1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the content. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The core contradictions affecting the propylene trend include macro - sentiment and policy disturbances, relatively stable spot supply - demand, significant suppression from the main downstream PP, and PDH profit pressure. The propylene 03 contract may oscillate in the range of 5500 - 6000 yuan/ton in the short term. [2][3] - In the near - term, the trading logic is influenced by the overall loose fundamentals and the weak PP trend, with high enterprise inventories and continuous pressure from PP supply - demand. In the long - term, there are expectations of supply - side production capacity expansion, PP terminal demand falling short of supply growth leading to inventory accumulation, and cost - side pressure due to increased supply. [6][10] - The market is in an oscillating and weakening state, and may experience small rebounds due to some macro - factors, but is expected to maintain a weakening oscillation in the short term. Attention should be paid to policy implementation and PDH unit maintenance. [15] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Core Contradictions and Strategy Recommendations 3.1.1 Core Contradictions - **Macro - sentiment and Policy Disturbances**: The recent futures market has been affected by "anti - involution" news, driving some chemical products to rebound at low levels, which should be regarded as a rebound before the improvement of fundamentals. [2] - **Spot Supply - Demand**: The overall supply - demand difference has changed little this week. On the supply side, Guangzhou Petrochemical increased its load, Jinghai Chemical restarted, and Qinghai Salt Lake shut down, with little change in overall production and start - up rates. On the demand side, it increased slightly this week. PP start - up decreased slightly, while the start - up of other downstream products such as propylene oxide decreased slightly and n - butanol increased slightly. In the Shandong market, supply increased and demand decreased, and prices fell under pressure. [2] - **Main Downstream PP Suppression**: PP supply is sufficient, and the price difference with propylene is at a low level. The spot - end price difference is 265 yuan/ton this week, and the main futures - contract price difference is also at a low level. Although the price difference is at a low level, there has been no large - scale PP maintenance, and the price remains weak overall. [2] - **PDH Profit Pressure**: The price of external propane remains strong. The current PDH cost is about 6200 - 6500 yuan/ton, and the industry is in a continuous loss state. Attention should be paid to the possible negative feedback caused by profit contraction. Although there are rumors of some PDH unit maintenance, the actual implementation needs to be tracked. [3] 3.1.2 Trading - type Strategy Recommendations - **Market Positioning**: Oscillating and weakening, with the PL03 price range at 5500 - 6000 yuan/ton. The overall market remains oscillating and weakening, may rebound slightly due to some macro - factors, but is expected to maintain a weakening oscillation in the short term. Attention should be paid to policy implementation and PDH unit maintenance. [15] - **Basis, Calendar Spread, and Hedging Arbitrage Strategy Recommendations** - **Basis Strategy**: Oscillating and narrowing. The spot price weakened slightly this week, and the futures oscillated upwards, causing the basis to narrow. Attention should be paid to unit maintenance. [16] - **Hedging Arbitrage Strategy**: Expand the PP - PL spread when it is low and wait; expand the PL/PG ratio and wait. The spot - end price difference between PP pellets and propylene is about 265 yuan/ton, and the main futures - contract price difference is 499 yuan/ton. One can enter the market when the price difference is low and pay attention to PP unit maintenance. There are rumors of PDH unit maintenance, so one can expand the PDH profit when the price is low and consider expanding the PP/PL and PG ratio in the domestic market. [16] 3.1.3 Industrial Customer Operation Recommendations - **Propylene Price Range Forecast**: The price range is predicted to be 5500 - 6000 yuan/ton, with the current 20 - day rolling volatility at 0.1254 and the historical percentage of the current volatility in the past 3 years at 0.5277. [17] - **Propylene Hedging Strategy Table** - To prevent inventory depreciation losses, enterprises can short - allocate propylene futures at high prices according to their inventory levels to lock in profits. For PL2603, the hedging ratio is 50%, and the recommended entry range is 6100 - 6200 yuan/ton. [19] - Sell call options to collect premiums and reduce costs. If the spot price rises, the selling price can be locked. For PL2603C6000, the hedging ratio is 25%, and the recommended entry range is 60 - 80. [19] - To prevent the increase in procurement costs due to rising propylene prices, enterprises can buy propylene futures at low prices and lock in procurement costs through futures trading. For PL2603, the hedging ratio is 25%, and the recommended entry range is 5500 - 5600 yuan/ton. [19] - Sell put options to collect premiums and reduce procurement costs. If the propylene price falls, the spot purchase price can be locked. For PL2603P5500, the hedging ratio is 25%, and the recommended entry range is 40 - 60.

