1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Views of the Report - In the short - term, polyolefins continued their downward trend this week, mainly driven by macro - sentiment and upstream cost fluctuations, with limited fundamental drivers. The market should focus on whether Sino - US trade frictions will escalate and if new stimulus policies will be introduced during the 20th Fourth Plenary Session. It is recommended to wait and see for unilateral trading [7]. - In the long - term, due to the large number of new PE installations planned to be put into production in the fourth quarter, the supply is expected to increase further. Without new demand - boosting policies, the supply - demand pressure of PE is difficult to resolve, and the weak pattern is expected to continue [8]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Core Contradictions and Strategy Recommendations 3.1.1 Core Contradictions - Supply - demand aspect: The PE supply - demand pattern has not changed much. In October, the device maintenance volume decreased compared to September, and supply returned to a high level. Overseas PE supply - demand is weak, and import is expected to increase from October to November, intensifying supply pressure. Although it is the traditional peak season, demand recovery is slow, downstream orders are insufficient, and enterprises' willingness to replenish inventory is low. PE inventory, especially LLDPE inventory, is at a high level, and the upstream and mid - stream face great shipment pressure [2]. - Macro aspect: The continuous shutdown of the US government and market concerns about credit risks have increased risk - aversion sentiment in the financial market, putting downward pressure on crude oil. Sino - US trade policies are still uncertain, and if trade frictions escalate, it may lead to further price drops in crude oil and chemical products. The 20th Fourth Plenary Session next week is worth attention, and new stimulus policies may boost market sentiment [2]. 3.1.2 Trading Strategy Recommendations - Near - term trading logic: The market should focus on Sino - US trade frictions and new stimulus policies during the 20th Fourth Plenary Session. It is recommended to wait and see for unilateral trading [7]. - Long - term trading expectation: The supply - demand pressure of PE is difficult to resolve, and the weak pattern is expected to continue [8]. 3.1.3 Industrial Customer Operation Recommendations - Price range forecast for polyethylene: 6800 - 7200, with a current volatility of 8.43% and a historical percentile of 5.8% (3 - year) [13]. - Hedging strategy for inventory management: For enterprises with high finished - product inventory, they can short plastic futures to lock in profits and sell call options to reduce costs [13]. - Hedging strategy for procurement management: For enterprises with low procurement inventory, they can buy plastic futures to lock in procurement costs and sell put options to reduce costs [13]. 3.2 This Week's Important Information and Next Week's Attention Events 3.2.1 This Week's Important Information - Bullish information: The market's concern about the US imposing a 100% tariff on China was alleviated by Trump's signal. A 500,000 - ton LLDPE full - density device of Yulong stopped for 5 days due to a fault [15]. - Bearish information: The risk - aversion sentiment in the financial market led to a continuous decline in crude oil prices [16]. 3.2.2 Next Week's Important Events to Follow - The decline of the plastic market slowed down on Wednesday and Thursday, and the downstream's willingness to buy at the bottom increased, leading to a rapid increase in trading volume [17]. 3.3 Disk Interpretation 3.3.1 Price, Volume, and Fund Interpretation - Unilateral trend and fund movement: In the context of the continuous decline of crude oil, PE prices followed the downward trend. This week, the position increased slightly, and the market's bearish sentiment was strong [22]. - Basis structure: During the decline this week, the spot price weakened following the disk, and the basis strengthened passively [24]. - Spread structure: The spread structure has not changed much recently, and the L1 - 5 spread shows a contango structure [26]. 3.4 Valuation and Profit Analysis - As PE prices continued to be weak, the production profits of all production lines were compressed. The coal - based production line with the best profit is on the verge of losses. PE devices are not sensitive to profit, so short - term losses do not usually cause unexpected shutdowns, resulting in a lack of strong cost support during the price decline [28]. 3.5 Supply - Demand and Inventory Deduction 3.5.1 Supply - Demand Balance Sheet Deduction - With the restart of devices and the commissioning of new production capacity, supply pressure will gradually emerge. After October, imports are expected to increase, further increasing the total PE supply. Although it is the traditional peak season for PE downstream, demand growth is expected to be lower than supply. In October, inventory is expected to change from destocking to stocking rapidly, and the supply - strong and demand - weak pattern will suppress PE prices [34]. 3.5.2 Supply - Side and Deduction - The current PE operating rate is 81.76% (- 2.19%). This week, the device maintenance volume increased slightly. ExxonMobil's 500,000 - ton LDPE device is in the trial - run stage. Overall, the return of maintenance devices and the commissioning of new production capacity in the fourth quarter will lead to continuous high supply pressure [38]. 3.5.3 Import - Export and Deduction - Import: The overseas PE supply - demand pattern is loose, and the price difference between the US and China has dropped to a historical low. It is expected that PE imports will increase from late October to November [41]. - Export: Enterprises' enthusiasm for expanding export channels is high this year, and PE exports have increased even in the off - season, but the overall volume is still small and has little impact on the PE supply - demand pattern [41]. 3.5.4 Demand - Side and Deduction - The average operating rate of PE downstream industries is 42.17% (+ 0.56%). The agricultural film operating rate increased significantly, but the growth is slower than in previous years. Other downstream demand is flat, so the demand - side support for PE is limited [44].

