under - pressure situation [8] - **Lead**: Both domestic and foreign inventories have increased, and the export of lead - acid batteries is affected by tariffs. The price has declined. However, the cost support is strong. The price has stopped falling at 16,800 yuan/ton and may face resistance at the previous high of 17,800 yuan/ton [9] - **Nickel and Stainless Steel**: SHFE nickel has rebounded, and the market trading is active. The stainless - steel market is in the off - season, and inventory has increased. Technically, SHFE nickel still has room to rebound, and short - selling opportunities are awaited [10] - **Tin**: LME tin has been volatile, and SHFE tin is supported at 260,000 yuan. The main contract has shifted to 2509. Social inventory has increased. High - level short positions from the previous period are held [11] - **Other Metal - related Products** - **Cast Aluminum Alloy**: It follows SHFE aluminum and is in a strong - volatile state, but trading is inactive. Despite weak industrial demand, scrap aluminum supply is tight, and it may be more resilient than aluminum prices [6] - **Alumina**: On Friday night, alumina prices rose sharply. Supply - side policy expectations have strengthened, but domestic operating capacity has reached a historical high, and there is a possibility of mine restart in Guinea. After the sharp rise driven by expectations, there is a risk of correction [7] Agricultural Products - **Soybeans and Soybean Meal**: As of July 15, about 7% of US soybean - producing areas were affected by drought. The US - India trade agreement and Indonesia's potential B50 biodiesel plan have boosted US agricultural product prices. In China, oil - mill operating rates are high, and soybean - meal inventory is increasing. The price of soybean meal is mainly guided by US soybean - producing area weather [36] - **Edible Oils (Soybean Oil and Palm Oil)**: Palm oil has risen strongly, and soybean oil has followed. Indonesia's potential increase in biodiesel blending ratio and the competitiveness of its palm oil in the export market have pushed up prices. Long - term, a long - at - low strategy is recommended for vegetable oils [37] - **Rapeseed and Rapeseed Oil**: Canadian rapeseed exports may be affected by Sino - Canadian economic and trade relations. Domestic rapeseed products are expected to be volatile in the short term, and factors such as weather, policies, and biodiesel should be monitored [38] - **Corn**: Dalian corn rose on Friday night. Cofco's increased auctions have affected market expectations, and the auction success rate of US - imported corn was low. Dalian corn futures may continue to bottom - oscillate [40] - **Livestock and Poultry Products** - **Pigs**: Pig prices have rebounded slightly. However, the overall supply is abundant in the medium - term, and the industry can participate in short - hedging at high prices [41] - **Eggs**: Large - sized egg prices have strengthened slightly, while small - sized egg prices have weakened. Cold - storage eggs are being released, suppressing price increases. Long - term, the egg - price cycle has not bottomed out [42] - **Cotton**: Zhengzhou cotton has risen continuously, but there are concerns about a potential short - squeeze. Pure - cotton yarn prices have increased, but downstream procurement is still cautious. Attention should be paid to the impact of the textile - industry growth - stabilization plan [43] - **Sugar**: US sugar is in a downward trend, and the Brazilian production outlook is negative. In China, sugar imports are low, and domestic sugar sales are fast. The uncertainty of Guangxi's sugar production in the 25/26 season has increased, and sugar prices are expected to be volatile [44] - **Apples**: Apple futures are volatile. New - season early - maturing apples are on the market, and prices have increased year - on - year. The market is focused on new - season yield estimates, and a short - biased strategy is recommended [45] - **Wood and Pulp** - **Wood**: Wood futures have rebounded significantly. Spot prices are stable, and due to low inventory and historical - low prices, there is an expectation of price increase. However, domestic demand is in the off - season, and the upward momentum is insufficient [46] - **Pulp**: Pulp futures have continued to rise. Port inventory has decreased, but domestic imports are still high. Demand is in the traditional off - season, and a wait - and - see or short - term trading strategy is recommended [47] Financial Derivatives - **Stock Index**: A - shares have increased in volume and oscillated higher. US economic data has been positive, and policies have boosted market risk appetite. Foreign institutions are optimistic about the Chinese economy, and a strategy of increasing technology - growth stocks on the basis of dividend - asset allocation is recommended [48] - **Treasury Bonds**: Treasury - bond futures have oscillated. The market has fully priced in the expectation of monetary easing. In the short - term, there is a risk of increased volatility [49] Shipping - **Container Freight Index (European Line)**: The spot market is still strong, and most airlines may raise prices in early August. The market is in a game between strong reality and weak expectations. The short - term trend is expected to be volatile, and attention should be paid to the progress of Sino - US tariff negotiations [20] Chemicals - **Methanol**: Methanol imports have increased significantly, and port inventory has accumulated rapidly. Domestic producers are planning autumn maintenance, but some may postpone it due to good profits. Demand is in the off - season, and attention should be paid to macro and downstream - device changes [25] - **Pure Benzene**: Domestic pure - benzene production has increased slightly, and