The market trading atmosphere changed little. Traders sold at discounted prices, and most spot prices declined slightly. Downstream buyers were mostly on the sidelines [6] - The load of previously restarted plants increased slowly, and the weekly supply decreased. There were no new maintenance plans this week, so the weekly supply might increase month-on-month [6] - The peak demand season was ending, follow-up orders were slow, and most factories had already stocked up. Downstream sentiment was bearish, and purchasing enthusiasm weakened [6] - Crude oil prices fell again due to the easing of geopolitical risks. There was pressure to accumulate inventory in the fourth quarter and the first quarter of next year, which put pressure on prices. The cost support for plastics and chemicals was hard to find, and combined with the weak fundamentals, the price center declined weakly [6] Industry News - On November 27, 2025, the inventory level of major producers was 650,000 tons, a decrease of 5,000 tons (-0.76%) from the previous working day.

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the document Core Views - For crude oil, although the geopolitical premium has dissipated and OPEC's production increase is minimal with supply not yet surging, short - term oil prices should not be overly bearish. A range - trading strategy of buying low and selling high is maintained, but it's advisable to wait and see for now to verify OPEC's export price - support intention [2]. - For methanol, with the potential bullish factors from Iranian plant shutdowns materializing, the market has stopped falling and stabilized. However, high supply will limit further upside, and the market is expected to turn to a sideways adjustment after the bullish factors are exhausted [3]. - For urea, the price is expected to gradually emerge from the bottom range. With supply remaining high and demand improving, the downside is limited, and it's recommended to consider buying on dips at low prices [5][7]. - For rubber, a bullish short - term trading approach is suggested, and partial positions can be established for the hedging strategy of buying RU2601 and selling RU2609 [8]. - For PVC, the domestic supply - demand situation is weak. Although the valuation has declined to a low level, it's still difficult to support the current supply - demand imbalance. Medium - term short - selling opportunities are worth attention [11]. - For pure benzene and styrene, the supply of styrene is under pressure, but the BZN spread has room for upward repair. The port inventory of styrene is high, and the price may stop falling periodically [15]. - For polyethylene, the PE valuation has limited downside, but high - level warehouse receipts suppress the market. With the arrival of the off - season, the long - term contradiction has shifted, and it's advisable to short the LL1 - 5 spread at high prices [18]. - For polypropylene, in a context of weak supply and demand with high inventory pressure, the market may be supported when the supply - surplus situation on the cost side changes in the first quarter of next year [20]. - For PX, it is expected to see a slight inventory build - up in November. The valuation is at a neutral level, and there is a risk of valuation correction [22]. - For PTA, with the stabilization and repair of processing fees, unexpected maintenance is expected to decrease. The load may remain high in the short term, but there is a risk of PXN valuation correction [24]. - For ethylene glycol, the supply - demand outlook is weak. The inventory build - up may slow down in the short term, but it's recommended to short on rallies in the medium term [27].

Currently, South America is in the sowing and growing stage. On the demand side, US soybean crushing is strong, while exports are still in a game, depending on China's non - commercial procurement volume in the later stage. In general, the global supply - demand situation is improving marginally but still remains loose [7]. - Trading Strategy: US soybeans are expected to be in a state of oscillation; the domestic market is also expected to be oscillatory in the short - term, and the medium - term trend depends on the progress of tariff policies and the output in the producing areas [7]. Corn - Market Performance: Corn futures prices are running strongly, and corn spot prices continue to rise [7]. - Fundamentals: Weather factors have postponed the supply. Currently, the national corn channel inventory is at a low level, and there is a need for inventory building. The deep - processing profit is good, the demand is strong, and the acquisition intention is relatively high. The short - term supply - demand tightness has led to a rebound in spot prices. However, the arrival of new corn in Northeast China is approaching. The new crop is expected to increase in production, and the cost of corn has decreased significantly, which suppresses the long - term price expectation. Attention should be paid to weather and policy changes [7]. - Trading Strategy: Due to the short - term supply - demand mismatch, the futures price is running strongly. Attention should be paid to selling - hedging opportunities [7]. Edible Oils - Market Performance: The Malaysian palm oil market rose yesterday [7]. - Fundamentals: On the supply side, the output in the producing areas is high. MPOA estimates that the output from November 1 - 20 increased by 3.2% month - on - month.