[24] 3.3 Futures Market Interpretation 3.3.1 Price - Volume and Capital Interpretation - **Domestic Market**: The PL03 contract oscillated this week. The net positions of the main profitable seats increased, there were no obvious changes in the top 5 long and short positions in the dragon - tiger list, the net long positions of the profitable seats decreased slightly, the net long positions of foreign capital decreased slightly, and the net long positions of retail investors increased slightly. Technically, it is still a rebound in a downward trend on the daily chart and may turn into an oscillation in the range of 5600 - 6000 yuan/ton. [22] - **Basis and Calendar Spread Structure**: The propylene 03 basis closed at - 58 yuan/ton this week, compared with - 278 yuan/ton last week. The spot price fell this week, and the futures oscillated upwards. The propylene 02 - 03 calendar spread closed at - 24 yuan/ton, compared with - 44 yuan/ton last week. [26] 3.4 Valuation and Profit Analysis 3.4.1 Up - and Downstream Profit Tracking in the Industrial Chain - **Upstream Profit**: The gross profit of major refineries this week was 664 yuan/ton (+50), and the gross profit of Shandong local refineries was 428 yuan/ton (-43). The start - up rate at the cracking end changed little this week. The PDH profit with FEI as the cost was - 346 yuan/ton (-73), and the PDH profit with CP as the cost was - 529 yuan/ton (-44). PDH remained in a loss state. Propane cracking profit declined significantly, and the cracking economy of LPG was inferior to that of naphtha. [28][29][30] - **Mid - stream Profit**: No specific profit data was provided, only some seasonal charts were presented. [31] - **Downstream Profit**: The price difference between PP拉丝 and propylene was 265 yuan/ton (+100), and the price difference between PP powder and propylene was 305 yuan/ton (+200). As the propylene price weakened, the price difference repaired slightly at the low level. The profit of the propylene oxide chlorohydrin method was 533 yuan/ton (+346.5), and the profit was still good. The profit of acrylonitrile was - 1333 yuan/ton (+51), and the overall loss was still large. The profit of acrylic acid was - 178 yuan/ton (-22), and the profit weakened. Currently, there is a divergence between profit and start - up rate, and attention should be paid to the subsequent start - up situation. The profit of n - butanol was 72 yuan/ton (+99), and the overall profit of n - butanol was around the break - even point. The profit of octanol was +580 yuan/ton (+180). As the supply decreased, the profit repaired at the low level. However, the 450,000 - ton unit of Bohua Yongli is expected to start in January, and Jiangsu Huachang is increasing its load. The profit of phenol - acetone was - 938 yuan/ton (-7), and the profit was weak. Currently, PO and butyl - octanol have a little profit, while others are basically in a loss state. [33] 3.4.2 Import - Export Profit Tracking The price difference between Chinese and South Korean propylene has been stable recently, with CFR China at 740 US dollars (0 change). [47] 3.5 Supply - Demand and Inventory Deduction 3.5.1 Supply - Demand Balance Sheet Deduction in the Shandong Market This week, in the Shandong market, supply increased and demand decreased slightly, and the spot price declined. The increase in supply mainly came from the increased load of PDH and the restart of the Jinghai unit. The decrease in demand came from the maintenance of the Jinneng and Yulong units in the PP sector and the maintenance of some units in the PO and acrylonitrile sectors. [49] 3.5.2 Market Supply - side and Deduction This week, there were both start - ups and shutdowns. The propylene output was 1.2271 million tons (+0.03), and the start - up rate was 74.11% (-0.1%), still at a relatively high level. The 210,000 - ton steam cracking unit of Jinghai Chemical was under maintenance, and the 160,000 - ton MTO unit of Qinghai Salt Lake had a short - term shutdown this week. The estimated decline in Shandong's market output in January mainly includes the expected maintenance of Jinneng. [52][53] 3.5.3 Demand - side and Deduction - **PP**: The price difference between PP pellets and powder and propylene rebounded slightly this week, and the start - up rate of the pellet sector remained stable. The price difference between powder and propylene also rebounded slightly this week but was still at a low level, and maintenance increased. [58][62] - **Propylene Oxide**: This week, Zhonghai