1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information about the industry investment rating is provided in the report. 2. Core Views of the Report - The negotiation between the US and Iran on February 6 will have a directional impact on short - term oil prices. Geopolitical factors such as the situations in Iran and Russia and OPEC+ production expectations in the second quarter are the core concerns of the crude oil market in February. The chemical market is divided under high oil price volatility. [2][3] - For different chemical products, the report provides specific views and outlooks, generally suggesting a volatile trend for the chemical industry, with the movement of the US - Iran relationship disturbing oil prices. [3] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Market News and Main Logic of Each Variety Crude Oil - Market News: The US - Russia - Ukraine tripartite talks ended with a prisoner - exchange agreement. The Iranian delegation arrived in Oman for nuclear - issue negotiations with the US. [6] - Main Logic: High oil price volatility continues before the US - Iran negotiation. Overseas diesel crack spreads are weak, and refinery margins are under pressure. Russia is increasing discounts on crude oil exports to China, and there are concerns about reduced purchases from India. Geopolitical premiums still exist, and short - term focus is on the US - Iran negotiation and India's oil purchases from Russia. [2][6] - Outlook: Volatile. The fundamentals are in a supply - surplus state, but geopolitical situations may cause potential disruptions to supply expectations. [6] Asphalt - Market News: On February 5, 2026, the asphalt futures price was 3339 yuan/ton, and the spot prices in East China, Northeast China, and Shandong were 3270 yuan/ton, 3600 yuan/ton, and 3250 yuan/ton respectively. [6] - Main Logic: The geopolitical premium has partially declined. The partial lifting of US sanctions on Venezuela will increase asphalt raw material supply in the long - term. High profits may drive refineries to switch to alternative raw materials. The supply - demand of asphalt is weak, and inventory is accumulating. The current asphalt price is over - valued compared to other products. [6] - Outlook: Volatile. The absolute price of asphalt is over - valued, and the long - term valuation is expected to decline. [6] High - Sulfur Fuel Oil - Market News: On February 5, 2026, the high - sulfur fuel oil futures price was 2824 yuan/ton. [6] - Main Logic: The US is helping Venezuela increase oil production, which may put long - term pressure on high - sulfur fuel oil. The tense situation in Iran affects fuel oil exports and may increase fuel oil power generation in Iraq. The substitution of natural gas and photovoltaic for fuel oil in the Middle East is a long - term negative factor. The asphalt - fuel oil spread is oscillating at a high level. [6] - Outlook: Volatile. The expected increase in Venezuelan oil production will put long - term pressure on high - sulfur fuel oil, and short - term focus is on the geopolitical situation in the Middle East. [6] Low - Sulfur Fuel Oil - Market News: On February 5, 2026, the low - sulfur fuel oil futures price was 3285 yuan/ton. [8] - Main Logic: Low - sulfur fuel oil fluctuates with crude oil. Natural gas price fluctuations affect it through the crack spread of gasoline and diesel and the expectation of low - sulfur fuel oil power generation. It has strong product attributes but faces negative factors such as the decline in shipping demand, green energy substitution, and high - sulfur substitution. However, its current valuation is low. [8] - Outlook: Volatile. It is affected by green fuel substitution and high - sulfur substitution, but its low valuation makes it follow the movement of crude oil. [8] PX - Market News: On February 5, the PX CFR China Taiwan price was 902(+5) dollars/ton, and the PX Korea FOB price was 880(+5) dollars/ton. The PX main contract closed at 7200(-96) yuan/ton. [9] - Main Logic: Although the cost side has some support, the current supply - demand pattern is seasonally weak. Supply remains high, polyester and terminal demand are declining, inventory is accumulating, and the profit is continuously declining. [9] - Outlook: Volatile in the short - term. The PX price is expected to fluctuate, and the PXN is expected to be in the range of [300, 330] dollars/ton. [9] PTA - Market News: On February 5, the PTA spot price was 5140(+60) yuan/ton, and the main contract closed at 5144(-74) yuan/ton. The polyester filament and polyester chip production - sales rates were low. [9] - Main Logic: The cost side has some support, but the supply has increased slightly, and the polyester enterprises' maintenance scope has expanded during the Spring Festival. The inventory accumulation is greater than expected, and the terminal demand is insufficient. [9] - Outlook: Volatile in the short - term. The PTA price is expected to be in a low - level consolidation, and attention should be paid to the TA05 - 09 spread and the support at 5100 yuan/ton for the TA05 contract. [9] Pure Benzene - Market News: On February 6, the pure benzene 2603 contract closed at 6127, a change of - 1.34%. The spot prices in different regions and the prices of related products have changed. [9] - Main Logic: International oil prices have fallen significantly. There is some restocking demand before the Spring Festival, and the supply - demand of styrene is tight. Pure benzene is a low - valued variety and is a choice for capital allocation. Although