port supply is abundant. There is an expectation of seasonal improvement in the third - quarter mid - to - late stage, but pressure in the fourth quarter. A month - spread band - trading strategy is recommended [26] - **Styrene**: Styrene futures are in a consolidation pattern. Main - port inventory has increased significantly, and the basis has weakened, dragging down the futures market [27] - **Polypropylene and Polyethylene**: The cost - side oil price is volatile. Polyethylene supply is expected to increase, and demand is weak. Polypropylene has some support from ongoing maintenance, but downstream demand is still sluggish [28] - **PVC and Caustic Soda**: Affected by the news of backward - capacity elimination, PVC has shown a strong trend. Caustic soda is also strong, but there are concerns about long - term supply increases and weak downstream acceptance [29] - **PX and PTA**: PTA's processing margin is low, and demand is weak, which drags down PX. There are expectations of PTA processing - margin repair [30] - **Ethylene Glycol**: Domestic production has declined, and port inventory has decreased. The price has strengthened, and a short - term long - position strategy is recommended [31] - **Short - fiber and Bottle - grade Chips**: Short - fiber production has increased, and inventory has decreased slightly. Bottle - grade chips production has decreased, and inventory has increased slightly. The short - fiber spot processing margin has repaired, while the bottle - grade chips processing margin has oscillated [32]

Report Industry Investment Ratings - **Thread Steel**: ★☆☆, indicating a bullish/ bearish bias with limited operability on the trading floor [1] - **Hot - Rolled Coil**: ★☆☆, suggesting a bullish/ bearish bias with limited operability on the trading floor [1] - **Iron Ore**: ★★★, representing a clearer bullish/ bearish trend with a relatively appropriate investment opportunity [1] - **Coke**: ★☆☆, showing a bullish/ bearish bias with limited operability on the trading floor [1] - **Coking Coal**: ★☆☆, implying a bullish/ bearish bias with limited operability on the trading floor [1] - **Silicon Manganese**: ★☆★, indicating a short - term balance in the bullish/ bearish trend with poor operability on the trading floor, suggesting waiting and seeing [1] - **Silicon Ferroalloy**: ★☆★, suggesting a short - term balance in the bullish/ bearish trend with poor operability on the trading floor, suggesting waiting and seeing [1] Core Viewpoints - The market is still dominated by the "anti - involution" concept, and substantial policy measures are yet to be implemented. After a significant rebound, the fluctuations of relevant varieties have intensified, and the rhythm may be repeated. Attention should be paid to terminal demand and relevant domestic and foreign policies [1] - The short - term trend of iron ore is expected to follow the fluctuations of finished steel products, with attention to the risk of amplified fluctuations [2] - Coke and coking coal are expected to follow the trend of steel products and may maintain an upward trend in the short term [3][5] - Silicon manganese and silicon ferroalloy follow the trend of thread steel, but their price increases are relatively weak [6][7] Summary by Category Steel - Today's steel futures rose and then fell, continuing to rebound. This week, the apparent demand for thread steel dropped significantly, production continued to decline, and inventory slightly increased. The demand for hot - rolled coils slightly rebounded, production continued to decline, and inventory slightly decreased. Iron - making molten iron production increased and remained at a high level. With low inventory, the market's negative feedback pressure is small [1] - In June, real estate investment continued to decline significantly, and the growth rates of infrastructure and manufacturing investment slowed down. Domestic demand remained weak overall, while exports remained at a relatively high level [1] Iron Ore - On the supply side, the global shipment of iron ore decreased slightly month - on - month, and the domestic arrival volume was at a high level, with a possible phased decline later. Port inventory decreased under high - throughput conditions and there was no obvious pressure to accumulate inventory in the short term [2] - On the demand side, terminal demand was weak during the off - season. Steel mills had profits and lacked the motivation for active production cuts. Iron - making molten iron production resumed this week and could remain at a relatively high level in the short term [2] Coke - The first round of price increases for coking was fully implemented, and there were still expectations of further price increases. Profits were meager, and daily coking production slightly increased after a continuous decline. Overall coke inventory slightly decreased, and the purchasing willingness of traders increased [3] Coking Coal - The output of coking coal mines slightly decreased, the spot auction market improved, transaction prices continued to rise, and terminal inventory increased. The total coking coal inventory decreased month - on - month, and production - end inventory continued to decline significantly. There was a high probability of continuous inventory reduction in the short term [5] Silicon Manganese - Due to continuous production cuts in the early stage, the inventory level decreased, but weekly production began to rebound, and the inventory reduction rate was likely to decline. In the long - term, manganese ore inventory fluctuated and increased. In the short - term, the current inventory level was low, and the price - holding intention of manganese mines increased [6] Silicon Ferroalloy - Iron - making molten iron production increased to over 242. Export demand remained at around 30,000 tons, with a marginal impact. The production of magnesium metal decreased slightly month - on - month, and secondary demand remained stable at a high level. Overall demand was okay. Silicon ferroalloy supply continued to decline, market transaction levels were average, on - balance - sheet inventory continued to decrease, but production - end inventory began to increase, mainly due to the decrease in warehouse - receipt inventory [7]