The fundamentals of butadiene and cis - butadiene rubber are under pressure, with supply growth outpacing demand growth. However, the valuation is neutral to low, and with many important macro - events, prices are expected to fluctuate [2][4][5]. - **Butadiene**: In the short - term, supply and demand both increase, inventory is neutral, and it will operate in a shock pattern. In the medium - to - long - term, supply pressure is the main contradiction, and the fundamentals are still under significant pressure, expected to be in a weak pattern [7]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Synthetic Rubber Views Supply - This week, some cis - butadiene rubber plants restarted, while others stopped for maintenance. The production of high - cis butadiene rubber was 30,000 tons, a 0.18% increase from last week, and the capacity utilization rate was 74.82%, up 0.13 percentage points. In the next period, there are no new plant restarts or shutdowns, but centralized maintenance will increase significantly at the end of October [4]. Demand - **Rigid Demand**: The capacity utilization rate of tire sample enterprises is expected to fluctuate slightly. Some enterprises are still flexibly controlling production to manage inventory. - **Substitute Demand**: The NR - BR main contract spread remains high, so the overall demand for butadiene rubber maintains a high year - on - year growth rate. Inventory - As of October 15, 2025, the inventory of domestic cis - butadiene rubber sample enterprises was 32,800 tons, a 1.42% increase from the previous period. After the holiday, raw material and synthetic rubber prices declined, and sample trade enterprise inventories decreased [4]. Valuation - The static valuation range of cis - butadiene rubber futures is 10,400 - 11,300 yuan/ton, and the dynamic valuation is expected to gradually decline. The upper valuation limit of the market is 11,200 - 11,300 yuan/ton, and the lower theoretical valuation limit is 10,400 - 10,500 yuan/ton [4]. Strategy - **Single - side**: Implement range strategies based on the fundamental static valuation. The upper pressure is 11,200 - 11,300 yuan/ton, and the lower support is 10,400 - 10,500 yuan/ton. - **Cross - variety**: When the NR - BR spread is at a high valuation, short the spread when it is high [5]. 3.2 Butadiene Views Supply - This week, domestic butadiene production decreased to 102,200 tons, a 2.39% decline, and the capacity utilization rate was 65.79%, down 1.58%. Next week, the sample enterprise production is expected to be about 103,800 tons, a slight increase [7]. Demand - **Synthetic Rubber**: The operating rates of cis - butadiene rubber and styrene - butadiene rubber remain high, and the demand for butadiene maintains a high year - on - year level. - **ABS**: Inventory pressure is high, and the demand for butadiene is expected to remain constant with limited incremental demand. - **SBS**: The operating rate has slightly increased, and the demand for butadiene remains at a rigid level [9]. Inventory - In the period from October 9 - 15, 2025, the total inventory of domestic butadiene samples increased slightly, with a 3.49% increase from last week. The enterprise inventory decreased by 3.23%, and the port inventory increased by 10.99% [9]. View - In the short - term, supply and demand both increase, inventory is neutral, and it will operate in a shock pattern. In the medium - to - long - term, supply pressure is the main contradiction, and the fundamentals are still under significant pressure, expected to be in a weak pattern [7]. 3.3 Industry Capacity and Production Butadiene Capacity - To match the expansion of downstream industries, butadiene capacity has been continuously expanding, with the speed and amplitude slightly faster than that of downstream industries at certain stages. In 2024, the new capacity was 380,000 tons, and in 2025, it is expected to be 860,000 tons [14][16]. Downstream Product Capacity - **Cis - Butadiene Rubber**: Many enterprises have new or expanded production capacity, such as Zhejiang Petrochemical, Zhejiang Transfar Group, etc. - **Styrene - Butadiene Rubber**: Some enterprises in different regions have planned new production capacity in 2026, such as Guangxi Petrochemical and Yanshan Petrochemical [23][24]. - **ABS and SBS**: There has been significant capacity expansion in recent years. In 2024, the ABS capacity increased by 2.06 million tons, and in 2025, it is expected to increase by 1.5 million tons.