Jingxi, Guoen, and Bohua shut down, and Huatai reduced its load. The overall inventory continued to decline, returning to the level of the same period in 2022. [63] - **Acrylonitrile**: This week, Shandong Haijiang started maintenance, with an expected duration of 20 days. [65] - **Butyl - Octanol**: Jilin Petrochemical and Qilu Petrochemical's units shut down, Zhanjiang BASF and Zhejiang Satellite's units were in normal production, Shandong Luxi's unit maintained a low - load operation, and Jiangsu Shuguang had a 3 - day short - term shutdown. The 450,000 - ton unit of Bohua Yongli is expected to start in January; the 180,000 - ton new unit of Jiangsu Huachang is increasing its load; Shandong Jianlan restarted. [69] - **Acrylic Acid**: Qilu Petrochemical slightly reduced its load this week, and the capacity utilization rate was at a phased high. There is a divergence between start - up and profit. [72] - **Phenol - Acetone**: Moyiwei Chemical reduced its load, and Shandong Fuyu increased its load. [74] - **Shandong Regional Demand**: The regional demand in Shandong increased this week, and the increase mainly came from the restart and increased load of PP, PO, acrylonitrile, and octanol. [76]

Group 1: Investment Rating - No investment rating information is provided in the report. Group 2: Core Views - The tin market is currently under the double pressure of "falsification of supply anxiety" and "negative demand feedback." The previous core logic supporting the tin price to reach 348,000 yuan/ton was the "expectation of raw material shortage," but this logic is weakening. The supply bottleneck is being broken by the recovery of trade flows, while the demand side has a strong rejection reaction due to high prices. The accumulation of social inventory at the end of the peak consumption season falsifies the "shortage" proposition. The decline in photovoltaic module production and weak consumer electronics orders make the downstream demand extremely fragile. As a result, the high - valuation of tin prices has lost its fundamental anchor, and the market logic is switching from "strong expectation" to "weak reality," with a downward trend being the path of least resistance [2]. - In the short - term, with the end of the Christmas holiday and the approaching year - end closing, the willingness of long - position funds to withdraw is stronger than to attack. The spot market is in a "high - price but no - trading" situation. The continuous closure of the import window fails to prevent inventory accumulation, indicating weak domestic demand. Without sudden supply disruptions, the market will be dominated by short - sellers [4]. - Looking forward to Q1 2026, the long - term structural contradiction in the tin market will shift from "mineral shortage" to "mismatch between smelting capacity expansion and demand interruption." Although the current tin ore processing fee in Yunnan is at a historical low, it reflects a stock game. With the expected resumption of production in Myanmar and the supplement of imported ore sources, the supply of refined tin is expected to increase slightly year - on - year in Q1 2026. However, the demand side is weak. If there is no substantial restocking in consumer electronics in Q1 2026, the tin price may face a deep valuation adjustment and return to the cost line [7]. Group 3: Strategy Recommendations Trading - type Strategy Recommendations - **Futures Unilateral**: Short at high prices. The logic is the alleviation of supply anxiety, inventory accumulation, and year - end capital withdrawal. It is recommended to place short orders in the range of 338,000 - 342,000 yuan, with a target price of 325,000 yuan and a stop - loss above the previous high of 348,000 yuan [11]. - **Option Strategy**: Buy put options or use bear spreads. The logic is that volatility may increase as prices fall, and buying out - of - the - money put options can bet on a rapid price correction [12]. - **Arbitrage Strategy**: Short near - term contracts and long far - term contracts (Contango structure trading). The logic is that domestic inventory is continuously accumulating and the spot is at a discount, so the monthly spread structure may deepen in the direction of Contango [13]. Industrial Customer Operation Recommendations - **Inventory Management**: For enterprises with high finished - product inventory worried about price drops, sell 75% of the main Shanghai tin futures contracts at around 350,000 yuan and sell 25% of SN2602C call options when the