Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The short - term core of crude oil is geopolitics. For crude oil, the geopolitical logic is pessimistic about the ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, and there is an upward - revision risk if the negotiation fails again. The risk in the Caribbean region is expected to escalate, with a potential pulse - like upward movement. In the chemical industry, aromatics and methanol are the core varieties for long positions. Aromatics are mainly in an expected - based market, and methanol has upward - correction space due to unexpected Iranian over - maintenance [1]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Crude Oil - Logic: Supply - demand and macro drivers are still weak, but short - term US high - frequency data is strong, and the inventory is low, so the oversupply trading is difficult to restart before significant inventory accumulation. There is a 80 - basis - point spread between the US real interest rate and the natural interest rate, and three 25 - basis - point interest rate cuts are highly likely. Geopolitical disturbances are increasing and may be the main driver in December. Short - term view is bullish, and mid - term, there are high - selling opportunities after a pulse - like upward movement [2][3]. - Technical Analysis: The daily - level shows a mid - term downward structure, and the hourly - level shows a short - term upward structure, but it should be seen as a wide - range oscillation. Today, it increased in price with increased positions, and the short - term support is at the 450 level. The short - term technical view is bullish, but it is recommended to wait and see in the hourly cycle [3]. Styrene - Logic: There is an unexpected inventory increase during the seasonal de - stocking period, and the inventory - swelling expectation still exists. Domestic refineries have strong maintenance expectations in the far - month, and South Korean device profits are low. The import in January is expected to be large. There are short - term fundamental contradictions but not significantly manifested, and there are large mid - term differences. It is necessary to pay attention to whether the oil - blending logic can continue and the import situation in the next two months. Be cautious about the potential pulse - like upward disturbance of crude oil due to geopolitical escalation [6]. - Technical Analysis: The hourly - level is in a short - term oscillation. Today, it increased in price with decreased positions, and the hourly - level structure is unclear, but there is an upward structure at the 15 - minute level. It is recommended to wait and see at the hourly - level and hold long positions at the 15 - minute level, with a take - profit reference at the 6510 level [6]. Rubber - Logic: There are no short - term contradictions. Tire demand is difficult to increase significantly, and it is hard to see a large - scale trend in the demand side. The supply side is in the peak tapping season in Southeast Asia, and the inventory in Qingdao is seasonally increasing, but the inventory - increasing rate is normal. The fundamental situation shows no upward or downward drivers, and it should be treated with an oscillation view [9]. - Technical Analysis: The daily - level shows a mid - term downward structure, and the hourly - level shows a short - term oscillation structure. Today, it decreased in price with decreased positions, and the hourly - level structure is unclear. It is recommended to wait and see in the hourly cycle [9]. Synthetic Rubber - Logic: Synthetic rubber is mainly driven by butadiene. The butadiene inventory has reached a 5 - year high in the past two weeks, and the price pressure of butadiene is large under the inventory - swelling expectation, so synthetic rubber has a downward - driving force around the cost side. Be cautious about the potential pulse - like upward disturbance of crude oil due to geopolitical escalation. Although the fundamental driver is downward, the valuation is low, so it is recommended to wait and see with an oscillation view [13]. - Technical Analysis: The daily - level shows a mid - term downward structure, and the hourly - level short - term oscillation structure is being tested. Today, it decreased in price with decreased positions, and the short - term downward structure has evolved into an oscillation. It is recommended to wait and see in the hourly cycle [13]. PX - Logic: The supply - demand of PX is neutral - bullish, but the current fundamental situation cannot support the upward drive. The main trading logic is the expected - based market. The US aromatics oil - blending logic has led to valuation repair since November. After the weakening of the oil - blending expectation last week, the cost - side crude oil and the relatively strong chemical fundamentals are likely to attract more chemical long - position funds. The market should maintain a bullish view [17]. - Technical Analysis: The hourly - level shows a short - term upward structure. Today, it increased in price with decreased positions, and the upward structure remains unchanged. The hourly - level standard support is at the 6700 level. It is recommended to hold long positions at the hourly - level, with a stop - loss reference at the 6700 level [17]. PTA - Logic: The polyester itself has little pressure, but the