Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No investment rating information is provided in the report. 2. Core Views - Methanol: The current situation remains poor. Iranian plant shutdowns are slower than expected, and imports are likely to remain high in November. The contradiction in the 01 contract is difficult to resolve. Port sanctions are expected to be resolved before the end of gas restrictions, but inventory reduction is difficult. Methanol has limited upside potential, and the downside space depends on the situation in the inland market. Although coal prices have strengthened recently, it does not affect methanol's profit [1]. - Polyethylene: The inventory of the two major state - owned oil companies is at a neutral level compared to the same period. Upstream and coal - chemical industries are reducing inventory, while social inventory remains unchanged. Downstream raw material and finished - product inventories are also neutral. Overall inventory is neutral. The 09 contract basis is around - 110 in North China and - 50 in East China. Import profit is around - 200 with no further increase for now. The price of non - standard HD injection molding is stable, while other price differentials fluctuate. LD is weakening. Domestic linear production has decreased recently. Attention should be paid to the LL - HD conversion and US quotes. New device pressure is high in 2025 [5]. - PP: The upstream and mid - stream inventories of polypropylene are decreasing. In terms of valuation, the basis is - 60, non - standard price differentials are neutral, and the import profit is around - 700. Exports have been good this year. Non - standard price differentials are neutral. PDH profit is around - 400, propylene price is oscillating, and powder production starts are stable. The supply is expected to increase slightly in the future. Downstream orders are average, and raw material and finished - product inventories are neutral. Under the background of over - capacity, the 01 contract is expected to face moderate to excessive pressure. If exports continue to increase or PDH device maintenance is frequent, the supply pressure can be eased [5]. - PVC: The basis of the 01 contract remains at - 270, and the factory - pickup basis is - 480. Downstream开工率 is seasonally weakening, but the willingness to hold goods at low prices is strong. Mid - and upstream inventories are continuously accumulating. In summer, Northwest plants have seasonal maintenance, and the load center is between the spring maintenance and Q1 high - production levels. In Q4, attention should be paid to the implementation of new production capacity and export sustainability. Recent export orders have slightly declined. Coal sentiment is positive, and the cost of semi - coke is stable. The profit of calcium carbide is under pressure due to PVC maintenance. The FOB price of caustic soda exports is 380. PVC's comprehensive profit is - 100. Static inventory contradictions are accumulating slowly, costs are stable, downstream performance is average, and the macro - environment is neutral [5]. 3.
