The EC market is in a weak oscillation. The spot freight rate is at the top - falling stage.

MSK's WK6 Shanghai - Rotterdam quote dropped by $400/HC compared to last week. The demand is reaching a peak and then declining, and the supply has little change in the short term. The traditional off - season is from February to March, but the upcoming cancellation of export tax - rebate policy may lead to a rush shipment [6][7] - CMA decided to divert ships on some routes via the Cape of Good Hope due to geopolitical instability, which is expected to repair the backwardation of far - month contracts [6][7] Trading Strategy - **Single - side**: It is recommended to wait and see for the 04 contract due to many short - term disturbances and uncertainties in the rush - shipment strength. The far - month contracts are expected to repair the backwardation [9] - **Arbitrage**: Hold the 6 - 10 calendar spread long position [9] Group 4: Industry News - There are various geopolitical news, including issues related to Greenland, the US President's hope for a Gaza agreement, Israel - Iran relations, and the non - attendance of the Iranian Foreign Minister at the Davos Forum [10][11][13]

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the report Core Viewpoints - This week, the main contract of LPG changed from 2602 to 2603, with prices showing a weak trend. The previous concerns about restricted Iranian gas exports had significantly boosted the domestic market. However, President Trump's statement eased market panic, leading to a retracement of the geopolitical premium in oil prices. Based on the current fundamental data, both the domestic production volume and imports of LPG have slightly increased, while the chemical demand has slightly declined but still remains supported. Given the high costs for downstream chemical enterprises, the negative feedback from PDH may affect the operating rate. In the future, with an expected decline in PDH operating rate and no further escalation of geopolitical events, the futures price may face downward pressure [4]. - The trading strategy suggests a weak and volatile trend for single - sided trading, while recommending a wait - and - see approach for both arbitrage and options trading [5]. Summary by Directory Chapter 1: Comprehensive Analysis and Trading Strategy Comprehensive Analysis - The main LPG contract changed from 2602 to 2603, and prices were weak. Geopolitical concerns initially boosted the market, but Trump's statement led to a retracement of the geopolitical premium in oil prices. Supply increased slightly, and chemical demand decreased slightly but still had support. High costs for downstream enterprises may affect PDH operating rates, and future prices may face pressure [4]. Strategy - Single - sided trading: Weak and volatile. Arbitrage: Wait - and - see. Options: Wait - and - see [5]. Chapter 2: Core Logic Analysis Crude Oil - The previous oil price increase was a short - term rebound driven by geopolitical risks rather than a fundamental turnaround. After reaching a low in late 2025, oil prices had some upward momentum, driven by various geopolitical risks. The easing of Iranian geopolitical risks led to a retracement of the $3 - 5 per barrel premium. Globally, high inventories, stable OPEC+ and US production, and sufficient supply continue to limit the upside of oil prices [8]. Supply - The capacity utilization rate of major domestic refineries increased slightly by 0.26% to 77.24%, above the five - year average, with an expected increase in LPG supply. The capacity utilization rate of independent refineries decreased slightly by 0.32% to 61.01%, at a relatively low historical level. Overall LPG production increased slightly due to the increase in major refineries and the decrease in independent refineries [13]. Demand - Overall, chemical demand still has support, except for the low operating rate of alkylation. Attention should be paid to the PDH operating rate under continuous losses. The current PDH operating rate decreased by 2.54% to 73.07%, and is expected to decline further next week. The MTBE operating rate remains at a high level [15][17]. Inventory - Port arrivals increased slightly but remained at a low level. Ports continued to deplete inventory as imports were insufficient. Chemical demand decreased slightly, and downstream enterprises fulfilled previous low - price contracts, but overall arrivals were limited, resulting in some ports holding back inventory. Factory inventories also decreased slightly due to low supply and smooth sales. The inventory levels of tertiary stations varied by region, with stable low - level inventory in North China, a significant increase in South China, and stable inventory along the Yangtze River [20].

Report Summary 1. Investment Rating No investment rating for the industry is provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints - After the escalation and subsequent decline of the Iran situation, geopolitical risks have fluctuated more widely. The impact of the Venezuelan situation on oil prices has been gradually digested by the market, and the expectation of tight supply of asphalt raw materials has eased. However, the increase in raw material discounts has not been fully priced in, leading to high - level oscillations in asphalt. In terms of supply and demand, the off - season at the beginning of the year has arrived as expected, with both weekly supply and demand decreasing month - on - month. The industrial chain inventory remains at a low level, and the spot price is relatively firm. In the short term, the futures market is expected to oscillate at a high level [5]. - For trading strategies, the single - side trading of asphalt is expected to oscillate at a high level with increased geopolitical risk fluctuations.
