Report Industry Investment Ratings - Polypropylene, plastics, benzene, styrene, PTA, short - fiber, methanol, urea, glass: ☆☆☆ (white star, short - term multi/empty trend in a relatively balanced state, poor market operability, mainly for observation) [1] - Ethylene, propylene: ★★★ (three - star, clearer multi/empty trend, and relatively appropriate investment opportunities currently) [1] - Ethylene glycol, PVC, soda ash: ★☆☆ (one - star, biased towards multi/empty, with a driving force for price increase/decrease, but poor operability on the market) [1] Core Viewpoints - The main futures contracts of olefins and polyolefins closed down on the day. The spot and futures markets showed different trends. Propylene production enterprises may still have the intention to support prices, while polyethylene and polypropylene face supply increases and weak demand [2]. - The main futures contracts of pure benzene and styrene closed down on the day. Pure benzene has the pressure of high imports and falling demand, and styrene has high - inventory pressure [3]. - The prices of PX and PTA fluctuated and closed up on the day. Ethylene glycol continued to increase positions and decline with supply pressure. Short - fiber may face inventory accumulation in the future, and bottle - chip demand is weakening [5]. - The methanol market is under pressure from high imports and high inventories, and downstream demand is weak. The urea market is in a state of oversupply, with prices oscillating within a range [6]. - PVC is running at a low level due to high supply and weak demand. Caustic soda is expected to run at a low level, and its price may rise if liquid chlorine prices continue to fall [7]. - Soda ash prices are under pressure due to high supply and weakening demand. Glass prices are oscillating strongly, with cost support and potential for inventory reduction [8]. Summary by Directory Olefins - Polyolefins - The main futures contracts of olefins closed down. Spot - market propylene production enterprises may support prices. The production of polyethylene and polypropylene is increasing, while demand is weak [2]. Pure Benzene - Styrene - The price of pure benzene oscillated below 5500 yuan/ton. It is under pressure from high imports and falling demand. Styrene is under high - inventory pressure [3]. Polyester - PX and PTA prices fluctuated and closed up. Ethylene glycol continued to decline with supply pressure. Short - fiber may face inventory accumulation, and bottle - chip demand is weakening [5]. Coal Chemical Industry - Methanol prices continued to fall due to high imports and high inventories and weak downstream demand. Urea prices oscillated strongly, with agricultural demand providing some support but overall in an oversupply situation [6]. Chlor - Alkali - PVC is running at a low level due to high supply and weak demand. Caustic soda is expected to run at a low level, and its price may rise if liquid chlorine prices continue to fall [7]. Soda Ash - Glass - Soda ash prices are under pressure due to high supply and weakening demand. Glass prices are oscillating strongly, with cost support and potential for inventory reduction [8]
