Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - EB2512 oscillated strongly and closed at 6,306 yuan/ton. The restart of new - capacity devices led to an increase in styrene production and capacity utilization. The downstream EPS and ABS operating rates decreased, while PS, UPR, and styrene - butadiene rubber operating rates increased, with significant consumption reduction in EPS, PS, and ABS. Factory and port inventories declined, and the high - level visible inventory decreased. The upstream raw material prices were weak, but the decline in styrene spot prices was higher than the cost, deepening the losses of non - integrated processes and keeping integrated processes in a slight loss state. This week, the domestic styrene supply may decrease slightly, and the downstream demand will provide some support. The spot market is expected to remain in a tight - balance state, slowly consuming high - inventory pressure, but it is difficult to form a driving force for price increases. In the short term, EB2512 is expected to oscillate weakly, and attention should be paid to the support around 6,160 [2].
