Report Industry Investment Rating - The report suggests a cautious and bearish stance on plastics for unilateral trading, with no specific strategy for inter - period trading [3] Core Viewpoints - It is the off - season for downstream demand, with limited boosting effects. The agricultural film industry has low operating rates, and other end - user industries are running weakly. Upstream inventory is being depleted, while inventory reduction in the mid - stream trading sector is slow. International oil and propane prices have dropped significantly, weakening the cost support for polyolefins. Some previously shut - down and overhauled plants have resumed operation, and new supply has slightly increased. However, petrochemical plants are about to enter the traditional overhaul season, and future intensive overhauls of existing plants will relieve some of the new supply pressure [1][2] Summary by Directory 1. Polyolefin Basis Structure - The closing price of the L main contract is 7249 yuan/ton (- 12), and that of the PP main contract is 7044 yuan/ton (- 26).

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Core Viewpoints - SH2509 rose 0.77% to close at 2358 yuan/ton. On the supply side, last week, Jincheng Chemical, Dongying Huatai, and Ordos plants were shut down for maintenance, while Huojiagou, Haohua Yuhang, and Shandong Aluminum plants restarted, with the caustic soda capacity utilization rate increasing by 1.3% to 82.5%. On the demand side, last week, the alumina operating rate decreased by 0.07% to 80.67%; the viscose staple fiber operating rate decreased by 2.23% to 78.57%, and the printing and dyeing operating rate decreased by 0.42% to 60.31%. In terms of inventory, last week, the liquid caustic soda factory inventory increased by 6.51% to 390,400 tons, which is at a moderately high level in the same period. This week, three plants in the Northwest and East China are planned to shut down, and three plants in North China are planned to restart, with the capacity utilization rate expected to rise slightly. There are many caustic soda production plants from June to July, increasing the industry supply pressure in the medium and long term. The alumina price and profit have declined slightly, the growth of the operating rate has stagnated, and the delivery volume of the main suppliers in Shandong has decreased; the non-aluminum off-season has weak rigid demand and resistance to high prices. With the increase in future supply, under the background of limited demand, there is still significant pressure on the caustic soda spot market. In the futures market, since the basis has converged, there is still a lack of positive fundamentals, and the sustainability of the rebound of the 09 contract is questionable. However, since it is close to the cost below 2200, the downward space of the futures price is also limited. In the short term, SH2509 is expected to fluctuate within a range, and the daily K-line should pay attention to the support around 2240 and the pressure around 2400 [3] Summary by Directory Futures Market - The main closing price of caustic soda was 2358 yuan/ton, up 39 yuan; the futures trading volume was 695,140 lots, up 80,795 lots; the contract closing price of caustic soda for January was 2354 yuan/ton, up 30 yuan; the contract closing price of caustic soda for May was 2410 yuan/ton, up 27 yuan; the net position of the top 20 futures traders was -10,586 lots, up 14,324 lots; the futures open interest was 278,829 lots, up 9592 lots [3] 现货市场 - The price of 32% ion-exchange membrane caustic soda in Shandong was 770 yuan/ton, down 10 yuan; the price in Jiangsu was 900 yuan/ton, down 30 yuan; the converted 100% caustic soda price in Shandong was 2406.25 yuan/ton, down 31.25 yuan; the basis of caustic soda was 48 yuan/ton, down 71 yuan [3] Upstream Situation - The mainstream price of raw salt in Shandong was 210 yuan/ton, unchanged; the mainstream price in the Northwest was 220 yuan/ton, unchanged; the price of steam coal was 635 yuan/ton, unchanged [3] Industry Situation - The mainstream price of liquid chlorine in Shandong was 0 yuan/ton, down 50.5 yuan; the mainstream price in Jiangsu was -225 yuan/ton, down 50 yuan [3] Downstream Situation - The spot price of viscose staple fiber was 13,020 yuan/ton, unchanged; the spot price of alumina was 3080 yuan/ton, unchanged [3] Industry News - From June 20th to 26th, the average capacity utilization rate of Chinese caustic soda sample enterprises with a capacity of 200,000 tons or more was 82.5%, a month-on-month increase of 1.3%. As of June 26th, the factory inventory of fixed liquid caustic soda sample enterprises with a capacity of 200,000 tons or more nationwide was 390,400 tons (wet tons), a month-on-month increase of 6.51% and a year-on-year increase of 10.40% [3]

