1. Report Industry Investment Ratings No industry investment ratings were provided in the reports. 2. Core Views of the Reports Methanol - The methanol futures market was volatile and slightly weaker, with the basis slightly weakening and overall trading volume being average. - In December, the port arrivals of methanol were still high, but due to gas restrictions and device failures in Iran, a large amount of production capacity was shut down, and the expectation of reduced imports in the far - month significantly increased. Although there was still inventory accumulation pressure at the port in December, the supply - demand balance sheet was expected to shift to inventory reduction in the first quarter of the next year. - In the inland areas, the transfer price in Inner Mongolia decreased month - on - month, mainly affected by high production and factory inventory accumulation. The supply was expected to remain stable due to the repair of enterprise profits from falling coal prices, and the demand from traditional downstream industries increased slightly, with new MTO capacity being put into operation. The inland supply - demand pattern was expected to be stable, and the price would fluctuate within a narrow range [3]. Polyolefins - The polyolefin market was characterized by high production in 2026 and weak current conditions. The market was short - sold, and in 2026, the market was expected to face both lower costs and compressed profits, with the price center moving further down. - For PP, supply increased while demand decreased, the valuation of marginal devices was still low, and inventory slightly decreased. For PE, both supply and demand were weak, and some full - density devices switched from LL to HD production, with the marginal supply of standard products decreasing [6]. Natural Rubber - On the supply side, the geopolitical tension between Thailand and Cambodia had not eased, affecting the local raw material supply in Thailand, and the domestic production areas were accelerating into the off - season, providing bottom support for rubber prices. - On the demand side, the resumption of work in some enterprises supported the overall capacity utilization rate, but due to increasing production and sales pressure, enterprises would maintain production control in the short term. - In the market, some agents replenished inventory moderately to meet annual targets, but it was the seasonal off - season for demand, and the actual market trading was mainly based on rigid demand. The market continued to operate weakly. The port inventory continued to accumulate, and the off - season demand limited the upward space for rubber prices. The rubber price was expected to fluctuate widely in the range of 15,000 - 15,500 [7]. Glass and Soda Ash - Soda ash: The spot price continued to weaken. The demand from the float glass end decreased significantly due to the cold repair of multiple production lines, and the photovoltaic end continued to develop. The supply was expected to increase with the trial production of Yuanxing's second - phase project, and the overall demand for soda ash was in a contraction pattern. The price was in a downward trend, and after a technical rebound in the recent period, a short - selling strategy after the rebound was recommended [9]. - Glass: The northern demand decreased significantly, and the mid - and downstream purchasers slowed down their procurement and focused on consuming their own inventory. Some northwest manufacturers had set winter - storage prices, and some mid - and downstream players started winter - storage. The southern region still had some rigid demand support, but in the long - term, the market was concerned about the sustainability of future demand. The high inventory in the trading and futures - cash sectors also pressured the spot price, and the futures market was expected to face further pressure [9]. PVC and Caustic Soda - Caustic soda: The supply - demand situation still faced some pressure. Although some regional enterprises reduced their inventory and some downstream buyers were more active, the inventory level was still high, and there was no obvious positive news in the short term. The price was expected to be weak in the next week, especially in the East China region where supply was expected to increase [10]. - PVC: The supply pressure remained this week, but the market rebounded due to the shutdown of overseas devices. The operating rate was expected to decline slightly next week. Both domestic and foreign demand were under pressure, and the demand in the off - season was weak. The cost support was expected to weaken, and the PVC market was