Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided Group 2: Core Views - Tariff cuts and emergency plant shutdowns have led to the valuation repair of styrene, with the styrene-pure benzene spread widening to a new high for the year. Driven by profits, some maintenance plants have returned ahead of schedule, and there is an expectation of increased supply. However, it will take time for the increased supply to result in port inventory accumulation. Currently, the May styrene paper cargo is at the end of the delivery period, and the short-covering demand of short sellers has strongly supported the May basis. In the short term, prices are supported, but in the medium to long term, styrene is about to enter the off-season of demand, and prices are expected to decline [3]. Group 3: Summary by Relevant Catalogs Price Forecast - The monthly price forecast for styrene is in the range of 7,000 - 7,800 yuan/ton. The current 20-day rolling volatility is 29.64%, and the historical percentile of the current volatility over the past three years is 85.5% [2]. Hedging Strategies - **Inventory Management**: For enterprises with high finished product inventory worried about styrene price drops, they can short styrene futures (EB2507) with a 25% hedging ratio and enter the market at 7,200 - 7,300 yuan/ton. They can also sell call options (EB2507C7400) with a 50% hedging ratio and enter at 80 - 110 yuan [2]. - **Procurement Management**: For enterprises with low regular inventory and aiming to purchase based on orders, they can buy styrene futures (EB2507) with a 50% hedging ratio and enter the market at 7,050 - 7,150 yuan/ton. They can also sell put options (EB2507P7000) with a 75% hedging ratio and enter at 90 - 120 yuan [2]. Core Contradictions - Tariff cuts and emergency plant shutdowns have led to styrene valuation repair, and the styrene-pure benzene spread has widened to a new high for the year. Driven by profits, some maintenance plants have returned ahead of schedule, increasing supply. However, it will take time for the increased supply to lead to port inventory accumulation. Currently, the May styrene paper cargo is at the end of the delivery period, and short-covering demand has strongly supported the May basis. In the short term, prices are supported, but in the medium to long term, styrene is about to enter the off-season of demand, and prices are expected to decline [3]. Bullish Factors - As of May 22, 2025, the sample inventory of Chinese styrene factories was 186,400 tons, a decrease of 26,200 tons from the previous period, a month-on-month decrease of 12.32%, indicating a significant decline in factory inventory [4]. - The raw material inventory of current styrene downstream factories is low, and the replenishment demand provides some support for styrene prices [5]. Bearish Factors - As of May 26, the port inventory of pure benzene in Jiangsu was 143,000 tons, a month-on-month increase of 11.72%. Starting from late May, previously traded European pure benzene has been arriving in Asia, and there are recent market rumors of new European-Asian pure benzene orders, so the subsequent import volume of pure benzene is expected to remain high [5]. - The downstream demand for pure benzene continues to deteriorate, and many downstream plants have planned maintenance in May and June, resulting in a continuous oversupply of pure benzene [7]. - As of May 26, 2025, the port inventory of styrene in Jiangsu was 74,600 tons, an increase of 14,700 tons from the previous period, a 44.19% increase [7]. - The 450,000-ton styrene plant of Shenghong and the 720,000-ton styrene plant of Li Huayi are planned to restart soon, increasing styrene supply [7]. - Styrene is gradually entering the off-season of demand [7]. Price and Spread Data - Various price and spread data for styrene, pure benzene, and related products on May 27, 2025, compared with previous days, including paper cargo prices, spot prices, basis, and production margins, are provided in detail [9][10][11].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the given content. 