Report Investment Rating - The strategy for both apple and red date is neutral [4][9] Core Viewpoints - For apples, the current price reflects the expectations of the storage volume and structure. Future focus should be on terminal market consumption recovery, the impact of the differentiated storage structure, and the dynamics of merchants' inventory transfers before the Spring Festival. The market is in a off - season, and caution is needed when chasing high prices [4] - For red dates, if the sales situation in the distribution areas improves, the price may rebound during the consumption peak season. However, due to the large inventory of two seasons, the upward rebound space is expected to be limited [9] Summary by Directory Apple Market News and Important Data - Futures: The closing price of the apple 2605 contract yesterday was 9,465 yuan/ton, a change of - 41 yuan/ton or - 0.43% from the previous day [1] - Spot: The price of 80 first and second - grade late Fuji in Shandong Qixia was 4.10 yuan/jin, unchanged from the previous day; the price of over 70 semi - commercial late Fuji in Shaanxi Luochuan was 4.20 yuan/jin, unchanged from the previous day.

The arrival of goods in the sales areas increases, but the overall shipment is not fast, and the inventory pressure still exists [2][3] - The new - season late Fuji storage in the producing areas has ended, with the storage volume more than 10% lower than the same period last year. The merchants are generally optimistic. The inventory decreased last week, and the overall shipment is average [3] - The consumption is mainly on - demand due to the seasonal off - season, and the trading atmosphere is still light. The increasing supply of citrus fruits squeezes the apple sales space, and the sentiment in the sales areas is relatively pessimistic [3] Market Analysis - The apple futures price showed a volatile downward trend yesterday. The trading sentiment in the producing areas is not high, and the shipment of inventory goods is slow. The arrival of goods in the sales areas increases, but the overall shipment is not fast, and the inventory pressure still exists [3] Strategy - Be neutral. The current expectations of storage volume and structure have been reflected in the price. Future focus should be on terminal market consumption recovery, the impact of the differentiated storage structure, and the dynamics of merchants' inventory transfers before the Spring Festival.

The spot basis of EG in East China was -11 yuan/ton (a decrease of -2 yuan/ton month-on-month). Recently, Sanjiang reduced its load, and Xinjiang Zhongkun planned to carry out maintenance, both of which were unplanned. As a result, the EG load decreased, and the price rebounded after a decline [1] - According to Longzhong data, the production profit of ethylene-based EG was -$90/ton (a decrease of -$5/ton month-on-month), and the production profit of coal-based syngas EG was -1,138 yuan/ton (a decrease of -29 yuan/ton month-on-month) [1] - According to CCF data released every Monday, the inventory of MEG at the main ports in East China was 819,000 tons (an increase of 66,000 tons month-on-month); according to Longzhong data released every Thursday, the inventory of MEG at the main ports in East China was 719,000 tons (an increase of 11,000 tons month-on-month).

It is expected that the inventory at the main ports will continue to accumulate [2] - On the supply side, as the maintenance is implemented, the domestic ethylene glycol load has decreased from its high level, and the short-term supply pressure has been alleviated. However, high supply will resume in January. In the future, attention should be paid to the new maintenance situation of ethylene glycol plants after the price decline. In terms of overseas supply, the supply of Middle Eastern goods is at a high level, and there are many long-distance cargo arrivals within the month. The port inventory will still show an upward trend in the first half of the month.

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints - The PX market is in a high - level volatile state, with tight supply and demand, and may be strong before the holiday. It is recommended to hold long PX and short BZ positions. Do not chase high in the short term, and go long on dips [8]. - The PTA market is also in a high - level volatile state, supported by PX costs. It is recommended to hold long PX and short PTA positions in the 05 contract and conduct 5 - 9 positive spreads. Be vigilant against the negative feedback of the industrial chain caused by the early holiday of terminals from late December to early January [9]. - The MEG market has short - term support due to multiple device planned out - of - schedule load reductions. The price is expected to operate in the range of 3600 - 3900 yuan/ton. However, in the medium term, it is in a pattern of increasing supply and decreasing demand [10][11]. Summary by Related Catalogs Market Dynamics - On December 9, the Asian paraxylene UNV1/China and FOB Korea indicators both fell by $9/ton compared to the previous day. The market activity was quiet, and the daily price fluctuations of PX spot were mainly driven by upstream crude oil. Asian market participants are concerned about the development of the physical market in 2026 and the PX regular contract settlement [4][5]. - As the PX contract negotiation nears the end, the focus will gradually shift to the PTA contract negotiation. A 530,000 - ton/year ethylene glycol plant in Kuwait and a 600,000 - ton/year synthetic gas - to - ethylene glycol plant in Xinjiang plan to shut down for maintenance. A 1,000,000 - ton/year EO/EG plant in Zhejiang has seen a continuous decline in load. The sales of polyester in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are weak, and the sales of direct - spun polyester staple fiber are average [7].

