Report Industry Investment Rating - The report maintains a bearish outlook on the energy and chemical sector, suggesting that investors hold existing short positions [1]. Core Viewpoints - The overall market in the energy and chemical sector is dominated by bears, with most varieties showing downward trends driven by both macro - factors and fundamental supply - demand imbalances. While some short - term technical repairs may occur, the downward pressure remains significant [1][2]. Summary by Variety Crude Oil - Logic: The sharp drop on Friday night was due to Trump's new tariff threat, with short - term trading driven by macro factors. Fundamentally, there is pressure from increased supply and decreased demand due to OPEC+ production increases and the fourth - quarter demand slump. Even if there is a technical repair, the amplitude may be limited [2]. - Technical Analysis: The daily - level shows a medium - term downward structure, and the hourly - level shows a short - term downward structure. The trading volume increased today, and the price continued to fall. The short - term resistance is at 465 - 473. The strategy is to hold short positions [2]. Styrene (EB) - Logic: Similar to crude oil, it is pressured by macro factors, but less affected. Despite some plant maintenance plans in late October, new plant launches will keep the high - supply situation. High inventory and low downstream demand also contribute to the downward - facing fundamentals [5]. - Technical Analysis: The hourly - level shows a short - term downward structure. Today, the price reached a new low with increased positions. The short - term resistance is at 6860. The strategy is to hold the remaining short positions and pay attention to contract roll - over [5]. Rubber - Logic: Macro factors accelerate the decline but are not the main driver. After the typhoon, the downstream tire industry's seasonal decline in demand is greater than expected, and supply is likely to increase, resulting in high inventory pressure [7]. - Technical Analysis: The daily - level shows a medium - term downward structure, and the hourly - level shows a downward structure. The price dropped to a new low today. The short - term resistance is at 15450. The strategy is to hold short positions with a stop - profit at 15450 [7]. Synthetic Rubber (BR) - Logic: In the short term, it is pressured by macro factors. The supply of butadiene, the raw material, is expected to increase, driving the price of synthetic rubber down. The short - term market is also affected by macro - downward drivers after Trump's tariff threat [11]. - Technical Analysis: The daily - level shows a medium - term downward structure, and the hourly - level shows a short - term downward structure. The price reached a new low with increased positions today. The short - term resistance is at 11300. The strategy is to hold short positions with a stop - profit at 11300 [13]. PX - Logic: The supply - demand situation continues to weaken slightly, mainly driven by the cost of crude oil [15]. - Technical Analysis: The hourly - level shows a short - term downward structure. The price reached a new low with increased positions today. The short - term resistance is at 6460 - 6480. The strategy is to hold short positions with a stop - profit at 6460 - 6480 [15]. PTA - Logic: The supply - demand situation continues to weaken slightly, mainly driven by the cost of crude oil [18]. - Technical Analysis: The hourly - level shows a short - term downward structure. The price reached a new low with increased positions today. The short - term resistance is at 4530. The strategy is to hold short positions with a stop - profit at 4530 [18]. PP - Logic: Short - term macro factors bring some pressure. The high - supply situation remains unchanged, and the expected improvement in supply - demand has not been realized. Attention should be paid to the cost - collapse logic due to the decline in crude oil prices [22]. - Technical Analysis: The hourly - level shows a short - term downward structure. The price reached a new low with increased positions today. The short - term resistance is at 6740. After taking profits before the holiday, there is no good entry point, so the strategy is to wait and see [22]. Methanol - Logic: Short - term macro factors have some pressure. There is still high inventory pressure at ports. Attention should be paid to the seasonal decline in the operation of Iranian methanol plants. It can be used as a long - pairing hedge after the macro - driving force weakens. Unilateral trading should focus on the time when Iranian plants reduce production [24]. - Technical Analysis: The daily - level shows a medium - term downward structure, and the short - term shows a downward structure. The price reached a new low with increased positions today. The short - term resistance is at 2350. The strategy is to hold the remaining short positions cautiously with a stop - profit at 2350. It can be used as a long - pairing after the price breaks through the resistance [24]. PVC - Logic: The short - term macro impact is negative but not significant. The supply - demand situation remains weak, with high supply, low demand, and high inventory. The domestic demand and exports are under pressure [27]. - Technical Analysis: The daily - level shows a medium - term downward structure, and the hourly - level shows a short - term downward structure. The price reached a new low with increased positions today. The short - term resistance is at 4800. The strategy is to hold short positions [27]. Ethylene Glycol (EG) - Logic: Affected by short - term macro factors, the supply - demand situation has not improved. The supply pressure is increasing with capacity expansion, and the port inventory is starting to accumulate. The previous low - inventory support is gone [29]. - Technical Analysis: The daily - level shows a medium - term downward structure, and the hourly - level shows a downward structure. The price reached a new low with increased positions today. The short - term resistance is at 4135. The strategy is to hold short positions [29]. Plastic - Logic: The supply - demand change is limited. Attention should be paid to the cost - collapse logic due to the decline in crude oil prices [31]. - Technical Analysis: The daily - level shows a medium - term downward structure, and the hourly - level shows a downward structure. The price reached a new low with increased positions today. The short - term resistance is at 7090. The strategy is to hold the remaining short positions [31]. Soda Ash - Logic: The high - supply and high - inventory situation is intensifying. The demand from the glass industry is unlikely to improve significantly, and there is no substantial policy intervention on the supply side. With the return of the macro - downward driver, the downward pressure on the soda ash market continues [35]. - Technical Analysis: The hourly - level shows a downward structure. The price reached a new low with increased positions today. The short - term resistance is at 1260. The strategy is to hold the remaining short positions [35]. Caustic Soda - Logic: Some plants in East and North China are expected to undergo maintenance, and the downstream non - aluminum demand will resume after the holiday, which may relieve the inventory pressure. However, the current valuation is low, and short - selling is not recommended [37]. - Technical Analysis: The hourly - level shows a downward structure. The price reached a new low with increased positions today. The short - term resistance is at 2490. After taking profits before the holiday, there is no good entry point, so the strategy is to wait and see [37].