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings - No industry investment ratings were provided in the report. 2. Core Views of the Report - **LLDPE & PP**: PE is expected to fluctuate, while PP is expected to trend downward in the short - term. PP's short - term production is at a high level due to the return of maintenance and smooth new production. PE's basis strengthens after the decline in the futures price, and the import volume in June decreased significantly with a slight increase expected in July. Both are affected by the off - season in demand [2]. - **Styrene**: The supply - demand balance of styrene may gradually weaken. It is expected to continue to decline in the short - term due to increased supply, weak downstream demand, and geopolitical factors. It should be treated bearishly [7]. - **Urea**: In the short - term, attention should be paid to export progress, supply - side maintenance, and demand - side changes. It is advisable to consider going long at low prices based on the rebound logic driven by news, but strict stop - losses are required [11]. - **PVC & Caustic Soda**: For caustic soda, it is recommended to wait and see as it may face further inventory pressure after the return of maintenance devices. For PVC, it is advisable to wait and see in the short - term and maintain a medium - term short - selling strategy due to prominent supply - demand contradictions [39]. - **Methanol**: The market is affected by the easing of the Iranian situation, with a decline in the futures price and a strengthening basis. Attention should be paid to the actual shipping after the restart of Iranian devices. The inland supply is tight, and demand is in the off - season [49]. - **Polyester Industry Chain**: PX, PTA, and other products are expected to fluctuate. For example, PX is expected to fluctuate within a certain range, and it is advisable to wait and see in the short - term [52]. - **Crude Oil**: Oil prices are expected to fluctuate widely in the short - term, lacking a strong trend. It is recommended to wait and see in the short - term, and capture opportunities in option trading when volatility narrows [56]. 3.

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings No information about industry investment ratings is provided in the reports. 2. Core Views Lithium Carbonate - The recent market sentiment is stable, and the market is mainly in a state of shock. However, there is a lack of actual positive news, and the short - term fundamentals still face pressure. In June, due to the boost in processing output and the increase in lithium extraction from some spodumene, the balance may be in surplus. The short - term market is expected to operate in a weak range, but the profit - to - risk ratio of short - selling is weakening, and the main contract is expected to operate between 56,000 - 62,000 yuan [1]. Nickel - Recently, the macro situation is temporarily stable, but the sentiment in the spot market is low. The cost support for refined nickel has slightly weakened, and the medium - term supply remains loose, restricting the upside space. The short - term fundamentals change little, and the market is expected to adjust through weak - range shock, with the main contract referring to 118,000 - 124,000 yuan [2]. Stainless Steel - The fundamentals remain weak. The ore end provides some price support, the negotiation range of nickel - iron prices has moved down, the stainless - steel production remains high, and the demand is weak with slow inventory reduction. In the short - term, there is still pressure on the fundamentals due to the supply - demand contradiction. The market is expected to operate weakly, with the main contract operating between 12,400 - 13,000 yuan [5]. Tin - The supply - side recovery is slow. In the short - term, tin prices are expected to be strong and fluctuate. However, considering the pessimistic demand outlook, it is advisable to short at around 260,000 - 265,000 yuan based on the inflection points of inventory and import data [7]. Aluminum - For aluminum, the short - term upper limit is around 20,500 yuan, and the price is expected to be around 20,000 yuan with a fluctuating trend. If the actual demand weakens in the third quarter, the price may find support at 19,000 - 19,500 yuan. For alumina, if the ore - end issues do not worsen, smelters may resume production after profit recovery, and the inventory is expected to gradually increase [8]. Zinc - In the long - term, zinc is in a supply - side loosening cycle. If the growth rate of the ore end is lower than expected and the downstream consumption performs better than expected, zinc prices may remain in a high - level shock pattern. In a pessimistic scenario, zinc prices may decline. It is advisable to short at high levels in the long - term, with the main contract focusing on the support at 21,000 - 21,500 yuan [10]. Copper - Under the combination of "strong reality + weak expectation", copper prices do not have a clear and smooth trend. The strong fundamentals limit the downward movement of prices, while the weak macro - expectations restrict the upside space. In the short - term, prices are expected to fluctuate, with the main contract referring to 77,000 - 80,000 yuan [13]. 3.

Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided Core View of the Report The supply of polyolefins is under pressure due to the expected restart of multiple previously shut - down plants and the ramp - up of new production capacities. The cost support for polyolefins has increased with the rising international crude oil prices. The propane price has been weakening, leading to a slight increase in the start - up rate of PDH - based PP production. It is the traditional off - season for polyolefin downstream demand, with the agricultural film start - up rate continuing to decline and other terminal start - up rates being weakly volatile. Terminal factories have low enthusiasm for raw material procurement, mainly making rigid - demand purchases. The inventories of upstream factories and traders are being slowly depleted. The strategy for plastics is to be cautiously bearish on the single - side, and there is no strategy for the inter - period [1][3][4] Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 1. Polyolefin Basis Structure The L main contract closed at 7106 yuan/ton (+28), the PP main contract closed at 6941 yuan/ton (+9), the LL spot price in North China was 7140 yuan/ton (+50), the LL spot price in East China was 7120 yuan/ton (+20), the PP spot price in East China was 7080 yuan/ton (+10), the LL basis in North China was 34 yuan/ton (+22), the LL basis in East China was 14 yuan/ton (-8), and the PP basis in East China was 139 yuan/ton (+1) [2] 2.

Report Industry Investment Rating There is no information about the industry investment rating in the provided content. Core Viewpoints - The sentiment towards copper is neutral, with short - term prices expected to oscillate at high levels due to factors such as raw material supply tightness, weakening consumption resilience, high near - month contract positions, and increased export expectations [1]. - Aluminum prices are expected to fluctuate weakly, supported by inventory depletion but pressured by tariff hikes and seasonal demand weakness [3]. - Lead prices are likely to remain weak as downstream consumption weakens despite potential small rebounds driven by a warmer commodity market [4]. - Zinc prices face significant downward risks due to oversupply and weak terminal consumption, despite possible small rebounds from a warmer market [6]. - Tin prices are supported by supply uncertainties and strong low - price buying demand, with the supply side facing short - term uncertainties [7]. - Nickel's short - term fundamentals show a slight improvement, but the long - term outlook is bearish, and it is advisable to short on rebounds [8]. - Lithium carbonate prices are expected to oscillate at the bottom as the short - term fundamentals remain unchanged and the inventory pressure persists [10]. - Alumina prices are expected to be anchored by costs, and it is recommended to short on high prices as the capacity surplus persists [13]. - Stainless steel market will continue to be under pressure in the short term due to high inventory, weak demand, and other negative factors [15]. Summary by Metals Copper - Last week, LME copper rose 1.83% to $9670/ton, and SHFE copper closed at 78620 yuan/ton. Three - exchange inventories decreased by 0.9 tons, with different trends in each exchange. The import loss of spot copper widened, and the export window for spot feed - processing opened.

Aluminum - Last week, SHFE aluminum closed flat, and LME aluminum rose 0.12% to $2451/ton. Domestic aluminum ingot inventories continued to decline, and the spot basis decreased. The supply increased slightly, and demand weakened. The price is expected to fluctuate between 19800 - 20200 yuan/ton for SHFE aluminum and 2380 - 2500 dollars/ton for LME aluminum [3]. Lead - As of Friday, SHFE lead index rose 0.49% to 16775 yuan/ton, and LME lead 3S rose to $1990.5/ton. Fed's dovish remarks and strong non - farm data may drive a small rebound, but weak downstream consumption and high inventories will keep prices weak [4]. Zinc - As of Friday, SHFE zinc index rose 0.14% to 22289 yuan/ton, and LME zinc 3S fell to $2690/ton. A warmer market may cause a small rebound, but oversupply and weak consumption pose significant downward risks [6]. Tin - Last week, tin prices rebounded from the bottom. Supply may face a 500 - 1000 - ton reduction in June, and smelters plan to cut production. Demand has not increased significantly, and downstream purchasing enthusiasm declines as prices rise. The price is expected to range from 230000 - 260000 yuan/ton domestically and 28000 - 31000 dollars/ton overseas [7]. Nickel - Last week, nickel prices oscillated. Nickel ore supply is tight, nickel - iron prices rebounded, MHP prices are high, and nickel sulfate prices may strengthen. The short - term outlook is slightly better, but the long - term is bearish. The price is expected to range from 115000 - 128000 yuan/ton for SHFE nickel [8]. Lithium Carbonate - The MMLC index was flat on Friday, and the futures contract rebounded slightly. The current lithium salt production is high, and the inventory pressure persists. The price is expected to oscillate at the bottom, with the main contract ranging from 59520 - 61540 yuan/ton [10]. Alumina - On June 6, the alumina index fell 1.36% to 2899 yuan/ton. The import window opened, and the inventory decreased. Due to capacity surplus, prices are expected to be cost - anchored, and it is recommended to short on high prices. The main contract AO2509 is expected to range from 2800 - 3200 yuan/ton [13]. Stainless Steel - On Friday, the stainless - steel main contract closed at 12680 yuan/ton. Spot prices were mostly stable, and inventories increased. The market will continue to be under pressure due to high inventory, weak demand, and other factors [15].
