Group 1: Polyester Industry Report Industry Investment Rating Not provided Core View The report analyzes the price, cash - flow, and supply - demand situation of various products in the polyester industry. Different products have different trends and outlooks. For example, PX's supply is expected to increase marginally in August, and its supply - demand is expected to weaken; PTA's short - term supply - demand may improve, but it is expected to be weak in the medium - term; ethylene glycol's short - term supply - demand is expected to improve; short - fiber's supply and demand have a small increase, and its price follows raw materials; bottle - chip's inventory is slowly decreasing, and its processing fee has support [2]. Summary by Directory - Product Prices and Cash - flows: On August 8th, prices of some products like DTY150/48 decreased by 0.3%, while others like POY150/48 remained unchanged. Cash - flows of some products also changed, such as POY150/48's cash - flow decreased by 28.6% [2]. - Supply - Demand Analysis: PX supply increases in August, and with low terminal demand, its supply - demand weakens. PTA has new device production, but low processing fees lead to more unexpected device overhauls. Ethylene glycol has supply changes both at home and abroad, and demand is expected to increase as the off - season ends. Short - fiber's supply and demand slightly increase, and bottle - chip's inventory decreases due to production cuts [2]. Group 2: PVC and Caustic Soda Industry Report Industry Investment Rating Not provided Core View The report presents the price, supply - demand, and inventory situation of PVC and caustic soda. Caustic soda's supply is expected to increase, but there may be support from supply reduction due to enterprise overhauls. PVC's supply pressure is large with new capacity release, and downstream demand has no obvious improvement [7][12]. Summary by Directory - Price Changes: On August 8th, the price of Shandong 32% liquid caustic soda remained unchanged at 2500 yuan/ton, and the price of East China calcium - carbide - based PVC decreased by 0.4% to 4890 yuan/ton [7]. - Supply - Demand and Inventory: Caustic soda's downstream alumina price is stable, and supply is expected to increase. PVC's new capacity is released continuously, and downstream product enterprise's operating rates are low. Inventory of liquid caustic soda and PVC has different changes, such as liquid caustic soda's East China factory - warehouse inventory increased by 2.0% [7][12]. Group 3: Crude Oil Industry Report Industry Investment Rating Not provided Core View Crude oil prices are running weakly recently. The trading logic is mainly about geopolitical risks and supply - demand relaxation pressure. Geopolitical factors may affect supply, and macro - level factors and basic - level supply - demand also impact the market. The market is bearish, but the price stabilizes after a decline. Short - term observation is recommended [15]. Summary by Directory - Price and Spread Changes: On August 11th, Brent decreased by 0.57% to 66.21 dollars/barrel, and WTI decreased by 0.67% to 63.45 dollars/barrel. Some spreads also changed, such as Brent M1 - M3 decreased by 12.73% [15]. - Market Analysis: Geopolitical factors like the US - Russia cease - fire negotiation may increase supply expectations. Macro - level new tariffs and sanctions threats affect demand. OPEC +'s production increase and the end of the peak oil - using season strengthen the bearish sentiment [15]. Group 4: Polyolefin Industry Report Industry Investment Rating Not provided Core View In August, the supply of PP and PE increases due to less maintenance and new device production. Demand is at a low level currently, but there is potential for replenishment as the seasonal peak approaches. The overall valuation is moderately high, and the fundamental contradiction is not significant [20]. Summary by Directory - Price and Spread Changes: On August 8th, prices of futures contracts like L2601 decreased by 0.27%. Some spreads also changed, such as L2509 - 2601 decreased by 19.40% [20]. - Supply - Demand and Inventory: Supply pressure of PP and PE increases in August. Downstream operating rates are low, and inventory of enterprises and society has different degrees of increase [20]. Group 5: Methanol Industry Report Industry Investment Rating Not provided Core View The inventory of methanol accumulates significantly at ports this week. Domestic production is at a high level, and imports in August are still high. Downstream demand is weak due to low profits. 09 contract has a strong inventory - accumulation expectation, while 01 contract has expectations of seasonal peak and Iranian device shutdown [23]. Summary by Directory - Price and Spread Changes: On August 8th, MA2601's closing price decreased by 0.88% to 2475 yuan/ton. Some spreads like MA91 spread increased by 15.60% [23]. - Inventory and Operating Rates: Methanol enterprise inventory decreased by 9.50%, and port inventory increased by 14.48%. Operating rates of some upstream and downstream enterprises changed, such as Shanghai - domestic enterprise's operating rate increased by 2.28% [23]. Group 6: Pure Benzene - Styrene Industry Report Industry Investment Rating Not provided Core View In the third quarter, the supply - demand of pure benzene is expected to improve, and port inventory may decrease. Short - term price has support, but the rebound space is limited. Styrene's supply is high in the short - term, and its supply - demand pattern is weak, but the downward space is limited [27]. Summary by Directory - Price and Spread Changes: On August 8th, the price of pure benzene's East - China spot decreased by 0.4% to 6125 yuan/ton, and styrene's East - China spot decreased by 1.1% to 7270 yuan/ton. Some spreads also changed, such as pure benzene - naphtha decreased by 1.1% [27]. - Inventory and Operating Rates: Pure benzene's Jiangsu port inventory decreased by 4.1% to 16.30 million tons, and styrene's Jiangsu port inventory decreased by 3.0% to 15.90 million tons. Operating rates of some industries in the chain changed, such as the Asian pure benzene operating rate decreased by 1.3% [27]. Group 7: Urea Industry Report Industry Investment Rating Not provided Core View The current oscillation of urea is due to the game between the positive factors of the Indian tender's unexpected price and export quota release and the agricultural demand gap. In the short - term, the bullish narrative dominates the market [54]. Summary by Directory - Price and Spread Changes: On August 8th, the 05 - contract price of urea decreased by 0.50% to 1784 yuan/ton, and the 09 - contract price decreased by 0.52% to 1728 yuan/ton. Some spreads and basis also changed [52]. - Supply - Demand Analysis: Although some enterprises like Hualu Hengsheng are under maintenance, the daily output of urea is still at a high level. The demand impulse from the Indian tender and export policy cannot be falsified in the short - term [54].
