Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating The report does not provide an industry investment rating. 2. Core View of the Report Last week, the soda ash market showed a low - level wide - range oscillation pattern. The fundamentals presented a situation of weak supply and demand. Although some enterprises' device reduction led to a narrow contraction in supply and manufacturers had a strong willingness to support prices, high inventory pressure still existed, and the flat terminal demand restricted the upward price space. The relatively strong price of thermal coal at the cost end provided some support for soda ash, but the oversupply pattern did not change substantially, and the market lacked a driving force for a trending rise, continuing the oscillation trend overall. Operational suggestions include shorting on rallies while being vigilant about the low - level cost support risk, paying attention to the spread opportunities between near - and far - month contracts, and considering inter - period arbitrage opportunities after the price rebounds to the resistance level, as well as using the covered call strategy to increase returns when appropriate [8][36][37]. 3.

Report Summary 1. Investment Rating No investment rating for the industry is provided in the report. 2. Core View The supply - demand mismatch in the egg market remains unchanged, and egg prices are oscillating at the bottom. The near - term futures contracts are suppressed by high short - term production capacity and may not perform well, while the support for the far - term contracts depends on the actual progress of production capacity reduction [9][69]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1. Market Review - **Futures Prices**: Last week, the egg futures market showed a differentiated performance. Near - term contracts declined weakly, and far - term contracts reached a new stage high during the week and then fell back. As of last Friday's close, the main egg contract JD2512 was reported at 3033 yuan per 500 kilograms, down 0.26%, and the JD2605 contract was reported at 3477 yuan per 500 kilograms, down 1.17% [6][15]. - **Spot Prices**: Last week, egg prices in the production and sales areas of the country increased month - on - month. The average price of eggs in the main production areas was 3.01 yuan per catty, up 0.1 yuan per catty or 3.43% month - on - month; the average price in the main sales areas was 3.06 yuan per catty, up 0.09 yuan per catty or 3.03% month - on - month [20]. - **Chick Prices**: The average price of commercial chicks in the country last week was 2.76 yuan per chick, up 0.01 yuan per chick or 0.36% from the previous week, with a year - on - year decline of 25.2%. The current utilization rate of hatching eggs is about 50%, and some are as high as 60% - 70%. Medium and large - scale enterprises maintain rigid replenishment, and the overall egg market is still in a situation of strong supply and weak demand [24]. - **Old Hen Prices**: Driven by the slight increase in egg prices in the production and sales areas, the price of old hens rebounded slightly last week. The average price of old hens in the sample market was 4.14 yuan per catty, up 0.02 yuan per catty or 0.49% month - on - month [28]. 3.2. Fundamental Analysis - **Supply Side** - **Laying Hen Inventory**: In October, the national inventory of laying hens was 1.311 billion, showing a month - on - month decline. There is an expectation of a decline in the inventory in the fourth quarter, but the effect of production capacity reduction is slow. It is expected that the inventory of laying hens will hardly fall below 1.3 billion before the end of the year [33]. - **Production Area Shipment Volume**: The shipment volume of the main egg production areas decreased month - on - month last week. The shipment volume in the sample market was 6186.06 tons, down 1.81% month - on - month and 18.96% year - on - year [37]. - **Old Hen Slaughter Volume**: The total slaughter volume of old hens in the sample points last week was 631,200, up 0.64% month - on - month, with an average slaughter age of 494 days, with the highest average age being 510 days and the lowest being 480 days [41]. - **Demand Side** - **Sales Volume in Sales Areas**: The sales volume of eggs in the sales areas increased month - on - month last week. The sales volume of eggs in the representative sales areas was 6501.44 tons, up 0.21% month - on - month and down 4.91% year - on - year [44]. - **Arrival Volume in Sales Areas**: In Beijing, the arrival volume was 95 trucks, up 5 trucks or 5.56% month - on - month; in Guangdong, the arrival volume was 580 trucks, down 35 trucks or 6.42% month - on - month [47]. - **Old Hen Slaughter Analysis**: The total weekly slaughter volume of old hens in the sample