1. Report Industry Investment Rating The report does not provide an overall industry investment rating. It gives individual views on various energy and chemical products, mostly indicating a "volatile" outlook for each product. 2. Core Views - **Crude Oil**: Prices showed a slight rebound on Monday. WTI 11 - month contract closed up $0.59 to $59.49 per barrel, a 1.00% increase; Brent 12 - month contract closed up $0.59 to $63.32 per barrel, a 0.94% increase; SC2511 closed at 452.7 yuan per barrel, up 1.2 yuan per barrel, a 0.27% increase. With the cease - fire agreement in the Middle East and OPEC+ production increases, and current macro - risk disturbances, oil prices are expected to be mainly volatile [1]. - **Fuel Oil**: The main contracts of high - sulfur and low - sulfur fuel oil on the Shanghai Futures Exchange declined on Monday. The supply of low - sulfur fuel oil in Singapore is sufficient, while the high - sulfur fuel oil market is relatively strong. Under the pressure of new tariffs, the absolute prices of high - and low - sulfur fuel oil are expected to be volatile and weak in the short term [2]. - **Asphalt**: The main asphalt contract on the Shanghai Futures Exchange declined on Monday. There is still some construction rush expectation after the holiday, but the previous significant increase in asphalt production may suppress prices. Under tariff pressure, asphalt prices are expected to be volatile and weak in the short term, with a smaller decline than crude oil and fuel oil [2]. - **Polyester**: Polyester chain prices are weakly volatile. The average sales of polyester yarn in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are estimated to be less than 50%. Some MEG devices have maintenance and restart operations. With a high polyester start - up rate and limited room for further increase, and a loose supply pattern of TA and EG, prices will follow crude oil prices in the short term [2][4]. - **Rubber**: The prices of main rubber contracts on the Shanghai Futures Exchange declined on Monday. In September 2025, China's imports of natural and synthetic rubber increased year - on - year. With normal rubber tapping in major production areas, high tire inventory, and weak demand due to tariffs, rubber prices are expected to be weakly volatile [4][5]. - **Methanol**: Affected by US sanctions on Iranian shipping, the subsequent arrival volume of methanol may decline. Although the re - escalation of Sino - US trade friction has a negative impact on chemical product valuations, methanol may perform better than downstream olefin products. It is recommended to pay attention to the strategy of going long on methanol and short on polyolefins, as well as the positive spread strategy between months [5]. - **Polyolefins**: The prices of polyolefins are expected to be weak. The short - term production will remain high, and although there is still support for downstream orders in October, the marginal increase will gradually decline. The decline in crude oil prices due to the re - escalation of Sino - US trade friction also affects polyolefin prices [5][6]. - **PVC**: The prices of PVC in East, North, and South China markets showed a weak adjustment on Monday. Supply remains high, domestic demand slows down, and exports are affected by India's anti - dumping policy and the escalation of Sino - US trade friction. With high inventory pressure, PVC prices are expected to be volatile and weak [6]. 3. Summaries According to Related Catalogs 3.1 Research Views - **Crude Oil**: On Monday, oil prices rebounded slightly. The cease - fire agreement in the Middle East and OPEC+ production increases are the main influencing factors. OPEC+ data shows that Russia's oil production in September increased to 9.321 million barrels per day, still below the quota. OPEC+ aims to increase production by more than 2.7 million barrels per day this year, equivalent to about 2.5% of global oil demand. Crude oil prices are expected to be volatile [1]. - **Fuel Oil**: The main contracts of high - sulfur and low - sulfur fuel oil declined. The supply of low - sulfur fuel oil in Singapore is sufficient, while the high - sulfur market is relatively strong. Under tariff pressure, prices are expected to be volatile and weak in the short term [2]. - **Asphalt**: The main asphalt contract declined. There is construction rush expectation after the