Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Core Viewpoints - During the May Day holiday, the decline of the foreign LPG market was less than that of crude oil, and the oil - gas ratio decreased. The official prices of May CP were higher than market expectations, and the increase of CP discount drove up the import cost, providing some support for the propane price. The domestic civil gas price remained stable overall, with the cheapest deliverable product priced at 4,820 yuan/ton. The LPG market is expected to be dominated by weak oscillations [1]. Summary by Relevant Contents Market Price Information - From April 24 to April 30, 2025, the prices of South China LPG, East China LPG, Shandong LPG, propane CFR South China, propane CIF Japan, MB propane spot, CP forecast contract price, Shandong ether - after carbon four, and Shandong alkylated oil showed different trends. The daily change on April 30 showed that the price of propane CFR South China increased by 17, propane CIF Japan decreased by 8, MB propane spot decreased by 9, CP forecast contract price decreased by 9, Shandong ether - after carbon four increased by 50, and the paper import profit decreased by 136, while the主力基差 decreased by 1 [1]. - On May 4, for civil gas, the price in Shandong decreased by 10 to 4,820, remained flat in East China at 4,925, and increased by 90 to 5,180 in South China; for imported gas, the price in East China increased by 15 to 5,158, and in South China increased by 80 to 5,230; the price of ether - after carbon four increased by 50 to 4,970. The lowest price was the civil gas in Shandong at 4,820 [1]. Market Conditions and Trends - Before the holiday, the PG futures market oscillated, with the basis of the 06 contract at 420 and the PG06 - 07 monthly spread at 94, which narrowed. The arbitrage window from the US to the Far East was closed [1]. - Fundamentally, the high arrival volume led to obvious port inventory accumulation; the factory inventory decreased slightly due to upstream price - cutting to clear inventory before the holiday, but the downstream replenishment demand was average. After the holiday, the arrival volume is expected to decline gradually, especially the arrival of US goods. The upstream refinery supply is expected to be stable in the short term, with an expected increase in June. Chemical demand is expected to be average, with weak demand for alkylated oil, limited willingness of factories to increase production in the short term; MTBE is expected to operate weakly overall; some PDH factories may reduce production due to raw material procurement problems [1].

Recently, the spread between high and low sulfur can be expanded on dips, but there is no downward trend in high-sulfur cracking before the peak season. Pay attention to the fulfillment of power generation procurement demand [4][5] Summary by Relevant Catalogs Rotterdam Fuel Oil Swap Data - From April 23 to April 29, 2025, the price of Rotterdam 3.5% HSF O swap M1 decreased by 3.74, the price of Rotterdam 0.5% VLS FO swap M1 decreased by 5.23, the Rotterdam HSFO-Brent M1 increased by 0.09, the Rotterdam 10ppm Gasoil swap M1 decreased by 7.22, the Rotterdam VLSFO-G M1 increased by 1.99, the LGO-Brent M1 increased by 0.64, and the Rotterdam VLSFO-HSFO M1 decreased by 1.49 [2] Singapore Fuel Oil Swap Data - From April 23 to April 29, 2025, the price of Singapore 380cst M1 decreased by 5.99, the price of Singapore 180cst M1 decreased by 6.68, the price of Singapore VLSFO M1 decreased by 8.88, the price of Singapore Gasoil M1 decreased by 1.11, the Singapore 380cst-Brent M1 increased by 0.51, and the Singapore VLSFO-Gasoil M1 decreased by 0.67 [2] Singapore Fuel Oil Spot Data - From April 23 to April 29, 2025, the FOB 380cst price decreased by 7.03, the FOB VLSFO price decreased by 10.25, the 380 basis decreased by 0.05, the high-sulfur internal and external spread decreased by 0.6, and the low-sulfur internal and external spread decreased by 1.0 [3] Domestic FU Data - From April 23 to April 29, 2025, the price of FU 01 decreased by 58, the price of FU 05 decreased by 57, the price of FU 09 decreased by 62, the FU 01 - 05 spread decreased by 1, the FU 05 - 09 spread increased by 5, and the FU 09 - 01 spread decreased by 4 [3] Domestic LU Data - From April 23 to April 29, 2025, the price of LU 01 decreased by 74, the price of LU 05 decreased by 68, the price of LU 09 decreased by 75, the LU 01 - 05 spread decreased by 6, the LU 05 - 09 spread increased by 7, and the LU 09 - 01 spread decreased by 1 [4]

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. Core Views Polyolefin Industry - LL: In May, maintenance increases and imports decrease. If the exemption of ethane imports weakens the expectation of supply reduction, attention should be paid to the demand situation after May. Under the situation of weak supply and demand, the inventory pressure is still large, and there is a possibility of decline in the long - term pattern [4]. - PP: In the second quarter, the peak maintenance season eases the supply pressure slightly, but the output is still high. The demand has bottom support but is gradually weakening. The long - term pattern is weak, and there is a downward risk [4]. Styrene Industry - The market price of pure benzene continues to decline. The raw material trend is weak, and the downstream styrene futures are also weak. The supply of pure benzene has returned, and there is no sign of improvement. The styrene market is weakly volatile, and there is supply pressure in May. In the medium term, due to the impact of tariffs, there is price pressure on styrene. The strategy is to participate in high - altitude operations, with the upper resistance line at 7300 [11]. Polyester Industry - PX: The short - term trading may be stronger, and the strategy is to focus on expanding the low - level spread of PX - SC. - PTA: The supply and demand drive becomes stronger, and the price support is relatively strong. The strategy is to wait and see before the festival, and treat TA9 - 1 as a short - term positive spread and a medium - term reverse spread. - Ethylene glycol: It is expected to fluctuate in May. The strategy is that EGO9 is expected to fluctuate between 4050 - 4300. - Short - fiber: The rebound space is limited, and it will be mainly adjusted by shock before the festival. The strategy is similar to PTA for one - side trading, and pay attention to the opportunity to expand the processing fee of PFO6 below 900. - Bottle chips: The output is expected to be high, and the relative price follows the raw material fluctuations. The strategy is similar to PTA for one - side trading, and the main contract processing fee is expected to fluctuate between 350 - 550 yuan/ton [16]. PVC and Caustic Soda Industry - Caustic soda: The short - term supply and demand improve marginally, but the long - term expectation is weak. It is recommended to wait and see before the festival, and mainly go short in the medium - term for the 09 contract. - PVC: The start - up rate increases slightly, and the social inventory continues to decline seasonally. The demand is average, and there are problems in exports. The short - term operation should be cautious, and the medium - and long - term strategy is to participate in high - altitude operations [24]. Urea Industry - The main problem is the poor connection between supply and demand under the background of high supply. The supply pressure is increasing. The demand shows structural differentiation. The main contract 2509 may have a small rebound after the festival. It is recommended to wait and see before the festival, and take a short - selling strategy on rallies after the festival if there is a small rebound and no obvious improvement in the fundamentals. The option strategy is to buy and expand the spread in the short - term [30][31]. Crude Oil Industry - The overnight oil price was weakly running, pressured by macro - pressure and supply - side easing expectations. If the consumption end fails to replenish stocks in May, the downward channel of the market may further open. It is recommended to wait and see before the festival. The volatility ranges are given as [59, 69] for WTI, [62, 72] for Brent, and [460, 520] for SC. The option strategy is to focus on increasing volatility [49].