The prices of PX CFR China, PTA in East China, MEG spot, naphtha MOPJ, and Dated Brent in the spot market also decreased compared to the previous day [2]. PX Market - The domestic PX operating rate remains at 88.2% (- 0.3%). The GS device has a shutdown plan in December, the Middle East Satorp700,000 - ton device restarts. The supply side of PX is expected to shrink. The PTA operating rate remains at 73.7%. Under the current high - operating mode of polyester, there is a certain supply gap for PX. The PXN continues to expand, and the supply recovery space of PX is limited. Pay attention to the warehouse receipt pressure of the PX01 contract [8]. PTA Market - The PTA operating rate this week remains at 73.7%. The polyester operating rate remains at a high level of 91.8% (+ 0.3%). Supported by the cost of PX, the unilateral price is in a high - level volatile state. The current PTA processing fee is 170 yuan/ton. If there are certain warehouse receipts in the 01 - contract PX, there may be an opportunity for the PTA processing fee to expand [9]. MEG Market - Multiple MEG devices have announced production cuts. According to the current new maintenance situation, there will be no inventory accumulation or even a small - scale inventory reduction in December. In the medium term, new devices such as Ningxia Kunpeng and BASF Zhanjiang will be put into production successively, and the polyester device operating rate will drop to 84% in February.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The overall market demand for black building materials is weak, with steel, iron ore, coking coal, coke, and thermal coal all showing downward or weakening trends [1][3][5][7] - For steel, the supply - demand fundamentals of building materials are improving, while those of plates need improvement through production cuts [1] - Iron ore is facing a situation where supply may increase and demand is weakening, and the accumulation of supply - demand contradictions may lead to price pressure [3] - The demand for coking coal and coke is soft, and the price of coking coal is falling, while the price of coke is under downward pressure [5][6] - The thermal coal market is also weak, with falling prices at the mine mouth and in ports, and a supply - demand pattern of loose supply [7] 3. Summary by Related Catalogs Steel - **Market Analysis**: The futures prices of rebar and hot - rolled coils are at 3079 yuan/ton and 3252 yuan/ton respectively. The spot market has weak trading, with poor speculative sentiment and mainly low - price terminal purchases [1] - **Supply - Demand and Logic**: The supply - demand fundamentals of building materials are improving, with declining consumption and production, and reduced inventory pressure. The supply - demand of plates needs improvement through production cuts to reduce seasonal inventory pressure. With the arrival of the off - season for building materials, attention should be paid to the impact on fundamentals and the changes in production cuts and profits [1] - **Strategy**: Unilateral trading is expected to be in a range - bound state, and there are no strategies for inter - period, inter - variety, spot - futures, or options trading [2] Iron Ore - **Market Analysis**: The futures price of iron ore is weak. The prices of mainstream imported iron ore varieties in Tangshan ports fluctuate slightly, and the trading volume in major ports is 113.7 million tons, a 1.25% increase from the previous period [3] - **Supply - Demand and Logic**: Supply has slightly increased this week. High prices may stimulate supply, but some inventories are locked. Demand is weakening, with a decline in daily average pig iron production and seasonal decline expectations. The supply - demand contradiction is accumulating, and price pressure may occur if external factors are removed [3] - **Strategy**: Unilateral trading is expected to be range - bound, and there are no strategies for inter - period, inter - variety, spot - futures, or options trading [4] Coking Coal and Coke - **Market Analysis**: The futures prices of coking coal and coke are falling. The demand for coke in some regions is weak due to blast furnace maintenance, and the price of coking coal at the mine mouth is continuously falling. The price of imported Mongolian coal has also declined, with the price of Mongolian No. 5 raw coal dropping to about 970 yuan/ton [5] - **Supply - Demand and Logic**: The trading of coking coal is weak, and the supply - demand structure of coke is relatively loose. The price of coke is under downward pressure due to the weak cost side. Attention should be paid to the impact of autumn - winter environmental protection on enterprises and coal price trends [6] - **Strategy**: Both coking coal and coke are expected to trade in a range - bound state, and there are no strategies for inter - period, inter - variety, spot - futures, or options trading [6] Thermal Coal - **Market Analysis**: The prices of thermal coal at the mine mouth in the main production areas are falling. The market demand is weak, with terminal demand - based procurement and traders having a bearish outlook. The port market is also weak, with rising inventories and difficult trading. The prices of both domestic and imported coal are falling, and imported coal has a cost - performance advantage [7] - **Supply - Demand and Logic**: The market sentiment is pessimistic, and the price is in a range - bound state. In the long - term, the supply is loose, and attention should be paid to the consumption and inventory replenishment of non - power coal [7] - **Strategy**: No strategy is provided [7]