slaughter enterprises last week was 2.4775 million, an increase of 99,900 or 4.2% from the previous week [48][50]. - **Inventory Situation**: As of last Friday, the national production - link inventory was 1.1 days, and the circulation - link inventory was 1.37 days [54]. - **Laying Hen Breeding Cost and Profit**: The average breeding cost of laying hens last week was 3.44 yuan per catty, up 0.01 yuan per catty or 0.29% month - on - month. The breeding profit was - 0.43 yuan per catty, up 0.09 yuan per catty or 17.31% month - on - month. Although the breeding profit rebounded slightly, it was still in the loss range [58]. - **Related Products** - **White - Feathered Broilers**: The average price of white - feathered broilers in the country last week was 3.45 yuan per catty, with a month - on - month decline of 1.15% and a year - on - year decline of 8.24%; the average price of white - feathered chicks was 3.35 yuan per chick, down 0.10 yuan per chick or 2.90% month - on - month, with a year - on - year decline of 22.09% [63]. - **817 Small White Chickens**: The weekly average price of 817 small white chickens in the national market was 3.81 yuan per catty, down 0.03 yuan per catty or 0.78% from the previous week [68]. 3.3. Market Outlook The main egg contract encountered obvious resistance near 3240 yuan last week. The futures market lacks supply - demand fundamental support and then started to oscillate and decline. The spot egg price remained between 2.9 - 3.1 yuan per catty, hovering around the feed cost line, and has not significantly stimulated the farmers' willingness to slaughter, resulting in slow production capacity reduction. Therefore, the near - term contracts are suppressed by short - term high production capacity and may not perform well, while the support for the far - term contracts still depends on the actual progress of production capacity reduction [9][69]. 3.4. Operation Strategy - **Single - Side Trading**: Hold short positions cautiously and continuously monitor the culling progress of the breeding end. - **Arbitrage**: Pay attention to the 01 - 05 reverse arbitrage opportunity. - **Options**: Wait and see [10][70].

Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided in the report. Core View of the Report - The natural rubber market is influenced by a mix of bullish and bearish factors with no clear driving force, and the market is expected to remain range - bound in the short term. Key factors to monitor include Sino - US trade relations, anti - dumping policies in Europe and the US, weather conditions in rubber - producing areas, raw material output, terminal demand changes, and the progress of zero - tariff policies [8][9][84]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Price Analysis Futures Price - Last week, the price of the natural rubber main contract RU2601 ranged from 14,955 to 15,415 yuan/ton, showing a slightly bullish and upward trend.

The Qingdao natural rubber arrival price was 2,070 US dollars/ton, up 40 US dollars/ton from the previous week [17][20]. Basis and Spread - Using the spot price of Shanghai's Yunnan state - owned whole latex (SCRWF) as the spot reference and the futures price of the natural rubber main contract as the futures reference, the basis narrowed slightly last week. As of November 14, 2025, the basis was - 415 yuan/ton, 30 yuan/ton less than the previous week. The domestic and foreign prices of natural rubber both rose slightly last week [24][27]. Important Market Information - The US government ended its longest - ever "shutdown", which boosted market sentiment. The US economy showed signs of weakness, and there were different views within the Federal Reserve on interest rate cuts. China's October economic data showed a slowdown in growth in multiple indicators, while CPI and PPI showed certain positive changes. The automotive market had mixed performance, with new energy vehicle sales growing and passenger car sales declining in October [28][30][31]. Supply - side Situation - As of September 30, 2025, the monthly output of synthetic rubber in China was 774,000 tons, a year - on - year increase of 13.5%, and the cumulative output was 6.616 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 11.2%. The import volume of new pneumatic rubber tires in China was 10,600 tons, a month - on - month increase of 13.98%. In September 2025, the total output of major natural rubber - producing countries increased by 48,300 tons or 4.89% month - on - month, with varying production trends in different countries [39][44][48]. Demand - side Situation - As of November 13, 2025, the operating rate of semi - steel tire enterprises was 73.68%, up 0.01% from the previous week, and that of all - steel tire enterprises was 65.46%, down 0.96% from the previous week. As of September 