Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided Core View The supply of coke remains stable at a high level, demand continues to weaken, and the supply-demand pattern is weak, suppressing coke prices. However, the cost support for coke is strong, and the "weak reality" and "high cost" continue to compete. It is expected that coke prices will continue to fluctuate within a range [6] Summary by Relevant Catalogs Price Performance - Since mid - October, coke futures and spot prices have risen synchronously. The futures main contract reached a maximum of 1,818.5 yuan/ton, approaching the annual high. Recently, due to weaker market sentiment, the futures price has declined but remains at a relatively high level. The spot price is also strong, with the third round of price increases by coke enterprises implemented, and the cumulative increase in port spot ex - warehouse prices reaching 150 yuan/ton [2] Supply Situation - Coke supply is stable at a high level. As of the week ending October 31, the daily average coke output of all - sample independent coke enterprises was 64.59 tons, with a capacity utilization rate of 73.44%, down 2.17 tons and 2.48 percentage points respectively compared to mid - September. The daily average coke output of 247 steel mills was 46.21 tons, rising for two consecutive weeks. The combined daily average output of steel mills and coking plants was 110.80 tons, down 2.27% from the previous high. However, due to poor profitability of coke enterprises and production restrictions in some areas, short - term supply is difficult to increase significantly [3] Demand Situation - Coke demand continues to weaken. Although steel demand has rebounded during the peak season, it has not alleviated the contradictions in the steel industry. With production restrictions, steel mills have increased production cuts, and the demand for raw materials such as coke has continued to decline. As of the week ending October 31, the daily average hot metal output of 247 steel mills was 236.36 tons, declining for five consecutive weeks with an expanding decline. The proportion of profitable steel mills among 247 steel mills was 45.02%, declining for 12 consecutive weeks with a cumulative decline of 23.38 percentage points [4] Cost Support - Rising coal prices have continuously increased the production cost of coke, providing strong support for its price. As of the week ending October 31, the approved capacity utilization rate of 523 coking coal mine samples was 84.78%, and the daily average raw coal output was 190.33 tons, down 1.72 percentage points and 3.80 tons respectively compared to the end of September. Low supply has led to continuous depletion of coking coal inventory, and the current raw coal and clean coal inventories have reached new lows. The low - supply state of domestic coking coal is expected to continue, and with low inventory, coking coal prices are relatively firm [5]

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints - The market sentiment is average, and the black commodities are oscillating. Steel prices are running weakly, iron ore prices face downward pressure but are difficult to show a trend direction in the short - term, coking coal prices are oscillating, and power coal prices are rising [1][3][4][6] Summary by Related Catalogs Steel Market Analysis - Yesterday, the main contract of rebar closed at 3,024 yuan/ton, and the main contract of hot - rolled coil closed at 3,253 yuan/ton, continuing the weak oscillation. The overall performance of spot steel transactions was average, with the total national building materials trading volume at 9.39 tons, still maintaining a low trading volume [1] Supply - Demand and Logic - The cost - side support for rebar remains, and the policy side needs further observation. Under the current fundamentals, the futures market will continue the weak oscillation pattern. The consumption of hot - rolled coils still has certain resilience. The iron water flows to hot - rolled coils, so the production is at a relatively high level. Since steel mills currently have profits, their willingness to reduce production is low. In November, the number of planned maintenance and production reduction of steel mills increases, and there are also environmental protection restrictions in the north from time to time [1] Strategy - Unilateral: Oscillating weakly; No strategies for inter - period, inter - variety, spot - futures, and options [2] Iron Ore Market Analysis - Yesterday, the iron ore futures prices oscillated. In the spot market, the prices of mainstream imported iron ore varieties fluctuated slightly. The enthusiasm of traders to offer was average, and the quotes mostly followed the market. Steel mills' purchases were mainly for rigid demand. The cumulative transaction volume of iron ore at major national ports was 1.088 million tons, a month - on - month decrease of 25.53%; the cumulative transaction volume of forward - looking spot was 1.499 million tons, a month - on - month increase of 107.62% [3] Supply - Demand and Logic - This week, the