1. Report Industry Investment Rating - PX/PTA/PF/PR are short - term neutral and medium - term bearish. For PX, the supply - demand outlook in the fourth quarter is significantly weakened, with the shift from de - stocking to inventory accumulation and weakened support below. For TA, the near - term fundamentals are okay, but there is still inventory accumulation pressure due to new device commissioning expectations. For PF, the short - term supply - demand is better than the raw material end, but the upward momentum is weak. For PR, the spot processing fee is expected to fluctuate in a range, and attention should be paid to raw material price fluctuations [5][6]. 2. Core View of the Report - Cost side: Oil prices rebounded this week. Geopolitical factors such as Ukraine's attacks on Russia and EU sanctions on "shadow oil tanker fleets" affected the market. The development of the geopolitical situation and the OPEC meeting during the National Day should be followed up [1]. - PX: China's PX operating rate is 86.7% (up 0.5% week - on - week), and Asia's is 78% (down 0.3% week - on - week). The domestic PX load has gradually recovered, but the PXN is still under pressure due to the postponement of fourth - quarter maintenance plans and capacity expansion of some devices. The supply - demand outlook in the fourth quarter is weakened [1]. - TA: China's PTA operating rate is 76.8% (unchanged week - on - week), and the spot processing fee is 205 yuan/ton. The PTA load has changed little, and the processing fee has recovered. The inventory accumulation in October - November is narrowed, but there is large inventory accumulation pressure in December [2]. - Demand: The operating rate of Jiangsu and Zhejiang looms is 70.0% (up 4.0% week - on - week), and the polyester operating rate is 90.3% (down 1.1% week - on - week). The weaving and texturing loads have increased, and the filament sales have improved, but the polyester load increase is limited, and the sustainability of demand improvement should be concerned [2]. - PF: The direct - spinning polyester staple fiber operating rate is 95.4% (unchanged week - on - week). The supply - demand of direct - spinning polyester staple fiber is better than the raw material end in the short term, and the demand at the low price is okay [3]. - PR: The bottle - chip factory operating rate (based on maximum capacity) is 67.8% (down 4.2%). The supply - demand pressure is still large under the commissioning pressure of new devices, and the spot processing fee is expected to fluctuate in a range [4]. 3. Summary According to the Catalog Price and Spread - The report presents the trends and spreads of TA, PX, PF, and PR's main contracts, as well as the processing fees of PX, PTA, short - fiber, and bottle - chip, etc. [10][11][12][16][26][29] PX and PTA Supply - It shows the operating rates of PTA in China, South Korea, and Taiwan, as well as the PX loads in China and Asia [46][47][52]. Inventory - Displays the social inventories of PTA and PX, and the warehouse inventories of PTA, PX, and PF [57][60][66]. Demand - Covers the sales of filaments and short - fibers, the polyester load, the operating rates of looms, texturing machines, and printing and dyeing machines in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the profits of filaments [68][72][74][77][82][84]. PF Supply, Demand and Inventory - Includes the load of polyester staple fiber, the factory's equity inventory days, the physical and equity inventories of 1.4D, the operating rates of pure - polyester yarn and polyester - cotton yarn, and their production profits and inventories [92][96][97][98][101]. PR Supply, Demand and Inventory - Presents the load of polyester bottle - chips, the factory's bottle - chip inventory days, the spot and export processing fees, and the export profits of bottle - chips [110][111][115].

