1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - For PX, last week, PXN oscillated downward. The main reasons were the postponement of PX maintenance plans, numerous unexpected maintenance of downstream PTA under low processing fees, and the delay of new device commissioning. The overall load was low, making it difficult for PX to reduce inventory. With weak terminal performance, PXN lacked the momentum to expand. Currently, PX load remains high, while downstream PTA has many unexpected short - term maintenance, with a low overall load center. The expected delay of new PTA device commissioning and PX maintenance is expected to continue the PX inventory accumulation cycle. The valuation is currently at a moderately low level. It is recommended to wait and see in the short term [11]. - Regarding PTA, last week, PXN continued to be weak, PTA processing fees rebounded, and the overall price slightly decreased. The valuation was slightly repaired, but the upward space was relatively limited. On one hand, the terminal performance continued to be weaker than expected. On the other hand, even though PTA continued to reduce inventory through maintenance, the long - term outlook was still weak under the commissioning pressure. In the future, the unexpected maintenance volume on the supply side remains high, and the inventory reduction pattern will continue. However, due to the weak long - term pattern, the processing fee space is limited. On the demand side, the inventory and profit pressure of polyester and chemical fiber are low, and the load is expected to remain high. But the weak terminal performance exerts pressure on raw materials. In terms of valuation, PXN is continuously affected by the weak terminal performance and the continuous unexpected maintenance of PTA under low processing fees. The upward valuation needs to be driven by the improvement of the terminal or the maintenance of raw materials. It is recommended to wait and see in the short term [12]. - Concerning MEG, the industrial fundamentals show that the load of domestic and overseas devices is at a high level, and the domestic supply is high. But in the short term, due to the low port arrival volume, the port inventory is expected to be low. In the medium term, as imports arrive in a concentrated manner and the domestic load is expected to remain high, coupled with the gradual commissioning of new devices, the inventory will increase in the fourth quarter. The current valuation is relatively high year - on - year. It is recommended to short - allocate on rallies under the weak outlook, but beware of the risk that the weak expectation may not be realized [13]. 3. Summary According to the Directory 3.1.

The US clothing wholesale inventory was lower than the pre - pandemic high, and the inventory increased marginally [211][219][223].

Report on Glass 1. Investment Rating No investment rating information is provided in the report. 2. Core View The market sentiment showed a trend of first declining and then rising during the week. Driven by the strengthening of futures, local trading improved slightly. However, the overall terminal demand remained weak, with downstream procurement being cautious and a strong wait - and - see sentiment. On the supply side, there were limited adjustments to production lines, and the market supply was relatively abundant. Enterprises mostly maintained stable prices for shipments, with actual transactions flexibly adjusted. Regional inventory performance was significantly differentiated, with better destocking effects in East, Central, South, and Northwest China, while North and Southwest China still faced certain inventory accumulation pressure. Fundamentally, the market lacked unilateral driving factors, and the price fluctuation range was limited. From a trading perspective, the trading volume and open interest decreased this week, and the willingness of funds to enter the market was not strong, but the price center continued to rise. As the "Golden September and Silver October" period approaches, the trading volume is expected to form support at low levels, and it is advisable to try long positions at low levels with a light position [14]. 3.

Report on Soda Ash 1. Investment Rating No investment rating information is provided in the report. 2. Core View On the supply side, it was generally stable. Some plants such as Anhui Hongsifang and Hubei Xindu resumed production one after another, but short - term local shutdowns for maintenance still led to a slight contraction in the industry's operating load, and the overall supply showed narrow - range fluctuations. Downstream demand was mainly for rigid procurement. The pre - holiday stocking willingness of some enterprises gradually increased, and they replenished inventory in moderation at low prices, driving the enterprise inventory to show a downward trend. Some manufacturers' orders were basically fully signed, and the mentality of stabilizing prices was strengthened. However, the current industry supply was still at a relatively high level, and the absolute inventory level was still relatively high, so the upward driving force of the fundamentals was still limited. From a trading perspective, the trading volume this week was small, and an effective breakthrough could not be formed. The form was relatively loose, and it was still in a volatile market. It was recommended to be cautious [63]. 3. Summary by Directory 01.

Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints - The short - term recommendation is to wait and see, as the ore price has short - term support but may face pressure after the rainy season; the over - capacity pattern in the alumina smelting end is difficult to change in the short term, the inventory accumulation trend continues, and the opening of the import window may exacerbate the oversupply situation. However, the increasing expectation of the Fed's interest rate cut may drive the non - ferrous sector to run strongly. The reference operating range for the domestic main contract AO2601 is 2800 - 3100 yuan/ton, and attention should be paid to supply - side policies, Guinea's ore policies, and the Fed's monetary policy [11]. Summary by Directory 1.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Despite the complete dissipation of geopolitical premiums, the macro - environment is not bearish. Although OPEC has "in principle" started to lift a new round of production cuts, this is more of a test of the "vulnerability" of the current crude oil market by Middle Eastern officials. If the oil price center rises after one month, greater production increases are expected. Therefore, it is still a window for going long in the short term. The short - term oil price is relatively undervalued, and its static fundamentals and dynamic forecasts still perform well. The current oil price has presented a good opportunity for left - hand side layout, and the fundamentals will support the current price. If the geopolitical premium re - opens, the oil price will regain upward space [15][16] - Overall, the upward space for oil prices in the second half of the year is limited. As OPEC's gradual production increase is implemented, the wide - range oscillation center of oil prices is expected to move down slightly. Since shale oil will still play a bottom - supporting role, it is difficult to have a continuous trend market, and grasping the driving rhythm will be more important [21] 3. Summary According to the Directory 3.1 Week - on - Week Assessment & Strategy Recommendation - **Market Review**: This week, crude oil continued its low - level oscillation pattern. The upper limit of the oil price was suppressed by macro - political factors, and the oil price fluctuations gradually converged, moving towards bottom consolidation and value restoration [15] - **Supply - Demand Changes**: OPEC discussed advancing the release of a 1.6 - million - barrel - per - day production cut plan at this meeting, and will start to lift the production cut (increase production) by 137,000 barrels per day in October. Russia announced a monthly production cut of 85,000 barrels per day from July to November and an additional cut of 9,000 barrels per day in December. It also supported extending the gasoline export ban until November. US refinery demand declined due to reduced imports, and shale oil maintained normal fluctuations. The overall crude oil fundamentals were relatively healthy, and the crack spread remained strong [15] - **Macro - Political Factors**: At the macro level, the US FOMC statement cut interest rates by 25 basis points to 4.00% - 4.25%, restarting the interest - rate cuts that had been suspended since December last year. Powell said that this interest - rate cut was a risk - management - style cut. Overall, the Fed's statement on the subsequent interest - rate cut pace was neutral, and it believed that near - term inflation was high from the PCE perspective, but also acknowledged the risks in the labor market. Politically, the Iranian deputy foreign minister said that Europe's move to restart sanctions was an excuse to escalate the situation. The Caribbean Sea began to be monitored and surrounded by the US Navy, and the geopolitical situation in Venezuela was tense. The Russian foreign minister said that Russia was willing to continue communicating with the US, and Russia saw that the US also had the same intention [15] 3.2 Macro & Geopolitical - **Short - Term High - Frequency Macro Indicators**: The report presents charts of the US ISM manufacturing PMI, the Citigroup G10 economic surprise index, the US 10 - year inflation expectation, and the US long - short - term spread in relation to the WTI oil price, which can be used to analyze the short - term impact of macro factors on oil prices [38] - **Medium - Term Macro Forecast Indicators**: The report includes charts of the euro - zone investment confidence index and the euro - zone PMI, the US investment confidence index and the US PMI, the US GDP growth rate forecast and the US crude oil consumption growth rate, and the GDP growth rate forecasts of major global countries, which can be used to predict the medium - term impact of macro factors on oil prices [44] - **Geopolitical Indicators**: The report shows charts of the Middle East geopolitical risk index and the high - frequency export statistics of sensitive oil from Iran, Libya, Venezuela, and Russia in relation to the WTI oil price, which can be used to analyze the impact of geopolitical factors on oil prices [47] 3.3 Oil Product Spreads - **Forward Curve**: The report provides charts of the WTI crude oil forward curve, the near - far structure of various crude oils, the WTI crude oil M1/M4 monthly spread, and the WTI crude oil M1 price, which can be used to analyze the forward price trends of crude oil [51] - **Inter - regional Spreads**: The report presents charts of INE/WTI, MRBN/WTI, Brent/WTI, and Brent/Dubai spreads, which can be used to analyze the price differences between different regions [56][58] - **Product Spreads**: The report includes charts of the LGO diesel forward curve, the near - far structure of refined oil products, RB/HO, and LGO/RB spreads, which can be used to analyze the price differences between different oil products [64][69] - **Crack Spreads**: The report provides charts of the crack spreads of gasoline, diesel, high - sulfur fuel oil, and low - sulfur fuel oil in Singapore, Europe, and the US, which can be used to analyze the profitability of oil refining [74][77][80] 3.4 Crude Oil Supply - **Supply from OPEC & OPEC+**: OPEC has carried out a series of production cut and production increase plans. For example, in 2025, it advanced its oil production increase plan multiple times, and on September 7, it advanced the plan to lift production cuts, with a production increase of 137,000 barrels per day in October. OPEC+ also issued a new production cut plan to make up for over - production, with a monthly production cut of 189,000 - 435,000 barrels per day until June 2026. The report also presents the production, quota, and idle capacity of OPEC and OPEC+ countries, as well as the supply and export volume forecasts of OPEC 12 countries and OPEC+ major member countries [86][88][92] - **Supply from the US**: The US Treasury announced the most severe sanctions on Iran since 2018. The SPR funds were significantly cut from $1.3 billion to $171 million. The US announced a series of policies and statements, including providing defensive weapons to Ukraine, expressing satisfaction with the $64/barrel oil price, hoping that China and India would buy more US crude oil, and considering lifting sanctions on Venezuela. The US also had some policies related to refinery profit caps and trade issues [118][119]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Views of the Report - For industrial silicon, the supply - demand sides have no significant changes.

