Report Industry Investment Rating The report does not explicitly mention the industry investment rating. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Geopolitical tensions continue to support oil prices, and the chemical industry remains in a sideways consolidation. It is advisable to hold light positions during the holiday. - The pre - Spring Festival oscillation pattern in the chemical industry is difficult to change in the short term. Higher - inventory varieties face greater pressure, and inventory pressure may rise again during the Spring Festival. - Coal prices are stabilizing, and crude oil and chemical prices will continue to oscillate and consolidate. [2] Summary by Relevant Catalogs 1. Market Views Crude Oil - View: Geopolitical premiums fluctuate, and risks remain high around the holiday. - Main Logic: After the US cold wave, the recovery of crude oil production has led to renewed inventory pressure. The current fundamentals of the crude oil market are not optimistic, with high inventory levels and pressured refinery margins. The market is trading on the theme of "weak reality, strong expectation", with geopolitical factors influencing supply expectations. Uncertainties in the US - Iran situation and potential impacts on Russian crude exports still support oil prices. - Outlook: Oscillation. [7] Asphalt - View: Asphalt futures prices oscillate at high levels. - Main Logic: The US - Iran situation is complex, and the partial lifting of US sanctions on Venezuela will increase the long - term supply of asphalt raw materials. High profits may prompt refiners to switch to alternative raw materials. Current asphalt inventory is accumulating, and the market is in a situation of both weak supply and demand. The current asphalt price is over - valued compared to other products. - Outlook: Oscillation, with the long - term valuation expected to decline. [8] High - Sulfur Fuel Oil - View: Fuel oil futures prices operate at high levels. - Main Logic: The US - Iran situation is still under negotiation, and the increase in Venezuelan oil production is expected to put long - term pressure on high - sulfur fuel oil. Tensions in the Iran region have mixed effects on the short - term market. In the long run, the substitution of fuel oil power generation by natural gas and photovoltaic will be a negative factor. - Outlook: Oscillation. Pay attention to the geopolitical situation in the Middle East in the short term. [9] Low - Sulfur Fuel Oil - View: Low - sulfur fuel oil follows the oscillation of crude oil. - Main Logic: Low - sulfur fuel oil is affected by crude oil and natural gas prices. It faces negative factors such as a decline in shipping demand, green energy substitution, and high - sulfur substitution. However, its current valuation is low. The export tax - rebate policy for low - sulfur fuel oil and the pressure of "reducing oil and increasing chemicals" will lead to an increase in supply and a decline in demand. - Outlook: Oscillation, following the movement of crude oil. [10] PX - View: The cost side still provides support, and PTA plant maintenance has been implemented. - Main Logic: International oil prices oscillate and consolidate, and PX oscillates slightly stronger. Although PTA plant maintenance provides some support, weak demand limits the increase in PX prices. The holiday atmosphere in the downstream market is strong, and spot trading volume is gradually decreasing. - Outlook: In the short term, PX prices will oscillate under the guidance of sentiment. Pay attention to the support level of around 7100 yuan/ton for the PX05 contract, and PXN is expected to be in the range of [280, 300] US dollars/ton. [12] PTA - View: PTA plant maintenance has been implemented, alleviating the seasonal inventory accumulation pressure. - Main Logic: The upstream cost still provides short - term support, and the news of PTA plant maintenance boosts the futures price. However, polyester production has declined to a low level, and the spot market is quiet during the holiday. The PTA processing fee is expected to be significantly supported in the short term. - Outlook: PTA is expected to oscillate and consolidate in the short term. Pay attention to the strengthening support of the TA05 - 09 spread, and consider positive - spread positions. The support level of around 5100 yuan/ton for the TA05 contract is relatively strong. [13] Pure Benzene - View: The price oscillates, mainly affected by crude oil prices and capital sentiment. - Main Logic: The US - Iran situation is unclear, leading to repeated geopolitical premiums. The correction of non - ferrous metals and precious metals has dragged down the commodity market sentiment. In the medium term, the fundamentals of pure benzene may be in a transition period, with less inventory accumulation in Q1 compared to Q4, but there are significant differences in market expectations for Q2. In the short term, there is an expectation of inventory accumulation in East China ports, and some profit - taking may cause price fluctuations. - Outlook: Oscillation. Although the fundamentals in Q1 have improved compared to Q4, inventory pressure remains high. [15] Styrene - View: Overseas and domestic plant restarts have led to a marginal loosening of supply and demand. - Main Logic: The upward momentum of styrene has weakened. Crude oil prices are at the upper end of the range, and geopolitical premiums have been fully priced in. The supply and demand of styrene have become more relaxed due to plant restarts, and downstream acceptance is weak. Although there are some export orders, the overseas supply is expected to increase. - Outlook: Oscillation. The height of seasonal inventory accumulation in February has been reduced, but the improvement in the overseas supply - demand situation has weakened the support. [18] Ethylene Glycol (MEG) - View: The import volume in the second quarter has been revised downwards, and there is a weak expectation of supply - demand repair. The price has limited downside. - Main Logic: The price is in a narrow - range consolidation at a low level. There is still seasonal inventory accumulation in January - February, but the medium - term structure is expected to improve. Due to the planned maintenance and postponed restarts of overseas plants in March - April, the import volume in the second quarter is expected to decline, providing some support for the price. - Outlook: In the short term, the price will be in the range of [3700, 4050] yuan/ton. Pay attention to the operation in the range of [- 120, - 85] yuan/ton for the EG05 - 09 spread. [20] Short - Fiber - View: Both supply and demand decline, and