expected to continue to fluctuate within a range [10]. Pure Benzene and Styrene - Pure benzene: The domestic petroleum benzene supply was stable, but the supply increased due to the restart of many hydro - benzene devices, and the port inventory was at a high level. The overall demand from downstream industries decreased slightly. In the short term, the supply - demand situation was weak, and the cost support from crude oil was limited. However, the spring maintenance plan was gradually released, and the price might be boosted in the short term but with limited upside potential. The BZ2603 was expected to fluctuate in the range of 5300 - 5600 [11]. - Styrene: The industry profit improved, and some maintenance devices restarted, increasing the overall supply. The downstream industry profit was compressed, and the terminal demand was weak. The inventory of styrene - benzene increased, but some East China factories had export transactions. The price was boosted by the short - term rebound of crude oil and the rise of PX, but there was an expectation of inventory accumulation around the Spring Festival, and the cost support was limited. The rebound space was expected to be limited [11]. Polyester Industry Chain - PX: In the short term, the supply was high supported by short - process production, and the maintenance plan might be postponed if the efficiency improved. The PXN spread widened significantly, and the processing fees of downstream PTA and polyester products were further compressed. The terminal demand was weakening, and the polyester industry was under pressure. The price might continue to be strong in the short term but could decline if the polyester industry reduced production substantially [12]. - PTA: The supply - demand situation was not under great pressure in November - December, but the processing fee was compressed. The price followed the raw material PX, and a short - selling strategy after the rebound was recommended, with a long - term low - buying strategy and a long - short spread strategy for TA5 - 9 [12]. - MEG: The high polyester operating rate provided some support, but the overseas supply reduction was offset by sufficient imports, and the port inventory was expected to accumulate. The price was expected to fluctuate at a low level, and a reverse spread strategy for EG5 - 9 and a short - selling strategy for EG2605 - C - 4100 were recommended [12]. - Short - fiber: The supply was high, and the demand was seasonally weak. The price followed the raw material, and a strategy of short - selling the processing fee was recommended [12]. - Bottle chips: The domestic supply was expected to increase, and the processing fee was expected to be compressed. A strategy similar to PTA was recommended, and the processing fee was expected to fluctuate in the range of 300 - 450 yuan/ton [12]. Crude Oil - The international crude oil price rebounded on Monday, driven by geopolitical factors such as the US seizure of a Venezuelan oil tanker and the mutual attacks on energy facilities between Russia and Ukraine. - After the US - Ukraine negotiation, although the "peace plan" draft was completed, the situation in the Gaza Strip was still complex, and the repeated process would affect the crude oil price. The price was expected to fluctuate in the range of 60 - 65 US dollars per barrel, and the geopolitical situation should be continuously monitored [13]. LPG - The LPG futures prices of different contracts increased to varying degrees. The port inventory decreased, and the downstream PDH operating rate increased slightly. - The market was affected by factors such as international prices and domestic supply - demand conditions, but no specific long - term trend prediction was provided in the report [16]. Urea - The urea futures market was weak, while the spot price was stable. The market mainly executed previous orders, and new orders were purchased cautiously, with a slight decline in trading volume. - India's new urea tender provided short - term support for the futures price. On the supply side, although the industry operating rate decreased slightly due to the shutdown of some gas - fired devices in Southwest and Inner Mongolia, the daily urea production remained at a high level of 19 - 20 million tons, and the supply pressure still existed. - On the demand side, agricultural demand was in the off - season, but the fertilizer reserve demand in Northeast and Guangdong provided some support, while industrial demand weakened marginally. The urea price was expected to fluctuate in the range of 1680 - 1730, and the device restart rhythm and downstream demand progress should be monitored [18]. 3.