holiday, but previous production increases may suppress prices. Under tariff pressure, prices are expected to be volatile and weak with a smaller decline [2]. - **Polyester**: Polyester chain prices are weakly volatile. Sales of polyester yarn in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are low. Some MEG devices have maintenance and restart operations. With a high start - up rate and loose supply, prices follow crude oil prices [2][4]. - **Rubber**: Rubber contract prices declined. China's rubber imports increased in 2025. With normal tapping, high tire inventory, and weak demand due to tariffs, prices are expected to be weakly volatile [4][5]. - **Methanol**: Affected by US sanctions on Iranian shipping, arrival volume may decline. Although trade friction affects chemical product valuations, methanol may perform better than downstream olefins. Strategies such as long methanol and short polyolefins are recommended [5]. - **Polyolefins**: Prices are expected to be weak. Short - term production remains high, downstream order marginal increase declines, and crude oil price decline affects polyolefins [5][6]. - **PVC**: PVC market prices are weakly adjusted. Supply is high, demand slows down, and exports are affected. With high inventory, prices are expected to be volatile and weak [6]. 3.2 Daily Data Monitoring The report provides the basis price data of various energy and chemical products on October 13, 2025, including spot prices, futures prices, basis, basis rates, and the changes and historical quantiles of basis rates. It also explains the calculation methods and data sources of some prices [7]. 3.3 Market News - Trump first proposed to impose 100% tariffs on Chinese exports to the US, then said the "substantial tariff increase" might not be implemented, and the US vice - president signaled willingness to negotiate. The market's selling is restricted by the negotiation intention, and the short - term outlook depends on the outcome of trade negotiations [10]. - OPEC+ data shows that Russia's oil production in September increased to 9.321 million barrels per day, still below the quota. OPEC+ aims to increase production by more than 2.7 million barrels per day this year, equivalent to about 2.5% of global oil demand [10]. 3.4 Chart Analysis - **4.1 Main Contract Prices**: The report presents the historical closing price charts of main contracts of various energy and chemical products from 2021 - 2025, including crude oil, fuel oil, LPG, PTA, etc. [12][13][14] - **4.2 Main Contract Basis**: It shows the basis charts of main contracts of various products, such as crude oil, fuel oil, etc., and provides data on the basis between different benchmarks for some products [28][29][30] - **4.3 Inter - contract Spreads**: The report provides the spread charts between different contracts of various products, such as fuel oil, asphalt, PTA, etc. [44][45][46] - **4.4 Inter - product Spreads**: It presents the spread charts between different products, including crude oil internal and external spreads, fuel oil high - low sulfur spreads, etc. [59][60][61] - **4.5 Production Profits**: The report shows the production profit charts of some products, such as ethylene - based ethylene glycol and LLDPE [68][70][72] 3.5 Team Member Introduction - **Zhong Meiyan**: Assistant Director and Energy and Chemical Director of Everbright Futures Research Institute.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No specific industry investment rating was provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The threat of Trump's tariffs has a negative impact, but the marginal negative impact is weakening. The potential incremental stimulus policy can partially offset the negative impact of the tariff policy. In the short - to - medium term, the supply and demand of basic metals are expected to tighten, which supports the prices. One can continue to cautiously focus on the opportunities of low - buying and long - holding for copper, aluminum, and tin. When the copper - to - aluminum ratio returns above 4, one can pay special attention to the opportunity of aluminum ingot price increase. In the long term, there are still expectations of potential incremental stimulus policies in China, and the supply of copper, aluminum, and tin is still subject to disturbances, so the supply - demand situation is expected to tighten [2]. 3.

