Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - For crude oil, supply changes are expected to be the dominant factor for prices, and demand lacks significant growth drivers. OPEC+ will maintain a 137,000 barrels per day production increase in November, which is lower than market expectations. Geopolitical risk premiums have eased, and long - term oil prices are expected to be under pressure, with Brent oil prices likely to oscillate between $60 - 75 per barrel [4]. - For PX & PTA, the PX device operating rate remains high, but downstream maintenance increases and the supply - demand balance weakens. PTA processing margins have dropped, and it is expected to follow cost fluctuations. [4] - For MEG, after the holiday, the operating rate and port inventory have increased, and the supply - demand pattern has shifted to inventory accumulation. The market is expected to be weak in the short term [5]. - For BZ & EB, the pure benzene operating rate has slightly declined but remains high. The demand for downstream products is expected to recover, but the market is affected by new device launches. Short - term prices are expected to follow the weak oscillation of crude oil. The supply of styrene is expected to increase, and with high inventories and poor terminal demand, it is expected to be in a weak oscillation [5].
