1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The prices of various energy - chemical commodities are expected to be volatile. Crude oil, fuel oil, asphalt, polyester, rubber, methanol, polyolefins, and PVC are all forecasted to have an oscillatory trend in the short - term [1][2][4]. - Although OPEC+ has a more cautious production increase plan, its support for oil prices is limited, and oil prices are expected to fluctuate repeatedly in the short - term [1]. - For fuel oil, in December, the supply of both high - sulfur and low - sulfur fuel oil is expected to be sufficient, and the absolute prices of FU and LU are expected to remain weak [2]. - The supply of asphalt will further decrease in December, with winter storage demand gradually starting, but there is inventory pressure, and the price is expected to oscillate at a low level [2]. - For polyester, the downstream demand is weakening at the end of the year, and the cost of PX is under pressure, so the prices of TA and EG are expected to oscillate [4]. - The rubber market has a situation of weak supply and demand, and the price is expected to remain oscillatory. The price of butadiene rubber is expected to be strong in the short - term and return to normal in the medium - term [4][6]. - Methanol supply will decline slightly in December, and demand will increase. The port inventory is expected to enter the destocking stage, and the price is expected to be oscillatory and slightly strong [6]. - For polyolefins, supply will increase in December while demand will weaken. If the crude oil price remains stable, the price will tend to oscillate at the bottom [7]. - The supply of PVC will increase in December, and demand will weaken. However, due to factors such as the repair of the basis and the removal of export restrictions, the price is expected to oscillate at the bottom [8]. 3.