2. Core View of the Report - Glass: If the low price persists, attention should be paid to the increase in cold - repair expectations. Although the valuation of glass is relatively low, the short - term fundamentals and cost support are weak [3]. -纯碱: The pressure on the futures market continues. Newly invested production capacity may gradually release output, and the maintenance cannot provide short - term support. With the cost decline, there is still profit in the industrial chain. It should be treated bearishly, and further price cuts by soda ash plants are needed for the continuous decline of soda ash prices [3]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs 3.1 Glass and Soda Ash Price Range Forecast - Glass price range forecast (monthly): 900 - 1200, current 20 - day rolling volatility is 27.22%, and the historical percentile of the current volatility in 3 years is 43.9% [2]. - Soda ash price range forecast (monthly): 1100 - 1400, current 20 - day rolling volatility is 29.95%, and the historical percentile of the current volatility in 3 years is 44.9% [2]. 3.2 Glass and Soda Ash Hedging Strategies - Glass inventory management: For high - inventory situations, to prevent inventory losses, sell FG2509 glass futures at a 50% hedging ratio with an entry range of 1100; sell FG509 call options at a 50% hedging ratio with an entry range of 20 - 30, which can also lock in the spot selling price [2]. - Soda ash inventory management: For high - inventory situations, to prevent inventory losses, sell SA2509 soda ash futures at a 50% hedging ratio with an entry range of 1350; sell SA509 call options at a 50% hedging ratio with an entry range of 40 - 50, which can also lock in the spot selling price [2]. 3.3 Core Contradictions - Glass: The industrial chain faces over - supply pressure in the future; the off - season of demand and weak expectations have not triggered new cold - repair expectations [3]. - Soda ash: There is a consensus on over - supply expectations, and there are still new production capacities in the long - term; the cost continues to decline, and there is still profit in the industrial chain [3]. 3.4利多解读 - Glass: The supply side remains in a low - fluctuation state; the futures price is approaching the full - industrial - chain loss state; at low prices, cold - repair expectations are disturbing [3]. - Soda ash: The maintenance of manufacturers from May to June is gradually being realized; exports exceed expectations, alleviating the domestic over - supply pressure [3]. 3.5利空解读 - Glass: There is still ignition expectation on the supply side, and there is no large - scale cold - repair expectation; the actual demand is weak; the overall social inventory is high, and the off - season is coming [3]. - Soda ash: New production capacities continue to be put into operation; the social inventory is at an absolute historical high; there is still profit in the industrial chain [3]. 3.6 Glass Futures Price and Monthly Spread - On May 27, 2025, the price of glass 05 contract was 1127, down 3 (- 0.27%) from the previous day; the price of 09 contract was 1031, up 12 (1.18%); the price of 01 contract was 1084, up 3 (0.28%) [4][6]. - The monthly spread (5 - 9) was 96, down 15 from the previous day; the monthly spread (9 - 1) was - 53, up 9; the monthly spread (1 - 5) was - 43, up 6 [6]. 3.7 Glass Spot Price - On May 27, 2025, the average price of glass in the Shahe area was 1155.8, down 0.4 from the previous day [7]. - The prices of 5mm float glass in various regions remained unchanged on that day [7]. 3.8 Soda Ash Futures Price and Monthly Spread - On May 27, 2025, the price of soda ash 05 contract was 1268, down 20 (- 1.55%) from the previous day; the price of 09 contract was 1231, down 23 (- 1.83%); the price of 01 contract was 1212, down 25 (- 2.02%) [8]. - The monthly spread (5 - 9) was 37, up 3 (8.82%) from the previous day; the monthly spread (9 - 1) was 19, up 2 (11.76%); the monthly spread (1 - 5) was - 56, down 5 (9.8%) [8]. 3.9 Soda Ash Spot Price and Spread - On May 27, 2025, the prices of heavy and light soda ash in most regions remained unchanged, except that the heavy - soda ash price in the East China region decreased by 50 [8]. - The spread between heavy and light soda ash varied by region, with values such as 100 in North China, 50 in South China, etc. [8].

