当前，反内卷已成为自上而下的政策共识，资本市场对中游行业投资机会的关注度逐步提升。化工行业作为典型中游周期板块，其供需基本面、配置价值及 投资逻辑备受市场关注。近日，国投瑞银基金经理汤龑围绕反内卷政策导向、化工行业供需逻辑、配置时点、基金操作策略及下半年市场展望等核心问题展 开深入解读。 国投瑞银基金经理 汤龑 问题一：当前反内卷政策为何将重点聚焦中游行业，而非上游？其核心逻辑是什么？ 汤龑表示，反内卷政策的核心目标是解决产业链产能过剩、低价新增等问题，相关问题在中游行业表现尤为突出，从两大关键维度可明确政策聚焦中游的必 然性：一是产能利用率差异。上游经供给侧改革后提升至80%左右，显著优于中下游的70%；二是从利润增速看，上游行业（如有色金属、非金属矿采选） 保持正增长且盈利处于历史高位，而中下游行业盈利承压。因此，反内卷政策重点必然聚焦中游行业。 政策层面，当前官媒已密集发声，光伏、汽车、快递等行业政策陆续出台，反内卷已形成自上而下的政策共识，仅尚未完全转化为资本市场共识。且中游行 业对反内卷政策反应更为积极，自然成为政策重点支持及受益的核心领域。 问题二：反内卷背景下，化工行业有望充分受益的逻辑是什么？ ...

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the document Core Viewpoints - The fundamentals show that the comprehensive profit of enterprises has declined, the valuation pressure has decreased, the maintenance volume is low, and the production is at a historical high. In the short term, multiple new devices will be tested. On the downstream side, domestic operations have improved. Regarding exports, the anti - dumping tax rate in India has been determined, and exports are expected to weaken after implementation. The cost of calcium carbide has continued to rebound, while caustic soda has declined, leading to stronger overall valuation support. In the medium term, the industry is continuously suppressed by the significant increase in production capacity and the continuous decline in real - estate demand, and the industry pattern has deteriorated. It is necessary to rely on export growth or the implementation of policies to clear old devices to consume the excess domestic production capacity. Overall, given the current situation of strong supply and weak demand in China, with the weakening export outlook, even if the downstream has improved recently, it is still difficult to change the pattern of oversupply. The fundamentals are poor. In the short term, there will be a small rebound due to stronger valuation support, improved domestic demand, and a better commodity atmosphere. In the medium term, pay attention to short - selling opportunities on rallies [11] Summary by Directory 1. Weekly Assessment and Strategy Recommendation - **Cost and Profit**: The price of Wuhai calcium carbide is reported at 2,600 yuan/ton, a week - on - week increase of 200 yuan/ton; the price of Shandong calcium carbide is reported at 2,840 yuan/ton, a week - on - week increase of 60 yuan/ton; the price of medium - grade semi - coke in Shaanxi is 680 yuan/ton, a week - on - week increase of 20 yuan/ton. In terms of profit, the comprehensive profit of chlor - alkali integration has decreased, while the profit of ethylene - based production has increased slightly. Currently, the valuation support is neutral [11] - **Supply**: The PVC capacity utilization rate is 77%, a month - on - month decrease of 3%. Among them, the utilization rate of calcium carbide - based production is 76.9%, a month - on - month decrease of 2.5%; the utilization rate of ethylene - based production is 77.1%, a month - on - month decrease of 4.2%. Last week, the supply - side load decreased mainly due to the reduced loads of enterprises such as Shaanxi Beiyuan, Gansu Jinchuan, Zhongtai, Henan Yuhang, and Haohua. The load is expected to pick up slightly next week. The overall maintenance volume in September is expected to decline, and multiple devices are expected to be commissioned and put into production, further increasing the supply pressure [11] - **Demand**: Regarding exports, the final anti - dumping tax rate ruling result in India has been announced, and China's tax rate is at a significant disadvantage compared to other countries. Exports are expected to decline after implementation. The operations of the three major downstream industries continued to improve last week. The load of the pipe industry is 39.1%, a month - on - month increase of 1.5%; the load of the film industry is 76.9%, remaining flat month - on - month; the load of the profile industry is 39.4%, a month - on - month increase of 0.2%. The overall downstream load is 49.2%, a month - on - month increase of 1.7%. The overall downstream operations have stabilized and improved. Last week, the pre - sales volume of PVC was 756,000 tons, a week - on - week increase of 67,000 tons [11] - **Inventory**: Last week, the in - factory inventory was 306,000 tons, a week - on - week decrease of 4,000 tons; the social inventory was 954,000 tons, a week - on - week increase of 19,000 tons; the overall inventory was 1.26 million tons, a week - on - week increase of 16,000 tons; the number of warehouse receipts continued to rise.