the current inventory is high, the de - stocking expectation in Q1 exists. [9][10] - Outlook: Volatile and slightly upward. The high inventory needs time to be digested, but the fundamentals are improving, and the de - stocking expectation in the far - month exists. [10] Styrene - Market News: On February 6, the East China styrene spot price was 7829(-106) yuan/ton, and the main contract basis was 140(-18) yuan/ton. [11] - Main Logic: The styrene price is volatile and slightly upward. The crude oil price is stable, but the supply - demand is expected to weaken. However, the profit compression caused by seasonal inventory accumulation may be limited due to export support and overseas disturbances. [11] - Outlook: Volatile and slightly upward. The seasonal inventory accumulation in February is expected to be lower, and the de - stocking trend will resume in March. [12] Ethylene Glycol - Market News: On February 5, the ethylene glycol market was weak. The spot price in Zhangjiagang was around 3630 yuan/ton, and the main contract closed at 3745 yuan/ton. The inventory in the East China main port increased. [13] - Main Logic: The cost side is stable, but the supply has increased in the short - term, and the demand has decreased, resulting in a weak market. [14] - Outlook: Volatile in the short - term. The price is expected to be in the range of [3700 - 4050] yuan/ton for the EG05 contract. [16] Short - Fiber - Market News: On February 5, the Zhejiang market polyester short - fiber price fell to 6570 yuan/ton. The PF2603 contract closed at 6564 yuan/ton, and the production - sales rate was 60.43%. The inventory decreased slightly. [18] - Main Logic: The short - fiber market is in a weak consolidation. The upstream raw material price fluctuations cause pricing contradictions, and the downstream demand is weak, resulting in low market trading activity. [18] - Outlook: The short - fiber price follows the upstream, and the processing fee has stronger support at the bottom. [18] Bottle Chip - Market News: On February 5, the East China market polyester bottle - chip price was 6250 yuan/ton. The main contract closed at 6114 yuan/ton, and the processing spread was 609.6 yuan/ton.

The Iranian ZPC 165 - million - ton/year capacity device was restarted at a low load. [22] - Main Logic: The methanol price was volatile and slightly downward on February 5. The inland market trading improved, and the inventory decreased. However, the coastal market has high inventory and low downstream MTO device operation. Although the Iran situation is improving, there is still uncertainty. [22] - Outlook: Volatile. The methanol price follows the fundamentals and may be slightly downward, but the low price may prompt the restart of some MTO devices. [22] Urea - Market News: On February 5, 2026, the urea price in the Shandong market was 1780 - 1790 yuan/ton, and the main contract closed at 1779 yuan/ton. [23] - Main Logic: The supply of urea is sufficient as the gas - restricted devices are gradually restarted. The agricultural demand is for pre - festival fertilizer preparation, and the industrial demand is decreasing. The inventory has decreased, and the pre - received orders support the price. [23] - Outlook: Volatile. The urea price is expected to be slightly adjusted before the Spring Festival, and attention should be paid to downstream purchasing, order digestion, and storage release plans. [23] LLDPE - Market News: On February 5, the LLDPE spot price was 6750(-20) yuan/ton, and the main contract basis was - 27(+121) yuan/ton. The PE开工 rate was 87.03%(-0.27%). [25] - Main Logic: The plastic price was volatile and downward on February 5. Oil prices are volatile, affected by geopolitical factors.

[26] - Outlook: Volatile in the short - term. [26] PL - Market News: On February 5, the PL price in Shandong was 6410 yuan/ton, and the main contract basis was 205(+148) yuan/ton. [27] - Main Logic: The PL price was volatile on February 5. The PDH maintenance has a positive impact. The supply increase is limited, the inventory is controllable, and the downstream demand has increased slightly. [27] - Outlook: Volatile in the short - term. [27] PVC - Market News: On February 5, the East China PVC price was 4910(-40) yuan/ton, and the main contract basis was - 142(+63) yuan/ton. [28] - Main Logic: Geopolitical factors have less impact, and the "export rush" may weaken the demand support. The PVC production has decreased slightly, the downstream demand is weak, the export orders have decreased, and the cost has increased. [28] - Outlook: Volatile. The market sentiment is weak, but there are still policy expectations and cost disturbances. [28] Caustic Soda - Market News: On February 5, the Shandong 32% caustic soda price was 1841(-3) yuan/ton, and the main contract basis was - 76(+58) yuan/ton. The liquid chlorine price increased by 50 yuan/ton. [29][30] - Main Logic: Geopolitical factors have less impact, and the "dual - carbon" policy may accelerate the elimination of backward caustic soda production capacity. The caustic soda inventory is decreasing before the Spring Festival. The alumina production reduction may be slow, the demand from non - aluminum industries is weak, and the liquid chlorine price is volatile, affecting the cost. [28][29] - Outlook: Volatile. The increase in the liquid chlorine price opens the downward space for caustic soda, but considering the possible downward adjustment of the liquid chlorine price before the Spring Festival, the caustic soda price is expected to be volatile.
