1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The cost - side calcium carbide prices are weak, while ethylene prices show a slight rebound, but overall, the valuation drive remains insufficient. Recently, the strong performance of crude oil due to geopolitical factors has provided some stimulation to the market. The supply - demand situation of PVC continues to be weak, and attention should be mainly paid to external influences [5]. - Operationally, aggressive investors can take a small - scale long position. For the 2509 contract, the support level can be referred to as 4780, and investors can buy and hold put options for protection [5]. 3. Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Periodic and Spot Market - Last week, the negative value of the PVC 1 - 5 spread narrowed and was higher year - on - year. The 5 - 9 spread remained stable month - on - month and was lower year - on - year. The overall futures monthly spread structure still maintained a contango pattern with higher prices in the distant future, indicating that expectations are stronger than the current situation [12]. - The 9 - 1 spread was weakly stable last week and was higher year - on - year. The basis of the main contract remained stable month - on - month and was higher year - on - year [15]. 3.2 Supply Side 3.2.1 PVC Capacity and Output - As of now, the effective PVC production capacity is 28 million tons, with the second - phase 300,000 - ton/year new capacity of Shaanxi Jintai. Last week, the PVC output was 462,300 tons, a month - on - month decrease of 0.8% and a year - on - year increase of 0.33%, mainly due to the maintenance of Henan Yuhang and Xinjiang Zhongtai Huatai plants [19]. 3.2.2 Calcium Carbide Method Capacity and Output - As of now, the effective calcium carbide - based PVC production capacity is 20.33 million tons, accounting for about 72.6%. Last week, the output was 343,400 tons, a month - on - month decrease of 1.63% and a year - on - year decrease of 0.72% [22]. 3.2.3 Ethylene Method Capacity and Output - As of now, the effective ethylene - based PVC production capacity is 7.67 million tons, accounting for about 27.4%. Last week, the output was 118,900 tons, a month - on - month increase of 1.71% and a year - on - year increase of 3.48% [25]. 3.2.4 PVC Start - up and Maintenance - Last week, the upstream PVC start - up rate was 78.62%, a month - on - month decrease of 0.63 percentage points and a year - on - year decrease of 0.7 percentage points, at a neutral level in the same period. The maintenance loss was 125,700 tons [28]. - Last week, the start - up rate of calcium carbide - based PVC was 80.43%, a month - on - month decrease of 1.34 percentage points and a year - on - year increase of 0.53 percentage points, at a high level in the same period. The start - up rate of ethylene - based PVC was 73.81%, a month - on - month decrease of 1.22 percentage points and a year - on - year decrease of 2.48 percentage points, at a relatively low level in the same period [32]. 3.2.5 PVC and Product Imports - From January to April 2025, the cumulative PVC import volume was 85,600 tons, a year - on - year increase of 2.52%. From January to April, the import volume of plastics and their products in China was 6.8615 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 0.11% [37]. 3.3 Demand Side 3.3.1 Apparent Consumption and Production - Sales Ratio - From January to April 2025, the cumulative apparent consumption of PVC was 6.7463 million tons, a year - on - year decrease of 3.33%. Last week, the PVC production - sales ratio was 140%, a month - on - month increase of 3 percentage points and a year - on - year increase of 2 percentage points [42]. 3.3.2 Downstream Start - up Rate - The start - up rate of downstream products was generally weak. Affected by the traditional rainy - season off - season, the start - up of pipe and profile enterprises continued to decline, and the real estate at the macro level still dragged down the terminal demand [45]. 3.3.3 Exports - From January to April 2025, the cumulative export volume of Chinese PVC was 1.3365 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 54.27%, with an obvious export - grabbing effect. PVC powder was mainly exported to India, Vietnam, Uzbekistan, etc., and the proportion of exports to India was 43.9% [52]. - From January to April 2025, the cumulative export volume of Chinese PVC floor covering materials was 141.8 tons, a year - on - year decrease of 6.67%. They were mainly exported to Europe and the United States. Among them, the proportion of exports to the United States was 27.6%, Canada 9.4%, Germany 5.6%, Australia 3.6%, and the Netherlands 3.5%. Against the background of the tariff war, the export of products to the United States is expected to continue to shrink [54]. 3.3.4 Real Estate and Infrastructure - From a macro perspective, PVC is a commodity with a post - cycle demand in the real estate industry, and its downstream demand is closely related to the real estate industry. From January to May 2025, the national real estate development investment decreased by 10.7% year - on - year, the floor area under construction decreased by 9.2% year - on - year, the new construction area decreased by 22.8%, the completed area decreased by 17.3%, and the sales area of newly - built commercial housing decreased by 2.9% year - on - year. The real estate market generally performed stably, and local policy optimization mainly focused on optimizing the provident fund policy. In the first half of June, driven by improved supply and real - estate enterprise promotions, the new - home market in key cities continued to recover, but the differentiation between cities and between new and old projects would still continue, and policy support was still needed to stop the market decline and promote stability [57]. - In terms of infrastructure, in May, the full - caliber and narrow - caliber (excluding electricity, heat, gas, and water) infrastructure investment growth rates were 9.2% and 5.1% respectively, down 0.3 and 0.1 percentage points from January to March. As constraints are expected to be further alleviated, infrastructure investment may maintain high - speed growth [57]. 