Core Views - The chemical market is significantly affected by the Middle East situation, especially the oil price fluctuations [2][3][4][5][6][7] - Different chemical products have different supply - demand situations and price trends, and the market sentiment is complex [2][3][4][5][6][7] 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Olefins - Polyolefins - The main contracts of olefin futures closed down. International oil price decline dragged down market sentiment, and downstream观望 increased [2] - For polyethylene, domestic production reduction devices increased, but cost support weakened due to the easing of the Middle East situation [2] - For polypropylene, high - price transactions faced pressure, and downstream enterprises' profit was squeezed, with weak order - taking and low willingness to start work [2] 3.2 Polyester - Affected by the US - Iran situation, PX and PTA prices declined, and the industry's efficiency decreased. The load of both decreased, and the downstream consumption followed up slowly [3] - The load of ethylene glycol decreased, and the price and monthly spread declined due to the expected decline in oil prices [3] - The load of short - fiber decreased slightly, and the downstream weaving load increase slowed down, mainly digesting raw materials [3] - The efficiency of bottle chips improved, the weekly load increased significantly, but the price was under pressure, and the monthly spread continued to weaken [3] 3.3 Pure Benzene - Styrene - The Middle East situation cooled slightly, and the geopolitical risk premium was withdrawn. The domestic pure benzene start - up load decreased, and the inventory decreased [4] - The main contract of styrene futures closed down, but the overall situation was relatively strong and volatile [4] 3.4 Coal Chemical Industry - The methanol market adjusted due to the expected geopolitical easing. The import volume decreased, and the inventory in the East China port continued to decline [5] - The spot price of Shandong urea was stable with a slight increase. The domestic device start - up decreased slightly, and the inventory of urea production enterprises continued to decline [5] 3.5 Chlor - alkali - PVC prices fell from high levels due to the expected easing of the geopolitical situation. The supply decreased, and the inventory decreased significantly [6] - Caustic soda fluctuated weakly. The inventory continued to decline, and the export inquiry was good [6] 3.6 Soda Ash - Glass - Soda ash fluctuated within the day. The industry inventory continued to decline but still faced pressure. The supply continued to expand [7] - Glass fluctuated weakly within the day. The industry continued to destock, but the intensity slowed down. The inventory pressure of the middle and upper reaches was relatively large [7]
