Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided 2. Core Viewpoints - EB2509 fell 0.84% to close at 7,238 yuan/ton. On the supply side, a new Shandong plant increased output this week, and some plants adjusted their loads. Styrene production increased 2.76% to 369,100 tons, and capacity utilization rose 0.45% to 78.18%. On the demand side, the operating rates of styrene downstream industries varied last week, and the consumption of EPS, PS, and ABS decreased 3.17% to 238,100 tons. In terms of inventory, styrene factory inventory decreased 1.29% to 208,700 tons, East China port inventory decreased 6.42% to 148,800 tons, and South China port inventory increased 16.13% to 18,000 tons. New capacity additions intensify industry competition. Integrated plant profitability is average, and non - integrated plant losses are expected to deepen. Recently, EPS plants on centralized maintenance are about to restart, and some PS and ABS plants plan to increase production, so short - term demand is expected to rise. However, poor downstream demand and expected finished - product inventory accumulation may restrain styrene demand growth [2]. - Styrene spot supply is ample, and total inventory is at a high level compared to the same period. With the decline in crude oil costs, styrene prices are under pressure. Technically, EB2509 should focus on the support around 7,200 [3]. 3.
