1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - For crude oil, although the geopolitical premium has disappeared and OPEC's production increase is minimal with supply not yet surging, short - term oil prices should not be overly bearish. Maintain a range strategy of buying low and selling high, but currently wait and see, and wait for OPEC's export decline when oil prices fall for verification [2]. - For methanol, the current valuation is low, and the situation will improve marginally next year. There is limited downside. With geopolitical expectations from Iran, there is feasibility to buy on dips [5]. - For urea, the current internal - external price difference has opened the import window, and with the expected improvement in production at the end of January, bearish expectations for the fundamentals are coming, so take profits on rallies [6]. - For rubber, adopt a neutral strategy, trade short - term, enter and exit quickly, and partially close the hedging position of buying RU2605 and selling RU2609 [11]. - For PVC, the comprehensive corporate profit is at a historically low level, but supply reduction is small, production is at a historical high, domestic demand is entering the off - season, and exports also face off - season pressure. With a strong supply and weak demand situation, short - term electricity prices support PVC, and in the medium term, adopt a strategy of shorting on rallies before substantial industry production cuts [13]. - For pure benzene and styrene, the non - integrated profit of styrene is moderately low with large upward repair space. The supply of pure benzene is still abundant, and styrene's port inventory is decreasing. One can go long on the non - integrated profit of styrene before the first quarter of next year [17]. - For polyethylene, OPEC+ plans to suspend production growth in Q1 2026, and the crude oil price may have bottomed. The spot price of polyethylene is rising, and the overall inventory is expected to decline from a high level. One can go long on the LL5 - 9 spread on dips [20]. - For polypropylene, the EIA monthly report predicts a slight decline in global oil inventories, and the supply surplus may ease. With no new capacity planned in H1 2026, the supply pressure is relieved. The disk price may bottom out when the supply surplus pattern changes in Q1 next year [23]. - For PX, the current load is high, and downstream PTA has many maintenance activities. It is expected to accumulate inventory slightly before the maintenance season. In the medium term, pay attention to opportunities to go long on dips [26]. - For PTA, the supply will maintain high - level maintenance in the short term, and demand is under pressure. It is expected to enter the inventory accumulation stage during the Spring Festival. In the medium term, pay attention to opportunities to go long on dips [29]. - For ethylene glycol, the overall load is still high, the import decline in January is limited, and the port inventory accumulation period will continue. In the medium term, it is expected to compress the valuation without further domestic production cuts [31]. 3.