volatility is appropriate [14]. - **Raw Material Management**: For enterprises with low raw - material inventory worried about price increases, buy 50% of the main Shanghai tin futures contracts at around 330,000 yuan and sell 25% of SN2602P put options when the volatility is appropriate [14]. Group 4: This Week's Important Information and Next Week's Events This Week's Important Information - **Likely Positive Drivers**: Not provided in the report. - **Negative Information**: Inventory has accumulated, SMM's three - place social inventory has increased to 9,378 tons (weekly increase of 186 tons), and SHFE warehouse receipts have increased to 7,844 tons; demand has declined, with a 12.5% month - on - month decrease in global photovoltaic cell production in December and weak electronic consumption; supply has eased, with a surge in Indonesia's refined tin exports in November and a significant month - on - month increase in China's tin ore imports in November; spot trading is cold, with strong price - aversion sentiment and a "high - price but no - trading" situation [19]. - **Spot Transaction Information**: The price of Shanghai Non - ferrous tin ingots is 334,750 yuan/ton, down 2,350 yuan (- 0.7%); the 1 tin premium is 500 yuan/ton, up 300 yuan (150%); the price of 40% tin concentrate is 322,750 yuan/ton, down 2,350 yuan (- 0.72%); the price of 60% tin concentrate is 326,750 yuan/ton, down 2,350 yuan (- 0.71%); the price of 60A solder bar is 214,250 yuan/ton, down 1,000 yuan (- 0.46%); the price of 63A solder bar is 223,750 yuan/ton, down 1,500 yuan (- 0.67%); the price of lead - free solder is 340,750 yuan/ton, down 2,500 yuan (- 0.73%) [17]. Next Week's Important Events - **Domestic**: On December 31st, the official manufacturing PMI will be released to verify the changes in the prosperity of the electronics/photovoltaic industry chain. Throughout the week, monitor the change in spot inventory, as whether inventory stops accumulating is the key to a price stop - fall [17]. - **International**: Throughout the week, pay attention to the latest news on the resumption of production in Myanmar's Wa State (the biggest variable on the supply side) and the change in the proportion of LME inventory cancellation warrants (to check for the outflow of overseas hidden inventory) [20]. Group 5: Disk Interpretation Price, Volume, and Capital Interpretation - **Macro Sentiment**: The US has postponed the additional tariffs on Chinese chips for 18 months, and NVIDIA plans to deliver the H200 chip, easing concerns about the technology war [19]. - **Processing Fee at a Low Level**: The processing fee for 40% tin concentrate in Yunnan remains at 12,000 yuan/ton, and that for 60% ore in other regions remains at 8,000 yuan/ton, at a historical low [19]. - **LME Inventory**: LME inventory is 4,895 tons, still at a relatively low level, with only 160 tons in American inventory [19]. Domestic Market - **Unilateral Trend and Capital Movement**: This week, the weighted tin price contract closed at 338,500 yuan per ton. Currently, profitable positions are mainly long in net positions [22]. - **Basis and Monthly Spread Structure**: This week, the domestic term structure is in a C structure [24]. LME Market - **Monthly Spread Structure**: The LME tin term structure remains in a B structure this week [28]. Internal - External Price Difference Tracking - This week, the internal - external price difference was relatively stable, with narrow fluctuations. The tin import loss is 14,018.67 yuan/ton, down 515.1 yuan (3.81%); the 40% tin ore processing fee is 12,200 yuan/ton, unchanged; the 60% tin ore processing fee is 10,050 yuan/ton, unchanged [30]. Group 6: Valuation and Profit Analysis - The long - term low processing fees have put pressure on smelter profits and suppressed production willingness [32]. Group 7: Supply - Demand and Inventory Projection Supply Side and Projection - Although no specific supply projection data is provided, it is mentioned that with the expected resumption of production in Myanmar and the supplement of imported ore sources, the supply of refined tin is expected to increase slightly year - on - year in Q1 2026 [7]. Demand Side and Projection - The demand side is weak. The decline in photovoltaic module production and the continuous weakness of consumer electronics orders make the downstream demand extremely fragile. If there is no substantial restocking in consumer electronics in Q1 2026, the tin price may face a deep valuation adjustment [2][7].

