Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content Core Viewpoints of the Report - Crude oil prices are expected to be volatile. Although short - term geopolitical disturbances and potential declines in US crude oil production have led to a short - term upward repair in market sentiment, the over - production of Kazakhstan and Iraq, and the expected increase in supply from OPEC+ may put pressure on prices [1]. - Fuel oil prices are expected to be volatile. The reduction in East - West arbitrage arrivals in May will support the low - sulfur market, and high - sulfur fuel oil is also supported by the expected improvement in Middle - East summer power generation demand. However, the low raw material procurement demand and the arrival of Middle - East supplies will also have an impact [2]. - Asphalt prices are expected to be volatile. With the repair of processing profits, supply is expected to increase. The expected acceleration of special bond issuance and the start of terminal projects with the warming weather will support demand, but attention should be paid to the pressure brought by the increase in supply [2]. - Polyester prices are expected to be volatile and weak. The decline in the prices of PX, PTA, and EG, the weak sales of polyester yarns, and the maintenance of some devices all indicate a weak market [2][4]. - Rubber prices are expected to be volatile and weak. Although Thailand's proposal to reduce import tariffs and the postponement of the rubber tapping season may support the market, the high raw material prices may lead to high tapping enthusiasm, and the weak terminal demand will still put pressure on prices [4][5]. - Methanol prices are expected to be volatile and weak. The supply is expected to increase, while the demand will remain relatively stable in May, leading to a loosening of spot price support [6]. - Polyolefin prices are expected to be volatile and weak. Although the supply is expected to decline due to refinery maintenance, the demand will enter the off - season, and the inventory decline will slow down [6]. - PVC prices are expected to be in low - level volatility. The real - estate construction off - season will reduce the demand for PVC downstream products, and the approaching implementation of the Indian BIS certification may lead to a decline in exports [7]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Research Views - Crude Oil: On Tuesday, WTI June contract closed at $59.09/barrel, up $1.96 or 3.43%; Brent July contract closed at $62.15/barrel, up $1.92 or 3.19%; SC2506 closed at 465.9 yuan/barrel, up 8.1 yuan or 1.77%.

The reduction in East - West arbitrage arrivals in May will support the low - sulfur market, and high - sulfur fuel oil is supported by the expected improvement in Middle - East summer power generation demand [2]. - Asphalt: On Monday, BU2506 closed at 3,424 yuan/ton, up 2.42%. With the repair of processing profits, supply is expected to increase. The expected acceleration of special bond issuance and the start of terminal projects will support demand [2]. - Polyester: TA509 closed at 4,362 yuan/ton, down 1.62%; EG2509 closed at 4,130 yuan/ton, down 0.6%. The sales of polyester yarns in Zhejiang and Jiangsu are weak, and some devices are under maintenance [2][4]. - Rubber: On Tuesday, RU2509 closed at 14,815 yuan/ton, up 260 yuan/ton; NR closed at 12,555 yuan/ton, up 270 yuan/ton. Thailand proposes to reduce import tariffs, and the rubber tapping season is postponed, but the terminal demand is weak [4][5]. - Methanol: On Tuesday, the spot price in Taicang was 2,420 yuan/ton. The supply is expected to increase, and the demand will remain relatively stable in May [6]. - Polyolefins: On Tuesday, the mainstream price of PP in East China was 7,150 - 7,300 yuan/ton. The supply is expected to decline due to refinery maintenance, but the demand will enter the off - season [6]. - PVC: On Tuesday, the price in the East - China PVC market decreased. The real - estate construction off - season will reduce the demand for PVC downstream products, and the inventory pressure will increase [6][7].