arrival volume of iron ore at ports rebounded significantly, a month - on - month increase of 58.6%. The current overall valuation of iron ore is neutral, and the supply - demand pattern of iron ore is changing from tight balance to looseness. The iron ore price faces downward pressure, but it is difficult to show a trend direction in the short - term under the support of downstream restocking demand. With the loss and production reduction of steel mills, the resilience of the demand side of iron ore has loosened, and the iron ore price faces correction pressure. Attention should be paid to the molten iron production and downstream inventory changes in the future [3] Strategy - Unilateral: Oscillating weakly; No strategies for inter - period, inter - variety, spot - futures, and options [3] Coking Coal and Coke Market Analysis - Yesterday, the coking coal and coke futures markets showed an oscillating and sorting trend, with obvious price differentiation between contracts. The closing prices of the main contracts of coking coal and coke both declined slightly. For imported Mongolian coking coal, the recent customs clearance volume has rebounded rapidly, the quotes fluctuate and adjust with the futures market, the trading volume is average, and the market is mostly in a cautious wait - and - see state [4] Logic and Viewpoints - For coking coal, the domestic mine supply has not fully recovered, but the recent rapid rebound of Mongolian coking coal customs clearance volume has a certain impact on the short - term price. From the perspective of inventory, the inventory at all links in the industry is at a medium - low level, and the coking coal inventory is significantly lower than the same period last year, which supports the market fundamentals to maintain resilience. The market's expectation of the subsequent rise of raw material prices continues to increase. The continuous rise of thermal coal spot prices further strengthens the support for coking coal prices. For coke, the supply has shrunk, the third round of price increase is still in progress, and the downstream steel enterprises on the demand side still mainly purchase for rigid demand. Attention should be paid to the implementation of the new round of coke price increase, the steel mills' production reduction plans, and the recovery progress of coking coal supply [5] Strategy - Coking coal: Oscillating; Coke: Oscillating; No strategies for inter - period, inter - variety, spot - futures, and options [5] Power Coal Market Analysis - In the production areas, the coal prices are still strong, and the supply is still tight. With the railway transportation discount again, the platforms and traders are actively pulling and transporting, and the miners' inventory has been at a low level for a long time. Miners are optimistic about the future price increase recently, believing that the supply - demand mismatch is difficult to change in the short - term. At the ports, the port transactions are still mainly long - term agreements. Affected by the upstream price increase, the traders' quotes remain high, but the downstream acceptance of high - priced coal is low. Currently, it is difficult to find low - priced coal at the ports, the inventory accumulation is less than expected, the downstream demand is good, and the short - term price will mainly rise. In terms of imports, the recent import coal market has been actively tendering, the domestic - foreign price difference is large, there is a certain profit in imported coal, and the center of the recently awarded bid prices has also risen [6] Demand and Logic - Affected by the tight supply in the production areas, the short - term price will oscillate strongly. In the long - term, the pattern of loose supply remains unchanged, but the winter heating peak season is coming, and the non - power demand of the downstream is strong. Attention should be paid to the overall consumption and restocking situation in the future [6] Strategy - No strategy provided [6]

Core Insights - Since mid-October, both coking coal futures and spot prices have risen, with futures reaching a peak of 1818.5 yuan/ton, approaching the year's high. However, recent market sentiment has weakened, leading to a price pullback while remaining at relatively high levels [1] - Coking coal supply remains stable at high levels, with average daily production at 645,900 tons and a capacity utilization rate of 73.44%. Despite a slight decrease in production, the overall supply remains robust due to downstream steel mills' restocking and decent shipment conditions from coking enterprises [2] - Coking coal demand continues to weaken, with average daily pig iron production dropping to 2,363,600 tons, marking a five-week decline. The profitability of steel mills has deteriorated, with only 45.02% of mills reporting profits, a drop of 23.38 percentage points over 12 weeks [3] Supply Dynamics - Coking coal supply is stabilizing at high levels, with production costs rising due to increasing coking coal prices. Despite price hikes by coking