Overall, the near - term Malaysian palm oil inventory continues to accumulate, and the long - term inventory will decrease seasonally [7]. - Trading Strategy: Palm oil leads the decline in the edible oil market, and there are differences among varieties. Attention should be paid to the later output and biodiesel policies [7]. Sugar - Market Performance: The Zhengzhou sugar 01 contract closed at 5391 yuan/ton, a 0.02% increase. The basis between the Guangxi spot price and the Zhengzhou sugar 01 contract was 322 yuan/ton, and the estimated profit of imported Brazilian sugar after processing and customs clearance was 752 yuan/ton [7]. - Fundamentals: Internationally, the export situation of India in the later stage will affect the international trend. In the short - term, raw sugar is oscillating at a low level. In the long - term, the global production increase trend remains unchanged, and the 26/27 sugar - crushing season will continue to seek the bottom through oscillation. In China, new sugar is gradually coming onto the market. The expected increase in production in Guangxi has been significantly revised up, and the import pressure in October is prominent. The domestic pressure in the fourth quarter is relatively large, and the current decline has been realized and is coming to an end [7]. - Trading Strategy: In the futures market, it is recommended to go short at high levels; for options, it is recommended to sell call options [7].

Domestically, Zhengzhou cotton futures prices oscillated upward, and the Xinjiang basis decreased month - on - month. Currently, the increase in cotton prices supports textile enterprises to raise yarn prices [8]. - Trading Strategy: It is recommended to buy on dips and mainly adopt the strategy of buying in the range of 13,500 - 13,800 yuan/ton [8]. Eggs - Market Performance: Egg futures prices rebounded, and egg spot prices were stable [8]. - Fundamentals: The number of laying hens in production decreased, and the number of culled hens was at a high level, so the supply pressure decreased. Egg prices dropped to a low level, and traders' willingness to stock up increased, driving sales to pick up. However, the inventory in the circulation link increased. The stock - up demand has driven egg prices to be strong in the short - term, but the sustainability is expected to be limited [8]. - Trading Strategy: The stock - up demand boosts egg prices, and futures prices are expected to oscillate [8]. Pigs - Market Performance: Pig futures prices rebounded, while pig spot prices continued to decline [8]. - Fundamentals: The supply of pigs is still abundant. The demand is expected to increase seasonally, and the supply - demand pressure has eased compared with the previous period. However, as the Winter Solstice approaches, there may be a wave of

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - For crude oil, although the geopolitical premium has disappeared and OPEC's supply has not increased significantly, it is not advisable to be overly bearish on oil prices in the short - term. A range strategy of buying low and selling high is maintained, but it is recommended to wait and see for now[3]. - For methanol, the positive impact of Iranian plant shutdowns is being realized, but the near - term high - inventory pattern persists. The market is expected to bottom out gradually, but due to the rapid short - term rise, it is recommended to wait and see[4]. - For urea, the price is oscillating and rebounding at the bottom. With cost and export policy support, the downside space is limited. It is expected to oscillate and build a bottom, and it is advisable to consider buying on dips[6]. - For rubber, a bullish short - term strategy is currently recommended, with fast - in and fast - out operations. A partial position can be established for the hedging strategy of buying RU2601 and selling RU2609[9]. - For PVC, the industry has a situation of strong supply and weak demand. With low enterprise profits and high inventory, it is recommended to consider short - selling on rallies in the medium term[11][12]. - For pure benzene and styrene, the benzene - to - styrene price difference is at a low level and has room for upward repair. The port inventory of styrene is declining, and the price may stop falling temporarily[15]. - For polyethylene, the price is expected to remain in a low - level oscillation. The cost - side impact has shifted, and seasonal demand has started to pick up[18]. - For polypropylene, the market has a situation of weak supply and demand, with high inventory pressure.

There is a risk of valuation correction[22]. - For PTA, the supply is expected to stabilize, and the demand may maintain a high level in the short - term. However, the PX valuation has a correction risk, which may limit the upside space of PTA processing fees[24]. - For ethylene glycol, the domestic supply is expected to decline in December, and the inventory accumulation rate may slow down. It is recommended to consider short - selling on rallies in the medium term[27]. 3.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content 2. Core View of the Report - In the pure benzene market, with the peak of autumn maintenance in European and American refineries passing and the resumption of refinery operations, the most critical period for gasoline supply may have passed. The rhythmical arrival of pure benzene at ports increases the pressure, leading to a further rise in port inventories at the beginning of the week, which suppresses the performance of pure benzene processing fees. Downstream operations are still at a low level, with the operation rate of phenol rising, while those of aniline and adipic acid declining. Styrene is still in the maintenance period and is expected to resume operations at the end of the month [2]. - In the styrene market, port inventories did not continue to decline, and the arrival of goods increased rhythmically. Styrene is still in the low - operation maintenance stage, and the resumption plan has been postponed. Attention now shifts to the downstream. Currently, downstream operations are still at a low level. The operation rate of EPS, which has obvious seasonality, is expected to further decline at the end of the year, while those of ABS and PS are slightly rising from a low level, and there is still inventory pressure on PS and ABS [2]. 3.