trading is light. - Main Logic: The prices of upstream polyester raw materials oscillate and rise, providing some cost support. However, the operating rate of polyester short - fiber has dropped significantly to a low level compared to the same period in previous years, and downstream demand has entered the holiday mode, resulting in less trading. - Outlook: The price of short - fiber will follow the movement of upstream products, and the support for the processing fee will be strengthened. [24] Polyester Bottle Chips - View: Volatility narrows, and the trading atmosphere weakens. - Main Logic: The prices of upstream polyester raw materials rise slightly, and polyester bottle chips follow the increase. The price has been in a narrow - range consolidation recently, with small fluctuations and a slightly weaker trading atmosphere. - Outlook: The absolute price will follow the movement of raw materials, and the support for the processing fee will be strengthened. Consider the position of going long PR and short TA. [26] Methanol - View: Coastal trading has paused before the holiday, and inventory reduction in the inland is coming to an end. Methanol oscillates and consolidates. - Main Logic: The price of methanol oscillates and consolidates. The inland market shows mixed trends, and the pre - holiday inventory reduction by upstream and inventory replenishment by downstream are approaching the end. The market will gradually enter a state of "price but no trading" during the holiday. The inventory of methanol production enterprises and ports has decreased. The US - Iran negotiation still has uncertainties. - Outlook: Oscillation. The situation in Iran remains uncertain, and the coastal market has paused trading before the holiday. The inland market is in the final stage of inventory reduction and replenishment, with limited new orders but firm prices. [28] Urea - View: Pre - holiday orders are coming to an end, and urea oscillates and consolidates. - Main Logic: The supply of urea is at a high level, and industrial demand is gradually weakening as the Spring Festival approaches. Agricultural demand is mainly for flexible replenishment. The inventory of urea production enterprises has decreased. Most enterprises have completed pre - holiday order pre - sales, and the spot price is firm, with only small fluctuations. - Outlook: Oscillation. The supply of urea is stable. Pay attention to the order - receiving progress of enterprises. The market will gradually enter a state of "price but no trading" during the holiday, and the price is expected to remain firm until after the holiday, waiting for the recovery of demand. [30] LLDPE (Plastic) - View: Both long and short positions are cautious before the long holiday, and plastic may oscillate after a decline. - Main Logic: Oil prices oscillate, and the fundamentals of the crude oil market are not optimistic. The uncertainty of the US - Iran situation still supports oil prices. The commodity market sentiment is cautious before the holiday, and there is an indirect impact on plastic. The mid - stream inventory pressure of plastic is not large, and downstream enterprises have gradually stopped production for the holiday. There is still an expectation of macro - consumption policy support. - Outlook: Short - term oscillation. [33] PP - View: Both long and short positions are cautious before the holiday, and PP oscillates after a decline. - Main Logic: Oil prices oscillate, and the fundamentals of the crude oil market are not optimistic. The US - Iran situation supports oil prices. The commodity market sentiment has weakened, which also suppresses PP. The PDH profit of PP refineries is still under pressure, providing some support for the price. The downstream of PP is in the off - season, and downstream enterprises have gradually stopped production before the holiday. There is an expectation of macro - consumption policy support. - Outlook: Short - term oscillation. [34] PL - View: Supported by the spot market, PL oscillates. - Main Logic: PDH maintenance still provides some support. The overall supply increase is limited, and enterprise inventory is controllable. Propylene supply has no pressure, and enterprises aim to stabilize the market. Downstream demand is weak, and short - term powder profit fluctuates within a narrow range. - Outlook: Short - term oscillation. [35] PVC - View: Low valuation and weak expectation, PVC oscillates. - Main Logic: Geopolitical factors may cause fluctuations and affect the commodity market sentiment. Domestic policies such as mercury - free technology and carbon - neutrality will help eliminate backward production capacity, but the implementation period may be long. The support of "export rush" for demand may weaken, and inventory reduction has slowed down. The production of PVC may remain high around the Spring Festival, downstream operating rate is high but trending downward, and the willingness to replenish inventory is poor. The export price of Formosa Plastics has been raised, and the enthusiasm of foreign buyers needs to be observed. Coal price is expected to rise, supporting the price of calcium carbide, and the dynamic cost of PVC is stable. - Outlook: Oscillation. Market sentiment has weakened, and the support of export has decreased, but the low valuation of PVC makes the price oscillate. [36] Caustic Soda - View: The comprehensive profit is poor, and caustic soda weakly stabilizes. - Main Logic: Geopolitical factors still affect the commodity market sentiment. Domestic policies will help eliminate backward production capacity, but the implementation period is long. The price of liquid chlorine has dropped, and the comprehensive profit of chlor - alkali has weakened, increasing the risk of production reduction after the holiday. The marginal profit of alumina production is poor, and the implementation of production reduction may be slow. A large alumina plant in Shandong has a high receiving volume of caustic soda, and the vehicle - pressing phenomenon has improved. The commissioning of alumina plants in Guangxi is advancing, providing marginal support for caustic soda demand. Non - aluminum production has weakened, and low prices have boosted the willingness of middle - and downstream enterprises to replenish inventory. The upstream production has changed little, and the production of caustic soda remains at a high level. The price of liquid chlorine has declined, and the dynamic cost of caustic soda in Shandong is high. - Outlook: Oscillation. The chlor - alkali profit is poor, but the futures price has a high premium. It is expected to oscillate before the holiday. [37] 2.