Key Points on Cobalt Supply and Pricing - DRC's cobalt export quota policy and customs issues have led to tight domestic supply in China, with optimistic projections for cobalt prices to reach 500,000 RMB/ton in Q1 2026, although a drop below 400,000 RMB is unlikely [1][4] - If the actual arrival of cobalt raw materials is lower than expected, prices may rise again; if it meets expectations, major companies controlling supply could maintain high prices, with an annual average expected to stay above 500,000 RMB, potentially reaching 600,000 RMB [4][5] - The Indonesian nickel project is expected to partially offset DRC's export restrictions, contributing approximately 40,000 tons of cobalt supply in 2025, with less than 30,000 tons entering China [7] - Global cobalt supply is projected to be around 215,000 tons in 2026, with significant contributions from Indonesia and black powder recycling, while demand is expected to remain tight due to inventory depletion from previous years [8][9] Demand Dynamics - Global refined cobalt demand in 2025 is estimated at 220,000 tons, a 3% increase year-on-year, driven mainly by bone conduction technology and 3C electronics, while demand in the power battery sector is declining [10] - For 2026, cobalt consumption is expected to remain stable or slightly increase, estimated between 220,000 to 230,000 tons, primarily from the lithium cobalt oxide sector, although high cobalt prices may suppress demand in the ternary battery sector [11] Impact of Pricing on Applications - In ternary batteries, a 100,000 RMB increase in cobalt price raises costs by 7,000 to 10,000 RMB, while cobalt's impact on high-temperature alloys is minimal due to their higher technical content [12] - Cobalt's significant presence in lithium cobalt oxide (60%-70%) means that price increases can lead to substantial cost increases, but the cost per device in 3C products remains negligible [13] Policy and Market Implications - DRC's export quota policy aims to maintain a balance between supply and demand, challenging China's heavy reliance on DRC, prompting efforts to develop nickel-cobalt resources in Indonesia and explore new sources in Africa [15] - The Indonesian government is controlling nickel ore resources to prevent undervaluation, with potential new pricing formulas expected to be implemented in Q1 2026, which could significantly raise production costs [23][24] Future Outlook - The nickel market is expected to face a supply gap due to potential reductions in Indonesia's nickel ore quotas, which could lead to price increases above 20,000 USD/ton if implemented [21][22] - The overall sentiment is that supply-side disruptions will be more impactful than demand-side changes in the near term, with a focus on the implications of government policies on resource management [20][28] Conclusion - The cobalt and nickel industries are navigating complex supply chain challenges influenced by geopolitical policies, with significant implications for pricing and market dynamics. The focus remains on balancing supply constraints with growing demand in various sectors, particularly in the context of electric vehicles and advanced electronics.

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings - Propylene: ★☆☆ (One star, indicating a bullish/bearish bias with limited trading opportunities on the market) [1] - Plastic: ★☆☆ [1] - Polypropylene: ★☆☆ [1] - Pure Benzene: ☆☆☆ (White star, suggesting a relatively balanced short - term trend and poor trading opportunities) [1] - Styrene: ☆☆☆ [1] - PX: ☆☆☆ [1] - PTA: ☆☆☆ [1] - Ethylene Glycol: ☆☆☆ [1] - Short - fiber: ☆☆☆ [1] - Bottle Chips: ☆☆☆ [1] - Methanol: ★☆☆ [1] - Urea: ★☆☆ [1] - PVC: ★☆☆ [1] - Caustic Soda: ★☆☆ [1] - Soda Ash: ★☆☆ [1] - Glass: ★☆☆ [1] 2. Core Views - The overall chemical market shows a mixed trend, with some products facing downward pressure and some having potential for short - term strength or long - term improvement [2][3][5][6][7][8] 3. Summary of Each Section Olefins - Polyolefins - Propylene futures dropped significantly. Production enterprises faced inventory pressure and increased the incentive to sell at a discount. The demand was negatively affected by the increase in the number of shutdown or planned shutdown of polypropylene plants [2] - Plastic and polypropylene futures may enter an accelerated downward phase. The supply pressure of polyethylene increased due to high - load operation and slow inventory digestion, and the demand was weak. The cost support of polypropylene weakened, and the demand was relatively weak [2] Pure Benzene - Styrene - The price of pure benzene rebounded slightly from a low level. The import pressure decreased slightly, and the supply - demand pressure may ease. It is recommended to consider long - term positive spreads on dips [3] - Styrene futures showed a weak consolidation. The cost support was insufficient, the de - stocking slowed down, and the market was in a weak downward trend [3] Polyester - PX and PTA increased in positions and prices, and the basis