enterprises, profitability remains poor, with 64% of coking enterprises reporting losses [2][5] - The average daily production of coking coal is 1,903,300 tons, with a utilization rate of 84.78%. The low supply has led to a decrease in coal inventories, with raw coal inventory at 4,316,100 tons, down 122,600 tons from the previous month [5][8] Demand Trends - The demand for coking coal is declining, exacerbated by production cuts in steel mills. The overall steel industry remains under pressure, with high inventory levels and significant de-stocking pressure [3] - Despite a seasonal uptick in steel demand, it has not alleviated the underlying issues within the steel industry, leading to a continued decline in coking coal demand [3] Price Outlook - The coking coal market is characterized by a weak supply-demand balance, which is expected to exert downward pressure on coking coal prices. However, strong cost support from rising production costs may lead to a range-bound price movement [6]

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. Core Viewpoints - The overall sentiment in the commodity market is weak, leading to a decline in the industrial silicon and polysilicon futures markets. For industrial silicon, the current low valuation may present an opportunity for price increases if relevant policies are introduced. For polysilicon, the market is affected by anti - involution policies and weak reality, with limited upside potential and expected to remain in a wide - range oscillation [3][7]. Summary by Related Content Industrial Silicon Market Analysis - On November 4, 2025, the industrial silicon futures price dropped. The main contract 2601 opened at 9,130 yuan/ton and closed at 8,885 yuan/ton, a change of - 210 yuan/ton (- 2.31%) from the previous settlement. The position of the 2511 main contract was 242,153 lots at the close, and the total number of warehouse receipts was 45,823 lots, a decrease of 338 lots from the previous day [1]. - The spot price of industrial silicon remained stable. In November, the supply is expected to increase as some maintenance devices resume production, while demand shows no significant change, resulting in an oversupply situation. Although the cost of industrial silicon has been oscillating slightly upward recently, it can only provide short - term support for the price of DMC and cannot drive a substantial price rebound [1][2]. - In October 2025, China's industrial silicon production was 452,200 tons, a month - on - month increase of 31,400 tons (7.5%) and a year - on - year decrease of 17,600 tons (4%). From January to October 2025, the cumulative production of industrial silicon was 3.4699 million tons, a year - on - year decrease of 16.6% [1]. Strategy - The intraday correction was mainly affected by the overall commodity sentiment. Production cuts started in the southwest at the end of October, and the supply - demand pattern may improve. The industrial silicon futures market is currently oscillating based on the overall commodity sentiment and policy news. If relevant policies on capacity exit are introduced, there may be room for price increases. Short - term interval trading is recommended, and long positions can be taken at low prices for contracts during the dry season [3]. Polysilicon Market Analysis - On November 4, 2025, the main contract 2601 of polysilicon futures declined, opening at 56,000 yuan/ton and closing at 53,715 yuan/ton, a 3.91% decrease from the previous trading day. The position of the main contract was 128,876 lots (143,844 lots the previous day), and the trading volume was 274,348 lots [4]. - The spot price of polysilicon weakened slightly. The inventory of polysilicon manufacturers and silicon wafers increased. The latest statistics show that the polysilicon inventory was 261,000 tons, a month - on - month increase of 1.16%, and the silicon wafer inventory was 18.93GW, a month - on - month increase of 2.49%. The weekly production of polysilicon was 28,200 tons, a month - on - month decrease of 4.41%, and the silicon wafer production was 14.24GW, a month - on - month decrease of 3.32%. In October, the polysilicon production was about 133,500 tons, an increase from September, exceeding market expectations. In November, production in the southwest region will be significantly reduced, and production is expected to decline [4][5]. Strategy - The supply - demand fundamentals of polysilicon are average, with significant inventory pressure. Both supply and demand may decrease starting in November. The futures market is affected by anti - involution policies and weak market reality. Policy implementation and the downward transmission of spot prices need to be continuously monitored. It is expected that relevant policies will be introduced this year. Without significant improvement in consumer demand, the upside potential of the futures market is limited, and it is expected to remain in a wide - range oscillation. Short - term interval trading is recommended, and the 12 - contract is expected to oscillate between 50,000 and 57,000 yuan/ton [7].