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided Group 2: Core Viewpoints - After this round of price increases, the valuation of styrene has been restored, and the styrene - pure benzene spread has widened to a new high for the year. Driven by profits, some maintenance - scheduled plants ended maintenance ahead of schedule recently, increasing supply and alleviating the near - term spot shortage. As a result, both the styrene - pure benzene spread and the absolute price of styrene have started to decline. Subsequently, styrene is gradually entering the off - season for demand, and its price is expected to move downward [3] Group 3: Summary by Related Catalogs 1. Price Forecast and Hedging Strategies - The monthly price range forecast for styrene is 7200 - 7800, with a current 20 - day rolling volatility of 29.94% and a historical percentile of 86.2% (3 - year) [2] - For inventory management when product inventory is high and there are concerns about price drops: 1) Short styrene futures (EB2507) with a 25% hedging ratio at an entry range of 7400 - 7500 to prevent inventory depreciation. 2) Sell call options (EB2507C7600) with a 50% hedging ratio at an entry range of 80 - 140 to collect premiums and reduce capital costs, and lock in the spot selling price if the price rises [2] - For procurement management when the regular inventory is low and procurement is based on orders: 1) Buy styrene futures (EB2507) with a 50% hedging ratio at an entry range of 7200 - 7300 to prevent price increases from raising procurement costs. 2) Sell put options (EB2507P7000) with a 75% hedging ratio at an entry range of 60 - 100 to collect premiums and reduce procurement costs, and lock in the spot purchase price if the price drops [2] 2. Core Contradiction - After the price increase, styrene's valuation was repaired, and the spread with pure benzene widened. Profit - driven early - ended maintenance increased supply, easing the spot shortage and causing price drops. Entering the off - season, the price is expected to fall [3] 3.利多解读 (Likely Positive Factors) - As of May 19, 2025, the styrene port inventory in Jiangsu was 5.21 tons, a decrease of 0.46 tons (- 8.11%) from the previous period, approaching the 5 - ton mark [4] - Recently, styrene plants of Hengli and Zhejiang Petrochemical have shut down successively, tightening the near - term spot liquidity [4] 4.利空解读 (Likely Negative Factors) - In April, China's pure benzene imports were 44.81 tons, a 16.12% month - on - month decrease but a 69.57% year - on - year increase, still at a high level. From late May, previously - traded European pure benzene will arrive in Asia, and there are new orders, so future imports are expected to remain high [7] - The downstream demand for pure benzene continues to deteriorate, and many downstream plants plan maintenance in May - June, leading to a continuous oversupply of pure benzene [7] - The 45 - ton styrene plant of Shenghong and the 72 - ton styrene plant of Lihuayi plan to restart soon, alleviating the current spot shortage of styrene [7] - The current tariff cut has not brought a large number of new export orders to the terminal market, and styrene is gradually entering the off - season [7] 5. Styrene Basis and Price Changes - The basis of East China - EB05, EB06, EB07, and EB08 all increased on May 22, 2025, compared with May 21, 2025 [8] - The prices of styrene futures contracts (EB2505, EB2506, EB2507, EB2508) and spot prices in different regions (East China, South China, North China, Shandong) all decreased on May 22, 2025, compared with May 21, 2025 [8][9] - The EB non - integrated profit increased by 15.85 yuan/ton, while the EB integrated profit decreased [9] - The profits of some downstream products such as phenol and aniline increased, while the profits of HIPS and GPPS decreased [9]

Summary by Relevant Catalogs Log Price Range Forecast - The monthly price range forecast for logs is 750 - 820 yuan/m³, with a current 20 - day rolling volatility of 17.06% and a 3 - year historical percentile of 75.8% [2]. Log Hedging Strategy Table Inventory Management - When log imports are high and inventory is at a high level, and there are concerns about price drops, for long - position inventory, it is recommended to short log futures (lg2507) with a 25% hedging ratio at an entry range of 850 - 790 yuan/m³ to lock in profits and cover production costs. Also, buy put options (lg2507P800) with a 50% hedging ratio at an entry range of 9.5 - 14 yuan to prevent sharp price drops, and sell call options (lg2507C850) at an entry range of 5.5 - 7.5 yuan to reduce capital costs [2]. Procurement Management - When the regular procurement inventory is low and procurement is based on orders, for short - position inventory, it is recommended to buy log futures (lg2507) with a 50% hedging ratio at an entry range of 750 - 800 yuan/m³ to lock in procurement costs. Sell put options (lg2507P750) with a 75% hedging ratio at an entry range of 5.5 - 12 yuan to collect premiums and reduce procurement costs, and lock in the spot log purchase price if the price drops [2].

Due to the decline in foreign shipping profits in April and May, the contract signing volume decreased, and the reduction in arrivals will be reflected in June. Port inventory was 3.41 million m³, a week - on - week decrease of 20,000 m³ and a year - on - year decrease of 3.4%. The average daily port outbound volume was 61,400 m³, a week - on - week decrease of 1,000 m³. It is expected that June - July will see a pattern of weak supply and demand. The price difference between wood squares and logs in Rizhao is trending wider, and downstream profits are rising. Currently, the basis of almost all log specifications is positive, but there is some market controversy about the deviation of the size difference. Attention should be paid to the spot feedback of subsequent supply reduction and subsequent delivery games. The market is expected to fluctuate weakly [3].
