Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content 2. Core View of the Report - EB2512 fluctuated weakly, closing at 6,421 yuan/ton. The production and capacity utilization rate of styrene decreased month - on - month due to the impact of plant shutdowns. The downstream EPS and UPR operating rates increased slightly, while the operating rates of PS, ABS, and styrene - butadiene rubber decreased to varying degrees. The visible inventory decreased slowly at a high level. The non - integrated cost decreased slightly due to weak raw material prices, and the profit recovery was not significant. The market expects a slight increase in OPEC+ production in December, and combined with weak crude oil demand, international oil prices have been under pressure recently. In the short term, EB2512 is expected to weaken with oil prices, and attention should be paid to the support of the lower Bollinger Band around 6,264 [2] 3.