Report Industry Investment Rating - No industry investment rating provided in the reports. Core Viewpoints - The steel market has poor sentiment, and steel prices continue to decline. The iron ore market has weakening demand expectations, and prices are oscillating downward. The coking coal and coke market has average sentiment, and prices are oscillating downward. The动力煤 market has prices rising, with short - term upward momentum [1][3][5][7]. Summary by Commodity Steel Market Analysis - Futures and spot: The main contract of rebar closed at 3044 yuan/ton, and that of hot - rolled coil at 3265 yuan/ton. The overall spot steel trading was average, with the total national building materials trading volume at 9.27 tons. The trading volume in the East China region decreased significantly, while that in the North and South increased slightly [1]. - Supply and demand logic: The cost of rebar still provides support, and there is a possibility of more favorable policies. The profit of hot - rolled coil is better than that of rebar, so the output is relatively high. As steel mills have profits, the willingness to cut production is low. In November, the number of planned maintenance and production cuts by steel mills increases, and there are occasional environmental protection restrictions in the North [1]. Strategy - Unilateral: Oscillating weakly [2]. Iron Ore Market Analysis - Futures and spot: The iron ore futures price oscillated downward, and the prices of mainstream imported iron ore varieties declined slightly. Traders' enthusiasm for quoting was average, and steel mills' procurement was mainly for rigid demand. The total national main port iron ore trading volume was 146.1 tons, a 12.99% increase from the previous period; the forward - looking spot trading volume was 72.2 tons, a 22.57% decrease [3]. - Supply and demand logic: The arrival volume of iron ore this week increased significantly by 58.6%. The overall iron ore valuation is neutral, the supply - demand pattern is marginally weakening and generally loose, and the ore price is under downward pressure. However, supported by downstream restocking demand, there is no clear trend in the short term. With steel mills' loss - driven production cuts, the resilience of iron ore demand has weakened, and the price faces correction pressure [3]. Strategy - Unilateral: Oscillating weakly [4]. Coking Coal and Coke Market Analysis - Futures and spot: The black commodity sector oscillated weakly, and the closing prices of coking coal and coke futures both declined slightly. The customs clearance volume of imported Mongolian coal continued to rise to a high level, and the trading atmosphere was average, with downstream players mainly in a wait - and - see mode [5]. - Logic and view: For coking coal, due to safety inspections, the supply in some producing areas has not fully recovered, and the overall output is low, with the supply shortage pressure not significantly alleviated. On the demand side, downstream procurement is mainly for rigid demand, but the expectation of a new round of coke price increases has risen, and the inventory - building willingness of some enterprises has increased. For coke, affected by the rising coal price, coke enterprises are still operating at a loss, and some have maintenance plans, so the supply has contracted to some extent. On the demand side, the price of finished steel has declined recently, and the profit of steel mills has shrunk significantly, but the market's expectation of rising raw material prices has increased, and the procurement plan has increased compared with before, providing some support for the coke price [6]. Strategy - Coking coal: Oscillating [6]. - Coke: Oscillating [6]. 动力煤 Market Analysis - Futures and spot: In the producing areas, the coal price is still strong. Affected by safety inspections, the supply is tight. Downstream procurement is active, and the inventory of coal mines is decreasing. Miners believe that due to safety inspections and heating demand, the supply - demand mismatch will continue, and the price is difficult to decline in the short term. At ports, affected by the rising upstream prices, the quoted prices are firm, but downstream procurement is mainly for rigid demand and is resistant to high - priced coal. Although railway transportation has increased and port inventory has accumulated, the accumulation rate is low. With the continuous price increase of upstream coal mines, the arrival cost has risen, so there is a shortage of low - priced coal resources, and the price will continue to rise in the short term. In the import market, the price is also strong, and the price difference between domestic and imported coal is still large, so imported coal still has an advantage [7]. - Demand and logic: Affected by the situation in the producing areas, the price will oscillate strongly in the short term. In the long - term, the supply is still in a loose pattern, but with the approaching of the winter heating season, attention should be paid to the consumption and restocking of non - power coal [7]. Strategy - No strategy provided [7].

