Report Summary 1. Industry Investment Rating No industry investment rating is provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoint The report analyzes multiple petrochemical products, suggesting that the polyolefin category is weak while the aromatic hydrocarbon category is strong. Overall, most products have a bearish medium - term outlook, with varying short - term trends. The report provides logical analyses and technical tracking for each product, along with corresponding trading strategies [1]. 3. Summary by Product (1) Crude Oil - **Logic**: Overseas macro - path is unclear, with potential macro - risks. OPEC+ is accelerating production increase in the medium - term, and there is a risk of US demand falling short of expectations in the short - term. There is a high possibility of a new Iran nuclear deal. - **Technical Tracking**: Mid - term and short - term downward structures on the daily and hourly levels respectively. Consider today's price increase as a rebound on reduced positions, with short - term pressure at 475. - **Strategy**: Hold short positions on the hourly cycle [1][2]. (2) Styrene (EB) - **Logic**: Low inventory, but supply is expected to increase due to early resumption of previously shut - down plants. Cost support is weak, and downstream demand has limited growth. - **Technical Tracking**: Short - term downward structure on the hourly level. Today's price decline on increased positions. Short - term pressure at 7345. - **Strategy**: Hold short positions on the hourly cycle, with the stop - profit reference moved down to 7345 [5]. (3) PX - **Logic**: PX plants are in maintenance, with low operating rates and good short - term fundamentals. However, the cost factor may dominate the market after the decline in crude oil prices. - **Technical Tracking**: Short - term upward structure on the hourly level. Today's intraday oscillation. Short - term support refers to the low on May 13. - **Strategy**: Wait for a short - selling opportunity after the support is broken [9]. (4) PTA - **Logic**: Supply - side plant operating rates are increasing, but there are concentrated maintenance plans in the second quarter. Demand - side polyester operating rates are strong. However, the cost factor may dominate the market after the decline in crude oil prices. - **Technical Tracking**: Short - term upward structure on the hourly level. Today's intraday oscillation. Short - term support refers to the low on May 13. - **Strategy**: Wait for a short - selling opportunity after the support is broken [13]. (5) PP - **Logic**: Supply - side operating rates are stable, but new production capacity is expected to come on stream in June. Domestic demand is in the off - season, and downstream demand support is insufficient. - **Technical Tracking**: Short - term downward structure on the hourly level. Today's intraday oscillation with significant position increases, indicating strong downward momentum. - **Strategy**: Hold short positions on the hourly cycle, with short - term pressure and stop - profit referring to the high on May 21 [17]. (6) Methanol - **Logic**: Domestic operating rates have decreased slightly due to plant maintenance, but overseas operating rates are increasing, and imports are expected to rise in June. Demand is basically flat year - on - year, and the market is under pressure. - **Technical Tracking**: Downward structure on the hourly level. Today's intraday oscillation, with price increases on reduced positions and decreases on increased positions. - **Strategy**: Hold short positions on the hourly cycle, with the stop - profit reference at the high on May 22 [18]. (7) Rubber - **Logic**: Demand is weak, with high inventories of terminal automobiles and tires. There is no expectation of export demand recovery, and the EU has launched an anti - dumping investigation. Domestic inventories are accumulating against the season. - **Technical Tracking**: Mid - term downward structure on the daily level and short - term oscillatory structure on the hourly level. Today's price decline on increased positions. The upper pressure of the oscillation range refers to the high on April 8. - **Strategy**: Adopt a short - selling strategy at the upper edge of the oscillation range on the hourly cycle [21]. (8) PVC - **Logic**: Real - estate data in April is still poor, and downstream demand is difficult to improve. Plant maintenance is ending, and supply is expected to increase. - **Technical Tracking**: Mid - term and short - term downward structures on the daily and hourly levels respectively. Today's intraday oscillation. Short - term pressure at 4980. - **Strategy**: Look for short - selling opportunities after a reversal pattern on the hourly cycle [24]. (9) Ethylene Glycol (EG) - **Logic**: Supply - side operating rates have decreased slightly, and arrivals are increasing. Demand - side polyester operating rates remain high. - **Technical Tracking**: Mid - term downward structure on the daily level and short - term upward structure on the hourly level. Today's intraday oscillation. Short - term support at 4315. - **Strategy**: Observe on the hourly cycle and hold short positions on the 15 - minute cycle, with the stop - loss at 4455 [25]. (10) Plastic - **Technical Tracking**: Mid - term and short - term downward structures on the daily and hourly levels respectively. Today's intraday oscillation. Short - term pressure at 7120. - **Strategy**: Hold short positions on the hourly cycle, with the stop - profit moved down to 7120 [27]. (11) Synthetic Rubber (BR) - **Logic**: In June, plants are expected to resume production after maintenance, leading to a potential increase in butadiene supply. Demand is weak due to high inventories of terminal automobiles and tires. - **Technical Tracking**: Mid - term and short - term downward structures on the daily and hourly levels respectively. Today's long - negative candlestick. The upper pressure refers to 12120. - **Strategy**: Hold short positions on the hourly cycle [29].