current fundamental situation cannot support the upward drive. The main trading logic is the expected - based market. The US aromatics oil - blending logic has led to valuation repair since November. After the weakening of the oil - blending expectation last week, the cost - side crude oil and the relatively strong chemical fundamentals are likely to attract more chemical long - position funds. The market should maintain a bullish view [20]. - Technical Analysis: The hourly - level shows a short - term upward structure. Today, it increased in price with increased positions, and the upward structure remains unchanged. The hourly - level support is at the 4620 level. It is recommended to hold long positions at the hourly - level, with a stop - loss reference at the 4620 level [20]. PP - Logic: PP still faces the pressure of olefin production capacity to be put into operation, with high - supply pressure continuing and weak downstream demand. The supply - demand drive is bearish, and attention should be paid to the cost - side crude oil drive [24]. - Technical Analysis: The hourly - level short - term downward structure may end. Today, it increased in price with decreased positions and broke through the short - term pressure at the 6400 level. The short - term downward trend may end. It is recommended to wait and see in the hourly cycle [24]. Methanol - Logic: Iranian maintenance is more than expected, and many methanol plants have shut down since last week. With the official start of winter gas restrictions and the accelerating cold in December, a full shutdown is highly likely. After the market over - traded the expectation of insufficient gas restrictions, the market has upward - correction space. High shipments and high inventories have been priced in, the port de - stocking rate is accelerating, the market may anticipate the low - shipment point after the full shutdown, and the withdrawal of crowded short positions on the previous market brings a large upward space [26]. - Technical Analysis: The daily - level shows a mid - term downward and short - term upward structure. Today, it increased in price with decreased positions, and the upward structure continues. The short - term support is at the 2100 level. It is recommended to hold long positions in the hourly cycle, with a take - profit reference at the 2100 level [27][29]. PVC - Logic: High supply and high inventory continue. With the collapse of domestic real - estate demand, there is no hope for demand improvement. The social inventory at a high level continues to increase, and there is no upward drive [31]. - Technical Analysis: The daily - level shows a mid - term downward structure, and the hourly - level short - term downward structure is being tested. Today, it oscillated within the day, and the short - term structure is facing a trend reversal. It is recommended to wait and see in the hourly cycle [31]. Ethylene Glycol - Logic: Many overseas Iranian MEG plants are under maintenance, but the domestic supply remains high with the resumption of maintenance and the addition of new production capacity. Inventory accumulation continues, and attention should be paid to the short - term geopolitical risk disturbance of crude oil [35]. - Technical Analysis: The daily - level shows a mid - term downward structure, and the hourly - level shows a downward structure. Today, it oscillated within the day, and the short - term pressure is at the 3920 level. It is recommended to wait and see in the single - side hourly cycle [35]. Plastic - Logic: The downstream demand recovers slowly, and the supply pressure from the upstream olefin production capacity put - into operation remains. The supply - demand situation is still weak and has not improved. Attention should be paid to the short - term geopolitical risk disturbance of crude oil [36]. - Technical Analysis: The daily - level shows a mid - term downward structure, and the hourly - level shows a downward structure. Today, it oscillated within the day, and the short - term pressure is at the 6825 level. It is recommended to wait and see in the hourly cycle [36]. Soda Ash - Logic: The high - supply and high - inventory pattern of soda ash continues, and the downstream glass production lines are reducing production, which suppresses the demand for soda ash. Although the fundamental downward drive remains, the cost - performance of holding short positions unilaterally is reduced [38]. - Technical Analysis: The hourly - level shows a downward structure. Today, it oscillated within the day, and the downward structure remains unchanged. The short - term pressure is at the 1195 level. It is recommended to hold the remaining short positions in the hourly cycle cautiously with a take - profit at the 1195 level [38]. Caustic Soda - Logic: With the new production capacity put into operation and the end of most plant maintenance, the high - supply pressure continues. The alumina industry's losses are expanding, and its production is decreasing, so the demand for caustic soda remains weak. There is no upward drive in the supply - demand situation [42]. - Technical Analysis: The hourly - level shows a downward structure. Today, it oscillated within the day, and the downward structure remains unchanged. The short - term pressure is at the 2260 level. It is recommended to wait and see in the hourly cycle [42].