Report Information - Reported Industry: Soybean Meal [1] - Report Date: October 14, 2025 [2] - Research Team: Agricultural Products Research Team [4] - Researchers: Yu Lanlan, Lin Zhenlei, Wang Haifeng, Hong Chenliang, Liu Youran [4] 1. Report Investment Rating - No investment rating information provided in the report 2. Core Viewpoints - Change the previous bullish view to a sideways view. The near - term market focuses on the reality of high supply and high inventory of soybean meal. However, with the 23% import tariff on US soybeans, the depletion of soybean inventory at Chinese ports in the middle of the fourth quarter will support the futures market. Also, there is potential upside as US soybean yield may be further adjusted downwards, making it difficult to form a unilateral trend in the short - to - medium term [6] - Future attention points include when the US resumes report publication and the production adjustments in the report, the results of China - US trade negotiations, and whether Argentina's export policy will be liberalized again, which will affect the valuation of the 01 contract [6] 3.

Report Overview - Report Title: Commodity Weekly Report - Report Date: October 13, 2025 - Report Author: Hu Jingyi from Guotou Futures 1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the report 2. Core Viewpoints - The commodity market closed up 0.46% last week, with precious metals leading the gain at 2.47%, non - ferrous and black metals rising 1.93% and 1.41% respectively, while agricultural products and energy - chemical products fell 0.47% and 1.63% respectively. Due to the re - intensification of the Sino - US trade situation, the commodity market may be under pressure in the short term [2]. - The US government shutdown, economic data uncertainty, inflation resilience, dovish statements from Fed officials, and central bank gold purchases support precious metals, which may fluctuate strongly in the short term. Non - ferrous metals may be under pressure due to trade tensions despite supply disturbances. Black metals are likely to face pressure with weak demand and increasing external trade frictions. Energy prices may oscillate weakly due to inventory increases and geopolitical factors. Chemical products may be affected by trade frictions and oil price drops. Agricultural products may face supply shortages if the trade war persists [3][4]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Market Review - **Overall Market**: The commodity market rose 0.46% last week. Precious metals led the gain at 2.47%, non - ferrous and black metals rose 1.93% and 1.41% respectively, while agricultural products and energy - chemical products fell 0.47% and 1.63% respectively. The 20 - day average volatility of the commodity market increased significantly, and all sectors had net capital outflows [2]. - **Top Gainers and Losers**: Tin, copper, and coking coal led the gains with increases of 4.1%, 3.37%, and 3.11% respectively. Pigs, eggs, and crude oil had larger declines of 8.38%, 7.64%, and 3.71% respectively [2]. 3.2 Outlook for Different Sectors - **Precious Metals**: The losses from the US government shutdown, economic data uncertainty, inflation resilience, dovish Fed statements, and central bank gold purchases support precious metals. With the rising risk of the Sino - US trade war, the sector may oscillate strongly in the short term [3]. - **Non - Ferrous Metals**: Supply disturbances made the sector perform strongly during the holiday, but the re - intensification of the Sino - US trade situation led to large declines in previously strong varieties. Supply remains tight, but terminal consumption has slowed, and inventories are accumulating. The sector may be under pressure in the short term [3]. - **Black Metals**: During the long holiday, the apparent demand for rebar dropped significantly, production decreased slightly, and inventories increased sharply. With high - level molten iron, weakening steel mill profitability, and increasing external trade frictions, the sector may face pressure in the short term [3]. - **Energy**: International oil prices declined around the National Day holiday. The EIA report showed an unexpected increase in US crude oil inventories, and geopolitical factors may have a negative impact on oil prices. Oil prices may oscillate weakly in the short term, and attention should be paid to the escalation of the Russia - Ukraine conflict [4]. - **Chemical Products**: For building materials, trade friction may be unfavorable for PVC exports, and PVC may oscillate weakly. Polyester products may be affected by trade friction and oil price drops, facing cost collapse and weak demand [4]. - **Agricultural Products**: Possible US tariff increases may affect domestic soybean supplies in the first and second quarters of next year. If the trade war lasts, the overall supply may tighten in the first quarter of next year. Oils and fats may be under pressure due to the decline in crude oil prices and the uncertainty caused by the US government shutdown [4]. 3.3 Commodity Fund Overview - **Precious Metal ETFs**: Most gold ETFs had a weekly return of around 2.94% - 2.99%.