30, 2025, China's monthly automobile production and sales increased year - on - year and month - on - month, and the monthly sales of heavy - duty trucks increased significantly year - on - year and month - on - month. The monthly output of Chinese tire casings increased slightly year - on - year, and the export volume of new pneumatic rubber tires decreased month - on - month [54][58][61]. Inventory - side Situation - As of November 14, 2025, the natural rubber futures inventory on the Shanghai Futures Exchange was 108,470 tons, down 10,500 tons from the previous week. As of November 9, 2025, China's natural rubber social inventory was 1.0563 million tons, a month - on - month increase of 0.03%, and the total inventory in Qingdao was 449,500 tons, a month - on - month increase of 0.40% [81]. Fundamental Analysis - On the supply side, the global natural rubber production areas are in the peak season, with cost support. In October 2025, China's imports of natural and synthetic rubber increased slightly year - on - year, and the cumulative imports from January to October increased significantly. On the demand side, the operating rate of tire enterprises changed little last week, with continued inventory accumulation. Terminal passenger car sales declined in October, and tire exports showed a mixed trend. With the cooling weather, demand is expected to weaken. In terms of inventory, the futures exchange inventory decreased last week, while the social and Qingdao total inventories increased slightly [82][83]. Viewpoint and Operation Strategy - This week's view is that the natural rubber futures main contract is expected to remain range - bound in the short term. The operation strategy is to maintain a range - trading approach for single - side trading, consider going long on RU2601 and short on RU2609 for arbitrage, and stay on the sidelines for options trading [86][88].

Group 1: Report Summary - The weekly futures prices of oils and fats showed a divergent trend. The Y2601 soybean oil contract rose 0.88% to close at 8,256 yuan/ton, the P2601 palm oil contract fell 0.18% to close at 8,644 yuan/ton, and the OI2601 rapeseed oil contract rose 4.09% to close at 9,923 yuan/ton [5][30]. - The current price of US soybeans is running strongly, and the fluctuation of the RMB exchange rate has increased the uncertainty of the forward soybean import cost, providing bottom support for soybean oil and making it highly resistant to decline. The palm oil market mainly focuses on the change of supply and demand dynamics in the producing areas. The news of the implementation of Canada's biodiesel policy boosted market sentiment. Coupled with the continuous tight supply of domestic rapeseed oil, the market's bullish sentiment is high, and the futures price of rapeseed oil has increased significantly. In addition, the high inventory of soybeans at domestic ports and the slow recovery of the terminal catering demand for oils and fats will also suppress the upward space of oil prices. It is expected that oils and fats will run in a range [9][31][32]. Group 2: Important Information Palm Oil - On November 10, MPOB released the official supply and demand data of Malaysian palm oil for October. The production in October was 2.044 million tons, exports were 1.693 million tons, and inventory was 2.464 million tons, a month-on-month increase of 4.4%. Malaysian palm oil rose 0.36% [6]. - The production in October increased 11% month-on-month, slightly lower than MPOA's estimate of 2.07 million tons. Exports in October increased 18.6% month-on-month, far exceeding the previous market estimate of 1.47 - 1.48 million tons. The inventory estimate was close to the initial estimates of Bloomberg and Reuters at 2.44 million tons but lower than the adjusted estimated inventory of 2.5 - 2.6 million tons after MPOA's production data adjustment [30]. Soybean Oil - USDA released the November supply and demand data. In this report, the carry-over stock of old US soybeans in the 2024/25 season was lowered from 330 million bushels to 316 million bushels. For the new balance sheet of US soybeans in the 2025/26 season, the yield per acre was lowered from 53.5 bushels/acre to 53 bushels/acre. The crush remained unchanged at 2.555 billion bushels, exports were lowered from 1.685 billion bushels to 1.635 billion bushels, and the carry-over was lowered from 300 million bushels to 290 million bushels. The report data was basically in line with market expectations, and the yield data was not surprising, with the impact on prices showing as the exhaustion of bullish factors. US soybeans rose 0.47% this week [7][31]. Group 3: Spot Analysis - As of November 14, 2025, the spot price of Grade 4 soybean oil in Zhangjiagang was 8,560 yuan/ton, up 30 yuan/ton from the previous trading day.