Report Summary 1. Investment Rating No investment rating information is provided in the report. 2. Core View The pulp market is currently facing challenges with high port inventories, weak downstream demand, and a shift from peak to off - peak season. Although the domestic consumption is currently poor, due to the large basis, the pulp price is expected to show a low - level oscillating trend [36]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1走势回顾：4月纸浆震荡走弱 - In April, the pulp price continued the downward trend from March, and the basis expanded to 995 yuan/ton due to the relatively smaller decline in spot prices [8]. 3.2供应端分析：去库进程中断 - The domestic pulp spot price significantly declined in April. The Shandong Yinxing spot price dropped by 100 yuan compared to the end of March, and the Shandong Yingwu price dropped by 260 yuan. The adjustment of broad - leaf pulp was more obvious, and the price difference between needle - leaf and broad - leaf pulp widened to 1950 yuan [12]. - The import quotation of pulp was adjusted. The Arauco Company in Chile kept the price of coniferous pulp Yinxing at 825 US dollars/ton, and the price of broad - leaf pulp Mingxing increased by 20 US dollars/ton to 630 US dollars/ton [13]. - In March 2025, China's pulp import volume was 3.249 million tons, and the cumulative import volume from January to March was 9.639 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 5.0%. The import of bleached coniferous pulp in March was 798,000 tons, a month - on - month decrease of 0.1% and a year - on - year decrease of 6.5% [15]. - The domestic pulp inventory decreased rapidly in the futures market, with a total inventory of 323,937 tons, a decrease of 51,286 tons from the previous month. As of April 18, 2025, the inventory at major Chinese pulp ports was 2.069 million tons, an increase of 55,000 tons from the previous period [17]. - In March 2025, the inventory of bleached coniferous pulp in Europe was 245,900 tons, a month - on - month decrease of 10,700 tons and a year - on - year increase of 24,700 tons. The inventory days were 27 days, the same as the previous month and an increase of 3 days year - on - year [21]. 3.3需求端分析：需求维持弱势 - In March, the year - on - year growth rate of social consumer goods retail was 5.9%, a significant increase of 1.9 percentage points from the previous month. The nominal growth rate of social consumer goods retail in the first quarter was 5.0%, a 1.1 - percentage - point increase from the fourth quarter of last year. In March, China's export amount was 313.91 billion yuan, higher than the average of the past five years and a year - on - year increase of 12.4% [27]. - From January to March 2025, the cumulative output of machine - made paper and cardboard was 38.19 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 5.1%. The output in March was 14.55 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 5.1%. However, the industry's profit continued to decline and recently fell into losses [28]. - The previous price increase of downstream paper products has ended. Currently, due to weak consumption, price increases are difficult, and there may be pressure in the later stage. This week, the price of offset paper dropped by 48 yuan/ton, the price of coated paper dropped by 92 yuan/ton, and the price of white cardboard dropped by 31 yuan/ton [32]. 3.4逻辑与展望：震荡筑底 - The inventory reduction was not smooth in March, and the port inventory is still at a historical high of over 2 million tons. Downstream demand has shifted from peak to off - peak season in April, with no bright spots in paper mill operations. Since February this year, the price difference between coniferous pulp brands and between coniferous and broad - leaf pulp has been widening. Weak demand and expectations have led to a downward trend in pulp prices, but the high basis provides some support [36].

Report Summary 1) Report Industry Investment Rating - The investment rating for the styrene industry is short - term bearish, with a trend strength of -2, indicating the most bearish view [1]. 2) Core View of the Report - Styrene is following the decline of crude oil due to the continued release of macro - risks. The negative feedback in the styrene market has just begun, and attention should be paid to the opportunity of compressing profits in the far - month contracts. The weak reality of pure benzene remains unresolved, with short - term downward drivers [1][2][3]. 3) Summary by Relevant Catalogs Fundamental Tracking - Styrene futures prices (EB2505, EB2506, EB2507) and spot prices all declined. The basis, spreads between different contracts, trading volume, and open interest also showed decreases. The number of styrene warehouse receipts decreased significantly from 2363 to 0 [1]. Spot News - Macro - risks are continuing to be released, and styrene is following the decline of crude oil [2]. Pure Benzene Situation - The weak situation of pure benzene persists, with short - term downward drivers. Overseas, although the blending of oil has restarted, the overall valuation has been re - structured due to the rapid decline in oil prices, and the pressure on absolute price decline in the overseas market has not been fully released. Domestically, downstream demand is lackluster. Different downstream products of pure benzene have different performances, with some showing better开工 and profit recently [3]. Styrene Situation - The negative feedback in the styrene market has just started. EPS has begun to reduce production and prices to relieve inventory pressure. PS and ABS factories are expected to reduce production after the poor home appliance demand affects actual orders. Although there is an expectation of significant inventory reduction in April, downstream raw material inventories are already sufficient, and there is a possibility that styrene will follow the decline of pure benzene. Attention should be paid to the opportunity of compressing profits in the far - month contracts [3].