3.4 Inventory - Last week, the domestic PVC social inventory (21 companies) was 355,100 tons, remaining the same month - on - month and a year - on - year decrease of 41.19%. The PVC social inventory (41 companies) was 569,300 tons, a month - on - month decrease of 0.75% and a year - on - year decrease of 38%. Downstream enterprises replenished inventory at low prices, and export deliveries increased [59]. - The enterprise inventory was 401,600 tons, a month - on - month increase of 1.29% and a year - on - year increase of 25.23%. The number of registered warehouse receipts continued to increase [64]. 3.5 Valuation 3.5.1 Blue Coke and Calcium Carbide - Last week, the blue - coke price remained stable and was lower year - on - year. The calcium carbide price was weakly stable, with the mainstream price in Wuhai area reported at 2,350 yuan/ton. The power cost decreased, and the decline in the start - up rate of calcium carbide enterprises was less than expected [68]. 3.5.2 Ethylene and Vinyl Chloride - Last week, the ethylene price rebounded month - on - month and was slightly lower year - on - year. The domestic and imported ethylene supplies were relatively tight, and the sharp increase in ethane and crude oil pushed up costs. The vinyl chloride price remained stable month - on - month and was lower year - on - year [71]. 3.5.3 Liquid Caustic Soda and Liquid Chlorine - Last week, the price of liquid caustic soda decreased month - on - month and was higher year - on - year. The price of liquid chlorine decreased month - on - month and was weaker year - on - year [74]. 3.5.4 PVC Profit - Last week, the loss of externally - purchased calcium carbide - based PVC narrowed slightly month - on - month but was still at the highest loss level in the same period over the years; the loss of ethylene - based PVC widened again month - on - month and was also at the weakest level in the same period [77]. 3.5.5 Chlor - Alkali Profit - Last week, the production profit of Shandong chlor - alkali decreased month - on - month and was higher year - on - year [81].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content 2. Core View of the Report - The repeated escalation of the geopolitical situation in the Middle East, the breakdown of the Iran nuclear negotiations, and the resulting conflicts in the Middle East support the strengthening of oil prices. The supply side is affected by geopolitical factors, with Iran's 3 million barrels per day of crude oil supply potentially threatened, and the market is worried about the obstruction of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, involving 16 million barrels per day of crude oil supply. Although eight OPEC+ producing countries plan to increase production, the actual production in April decreased month - on - month, indicating uncertainty in the production increase process. On the demand side, the US enters the driving season, and crude oil demand is expected to increase seasonally. Although China's crude oil processing demand declined in May, demand is expected to be further boosted with the suspension of tariffs and the expectation of pre - export rush. The report suggests holding long positions [4]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1. Week - on - Week View and Strategy - **Inventory**: US commercial crude oil inventories decreased by 11.5 million barrels last week, the largest decline since the week of June 28, 2024, and the inventory level was the lowest since January. The Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) increased by 200,000 barrels. Gasoline and distillate inventories increased. US crude oil net imports decreased by 1.75 million barrels per day, and exports increased by 1.1 million barrels per day to 4.4 million barrels per day [4][20]. - **Supply**: Affected by geopolitical factors, Iran's 3 million barrels per day of crude oil supply may be threatened, and the market is worried about the obstruction of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, involving 16 million barrels per day of crude oil supply. The US crude oil production remained at 13.4 million barrels per day last week. Eight OPEC+ countries plan to increase production by 411,000 barrels per day in July, and the cumulative production increase from April to July is expected to be 1.371 million barrels per day. However, the actual production in April decreased month - on - month, indicating uncertainty in the production increase process. There are also uncertainties in supply due to the Israel - Iran conflict, sanctions on Russian and Venezuelan crude oil, and the US shale oil production reaching its ceiling [4]. - **Demand**: The US refinery capacity utilization rate decreased by 1.1 percentage points to 93.2%, and the crude oil processing volume decreased by 364,000 barrels per day. As the summer driving season arrives, gasoline demand will increase. In May, China's crude oil processing slowed down, with a year - on - year decrease of 1.8%. Overall, the demand side is expected to increase steadily, with strong demand in the US and stable demand in China [4]. - **Strategy**: Hold long positions [4] 3.2. Balance Sheet and Industrial Chain Structure - **Global Supply - Demand Balance Sheet**: The report provides detailed data on global crude oil production, consumption, and inventory changes from January 2024 to December 2025, including production and consumption in OPEC and non - OPEC countries, as well as OECD and non - OECD countries [6]. - **Industrial Chain Structure**: The report shows the industrial chain structure of crude oil, including the processing of crude oil through the atmospheric and vacuum distillation unit, and then further processing into various products such as naphtha, ethylene, propylene, etc. [9] 3.3. Futures - Spot Market - The report presents multiple charts related to the futures - spot market, including domestic and foreign price spreads, monthly spreads, and freight indices, etc., but no specific analysis of these data is provided [11][15][16] 3.4. Inventory - **US Inventory**: US commercial crude oil inventories decreased, while gasoline and distillate inventories