Short - term price trends of various agricultural products are affected by weather, policies, and trade news [3][4] - Supply and demand of the domestic corn market have no major contradictions currently, and attention should be paid to the phased supply in the circulation link [7] - The overall supply of the live hog industry in the later period is abundant, and prices are under downward pressure in the medium - term [8] - Egg prices have not reached the bottom of the cycle in the long - term, and the rebound strength of spot prices should be monitored [9] Summary by Category Soybean - Domestic soybeans continue to rebound. There is a risk of short - term waterlogging in some areas, and the policy procurement auction had zero transactions this week. For U.S. soybeans, there are risks of higher - than - normal temperatures and lower - than - normal precipitation in the central and southern production areas in the next 6 - 10 days [2] Soybean & Soybean Meal - As of July 15, about 7% of U.S. soybean production areas were affected by drought. The overall price of U.S. agricultural products rose, driving the continuous rebound of Dalian soybean meal. In China, the spot price of soybean meal increased, the oil mill operating rate remained high, and inventory continued to increase [3] Soybean Oil & Palm Oil - The palm oil contract rose strongly, and soybean oil followed. Indonesia is studying the B50 biodiesel plan, and the U.S. will reduce tariffs on Indonesian products. In the long - term, a strategy of buying on dips for vegetable oils is recommended [4] Rapeseed Meal & Rapeseed Oil - Domestic rapeseed products generally rose. Canadian rapeseed futures prices are expected to fluctuate in the short - term. The Sino - Australian rapeseed trade has limited impact on near - month supply and demand. There is still room for a short - term rebound in domestic rapeseed products [6] Corn - Dalian corn rebounded with increased positions. The auction of imported U.S. corn had a low transaction rate, and the market sentiment was pessimistic. The supply of Shandong deep - processing enterprises decreased. Dalian corn futures may continue to fluctuate at the bottom [7] Live Hogs - The live hog 09 contract rose slightly. The spot price continued to decline, and the supply was accelerating. The overall supply in the later period is abundant, and prices are under downward pressure in the medium - term [8] Eggs - The spot price of eggs increased, and the futures market had intense long - short competition. Due to high production capacity, off - season contracts are under pressure, while peak - season contracts are relatively supported [9]

Report Industry Investment Ratings - Crude oil: ★★★, indicating a clearer long - trend and a relatively appropriate investment opportunity currently [1] - Fuel oil: ★★★, indicating a clearer long - trend and a relatively appropriate investment opportunity currently [1] - Low - sulfur fuel oil: ★★★, indicating a clearer long - trend and a relatively appropriate investment opportunity currently [1] - Asphalt: ★☆☆, representing a bullish bias, with a driving force for price increase but poor operability on the market [1] - Liquefied petroleum gas: ★★★, indicating a clearer long - trend and a relatively appropriate investment opportunity currently [1] 2. Core Views - Crude oil prices rebounded overnight, but the upward drive from strong real - world factors weakened, and prices may be hard to break out of the volatile pattern in the short term due to trade - war risks in July [2] - The sharp rise in crude oil today drove up fuel - related futures, but the demand for fuel oil lacks a driver, and the cracking spread of both high - sulfur and low - sulfur fuel oil continued to decline [3] - The supply increase resilience of asphalt remains to be observed, demand is weak but has recovery expectations, and low inventory supports prices, leading to an upward trend in prices [4] - The LPG market is in a weak pattern in summer, with supply and demand both weak in China recently, and the futures price fluctuating weakly [5] 3. Summary by Related Catalogs Crude Oil - SC09 contract rose 2.57% intraday. Supply concerns increased due to production reduction in Kurdistan and EU sanctions on Russia, but the upward drive from strong real - world factors weakened, and short - term prices may stay in a volatile pattern [2] Fuel Oil & Low - sulfur Fuel Oil - The sharp rise in crude oil drove up fuel - related futures today, with similar increases in FU and LU, and the high - low sulfur price difference stopped falling. The supply of high - sulfur heavy resources is expected to increase, demand lacks a driver, and the cracking spread of both FU and LU continued to decline [3] Asphalt - Refinery production in August is expected to decline significantly compared to July. Social inventory increased slightly, factory inventory decreased significantly, and overall, supply increase resilience needs further observation, demand is weak but has recovery expectations, and low inventory supports prices [4] LPG - Middle - East production pressure persists, overseas prices fluctuate weakly, import costs decline, but PDH gross profit remains stable. Domestic supply and demand are both weak, and the futures price fluctuates weakly [5]

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.