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings No industry investment ratings are provided in the report. 2. Core Views of the Report Financial Futures - **Macro**: Overseas, the US GDP in Q3 grew by 4.3% year - on - year, and the employment market recovered, weakening the rate - cut expectation. Domestically, the government will continue to implement proactive fiscal and moderately loose monetary policies, with expanding domestic demand as the primary task next year. However, the domestic demand in November was weak, still needing policy support [2]. - **Renminbi Exchange Rate**: Although there is an expectation that the RMB will "break 7 and enter 6" in 2026, there are three potential risks. The RMB's real purchasing power is underestimated, and the narrowing of the Sino - US interest rate spread is the core trigger for its appreciation. The attractiveness of the capital market has become a key variable for the exchange - rate trend [4]. - **Stock Index**: In the short term, it is expected to fluctuate strongly. Although the market sentiment has improved, there is still pressure on the index due to the approaching year - end and tightened capital [7]. - **Treasury Bond**: Maintain a non - pessimistic view on the medium - term bond market. Hold mid - term long positions [8]. - **Container Shipping to Europe**: The market is in a narrow - range consolidation, weighing between "weak reality" and "strong expectation", waiting for a clear pre - holiday driver [9]. Commodities Non - ferrous Metals - **Platinum & Palladium**: In the medium - to - long term, the bull market foundation of platinum remains. In the short term, beware of adjustment risks due to the large futures - spot price difference and light spot trading [16]. - **Gold & Silver**: In the short term, gold is in a relatively strong state after breaking through the previous high, while silver has high price risks. In the medium - to - long term, maintain a bullish view [17]. - **Copper**: The copper price has exceeded the expected range. After reaching a new high, the long - short game intensifies, and the price volatility is expected to increase in Q1 [19]. - **Aluminum Industry Chain**: For aluminum, it is expected to fluctuate strongly in the medium term. For alumina, it is in an oversupply situation and is expected to run weakly. For cast aluminum alloy, it is expected to fluctuate strongly [21][22]. - **Zinc**: It is expected to maintain a high - level shock in the short term [23]. - **Nickel - Stainless Steel**: It is expected to have a wide - range shock [24]. - **Tin**: It is expected to have a wide - range shock, and it is recommended to operate within the range [25]. - **Lithium Carbonate**: In the short term, beware of sharp fluctuations. In the medium - to - long term, there are opportunities to go long on dips [26]. - **Industrial Silicon & Polysilicon**: Industrial silicon is in a supply - demand double - weak pattern, with value for long - term bottom - fishing. Polysilicon has deviated from the fundamentals, and new registered warehouse receipts should be monitored [27][28]. - **Lead**: It is expected to fluctuate between 16700 - 17500 in the short term [29]. Black Metals - **Rebar & Hot - Rolled Coil**: The steel price is expected to fluctuate at a low level, with the rebar 2605 contract between 2900 - 3300 and the hot - rolled coil 2605 contract between 3000 - 3400 [30][31]. - **Iron Ore**: It is expected to run within a range, with limited upside space after valuation repair [33]. - **Coking Coal & Coke**: As the terminal winter - storage replenishment approaches, the coking - coal inventory structure is expected to improve. For coke, if steel mills resume production quickly, the supply - demand structure is expected to improve [35][36]. - **Ferrosilicon & Ferromanganese**: They are expected to fluctuate strongly in the short term, but the upside space is limited, and they may follow the steel - price trend [37][38]. Energy and Chemicals - **Pulp - Offset Paper**: The current market is neutral. The "breaking 7" of the RMB brings macro - level benefits, and the price has rebounded from a low level. For offset - paper futures, the market sentiment has improved, and it is recommended to wait and see or try short - term long positions [39][40][41]. - **Crude Oil**: The escalating geopolitical situation between the US and Venezuela will drive up the short - term oil price. Follow - up attention should be paid to the development of the situation [43]. - **LPG**: The fundamentals are stable. The near - term price has support, while the expected price is under pressure [44][45]. - **PTA - PX**: PX is in a good supply - demand pattern and is expected to be easy to rise and difficult to fall. PTA's processing - fee expectation center moves up, but the space is limited [47][48][49]. - **MEG - Bottle Chip**: The demand for ethylene glycol is weakening, and the supply has initially shown support signals. The over - supply expectation will continue to suppress the valuation [50][51]. - **Methanol**: The fundamentals are mixed, with a near - term weak and long - term strong expectation. Hold the 1 - 5 reverse spread [53]. - **Pure Benzene - Styrene**: Pure benzene is in an over - supply situation, with an internal - weak and external - strong pattern. Styrene has changed from strong reality to weak expectation, and the follow - up should focus on relevant news [56]. - **Soda Ash & Caustic Soda**: Soda ash is in an over - supply situation, and the price is expected to be under pressure.
