Report Summary 1. Investment Rating No investment rating for the industry is provided in the report. 2. Core Views - Crude Oil: With the current oil price having risen and priced in a high geopolitical premium, considering the expected over - performance of Venezuela's production increase and OPEC's subsequent production recovery, it is advisable to take profits on rallies and focus on medium - term layout [2]. - Methanol: Methanol has priced in a significant number of negative factors. Given the short - term volatility probability of overseas geopolitics, it is recommended to stop losses on short positions and adopt a short - term wait - and - see approach [5]. - Urea: The current situation of internal - external price differentials has opened the import window. Coupled with the expected production recovery at the end of January, the fundamental outlook for urea is bearish, so it is advisable to short on rallies [7]. - Rubber: Near the Spring Festival, it is recommended to reduce risk, trade short - term based on the market, set stop - losses, and enter and exit quickly. During the Spring Festival, it is recommended to hold a hedging position of buying NR main contract and shorting RU2609 [12]. - PVC: The domestic supply - demand situation is characterized by strong supply and weak demand. Although there are short - term supports such as electricity price expectations, capacity clearance expectations, and export rush sentiment, the fundamental situation is poor. Attention should be paid to subsequent changes in capacity and production [15]. - Pure Benzene & Styrene: The non - integrated profit of styrene is moderately high, and the upward valuation repair space is narrowing. As the non - integrated profit of styrene has been significantly repaired, it is advisable to gradually take profits [18]. - Polyethylene: The OPEC + plan to suspend production growth in Q1 2026 may lead to a bottoming of the crude oil price. The downward valuation space of PE still exists. With the seasonal off - season, the overall operating rate of the demand side is declining [21]. - Polypropylene: In the context of weak supply and demand, the overall inventory pressure is high. There is no prominent short - term contradiction. The long - term contradiction has shifted from cost - driven decline to production mismatch. It is advisable to go long on the PP5 - 9 spread on dips [24]. - PX: Currently, PX production remains at a high level, and downstream PTA has many maintenance activities. Before the maintenance season, PX is expected to maintain an inventory accumulation pattern. After the Spring Festival, the supply - demand structure of both PX and downstream PTA is strong, and there are medium - term opportunities to go long following the crude oil price [27]. - PTA: Supply is under high - level maintenance in the short term, and demand is declining due to the off - season. PTA is entering the Spring Festival inventory accumulation stage. There is still room for valuation increase after the Spring Festival, and attention should be paid to medium - term opportunities to go long [30]. - Ethylene Glycol: The overall operating rate is still relatively high. Although imports are expected to decline slightly in February, due to the downstream off - season, the port inventory accumulation pressure is large. There is an expectation of further profit compression and production reduction in the medium term. However, there is also a risk of rebound due to factors such as the tense situation in Iran and coal price rebound [32]. 3.
