Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Report's Core View - Current geopolitical risks have gradually been released, and oil prices have deviated significantly from macro and fundamental guidance. Oil prices have reached a reasonable range, and short positions can still be held, but it is not advisable to chase short positions [2]. - For methanol, after the geopolitical situation cools down and crude oil prices drop sharply, the market will gradually return to its own supply - demand fundamentals. The overall contradiction is limited, and it is recommended to wait and see [4]. - For urea, the geopolitical sentiment has cooled down, and the overall supply - demand is still relatively loose. There is no unilateral trend in the short term, and it is recommended to wait and see [6]. - For rubber, it is not pessimistic about rubber prices in the medium term. It is recommended to adopt a neutral approach, short - term operations, and pay attention to the band operation opportunities of going long on RU2601 and shorting on RU2509 [11]. - For PVC, under the expectation of strong supply and weak demand, the main logic of the market is inventory reduction and weakening, and it is expected to continue to fluctuate downward [13]. - For PX, after the end of the maintenance season, the load remains high. In the third quarter, it is expected to continue to reduce inventory. After the geopolitical situation eases, pay attention to the opportunity of going long on dips following crude oil [21]. - For PTA, the end of the supply - side maintenance season slows down inventory reduction, and the demand side is under pressure. After the geopolitical situation eases, pay attention to the opportunity of going long on dips following PX [22]. - For ethylene glycol, the inventory reduction of ports is expected to slow down. The valuation is relatively high year - on - year, and the fundamentals are weak. Pay attention to the opportunity of short - side allocation, but beware of the risk of ethane imports [23]. 3.