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Core View of the Report - The fundamentals of methanol remain weak, and methanol is likely to continue its downward trend. In the short term, the demand for methanol downstream olefins is clearly weak, and there is no expectation of a contraction in domestic supply for the time being. Attention should be paid to import pressure. If the supply and demand remain weak, methanol will still operate weakly. A bear spread strategy can be considered [1][8][9] Summary by Related Catalogs 1. Methanol Trend Review - Last week, the supply and demand of methanol continued to be weak, and methanol futures continued to fall. By the close on Friday afternoon, the weighted methanol closed at 2,133 yuan/ton, a decrease of 2.82% from the previous week. In the spot market, the high inventory situation at ports continued, and under high supply pressure, the port methanol market continued to decline. Although there was a short - term rebound due to the news of large - scale plant shutdowns inland, the rebound was limited, and the overall port price fluctuated and declined. The price in Jiangsu ranged from 2,050 to 2,200 yuan/ton, and in Guangdong from 2,080 to 2,190 yuan/ton. In the inland market, the supply - demand pattern remained weak. With the sharp decline in the futures market and the continuous back - flow of port goods, market sentiment was significantly impacted. Later in the week, as some plants in the production area shut down and the external procurement demand for olefins increased, the market sentiment improved, and some low - priced goods were withheld from sale, with local prices stopping falling and rebounding. The price in the northern line of Ordos in the main production area ranged from 1,965 to 2,005 yuan/ton, and the receiving price in Dongying, a downstream area, ranged from 2,155 to 2,223 yuan/ton [12] 2. Methanol Fundamental Analysis 2.1 Production - According to Longzhong Information, last week (October 31 - November 6, 2025), China's methanol production was 1,992,055 tons, an increase of 26,860 tons from the previous week. The plant capacity utilization rate was 87.79%, a month - on - month increase of 1.36% [15] 2.2 Downstream Demand - As of November 6, the capacity utilization rates of some downstream methanol products were as follows: - Olefins: The load of olefin enterprises in East China was slightly adjusted. The load of Luxi in Shandong was at a low level, while the load of Hengyou in Xinjiang increased. After offsetting, the industry's operation continued to decline. The average weekly capacity utilization rate of MTO plants in Jiangsu and Zhejiang was 82.97%, a decrease of 0.79 percentage points [17] - Dimethyl ether: The capacity utilization rate was 5.79%, a month - on - month decrease of 0.52%. The Lianxin plant was shut down after a short - term operation, and other plants had no shutdown or maintenance plans. The loss was greater than the recovery, so the overall capacity utilization rate declined [17] - Glacial acetic acid: Last week, the second - phase plant of Huayi in Guangxi malfunctioned and shut down, and Shunda reduced its load. Other plants maintained their previous loads, so the load continued to decline [17] - Chlorides: The operation rate of methane chlorides last week was 63.54%. Although some plants increased their loads, some plants in Luxi, Shandong and Huatai in Dongying shut down, and the plant of Dongyue in Shandong reduced its load. The overall capacity utilization rate still showed a downward trend [19] - Formaldehyde: The operation rate last week was 41.75%. The Wende Cheng plant increased its load, and the recovery was greater than the loss, so the overall capacity utilization rate increased [19] 2.3 Inventory - As of November 5, 2025, the inventory of China's methanol sample production enterprises was 386,400 tons, an increase of 10,400 tons from the previous period, a month - on - month increase of 2.75%; the orders to be delivered of sample enterprises were 221,100 tons, an increase of 5,500 tons from the previous period, a month - on - month increase of 2.57% [21] - As of November 5, 2025, the inventory of China's methanol port samples was 1,517,100 tons, an increase of 10,600 tons from the previous period, a month - on - month increase of 0.70%. The visible unloading of foreign vessels last week was 232,000 