Report Industry Investment Rating - The rating for methanol is "Bullish" [7] Core Viewpoint - The report believes that methanol will likely be in a relatively strong position in the second half of 2025. Supply - side production is less likely to exceed expectations, and there are still factors disturbing the supply such as environmental protection restrictions and geopolitical issues. On the demand side, although the prices and profits of downstream products are expected to face pressure, the high - operation rate of MTO and the synergistic effect of integrated plants will support the overall operation rate. Potential geopolitical disturbances and concerns about Iranian natural gas supply may affect imports and port inventories, leading to a bullish outlook [5]. Summary by Directory 1. First - half Review - In the first half of 2025 (before the Israel - Iran conflict), methanol futures prices showed an overall downward trend, mainly due to upstream cost collapse and demand - side concerns. The domestic coal price dropped from 760 yuan/ton at the beginning of the year to around 620 yuan/ton at the end of June, compared with around 850 yuan/ton in the same period last year. Methanol downstream demand was weak, with the traditional demand sectors like dimethyl ether, MTBE, and BDO having a downward - trending operation rate. MTO, although with a high operation rate, was in a loss state [16]. 2. Supply - In the second half of the year, the cost side will have limited incremental impact on the overall fundamentals. Coal prices are expected to remain low, so the profit of coal - to - methanol is likely to stay high, and the operation rate will probably remain strong. The market capacity growth rate in the second half of the year is expected to be limited (about 3 - 5%). Although the probability of maintenance increases, the operation rate will still be at a high level. It is expected that the production growth rate of methanol in the second half of the year will be 4% [21][24][25]. 3. Demand - The profit of MTO is likely to face long - term pressure and fall into a difficult situation. However, MTO may continue to maintain a high operation rate in the second half of the year due to the synergistic effect of integrated plants. Traditional downstream industries have their profits compressed, which may cause a certain decline in the operation load. For example, dimethyl ether is in the stage of capacity replacement and clearance, formaldehyde is in a situation of oversupply, and MTBE has a high inventory pressure. In emerging demand, DMC's demand support may strengthen in the third quarter, and the demand for methanol as fuel is expected to expand [32][43][51]. 4. Imports - In the second half of the year, many factors may limit the overall increase in imports. Considering the uncertainty of the regional situation, seasonal gas restrictions, and plant load - reduction expectations at the end of the year, the import volume may remain at a historical low. Under the neutral assumption of geopolitical conflict alleviation, the import volume in the second half of the year is expected to reach about 6.5 million tons; under the extreme assumption of Iran completely restricting supply, the import volume may be about 3 million tons [70]. 5. Inventory - The inland inventory is expected to remain at a historical low in the second half of the year due to the increased probability of centralized maintenance and limited new capacity release. The port inventory may decline under the pressure of the import side, and the overall inventory accumulation expectation is limited. It is predicted that the year - end social inventory will be at a historical low of 2.16 million tons [74][78]. 6. Investment Advice - Methanol prices are expected to show a relatively strong and volatile performance. On the supply side, the high operation rate of coal - to - methanol is expected to continue, but the maintenance expectation may affect futures prices. On the demand side, although the profit of MTO and traditional downstream industries is under pressure, the high operation rate of MTO and the synergistic effect of integrated plants will support the overall operation rate. Considering potential geopolitical disturbances and seasonal factors, imports are likely to remain low, and port inventory accumulation is limited. The price is expected to be supported during the third - quarter maintenance period, with the lower support around 2300 yuan and the upper limit around 2600 yuan [81].

Medium - to - long - term: Long soybean meal and palm oil on dips; short live hogs on rallies [3][87][88]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1上期策略回顾 - Corn: The price performance in the past two months was generally in line with expectations.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The rating for stock index futures is "oscillation" [4] 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The economic data in June 2025 was mixed. Although the Q2 GDP growth exceeded expectations, the demand declined significantly in June, with negative month - on - month growth in social retail and fixed - asset investment. Constraints on China's economic rebound are accumulating, including declining resident income, deteriorating real estate, and deepening deflation. For the stock market, due to the negative beta truncation effect of the national team's entry into the market, funds continue to drive the stock index up. It is recommended to allocate each stock index evenly to cope with the rapidly rotating market [1][2][8] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 June Economic Data Analysis - **GDP situation**: The real GDP in Q2 increased by 5.2% year - on - year, exceeding market expectations. The Q2 GDP had a 1.1% quarter - on - quarter growth, better than last year. However, the nominal GDP growth rate in Q2 was only 3.94%, a 0.65% decline from Q1. Low prices are still eroding the real growth rate [8] - **Supply - demand situation**: On the supply side, the industrial added value and service production index in June maintained a growth rate of about 6%. On the demand side, the year - on - year growth rates of social retail and fixed - asset investment in June were 4.8% and - 0.1% respectively, lower than market expectations and showing a decline from the previous month. The month - on - month growth rates were negative, at a poor level compared to historical data. Consumption growth highly depends on subsidies, and the fiscal impulse from the early issuance of national debt is fading [12] - **Real estate situation**: In June, the real estate investment growth rate was - 12.9%. The new construction area and sales area and amount all showed negative growth, and housing prices were accelerating their decline. The total capital source of real estate enterprises was still in a low - level shock. The real estate market has been deteriorating since Q2, and policies are needed to stop the decline [20] - **Resident income situation**: In Q2, the growth rate of per - capita disposable income of residents was 5.08%, a 0.47% decline from Q1. Except for the increase in transfer net income, other income sources such as wage income and business net income declined. The pressure on domestic consumption will increase in the second half of the year [27] - **Industrial capacity utilization situation**: The industrial capacity utilization rate in Q2 was 74%, a 0.1% decline from Q1. The mining and public utility industries were the main drags, while the manufacturing industry increased slightly. Some industries such as electronic information manufacturing and electrical equipment manufacturing saw an increase in capacity utilization, which may be related to export and investment [31] 3.2 Investment Suggestions - Although theoretically a GDP growth rate of about 4.7% in the second half of the year can achieve the full - year target, there are accumulating unfavorable factors for the economic rebound. It is necessary to increase the subsidy for consumer goods replacement and the efforts to stabilize the real estate market. For the stock market, unless there is a major change in US tariffs on China or a rapid decline in China's economic growth in Q3, the market may still ignore the fundamentals and remain in a high - level oscillation. It is recommended to evenly allocate each stock index to cope with the rapidly rotating market [2][35]

It is expected that the TRSCG growth rate will decline slightly in the second half of the year [32][33] 3.2 Bond Market Outlook - In July, the bond market should be mainly oscillating.

The strategy is to lay out long - term long positions on dips [3][36] - **Strategies**: Short - term oscillation, long - term bullish, focus on the strategy of laying out long - term long positions on dips; the opportunity for futures positive arbitrage has significantly decreased; the curve strategy should be on the sidelines for the time being [38][39]