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Views - Methanol: The trading logic is the transmission of port pressure to the inland. There is seasonal stocking demand and incremental stocking from the new Lianhong device in the inland, but the port will cause continuous reverse flow impact. The current price is benchmarked against the inland price, and the inland behavior is crucial. Xingxing is expected to start operation in early September, but inventory is still accumulating. Reverse flow can relieve port pressure but will affect inland valuation. Currently, the valuation and inventory are average, and the driving force is weak. It's necessary to wait before bottom - fishing, considering import variables such as India's purchase from Iran and unplanned maintenance [2]. - Polyethylene: The inventory of the two major oil companies is neutral year - on - year. Upstream two - oil and coal - chemical industries are destocking, social inventory is flat, and downstream raw material and finished - product inventories are neutral. The overall inventory is neutral. The 09 basis is about - 110 in North China and - 50 in East China. The overseas markets in Europe, America, and Southeast Asia are stable. The import profit is around - 200 with no further increase for now. The non - standard HD injection price is stable, other price differences are fluctuating, and LD is weakening. The maintenance in September is flat compared to the previous month, and the domestic linear production has decreased recently. Attention should be paid to the LL - HD conversion and US quotes. The pressure from new devices in 2025 is significant, and the commissioning of new devices should be monitored [3]. - Polypropylene: The upstream two - oil and mid - stream inventories are destocking. In terms of valuation, the basis is - 60, the non - standard price difference is neutral, and the import profit is around - 700. Exports have been performing well this year. The non - standard price difference is neutral. The European and American markets are stable. The PDH profit is around - 400, propylene is fluctuating, and the powder production start - up rate is stable. The drawing production scheduling is neutral. The subsequent supply is expected to increase slightly month - on - month. The current downstream orders are average, and the raw material and finished - product inventories are neutral. Under the background of over - capacity, the pressure on 01 is expected to be moderately excessive. If exports continue to increase or there are many PDH device maintenance, the supply pressure can be alleviated to a neutral level [3]. - PVC: The basis is maintained at 01 - 270, and the factory - pickup basis is - 480. The downstream start - up rate is seasonally weakening, and the willingness to hold goods at low prices is strong. The mid - upstream inventory is continuously accumulating. The northwest devices have seasonal maintenance in summer, and the load center is between the spring maintenance and the high production in Q1. In Q4, attention should be paid to the commissioning and export sustainability. The recent near - end export orders have slightly declined. The coal sentiment is positive, the semi - coke cost is stable, and the profit of calcium carbide is under pressure due to PVC maintenance; the FOB counter - offer for caustic soda exports is 380. Attention should be paid to whether subsequent export orders can support the high price of caustic soda. The PVC comprehensive profit is - 100. Currently, the static inventory contradiction is accumulating slowly, the cost is stable, the downstream performance is mediocre, and the macro - environment is neutral. Attention should be paid to exports, coal prices, commercial housing sales, terminal orders, and start - up rates [3]. 3.

Summary of Key Points from the Conference Call Industry or Company Involved - The discussion primarily revolves around the **Chinese economy** and its **capital market** dynamics, with a focus on the implications of globalization, industrial capacity, and real estate market trends. Core Points and Arguments 1. **External Challenges to the Chinese Economy** The Chinese economy faces significant external challenges, including overcapacity in industrial production, necessitating deeper integration into globalization to address these issues rather than relying solely on domestic demand stimulation [2][4][5] 2. **Real Estate Market Constraints** Urbanization is slowing down, and population decline is limiting growth in real estate demand. Stabilizing the real estate market requires attracting global demand and aligning with the industrialization needs of developing countries [2][7][9] 3. **Stimulating Consumption** Enhancing the consumption capacity of the middle and lower-income groups is essential for stimulating demand. The automotive industry, despite having high efficiency, faces barriers due to de-globalization, which, if removed, could enhance brand value and income for workers [2][11] 4. **Globalization as a Solution** China’s push for globalization and aiding developing countries in industrialization could reshape international political and economic orders, addressing overcapacity issues and enhancing China's global economic standing [2][12] 5. **Market Confidence and Financial Reform** Current capital market trends are driven by a recovery in confidence in the Chinese economy, benefits from financial reforms, and adjustments in the Sino-American strategic landscape. Investor confidence in the Chinese economy and competition with the U.S. is on the rise [2][15][29] 6. **Valuation and Market Dynamics** A-shares are currently valued at historical median levels, with no signs of bubble risk. The market capitalization of A-shares is disproportionately low compared to China's GDP, indicating potential for growth [2][22] 7. **Investment Opportunities** The capital market is expected to evolve through two phases: valuation-driven and fundamental-driven. Key sectors to watch include defense-related industries, technology sectors, and companies with global competitiveness in the new energy vehicle space [2][17][18] 8. **Investor Sentiment** Despite market fluctuations, investor sentiment remains stable, with no systemic risk perceived. The shift in bond market strategies indicates a potential influx of capital into the stock market [2][23][25] 9. **Impact of External Funds on Currency and Markets** The depreciation of the U.S. dollar and the undervaluation of the Chinese yuan present opportunities for foreign investors to enter the Chinese capital market, potentially leading to increased capital inflows [2][27][28] Other Important but Possibly Overlooked Content 1. **Long-term Market Trends** The current financial market is in a positive development phase, with no significant changes expected in the supportive macroeconomic and policy environment [2][16][29] 2. **Strategic Adjustments in Sino-American Relations** The proactive approach in Sino-American relations, particularly in military and economic strategies, is influencing overall market risk preferences and investor behavior [2][14][15] 3. **Potential for Manufacturing Expansion** Chinese manufacturing leaders are exploring opportunities to expand globally, leveraging their advanced production capabilities to form partnerships with international firms [2][21][20]