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings - No investment ratings are provided in the reports [1][5][7][9] 2. Core Views Methanol - Yesterday, methanol futures oscillated narrowly at low levels. The supply in the inland increased with the restart of some devices, but the profits of coal - and gas - based methanol were weak. The traditional downstream demand slightly improved, and winter fuel demand provided support. In ports, due to gas restrictions in Iran, many devices stopped production, leading to an expected significant decline in imports in Q1 and strengthened inventory - reduction expectations, but current overseas shipments were still high, and there were many recent warehouse receipts registrations, resulting in weak prices. Pay attention to the subsequent trend of MTO05 [1] Polyolefins - The polyolefin market continued to decline, with a pessimistic market sentiment and weak trading. The polyethylene supply is increasing as the operating rate gradually recovers, and although upstream inventory is being depleted faster, it is still higher year - on - year. The profit of PE is relatively good among ethylene downstream products, so there is no obvious drive for production reduction. The polypropylene supply is expected to increase after maintenance, and inventory depletion has accelerated, but the overall inventory level is still higher than in previous years. The cost of propylene is strong, compressing the profit of the PP production process, and the overall valuation is moderately to low. The fundamentals show a pattern of increasing supply and weak demand, with cost support and inventory pressure coexisting [5] Crude Oil - Crude oil prices continued to fall on Tuesday. Although API data showed a significant decline in US crude oil inventory last week, it was still difficult to alleviate market concerns about oversupply. Geopolitical situations such as the US - Venezuela situation and Russia - Ukraine peace talks still affected oil prices. The Fed's interest - rate meeting on December 11 may boost market sentiment. It is expected that Brent crude oil will oscillate between $60 - $65 per barrel in the short term. Continue to pay attention to the announcements of the IEA, OPEC, and the Fed meeting [7] Natural Rubber - On the supply side, the expectation of an increase in overseas supply is rising, and upstream cost support is weakening, but the geopolitical conflict between Thailand and Cambodia may cause market speculation. On the demand side, the production scheduling of tire - maintenance enterprises is gradually recovering, which drives overall output to some extent. However, the shipment rhythm of tire enterprises is slow, and production control behavior still exists, limiting the increase in overall capacity utilization. The market is mainly digesting inventory, and the short - term purchase rhythm has slowed down, with end - users maintaining rigid demand. Overall, the inventory accumulation in Qingdao spot market has slowed down, and due to the geopolitical conflict, the bearish sentiment in the market has converged. It is expected that rubber prices will oscillate [9] LPG - The LPG market shows a complex situation. Futures prices generally declined, while some spot prices remained stable or had small fluctuations. The inventory of LPG refineries and ports decreased, and the operating rate of upstream and downstream industries had minor changes. The market is affected by multiple factors such as supply, demand, and international prices [11] Glass and Soda Ash - For soda ash, the operating rate has returned to a high level, and production remains high. The pending orders of soda ash plants have decreased, and it is expected to return to the inventory - accumulation pattern this week, with a significant oversupply. Downstream demand has decreased, especially in the float - glass industry, and the photovoltaic industry is difficult to grow in the short term. The overall demand for soda ash has contracted. Without actual capacity withdrawal or production - load reduction, the supply - demand situation will be further pressured. The overall situation is still bearish, and the price will continue to oscillate weakly at the bottom. Short positions can be held. For glass, the spot price in some areas has shown signs of weakness, and the production - sales ratio has declined. The short - term demand in some southern regions is supported by the year - end construction rush, but there are concerns about the long - term demand. With the decrease in temperature in the north, outdoor construction will stop, and the outflow of glass from the northeast and northwest will put pressure on other regions. The 01 contract will still face pressure as the delivery month approaches, and the high inventory in the middle - stream trade and futures - spot sectors will also pressure the spot price. It is expected that the futures market will still face pressure [13] PVC and Caustic Soda - For caustic soda, the supply - demand situation still has certain pressure. The operating rate of chlor - alkali enterprises in Shandong is at a high level, and the inventory of main downstream enterprises is high. There is no obvious positive news in the short term. The supply in the East China region is still abundant, and the traditional off - season of demand continues, with no obvious boost from exports. It is expected that the price in East China will continue to weaken, and the long - term supply - demand situation still has pressure. The price of caustic soda is expected to run weakly, and short positions can be held. For PVC, the supply pressure remains this week, and the operating rate still has room for improvement. The demand is sluggish, and although the support from soft products is relatively good, the overall downstream operating