Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - EB2510 oscillated weakly and closed at 7,138 yuan/ton. On the supply side, last week's styrene production decreased by 5.98% month-on-month to 354,000 tons, and the capacity utilization rate decreased by 4.76% month-on-month to 74.98%. On the demand side, the downstream operating rates of styrene increased to varying degrees last week; the consumption of downstream EPS, PS, and ABS increased by 6.52% month-on-month to 277,900 tons. In terms of inventory, the styrene factory inventory increased by 2.52% month-on-month to 220,300 tons, the inventory at East China ports decreased by 9.92% month-on-month to 1.59 million tons, and the inventory at South China ports increased by 14.74% month-on-month to 218,000 tons. This week, the 320,000-ton plant of Xinpu Chemical was restarted, and the impact of the short-term shutdown of Zibo Junchen's 500,000-ton plant subsided, so there is an expectation of an increase in production and capacity utilization. There are still large-scale plant maintenance plans in the second half of this month, but the 800,000-ton plant of Guangdong Petrochemical is expected to restart in the second half of the month, and the supply side is expected to see limited reduction in the future. This week, the load of EPS, PS, and ABS plants is expected to be slightly adjusted with little change. Affected by the weak procurement in the household appliance industry, currently ABS is slightly in the red and the inventory has continuously risen to a historical high. Attention should be paid to the transmission of future negative factors to the upstream. The inventory pressure of styrene remains high. In terms of cost, recent international oil prices have strengthened supported by geopolitical conflicts. Macroscopically, the talks among China, the US, and Spain have progressed smoothly, and a new round of policies to stabilize growth in key domestic industries is about to be introduced. Technically, for EB2510, pay attention to the support around 7,100 and the resistance around 7,220 [2] Group 3: Summary by Relevant Catalogs Futures Market - The futures closing price (active contract) of styrene was 7,138 yuan/ton, a decrease of 20 yuan; the futures trading volume (active: trading volume) of styrene (EB) was 144,412 lots, a decrease of 20,911 lots; the closing price of the November contract of styrene was 7,152 yuan/ton, a decrease of 88,537 yuan; the long position volume of the top 20 holders of styrene was not provided; the futures holding volume (active: trading volume) of styrene (EB) was 157,069 lots, a decrease of 29,390 lots; the net long position volume of the top 20 holders of styrene was -32,813 lots, an increase of 4,980 lots; the short position volume of the top 20 holders of styrene was 389,295 lots, a decrease of 7,071 lots; the total warehouse receipt quantity of styrene was 1,783 lots, an increase of 343 lots [2] Spot Market - The spot price of styrene was 7,324 - 7,325 yuan/ton, an increase of 10 yuan; the FOB South Korea intermediate price of styrene was 879 - 7,085 US dollars/ton, an increase of 10 - 80 US dollars; the CFR China intermediate price of styrene was 889 US dollars/ton, an increase of 10 US dollars; the mainstream price of styrene in the Northeast region was 7,080 yuan/ton, unchanged; the mainstream price of styrene in the South China region decreased by 15 yuan (specific price not provided); the mainstream price of styrene in the North China region (specific price not provided); the mainstream price of styrene in the East China region was 7,195 yuan/ton, an increase of 80 yuan [2] Upstream Situation - The CFR Northeast Asia intermediate price of ethylene was 851 US dollars/ton, unchanged; the CFR Southeast Asia intermediate price of ethylene was 841 US dollars/ton, unchanged; the CIF Northwest Europe intermediate price of ethylene was 751.5 US dollars/ton, an increase of 4.5 US dollars; the FD US Gulf price of ethylene was 457 US dollars/ton, a decrease of 6 US dollars; the spot price of pure benzene in Taiwan's CIF was 723.17 US dollars/ton, unchanged; the spot price of pure benzene in the US Gulf's FOB was 257 cents/gallon, a decrease of 1 cent; the spot price of pure benzene in Rotterdam's FOB was 662 US dollars/ton, a decrease of 3 US dollars; the market price of pure benzene in the South China market was 5,900 yuan/ton, unchanged; the market price of pure benzene in the East China market was 5,990 yuan/ton, an increase of 60 yuan; the market price of pure benzene in the North China market was 6,050 yuan/ton, unchanged; the total operating rate of styrene was 74.98%, a decrease of 4.76%; the national inventory of styrene was 220,277 tons, an increase of 5,420 tons [2] Industry Situation - The total inventory of styrene at the main ports in East China was 159,000 tons, a decrease of 17,500 tons; the trade inventory of styrene at the main ports in East China was 78,000 tons, a decrease of 9,000 tons [2] Downstream Situation - The operating rate of EPS was 61.02%, an increase of 8.5%; the operating rate of ABS was 70%, an increase of 1%; the operating rate of PS was 61.9%, an increase of 0.9%; the operating rate of UPR was 34%, an increase of 1%; the operating rate of styrene-butadiene rubber was 69.57%, an increase of 1.92% [2] Industry News - From September 5th to 11th, the overall production of Chinese styrene plants was 354,000 tons, a decrease of 5.98% from the previous period; the plant capacity utilization rate was 74.98%, a decrease of 4.76% month-on-month.