tons, and the invisible unloading was 113,800 tons, with some unloading not yet included. The提货 in the Yangtze River area of Jiangsu was weak, while the demand in Zhejiang remained stable. The inventory in South China ports decreased slightly. In Guangdong, both foreign and domestic vessels arrived at the port. With the stable demand of local and surrounding downstream industries, the提货 from mainstream storage areas increased, and the inventory decreased. In Fujian, foreign vessels continued to unload, and there were still some vessels being unloaded not yet included in the inventory. With the rigid demand consumption of downstream industries, the inventory also decreased [23] 2.4 Profit - According to Longzhong Information, last week (October 31 - November 6, 2025), the average weekly profit of domestic methanol samples continued to be poor, and the profitability of each route continued to be squeezed. The average weekly profit of coal - to - methanol in Inner Mongolia in the northwest was - 218.20 yuan/ton, a month - on - month decrease of 42.06%; the average profit of coal - to - methanol in Shandong was - 304.60 yuan/ton, a month - on - month decrease of 74.73%; the average profit of coal - to - methanol in Shanxi was - 286.60 yuan/ton, a month - on - month decrease of 30.99%; the average weekly profit of methanol made from coke oven gas in Hebei was 149.00 yuan/ton, a month - on - month decrease of 27.32%; the average weekly profit of methanol made from natural gas in the southwest was - 314.00 yuan/ton, a month - on - month decrease of 20.77%. With the gradual release of seasonal demand, the coal price has gradually risen recently, and the cost of methanol has increased accordingly. In addition, the gas price was raised as scheduled in early November, and the cost pressure of gas - to - methanol has also increased. The weak supply and demand of methanol are prominent, and the overall willingness to hold goods is weak, suppressing the price decline. Therefore, the profitability of methanol production by various processes continues to be squeezed [25] 3. Methanol Trend Outlook - Supply: This week, there may be more restarts than overhauls of domestic methanol plants. It is expected that China's methanol production will be about 2.0084 million tons this week, with a capacity utilization rate of about 88.51%, an increase from last week [30] - Downstream demand for methanol: - Olefins: Hengtong in Shandong is expected to shut down, and the loads of enterprises in the northwest and east are expected to increase. After offsetting, the industry's operation will decline slightly [32] - Dimethyl ether: There are no overhaul plans for dimethyl ether plants this week. If there are no unexpected shutdowns or startups of other plants, the overall capacity utilization rate is expected to remain flat [32] - Glacial acetic acid: It is expected that the Thorpe plant will restart after maintenance this week, and the capacity utilization rate is expected to increase [33] - Formaldehyde: After the restart of the Wende Cheng plant this week, it will continue to operate stably. Other plants have no shutdown or overhaul plans, and the capacity utilization rate is expected to increase slightly [33] - Chlorides: Some previously shut - down plants may restart this week, and the overall capacity utilization rate may increase [34] - Inventory: The inventory of China's methanol sample production enterprises is expected to be 378,700 tons this week, showing a slight de - stocking trend. Some large plants in the production area shut down unexpectedly last week, resulting in a decrease in supply. At the same time, the external procurement demand for olefins provided support, and enterprises in most regions sold goods at a discount, driving an improvement in signing. Under the combined effect of supply and demand factors, it is expected that the inventory of sample enterprises will decrease slightly this week. In terms of port inventory, it is expected that the visible unloading volume of foreign vessels will be high, and the port methanol inventory may continue to accumulate next week. The unloading speed of foreign vessels should be specifically monitored. Overall, the supply and demand of methanol remain loose, there is no substantial positive driving force for the fundamentals, and methanol is likely to remain weak in the short term [34]