increased. The Strategic Petroleum Reserve increased slightly. The inventory level of Cushing decreased [4][20]. - **China Inventory**: In May, China's inventory increment decreased due to a decline in imported crude oil and a month - on - month decrease in crude oil processing demand. The INE crude oil warehouse receipts in the Shanghai Energy Exchange have recently remained at a low level, indicating a low level of deliverable warehouse receipts [25][28] 3.5. Supply Side - **OPEC Production**: OPEC's monthly report shows that the average daily crude oil production of OPEC+ in May was 41.23 million barrels, an increase of 180,000 barrels compared to April. Eight OPEC+ countries plan to increase production, but there is uncertainty in the production increase process [32][33]. - **US Production**: The US crude oil production remained at 13.4 million barrels per day last week. The US shale oil production has reached its ceiling, and the growth space is limited due to the reduction of capital expenditure by oil companies in the early stage. The US oil rig count, a leading indicator of future production, has remained at a stable level, indicating a low probability of future production increase [37][39]. 3.6. Demand Side - **China Demand**: In May, China's crude oil processing slowed down, but overall, the travel demand is strong, and it is expected to drive the recovery of crude oil consumption. China's crude oil imports in May were 46.6 million tons, and the cumulative imports from January to May increased slightly year - on - year. The export of refined oil products in May was 4.409 million tons, a year - on - year decline [47][52][55]. - **US Demand**: The US refinery capacity utilization rate decreased by 1.1 percentage points to 93.2%, and the crude oil processing volume decreased. As the summer driving season arrives, gasoline demand is expected to increase, and the demand is slightly better than the same period last year [59][62].

Core Viewpoints of the Report - The current supply and demand of the pig market are in a stalemate, and the pig price is in a narrow - range shock. The futures market trend depends highly on market sentiment. The supply and demand of the main 09 contract are expected to weaken, and it is recommended to take a short - term bearish view, with the pressure level referring to 13,800 [7][8]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1.

In the short term, the pig price is in a stalemate. The number of fertile sows decreased slightly in Q1 2025, but the production capacity is still sufficient. If pork consumption does not increase significantly, the upward space of the pig price before September 2025 may be limited. The supply of pork this year is relatively abundant, and the support from the supply and demand sides to the market is still relatively limited [7]. - **Outlook and Strategy**: The supply and demand expectations of the main 09 contract are weakening. It is recommended to take a short - term bearish view, with the pressure level referring to 13,800 [8]. 3.2.

Demand Side - **Slaughter Volume of Live Pigs**: The terminal consumption is weak, the fresh - sales rate of slaughter enterprises is at a high level, and the frozen - product storage rate is at a low level. The frozen products are in the de - stocking stage, and the impact on the pig price is limited [67]. - **Slaughter Rate and Fresh - Sales Rate of Slaughter Enterprises**: The slaughter rate of slaughter enterprises this week was 28.55%, a week - on - week increase of 0.44 percentage points. It is expected to continue to rise slightly next week [69]. 3.6.

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2. Core Viewpoints - Last week, the Shanghai tin market fluctuated slightly with a weekly increase of 2%. On May 16, 2025, the spot price of Mysteel's comprehensive 1 tin was 265,500 yuan/ton, with small fluctuations in futures prices and little change in basis [11]. - In April, refined tin production increased slightly month - on - month, and tin ore imports from January to March 2025 dropped significantly year - on - year. Alphamin reduced its production guidance to 17,500 tons, a 0.4% annual decrease [11]. - Demand recovered in March. The expansion of support for consumer goods replacement and AI technological breakthroughs strongly supported tin demand. Although trade disputes in April affected demand, recent improvements in macro - trade disputes led to continuous marginal improvements in supply and demand [11]. - With the mine end remaining tight and processing fees weak, profits will stay low under the background of mine - end interference [11]. - LME and SHFE inventories decreased slightly week - on - week, while social inventories increased slightly, which is unfavorable for inventory reduction [11]. - Considering the improvement in macro - trade disputes but the instability at the mine end, and the price having mostly reflected the supply - demand and macro - improvement expectations, short - term long positions are recommended. The weekly reference range is 250,000 - 270,000 yuan/ton. For options, sell out - of - the - money put options. Focus on the implementation of macro - measures, disturbances from Myanmar and Congo mines, Indonesia's export speed, and consumption data verification [11]. 3.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content 2. Core View of the Report - The short - term macro trade disputes have improved, and the positive macro impact has been mostly reflected in the market. With the continuous improvement of supply and demand, nickel prices are expected to be boosted. However, there are still uncertainties in the timely increase of Indonesia's nickel ore RKAB approval quota, and policy disturbance risks remain. The Indonesian government's increase in the privilege use fee for nickel resources has raised the supply - side cost. The recommended strategy is to conduct short - term long trading on the SHFE nickel 2507 contract and sell out - of - the - money put options. Later, attention should be paid to changes in the mining end, stainless steel production, and trade disputes [8]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1.
