Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core View of the Report The report analyzes the market conditions of various energy and chemical products, indicating that most products are under downward pressure, with short - term macro - driving factors and long - term fundamental factors such as supply - demand imbalances and high inventory contributing to the bearish trend. Although some products have short - term technical rebounds, the overall downward trend remains unchanged [1][2][5]. Summary by Related Catalogs Crude Oil - **Logic**: Friday night's sharp decline was due to Trump's new tariff threat, with short - term macro - driving factors accelerating the downward movement. Fundamentally, OPEC+ production increase and the fourth - quarter demand off - season led to increased supply and decreased demand. Even if there is a technical repair, the amplitude may be limited [1][2]. - **Technical Analysis**: The daily - level shows a medium - term downward structure, and the hourly - level shows a short - term downward structure. The intraday oscillation on the day repaired the downward slope to some extent. The upper short - term pressure level is at 456. The strategy is to hold short positions [2]. Styrene (EB) - **Logic**: Short - term macro - driving factors put pressure on the market, but less than on crude oil. In late October, although there are many plant maintenance plans, new devices are also put into production. High supply remains difficult to decline significantly, and high inventory and low downstream start - up rates lead to a downward - driven fundamental situation [5]. - **Technical Analysis**: The hourly - level shows a short - term downward structure. The late - session position - reduction rebound on the day was a repair action, but the hourly - level downward trend remained unchanged. The upper short - term pressure level is at 6860. The strategy is to hold the remaining short positions at the hourly - level and pay attention to position transfer near the contract change [5]. Rubber - **Logic**: Short - term macro - driving factors put pressure on the market, but less than on crude oil. After the typhoon disturbance, the seasonal decline in tire start - up rates in the downstream demand side exceeded expectations, and rubber supply is likely to increase. High inventory pressure leads to a bearish driving force [7]. - **Technical Analysis**: The daily - level shows a medium - term downward structure, and the hourly - level shows a short - term downward structure. The intraday oscillation on the day continued the repair action, but the hourly - level downward trend remained unchanged. The upper short - term pressure level is at 15450. The strategy is to hold short positions at the hourly - level, with the stop - profit reference at 15450 [7]. Synthetic Rubber (BR) - **Logic**: The main driving factor is the cost - end butadiene. From October to December, although there are planned maintenance of Zhenhai Phase II devices, the output of new butadiene from Jilin Petrochemical and Yulong Petrochemical will be gradually released, increasing supply pressure. Short - term macro - driving factors also lead to a downward trend [9]. - **Technical Analysis**: The daily - level shows a medium - term downward structure, and the hourly - level shows a short - term downward structure. The late - session position - reduction rebound on the day was a repair action, but the downward structure remained unchanged. The upper short - term pressure level is at 11300. The strategy is to hold short positions at the hourly - level, with the stop - profit reference at 11300 [12]. PX - **Logic**: The supply - demand situation continues to weaken slightly, and the main driving factor is the cost - end crude oil [13]. - **Technical Analysis**: The hourly - level shows a short - term downward structure. The late - session position - reduction rebound on the day was a repair action, but the hourly - level downward trend remained unchanged. After the contract change, the upper short - term pressure level for the 01 contract is at 6460 - 6480. The strategy is to hold short positions at the hourly - level, with the stop - profit reference at 6460 - 6480 [16]. PTA - **Logic**: The supply - demand situation continues to weaken slightly, and the main driving factor is the cost - end crude oil [17]. - **Technical Analysis**: The hourly - level shows a short - term downward structure. The late - session position - reduction rebound on the day did not change the downward structure. The upper short - term pressure level is at 4530. The strategy is to hold short positions at the hourly - level established last night, with the stop - profit reference at 4530 [17]. PP - **Logic**: Short - term macro - driving factors bring some pressure. The high - supply pattern remains unchanged, and the downstream demand peak season has not led to significant inventory reduction. The supply - demand improvement expectation has not been fulfilled. More attention should be paid to the cost - end collapse logic due to the decline in crude oil prices [22]. - **Technical Analysis**: The hourly - level shows a short - term downward structure. The intraday oscillation on the day continued the downward structure, and the short - term pressure level moved down to 6740. After taking profit before the holiday, there is no good re - entry point, so continue to wait and see [22]. Methanol - **Logic**: Short - term macro - driving factors have some pressure. Currently, there is high inventory pressure at methanol ports. Attention should be paid to the seasonal decline in the start - up rate of Iranian methanol devices. After the weakening of macro - driving factors, it can be used as a long - position hedge. Unilateral trading still needs to pay attention to the time of production reduction of Iranian devices [24]. - **Technical Analysis**: The daily - level shows a medium - term downward structure, and the short - term shows a downward structure. The position - reduction rebound on the day did not break through the pressure and did not change the downward structure. The upper short - term pressure level is at 2350. The strategy is to cautiously hold the remaining short positions at the hourly - level, with the hourly - line 2350 as the final stop - profit level. For the hedging strategy, methanol can be used as a long - position allocation after breaking through the pressure [27]. PVC - **Logic**: Short - term macro - impacts are bearish, but the actual impact on PVC is not significant. The supply - demand situation remains weak. High - supply pressure persists, and both domestic demand and exports are under pressure due to the real - estate downturn and India's anti - dumping decision. Inventory has continuously increased to the highest level in the same period, with high - supply, weak - demand, and high - inventory pressure remaining [29]. - **Technical Analysis**: The daily - level shows a medium - term downward structure, and the hourly - level shows a short - term downward structure. The intraday oscillation on the day did not change the downward structure. The upper short - term pressure level is at 4800. The strategy is to hold short positions at the hourly - level [29]. Ethylene Glycol (EG) - **Logic**: Short - term macro - driving factors are bearish. The supply - demand situation has not improved, and supply pressure is increasing with capacity expansion. Short - term port inventory has started to accumulate, and the previous low - inventory support is gone [31]. - **Technical Analysis**: The daily - level shows a medium - term downward structure, and the hourly - level shows a downward structure. The late - session position - reduction rebound on the day was a repair action. The upper short - term pressure level is at 4135. The strategy is to hold short positions at the hourly - level [31]. Plastic - **Logic**: The supply - demand change is limited. Attention should be paid to the cost - end collapse logic due to the decline in crude oil prices [35]. - **Technical Analysis**: The daily - level shows a medium - term downward structure, and the hourly - level shows a downward structure. The intraday oscillation on the day did not change the downward structure. The upper short - term pressure level is at 7090. The strategy is to hold the remaining short positions at the hourly - level [35]. Soda Ash - **Logic**: The high - supply and high - inventory pattern has intensified. The demand side of glass is unlikely to improve significantly, and there is no substantial policy intervention on the supply side. The fundamental downward - driving force remains unchanged. Coupled with the return of the macro - downward driving force on Friday night, the downward pressure on the soda ash market continues [36]. - **Technical Analysis**: The hourly - level shows a downward structure. The intraday oscillation on the day did not change the downward structure, and the upper short - term pressure level moved down to 1260. The strategy is to hold the remaining short positions at the hourly - level [36]. Caustic Soda - **Logic**: Some devices in East and North China have maintenance plans, and the supply pressure is expected to ease. The non - aluminum downstream demand has resumed after the holiday, and the inventory pressure has been alleviated. Attention should be paid to the inventory - reduction rhythm of liquid caustic soda. The current situation is still weak, but the valuation is low, so it is not advisable to chase short positions [38]. - **Technical Analysis**: The hourly - level shows a downward structure. The intraday oscillation on the day did not change the downward structure, and the upper short - term pressure level is at 2490. After taking profit before the holiday, there is no good re - entry point, so temporarily wait and see [38].

Report Industry Investment Rating - The report maintains a bearish outlook on the energy and chemical sector, suggesting that investors hold existing short positions [1]. Core Viewpoints - The overall market in the energy and chemical sector is dominated by bears, with most varieties showing downward trends driven by both macro - factors and fundamental supply - demand imbalances. While some short - term technical repairs may occur, the downward pressure remains significant [1][2]. Summary by Variety Crude Oil - **Logic**: The sharp drop on Friday night was due to Trump's new tariff threat, with short - term trading driven by macro factors. Fundamentally, there is pressure from increased supply and decreased demand due to OPEC+ production increases and the fourth - quarter demand slump. Even if there is a technical repair, the amplitude may be limited [2]. - **Technical Analysis**: The daily - level shows a medium - term downward structure, and the hourly - level shows a short - term downward structure. The trading volume increased today, and the price continued to fall. The short - term resistance is at 465 - 473. The strategy is to hold short positions [2]. Styrene (EB) - **Logic**: Similar to crude oil, it is pressured by macro factors, but less affected. Despite some plant maintenance plans in late October, new plant launches will keep the high - supply situation. High inventory and low downstream demand also contribute to the downward - facing fundamentals [5]. - **Technical Analysis**: The hourly - level shows a short - term downward structure. Today, the price reached a new low with increased positions. The short - term resistance is at 6860. The strategy is to hold the remaining short positions and pay attention to contract roll - over [5]. Rubber - **Logic**: Macro factors accelerate the decline but are not the main driver. After the typhoon, the downstream tire industry's