Report Industry Investment Rating - The trend strength of synthetic rubber is -1, indicating a bearish outlook. The取值 range of trend strength is [-2, 2], with -2 being the most bearish and 2 being the most bullish [3]. Report's Core View - The domestic butadiene market continues to decline. With ample supply, downstream support is limited, and the short - term market expectation is bearish. The short - and medium - term fundamentals of butadiene are downward, and the spot price center is gradually moving down. The cost reduction of butadiene drives down the dynamic valuation range of cis - butadiene rubber. Under the background of a neutral fundamental pattern of cis - butadiene rubber itself, the futures price reflects the expectation of price - profit contraction. With weak macro - driving and weak industrial chain fundamentals, cis - butadiene rubber is in a weak operation. Attention should be paid to whether the supply - demand pattern of cis - butadiene rubber will improve in November [2][3]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 1. Fundamental Tracking - **Futures Market**: The closing price of the 12 - contract of cis - butadiene rubber decreased by 225 yuan/ton to 10,360 yuan/ton. The trading volume increased by 31,566 hands to 149,850 hands, the open interest decreased by 3,695 hands to 37,796 hands, and the trading volume increased by 150,980 ten - thousand yuan to 782,908 ten - thousand yuan [1]. - **Spread Data**: The basis of Shandong cis - butadiene minus the futures main contract increased by 125 to 340, the monthly spread of BR11 - BR12 increased by 30 to 65. The prices of North China, East China, and South China cis - butadiene (private) decreased by 200 - 250 yuan/ton [1]. - **Spot Market**: The market price of Shandong cis - butadiene (delivery product) decreased by 100 yuan/ton to 10,700 yuan/ton. The prices of Qilu styrene - butadiene rubber (models 1502 and 1712) decreased by 50 - 100 yuan/ton. The mainstream prices of butadiene in Jiangsu and Shandong decreased by 200 - 255 yuan/ton [1]. - **Fundamentals**: The operating rate of cis - butadiene remained unchanged at 67.2943%. The theoretical full cost of cis - butadiene decreased by 309 yuan/ton to 9,916 yuan/ton, and the profit decreased by 191 yuan/ton to 584 yuan/ton [1]. 2. Industry News - **Butadiene Market**: The domestic butadiene market continues to decline. Due to ample supply, the support from downstream demand is limited. The short - term market expectation is bearish. The delivery price in Shandong's Luzhong area is about 7,090 - 7,300 yuan/ton, and the ex - tank self - pick - up price in East China is about 6,900 - 7,100 yuan/ton [2]. - **Butadiene Inventory**: As of October 29, the latest inventory of butadiene in East China ports is about 32,000 tons, an increase of 7,400 tons compared to the previous period. The inventory in sample ports has significantly increased due to the arrival of imported ships and the accumulation of some trade inventories. Merchants expect the import volume in November to remain ample [2][3]. - **Market Outlook**: The short - term weakness of butadiene drives down the dynamic valuation range of cis - butadiene rubber. The short - and medium - term fundamentals of butadiene are downward, and the spot price center is gradually moving down. The cost reduction of butadiene leads to an obvious expansion of the processing profit of cis - butadiene rubber. Under the background of a neutral fundamental pattern of cis - butadiene rubber itself, the futures price reflects the expectation of price - profit contraction. With weak macro - driving and weak industrial chain fundamentals, cis - butadiene rubber is in a weak operation. Attention should be paid to whether the supply - demand pattern of cis - butadiene rubber will improve in November [3].

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core View of the Report The short - term supply - demand pattern of lithium carbonate is favorable due to continued inventory depletion, consumption exceeding expectations, and slower - than - expected resumption of production at previously shut - down mines, providing some support to the market. However, attention should be paid to consumption and inventory inflection points. If consumption weakens and mine production resumes, the inventory may shift from depletion to accumulation, causing the market to decline [4]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs Market Analysis - On October 30, 2025, the lithium carbonate main contract 2601 opened at 83,120 yuan/ton and closed at 83,400 yuan/ton, with a 1.19% change in the closing price compared to the previous day's settlement price. The trading volume was 829,117 lots, and the open interest was 532,871 lots (506,882 lots the previous day). The current basis was - 3,780 yuan/ton, and the lithium carbonate warehouse receipts were 27,641 lots, a change of 116 lots from the previous day [2]. - According to SMM data, the price of battery - grade lithium carbonate was 78,200 - 81,800 yuan/ton, a change of 850 yuan/ton from the previous day; the price of industrial - grade lithium carbonate was 77,300 - 78,300 yuan/ton, also a change of 850 yuan/ton. The price of 6% lithium concentrate was 985 US dollars/ton, a change of 30 US dollars/ton from the previous day. The downstream material factory's operating rate is rising, and demand supports spot transactions. New production lines have been put into operation at both the spodumene and salt - lake ends, and the total lithium carbonate production in October is expected to have growth potential. The power market (new energy vehicles) and the energy - storage market are both booming [2]. - On the afternoon of October 30, the auction of Albemarle spodumene concentrate ended. The auction item was 16,400 dry tons of 5.21% spodumene concentrate from Wodgina, with an actual