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The economic data in August was slightly lower than expected, with both supply and demand sides showing a decline. The "anti-involution" policy boosted price expectations, but the coordination between demand and production needs further observation. Exports may face pressure due to the overdrawn pre-export effect and the rising base in the second half of the year. The US cut interest rates in September, and the subsequent degree of easing depends on inflation changes caused by tariffs [10]. - The central bank's attitude towards capital support remains unchanged, and overall, it is expected that the capital will remain loose in the future. Against the background of weak domestic demand recovery and the expectation of continued loose capital, interest rates may have downward space, but the short-term trend of the bond market will be mainly volatile, considering the seesaw effect between stocks and bonds [12]. - The fundamentals of the bond market still need improvement. The downward adjustment space of the bond market is limited. In the long term, the bond market should be considered for buying on dips [13]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 1.

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the document Core Viewpoints - The fundamentals show that the comprehensive profit of enterprises has declined, the valuation pressure has decreased, the maintenance volume is low, and the production is at a historical high. In the short term, multiple new devices will be tested. On the downstream side, domestic operations have improved. Regarding exports, the anti - dumping tax rate in India has been determined, and exports are expected to weaken after implementation. The cost of calcium carbide has continued to rebound, while caustic soda has declined, leading to stronger overall valuation support. In the medium term, the industry is continuously suppressed by the significant increase in production capacity and the continuous decline in real - estate demand, and the industry pattern has deteriorated. It is necessary to rely on export growth or the implementation of policies to clear old devices to consume the excess domestic production capacity. Overall, given the current situation of strong supply and weak demand in China, with the weakening export outlook, even if the downstream has improved recently, it is still difficult to change the pattern of oversupply. The fundamentals are poor. In the short term, there will be a small rebound due to stronger valuation support, improved domestic demand, and a better commodity atmosphere. In the medium term, pay attention to short - selling opportunities on rallies [11] Summary by Directory 1. Weekly Assessment and Strategy Recommendation - **Cost and Profit**: The price of Wuhai calcium carbide is reported at 2,600 yuan/ton, a week - on - week increase of 200 yuan/ton; the price of Shandong calcium carbide is reported at 2,840 yuan/ton, a week - on - week increase of 60 yuan/ton; the price of medium - grade semi - coke in Shaanxi is 680 yuan/ton, a week - on - week increase of 20 yuan/ton. In terms of profit, the comprehensive profit of chlor - alkali integration has decreased, while the profit of ethylene - based production has increased slightly. Currently, the valuation support is neutral [11] - **Supply**: The PVC capacity utilization rate is 77%, a month - on - month decrease of 3%. Among them, the utilization rate of calcium carbide - based production is 76.9%, a month - on - month decrease of 2.5%; the utilization rate of ethylene - based production is 77.1%, a month - on - month decrease of 4.2%. Last week, the supply - side load decreased mainly due to the reduced loads of enterprises such as Shaanxi Beiyuan, Gansu Jinchuan, Zhongtai, Henan Yuhang, and Haohua. The load is expected to pick up slightly next week. The overall maintenance volume in September is expected to decline, and multiple devices are expected to be commissioned and put into production, further increasing the supply pressure [11] - **Demand**: Regarding exports, the final anti - dumping tax rate ruling result in India has been announced, and China's tax rate is at a significant disadvantage compared to other countries. Exports are expected to decline after implementation. The operations of the three major downstream industries continued to improve last week. The load of the pipe industry is 39.1%, a month - on - month increase of 1.5%; the load of the film industry is 76.9%, remaining flat month - on - month; the load of the profile industry is 39.4%, a month - on - month increase of 0.2%. The overall downstream load is 49.2%, a month - on - month increase of 1.7%. The overall downstream operations have stabilized and improved. Last week, the pre - sales volume of PVC was 756,000 tons, a week - on - week increase of 67,000 tons [11] - **Inventory**: Last week, the in - factory inventory was 306,000 tons, a week - on - week decrease of 4,000 tons; the social inventory was 954,000 tons, a week - on - week increase of 19,000 tons; the overall inventory was 1.26 million tons, a week - on - week increase of 16,000 tons; the number of warehouse receipts continued to rise. Currently, it is still in the inventory accumulation cycle, and the upstream inventory is gradually transferred to the mid - stream. Under the pattern of strong supply and weak demand, the inventory accumulation is expected to continue [11] 2.
