Investment Rating - The report rates the industry as "Overweight" [1] Core Viewpoints - Supply-side structural optimization is expected, with a focus on selecting elastic and advantageous sectors. Domestic policies frequently mention supply-side requirements, while rising raw material costs and capacity shocks in Asia have led to shutdowns and capacity exits among European and American chemical companies. In the short term, geopolitical tensions increase uncertainty in overseas chemical supply, but in the long term, China's chemical industry chain has a clear competitive advantage, rapidly filling gaps in the international supply chain and potentially reshaping the global chemical industry landscape [4][14] Summary by Sections Industry News and Events - South Korea plans to cut 25% of its naphtha cracking capacity, shifting towards higher value-added products. This restructuring involves reducing excess capacity and improving financial health while minimizing economic and employment impacts. The government will support proactive industry measures with relaxed regulations and fiscal policies [5][12] - Glyphosate prices are rising again, with domestic factory inventory significantly decreasing. As of August 24, 2025, the inventory was 27,800 tons, down 60.34% year-on-year and 2.46% month-on-month. The market anticipates a slight price increase due to strong domestic demand and export orders [6][13] Chemical Sector Performance - For the week of August 18-22, 2025, the CSI 300 index rose by 4.18%, while the Shenwan Oil and Petrochemical Index increased by 2.92%, underperforming the market by 1.26 percentage points. The Shenwan Basic Chemical Index rose by 2.86%, also underperforming the market by 1.32 percentage points [16][17] - The top five performing sub-sectors included Other Rubber Products (8.53%), Polyurethane (6.34%), Titanium Dioxide (5.69%), Other Petrochemicals (5.05%), and Fluorochemicals (4.79%) [17] Key Product Price Trends - The top price increases for the week included Light Soda Ash (8.25%), Soft Foam Polyether (6.04%), Heavy Soda Ash (5.97%), TDI (4.99%), and Caustic Soda (4.50%).

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - "Anti - involution" related convertible bonds are cost - effective absolute - return assets. The position and bond selection of "anti - involution" sector convertible bonds are the "decisive factors" for the future market due to three reasons: large capital capacity, high cost - performance of underlying stocks, and low bond prices with debt - bottom value support [1][9]. - Five convertible bonds are recommended: Youfa Convertible Bond, Wankai Convertible Bond, Keshun Convertible Bond, Feng 22 Convertible Bond, and Tian 23 Convertible Bond [3][11]. 3. Summary According to the Directory 3.1 Overall Logic and Layout Ideas - **Large capital capacity**: "Anti - involution" sector has a large number of convertible bonds. Industries such as power equipment and basic chemicals have many convertible bonds in existence. If "anti - involution" progresses beyond expectations, it may drive up the underlying stocks and the convertible bond index [1][9]. - **High cost - performance of underlying stocks**: Some industries' underlying stocks, like those in steel, basic chemicals, and power equipment, are under pressure. But "anti - involution" may improve supply - demand, and the leading enterprises may have stronger profit elasticity after industry clearance. Also, the stock prices are low, so there is potential for valuation repair [2][10]. - **Low bond prices with debt - bottom value support**: Most "anti - involution" related convertible bonds have conversion values below 120 yuan, and many are in the 60 - 90 yuan and 90 - 120 yuan ranges. Debt - type/balanced convertible bonds have better debt - bottom protection, suitable for absolute - return funds [2][10]. 3.2 Individual Bond Selection 3.2.1 Youfa Group/Youfa Convertible Bond - Youfa Group is the largest domestic welded - steel pipe enterprise. In 2025, the welded - pipe price declined. With the improvement of downstream demand and the new supply - side reform in the steel industry, the company plans to expand its domestic and overseas layouts [14][15]. 3.2.2 Wankai New Materials/Wankai Convertible Bond - Wankai New Materials is a leading domestic polyester material enterprise. In 2024, the domestic polyester bottle - chip market had increased production but decreased prices. New applications may bring new demand. Many enterprises in the industry are reducing production, which may optimize the supply - demand pattern and increase the company's profitability [20][23]. 3.2.3 Keshun Co., Ltd./Keshun Convertible Bond - Keshun focuses on building waterproofing solutions. The domestic waterproofing industry is highly fragmented, but the new regulations may benefit leading enterprises. Keshun will expand its retail, non - real - estate, and overseas businesses, and improve profitability through R & D and cost reduction [26][31]. 3.2.4 Xin Fengming/Feng 22 Convertible Bond - Xin Fengming is a major player in the polyester fiber industry. The upstream raw material supply is abundant, which is beneficial for the polyester end. Due to environmental policies and industry integration, some small enterprises are being eliminated, and the industry structure is being optimized [32][33]. 3.2.5 Trina Solar/Tian 23 Convertible Bond - Trina Solar is involved in photovoltaic products, energy storage, and system solutions. The Chinese photovoltaic industry faces challenges, but the "anti - involution" action and policy support may bring price recovery, technology premium, and industry integration, and improve the company's profitability and stock valuation [38][39].