transaction price of 7,058 yuan/ton (tax - included, self - pick - up from Zhenjiang Port) [2]. Inventory Situation - According to the latest weekly statistics, the weekly production decreased by 228 tons to 21,080 tons. The production from spodumene and mica decreased slightly, while the production from salt - lakes and recycling increased slightly. The weekly inventory decreased by 3,008 tons to 127,358 tons. The inventory of smelters and downstream decreased, while the inventory in the intermediate links increased slightly. Recent consumption has strongly supported inventory depletion [3]. Strategy - Short - term: It is advisable to wait and see. Pay attention to inventory and consumption inflection points and choose the opportunity to sell hedging at high prices. It is expected that the willingness of upstream to hedge will increase when the price reaches 85,000 yuan/ton [4]. - For cross - period, cross - variety, spot - futures, and options, there are no relevant strategies provided [5].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating The report does not explicitly mention an overall industry investment rating. However, it provides mid - term outlooks for each energy and chemical product, mainly including "oscillation", "oscillation - slightly stronger", "oscillation - slightly weaker", etc. For example, the mid - term outlooks for most products like crude oil, asphalt, high - sulfur fuel oil, etc. are "oscillation" [7][8][9]. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Geopolitical factors such as the Russia - US situation and the US - India trade agreement have led to a rebound in crude oil prices. The short - term rhythm of crude oil is determined by geopolitics, while the medium - term supply - demand surplus pattern remains unchanged [1]. - With the rebound of crude oil and the increase of chemical coal prices, the chemical industry has also started to rebound. There are minor disruptions in the supply of some chemical products, but the overall pattern has not changed significantly [2]. - For different energy and chemical products, their prices are affected by various factors such as geopolitical risks, supply - demand relationships, and cost changes, showing different trends of oscillation, rise, or fall [7][8][9]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Market Conditions and Views - **Crude Oil**: Geopolitical risks have increased, and Russian oil exports are facing new challenges. The US has imposed sanctions on Russian oil companies, and EIA data shows a small reduction in US crude oil and refined product inventories last week. The downward trend of crude oil prices may be delayed, and the spread between domestic and foreign markets is expected to widen [7]. - **Asphalt**: The futures price has broken through the 3200 pressure level. OPEC+ production increase, Saudi Arabia's export price adjustment, and other factors have led to a rebound in asphalt prices. However, the spot price has continued to decline, and the inventory pressure is still large [8]. - **High - Sulfur Fuel Oil**: Tensions between the US and Venezuela have intensified, driving up the futures price. Although there are some negative factors, the market is mainly affected by geopolitical upgrades [9]. - **Low - Sulfur Fuel Oil**: It follows the oscillation of crude oil prices. It is facing multiple negative factors such as a decline in shipping demand and substitution by other fuels, but its current valuation is low [10]. - **PX**: Low prices have attracted market buying interest, and the short - term support has been strengthened under the improvement of supply - demand conditions [11]. - **PTA**: Under supply - demand pressure, the spot processing fee and basis have weakened significantly [12]. - **Short - Fiber**: Downstream consumers tend to buy on rising prices, and the sustainability of increased trading volume needs to be observed [20]. - **Bottle - Chip**: It follows the rise of polyester raw materials [21]. - **Propylene**: The price difference with PP continues to fluctuate in the range of 500 - 550, and PL oscillates [3]. - **PP**: The rebound of oil prices and minor support from maintenance lead to oscillation [28]. - **Plastic**: The rebound of oil prices and increased downstream trading volume result in oscillation [27]. - **Styrene**: It oscillates upward with the rebound of crude oil [16]. - **PVC**: It oscillates at a low valuation with weak expectations [31]. - **Caustic Soda**: The spot price is stable, and the futures market oscillates [31]. 3.2 Variety Data Monitoring 3.2.1 Energy and Chemical Daily Index Monitoring - **Inter - period Spread**: Different products have different inter - period spread values and changes. For example, the M1 - M2 spread of Brent is 0.34 with a change of 0.05, and the 1 - 5 month spread of PX is - 24 with a change of 6 [33]. - **Basis and Warehouse Receipts**: Each product has corresponding basis values, changes, and warehouse receipt quantities. For instance, the basis of asphalt is 81 with a change of - 102, and the number of warehouse receipts is 13040 [34]. - **Inter - variety Spread**: There are also different inter - variety spread values and changes. For example, the 1 - month PP - 3MA spread is - 164 with a change of 57 [35]. 3.2.2 Chemical Basis and Spread Monitoring The report mentions various chemical products such as methanol, urea, styrene, etc., but does not provide specific data analysis in the given text. It only lists the names of these products [36][49][61]. 3.3 Commodity Index - **Comprehensive Index**: The comprehensive index, specialty index, and sector index of commodities are presented. The commodity 20 index is 2531.94 with a decline of 0.48%, the industrial products index is 2204.41 with an increase of 0.87%, and the energy index on October 22, 2025, has a daily increase of 2.01% [279][281].