rate remains low. The traditional off - season from November to January and the reduction of real - estate demand in the north due to winter have a negative impact. Although domestic PVC has a price advantage in exports and the cancellation of India's BIS certification is beneficial, the expected implementation of anti - dumping duties makes it difficult for external demand to increase significantly. The overall demand has weak support for PVC, the supply - demand situation is in an oversupply pattern. The price is not optimistic, and although the absolute price is low and the futures market has been strong recently, it is difficult to form a continuous upward drive. It is expected to continue the weakening trend at the bottom [14] Polyester Industry Chain - For PX, although the short - term impact on supply is limited due to short - process operating rate support, there is an expected supply contraction in Q1 with the planned maintenance of some Asian devices. The demand side is weak due to concentrated PTA device maintenance and seasonal decline in end - demand. The short - term drive is limited, but there is support at low levels due to the expected improvement in medium - term supply - demand. It is expected to oscillate between 6600 - 7000 yuan/ton. For PTA, the device maintenance in December is still concentrated, and the reduction of polyester operating rate is postponed due to domestic and foreign demand support. After the cancellation of India's BIS certification, the export expectation has increased, and the supply - demand situation is expected to improve, with a phased repair of the basis. However, the supply - demand situation is expected to be relatively loose in Q1, and the repair space of the basis is limited. The absolute price is expected to oscillate weakly. It is expected to oscillate between 4500 - 4800 yuan/ton, and a long - short spread strategy for TA5 - 9 can be considered. For ethylene glycol, the port inventory has been continuously accumulating, and the supply - demand situation is loose from January to February. However, the high - level operation of polyester production provides support for ethylene glycol demand. At the same time, many domestic ethylene glycol devices have been shut down or reduced production, narrowing the inventory - accumulation amplitude in December. It is expected to oscillate at low levels in the short term, and the EG1 - 5 spread reversal strategy can stop loss and exit. For short - fiber, the supply - demand situation remains weak. The supply is at a high level as there is still profit and low inventory pressure. The end - demand is seasonally weakening. The short - fiber price will oscillate weakly following the raw materials. The strategy is the same as that for PTA, and the processing margin on the futures market can be shorted when it is high. For polyester bottle - chips, the supply in December is expected to increase, and it is the off - season of demand. The supply - demand situation remains loose. The main contradiction is the high inventory and weak demand. The price will mainly follow the cost, and the processing margin is expected to be squeezed. The strategy is the same as that for PTA, and the processing margin of the main contract is expected to oscillate between 300 - 450 yuan/ton. The short - term strategy is to short the processing margin [15] Pure Benzene and Styrene - For pure benzene, some disproportionation devices and individual large plants plan to conduct maintenance and reduce production load, but some devices will resume production. The domestic supply is expected to remain stable. The overall downstream cash - flow has improved, but the increase in device maintenance and future shutdown plans limit the demand. There will still be a large amount of imports arriving at ports, and the port inventory is expected to continue to accumulate. The short - term supply - demand situation is weak, and the price drive is weak. The US - Asia arbitrage window theoretically exists. Pay attention to South Korea's export situation. The short - term self - drive of BZ2603 is weak. Pay attention to domestic device changes, and the price may follow the oil price and styrene. For styrene, the planned and unplanned maintenance of styrene devices is expected to increase, but the overall operating rate may slightly increase as the profit continues to recover, and the overall supply pressure may remain. Some downstream industries' operating rates have decreased due to cold air, and the high inventory and profit - decline pressure limit the demand. There will be export shipments in December, and the port inventory may continue to decrease. The supply - demand situation is in a tight balance, but due to weak cost support and seasonal decline in end - demand, the upward space is limited. Pay attention to device changes and actual export transactions. In the short term, the spot market has obvious long - short games, and the futures market may be affected by oil prices and macro - factors. The short - term EB01 is expected to oscillate weakly [17] Urea - The current spot price of urea has shown signs of weakness, and the trading atmosphere in mainstream regions has weakened, with a slowdown in trading enthusiasm. The daily production of urea has significantly rebounded, further intensifying the supply pressure, while the downstream demand is still in the seasonal off - season. The contradiction between weak supply and demand is prominent, which will suppress the urea price in the short term. It is expected to continue the weakly oscillating trend. If the spot price continues to weaken, the futures price will further decline. Pay attention to the 1620 - 1700 yuan/ton range [18] 3.
