1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content 2. Core Views of the Report - The main contradiction in the current market is anchored to the US - Iran situation. Although the negotiation progress is slow, there are differences in the market's view on the evolution of the conflict, so oil prices are fluctuating repeatedly, waiting for further guidance from market news [1]. - For fuel oil, the supply of low - sulfur fuel oil has marginally improved, and the high - sulfur supply has decreased. The short - term market still focuses on the impact of the latest developments in the US - Iran situation on the crude oil and fuel oil markets [2]. - For asphalt, the supply in the northern region remains relatively low, and refineries are mainly accumulating inventory. The short - term market still focuses on the impact of the latest developments in the US - Iran situation on the raw material market [2]. - For polyester, PX and PTA are expected to be strongly volatile under cost support, while ethylene glycol is expected to be weakly volatile under high - inventory pressure after the festival, but its supply - demand pattern may improve in March [4]. - For rubber, due to the firm raw material price in the low - production season and the increasing concern about production, the rubber price is expected to be strongly volatile [6]. - For methanol, affected by the gas restriction in Iran, the import volume is expected to gradually decline. The MTO device load in the Yangtze River Delta region is not high currently but is expected to recover after the Spring Festival. The subsequent port will enter the de - stocking stage, but the continued tension in the US - Iran situation will cause the methanol price to fluctuate significantly [6]. - For polyolefins, the post - festival demand recovery is slow, and due to the pre - festival downstream restocking, the short - term market trading activity is not high, and there is a certain pressure for further upward movement [6]. - For polyvinyl chloride, the post - festival supply maintains a slow - increasing trend, and the downstream demand support is limited. It is expected that the PVC price will maintain a bottom - level fluctuation [7]. 3.
