Group 1: Report Industry Investment Ratings - No relevant content provided Group 2: Core Views of the Report - For styrene, the fundamental situation is characterized by high profits, high production, and high inventory. There will be pressure from the concentrated commissioning of new plants in September - October. The short - term is bullish with the market, and in the medium - term, look for short - selling opportunities after the sentiment fades [1]. - PTA's fundamentals have recently improved. Supply pressure has decreased and downstream demand has increased, resulting in a shift from inventory accumulation to inventory reduction. However, due to the medium - term oversupply expectation of crude oil and short - term sentiment disturbances, it is recommended to focus on short - term long - position band operations [2]. - Caustic soda has shown a strong performance. It is affected by anti - involution sentiment and potential production reduction due to the 9.3 military parade. Although its fundamentals have strengthened, the high supply still exerts pressure, and the upside space may be limited. It is not recommended to chase long positions, but rather consider short - term long opportunities based on 15 - minute fluctuations [4]. Group 3: Summary by Relevant Catalogs 1.