seasonal decline in demand is greater than expected, and supply is likely to increase, resulting in high inventory pressure [7]. - **Technical Analysis**: The daily - level shows a medium - term downward structure, and the hourly - level shows a downward structure. The price dropped to a new low today. The short - term resistance is at 15450. The strategy is to hold short positions with a stop - profit at 15450 [7]. Synthetic Rubber (BR) - **Logic**: In the short term, it is pressured by macro factors. The supply of butadiene, the raw material, is expected to increase, driving the price of synthetic rubber down. The short - term market is also affected by macro - downward drivers after Trump's tariff threat [11]. - **Technical Analysis**: The daily - level shows a medium - term downward structure, and the hourly - level shows a short - term downward structure. The price reached a new low with increased positions today. The short - term resistance is at 11300. The strategy is to hold short positions with a stop - profit at 11300 [13]. PX - **Logic**: The supply - demand situation continues to weaken slightly, mainly driven by the cost of crude oil [15]. - **Technical Analysis**: The hourly - level shows a short - term downward structure. The price reached a new low with increased positions today. The short - term resistance is at 6460 - 6480. The strategy is to hold short positions with a stop - profit at 6460 - 6480 [15]. PTA - **Logic**: The supply - demand situation continues to weaken slightly, mainly driven by the cost of crude oil [18]. - **Technical Analysis**: The hourly - level shows a short - term downward structure. The price reached a new low with increased positions today. The short - term resistance is at 4530. The strategy is to hold short positions with a stop - profit at 4530 [18]. PP - **Logic**: Short - term macro factors bring some pressure. The high - supply situation remains unchanged, and the expected improvement in supply - demand has not been realized. Attention should be paid to the cost - collapse logic due to the decline in crude oil prices [22]. - **Technical Analysis**: The hourly - level shows a short - term downward structure. The price reached a new low with increased positions today. The short - term resistance is at 6740. After taking profits before the holiday, there is no good entry point, so the strategy is to wait and see [22]. Methanol - **Logic**: Short - term macro factors have some pressure. There is still high inventory pressure at ports. Attention should be paid to the seasonal decline in the operation of Iranian methanol plants. It can be used as a long - pairing hedge after the macro - driving force weakens. Unilateral trading should focus on the time when Iranian plants reduce production [24]. - **Technical Analysis**: The daily - level shows a medium - term downward structure, and the short - term shows a downward structure. The price reached a new low with increased positions today. The short - term resistance is at 2350. The strategy is to hold the remaining short positions cautiously with a stop - profit at 2350. It can be used as a long - pairing after the price breaks through the resistance [24]. PVC - **Logic**: The short - term macro impact is negative but not significant. The supply - demand situation remains weak, with high supply, low demand, and high inventory. The domestic demand and exports are under pressure [27]. - **Technical Analysis**: The daily - level shows a medium - term downward structure, and the hourly - level shows a short - term downward structure. The price reached a new low with increased positions today. The short - term resistance is at 4800. The strategy is to hold short positions [27]. Ethylene Glycol (EG) - **Logic**: Affected by short - term macro factors, the supply - demand situation has not improved. The supply pressure is increasing with capacity expansion, and the port inventory is starting to accumulate. The previous low - inventory support is gone [29]. - **Technical Analysis**: The daily - level shows a medium - term downward structure, and the hourly - level shows a downward structure. The price reached a new low with increased positions today. The short - term resistance is at 4135. The strategy is to hold short positions [29]. Plastic - **Logic**: The supply - demand change is limited. Attention should be paid to the cost - collapse logic due to the decline in crude oil prices [31]. - **Technical Analysis**: The daily - level shows a medium - term downward structure, and the hourly - level shows a downward structure. The price reached a new low with increased positions today. The short - term resistance is at 7090. The strategy is to hold the remaining short positions [31]. Soda Ash - **Logic**: The high - supply and high - inventory situation is intensifying. The demand from the glass industry is unlikely to improve significantly, and there is no substantial policy intervention on the supply side. With the return of the macro - downward driver, the downward pressure on the soda ash market continues [35]. - **Technical Analysis**: The hourly - level shows a downward structure. The price reached a new low with increased positions today. The short - term resistance is at 1260. The strategy is to hold the remaining short positions [35]. Caustic Soda - **Logic**: Some plants in East and North China are expected to undergo maintenance, and the downstream non - aluminum demand will resume after the holiday, which may relieve the inventory pressure. However, the current valuation is low, and short - selling is not recommended [37]. - **Technical Analysis**: The hourly - level shows a downward structure. The price reached a new low with increased positions today. The short - term resistance is at 2490. After taking profits before the holiday, there is no good entry point, so the strategy is to wait and see [37].