weakened. PX is expected to be bullish in the medium - term, and PTA's processing margin is expected to recover [5] - Ethylene glycol rebounded and then weakened. Although the supply may shrink, the long - term pressure remains due to expected new production capacity [5] - Short - fiber's supply - demand seasonally weakened, and its long - term supply - demand pattern is relatively good. Bottle chips' demand faded, and the long - term pressure comes from over - capacity [5] Coal Chemicals - Methanol futures prices fell. The port continued to de - stock, and the short - term port market is expected to be strong [6] - Urea prices corrected slightly. The daily production decreased, and the demand was strong. The short - term price may fluctuate strongly within a range [6] Chlor - alkali - PVC prices dropped. The supply pressure eased, but the demand was low. It is expected to fluctuate with macro - sentiment in the short - term [7] - Caustic soda prices declined. The supply pressure was high, and the profit is expected to be compressed in the long - term [7] Soda Ash - Glass - Soda ash prices fell again. The supply pressure was high, and it is recommended to short on rebounds in the long - term [8] - Glass prices also declined again. The inventory pressure was large, and the demand was insufficient. It is advisable to wait and see [8]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The rating for the European container shipping route is "bearish" [5] 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - In 2026, the market's "loose supply - demand" tone remains unchanged, and the freight rate center faces downward pressure. The situation in the Red Sea is the key factor. If the current detour situation continues, the freight rate will show "seasonal wide - amplitude fluctuations"; if the Red Sea is fully reopened, the market will switch to the logic of "cost breakdown and re - balance", and the freight rate may quickly decline to the non - detour cost range (USD 1000 - 1200/FEU) [4] 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 European Economic Weak Recovery and Inventory Cycle Bottom - Seeking - European economy shows a weak recovery under policy support and domestic demand repair, providing basic support for container demand. However, the synchronous de - stocking cycle in Europe and the US since Q3 2025 will suppress short - term freight volume growth. The restocking demand is expected to start around Q4 2026 and drive demand recovery [1][20] - The seasonal rhythm of the European shipping line in 2025 was distorted by the detour. Whether the peak season in 2026 can return to normal highly depends on the Red Sea reopening process [1][22] 3.2 Supply Growth Slowdown and Narrowing Adjustment Space - The delivery growth rate of new container ships will further slow down in 2026, and the new supply pressure in the market will be systematically alleviated. However, the overall capacity of the European line has become saturated, entering a stage of coexistence of structural balance and local bottlenecks [2][25] - Future capacity growth mainly depends on the optimization of existing inventory. The narrowing adjustment space caused by ship maintenance means that even a limited marginal increase may have a non - linear magnifying impact on the market balance and intensify the freight rate pressure in the off - season [2] 3.3 Red Sea Reopening Path and Rhythm Conjecture - The Red Sea reopening is the core variable determining the market trend in 2026, and its progress depends on geopolitical developments such as the Gaza cease - fire negotiation. If the reopening scope is limited, the market impact is controllable; if full and stable reopening is achieved, about 30% of the "locked" capacity will be released, instantly reversing the supply - demand relationship and causing huge downward pressure on freight rates [3][62] - The key observation windows are after the Spring Festival in 2026 and from September to October [3] 3.4 2026 Market Outlook - The European economy is expected to maintain a weak recovery, providing basic support for container transport demand. However, the core constraint lies in the inventory cycle adjustment, and the freight volume on the European line is difficult to be significantly boosted during the de - stocking period [66] - The pressure of capacity growth has eased marginally, but the structural problem of oversupply has not been fundamentally improved. The freight rate center still faces downward pressure compared with 2025. If the Red Sea remains closed, the market may show a downward trend in peak and off - season points; if the Red Sea reopens, the market will shift to a situation of significant oversupply, and the freight rate may break through the non - detour cost range [68] - The futures operating range of the European line in 2026 is expected to move down. It is recommended to maintain a bearish view on the overall market in 2026 while paying attention to structural trading opportunities in seasonal fluctuations [69]