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Core Viewpoints - The high - sulfur fuel oil market structure has shown signs of stabilization, with reduced supply pressure and marginal improvement in refinery demand. However, there is still resistance above the valuation due to potential seasonal consumption decline. The low - sulfur fuel oil market has limited supply pressure, and there are long - term substitution risks, but the downside space is also limited [5]. - For high - sulfur fuel oil, the short - term outlook is neutral, and the medium - term outlook is downward. For low - sulfur fuel oil, the short - term outlook is neutral, and the medium - term outlook is downward. It is recommended to go long on the FU2511 - 2512 spread at low prices (positive spread trading) [6]. Summary by Related Catalogs Market Analysis - With the escalation of the geopolitical situation, crude oil prices rebounded this week, boosting the downstream energy sector. The fundamentals of high - sulfur fuel oil improved marginally, and the cancellation of some FU futures warehouse receipts strengthened the futures market structure. The weekly increase of the FU main contract was 4.36%, and that of the LU main contract was 1.9% [1]. Supply - **High - sulfur fuel oil**: In September, the expected shipments of high - sulfur fuel oil from Iran are 1280,000 tons, a month - on - month decrease of 50,000 tons and a year - on - year decrease of 460,000 tons; from Russia, 2.89 million tons, a month - on - month increase of 330,000 tons and a year - on - year decrease of 70,000 tons; from the Middle East, 2.5 million tons, a month - on - month decrease of 1.26 million tons and a year - on - year decrease of 1.12 million tons [2]. - **Low - sulfur fuel oil**: In September, the expected shipments of low - sulfur fuel oil from Nigeria are 530,000 tons, a month - on - month increase of 220,000 tons and a year - on - year increase of 530,000 tons; from Kuwait, 240,000 tons, a month - on - month decrease of 130,000 tons and a year - on - year decrease of 150,000 tons.

Overall, the supply pressure of low - sulfur fuel oil is still limited [2]. Demand - Although the impact of US tariffs on shipping demand has not been fully reflected, there is still downward pressure on trade and shipping demand in the medium term. High - sulfur fuel oil demand in the marine fuel sector is more resilient, but the summer power generation demand has not exceeded the seasonal level. The demand for low - sulfur fuel oil in the marine fuel sector is average, and its market share is being gradually replaced [3]. Inventory - This week, the fuel oil inventory in Singapore was 22.804 million barrels, a week - on - week decrease of 10.26%; the fuel oil inventory in Zhoushan Port was 1.19 million tons, a week - on - week increase of 10.19% [4].

Hua Tai Qi Huo· 2025-09-28 09:40
Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Core Views - The lithium carbonate futures market maintained a volatile trend this week. The main contract 2511 closed at 72,880 yuan/ton on Friday, with a weekly decline of 1.46% and a position volume of 248,640 tons. Spot prices changed little, and spot trading was average. When futures prices declined, it stimulated some point-price procurement demand [2]. - On the supply side, the weekly output of lithium carbonate increased slightly to 20,516 tons. Output from various sources such as spodumene, mica, salt lakes, and recycling all showed different degrees of change [2]. - On the consumption side, the output of lithium iron phosphate decreased by 0.08% month-on-month, while that of ternary materials, cobalt acid lithium, and manganese acid lithium increased. Downstream production was expected to increase, and the demand in the terminal power battery and energy storage markets supported the demand for lithium salts, but the actual replenishment was lower than expected [3]. - In terms of inventory, the total inventory decreased by 705 tons compared to last week. Inventory continued to transfer, with an increase in downstream replenishment inventory and a decrease in smelter inventory [3]. - In terms of profit, lithium ore prices fluctuated slightly, and overseas mines were reluctant to lower prices. Enterprises using externally purchased raw materials relied on futures hedging to balance profits and losses. Enterprises with their own ore sources and salt lake lithium extraction had significant cost advantages and relatively stable profit margins [3]. - The output of lithium hydroxide increased slightly this week. Due to high upstream spodumene prices and production line maintenance, the overall supply capacity of the lithium hydroxide market remained tight [4]. Strategy - The futures market maintained a volatile trend in the short term. There was some support from consumption, and the pre - National Day replenishment demand still existed. Although the disturbance in the ore sector weakened, it did not end completely. If mines resumed production and consumption weakened in the future, the market might be weak [5]. - For unilateral operations, short - term range trading was recommended. If the market rebounded significantly, selling hedging could be considered. There were no specific strategies for inter - period, inter - variety, spot - futures, and options trading [5].
