1. Report Industry Investment Ratings - No investment ratings are provided in the reports. 2. Core Views Polyolefins - PP shows a pattern of both supply and demand increasing, with reduced maintenance driving supply recovery and inventory slightly accumulating under new - capacity pressure. PE shows increased supply and decreased demand, with abundant imported goods and weakening demand except for agricultural film. It is recommended to gradually stop losses and reduce positions on previous short positions near the previous low, and the market is expected to have limited rebound space [2]. Methanol - In the inland market, Baofeng continues to purchase externally, and Jiutai has unexpected maintenance. Iranian gas restrictions are postponed, and shipments are accelerating, putting pressure on the port methanol market. The market is trading under the "weak reality" logic, and the 01 - contract inventory contradiction cannot be resolved. It is recommended to pay attention to the marginal device operation [4]. Crude Oil - The short - term crude oil market has no clear direction. The continuous sanctions on Russia by Europe and the United States and the attacks on Russian refineries by Ukrainian drones support the oil price, but the continuous production increase of OPEC+ and the record - high US crude oil production limit the rebound space. Brent oil is expected to fluctuate between 60 - 66 dollars per barrel [7]. Natural Rubber - Supply - side factors such as cold weather in Yunnan and continuous rainy season in southern Thailand may keep raw material prices high. Demand is weak, and the market is expected to enter a range - bound consolidation. If raw material supply is smooth, there may be further downward space; otherwise, the rubber price is expected to run between 15000 - 15500 [10]. Pure Benzene and Styrene - Pure benzene supply is expected to be relatively loose, with limited demand support and high port inventory. The short - term rebound space of BZ2603 is limited, and it is recommended to wait and see. Styrene's supply - demand situation has improved in November, but the rebound space is also limited, and attention should be paid to the pressure around 6600 - 6700 for EB12 [11]. Glass and Soda Ash - Soda ash has an overall surplus pattern, with high production and inventory transfer to the middle and lower reaches. It is recommended to wait and see in the short - term and look for opportunities to short on rebounds. Glass has short - term rigid demand support but faces long - term demand contraction pressure, and it is expected to be weak in the medium - term [12]. Polyester Industry Chain - PX supply remains at a relatively high level, and the short - term demand has support, but the rebound sustainability is insufficient. PTA is expected to be in a tight balance in November and loose in the future. MEG is expected to have inventory accumulation, and short - fiber and bottle - chip also face supply - demand challenges [13]. PVC and Caustic Soda - Caustic soda has supply - demand pressure, with weak demand from the alumina industry, and the price is expected to fluctuate weakly. PVC is in an oversupply situation, with weak demand and limited upward driving force [14]. 3.

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2. Report Core View - Nickel price is expected to remain in low - level oscillation due to high inventory and oversupply, and stainless steel is also expected to maintain a low - level oscillation pattern because of weak demand, high inventory, and a downward - moving cost center [1][3] 3. Summary by Related Catalogs Nickel Variety - **Market Analysis** - **Futures**: On November 17, 2025, the main contract of Shanghai nickel 2512 opened at 117,020 yuan/ton and closed at 116,750 yuan/ton, down 0.28% from the previous trading day. The trading volume was 102,806 (-15,915) lots, and the open interest was 107,341 (-4,908) lots. The price continued the downward trend after breaking through on November 14. The strengthening of the US dollar index and loose supply - demand relationship with rising inventory led to a clear short - term downward trend [1] - **Nickel Ore**: New tenders in the nickel ore market are about to be finalized, and the price is stable. In the Philippines, there are tenders for 1.4% nickel ore from Eramen and 1.25% nickel ore from Benguet. The downstream nickel - iron price is falling, and iron plants are cautious in purchasing nickel ore and want to lower the price. In Indonesia, the second - phase domestic trade benchmark price in November dropped by 0.12 - 0.2 dollars/wet ton, and the mainstream premium is +26, with the premium range mostly at +25 - 26 [1] - **Spot**: Jinchuan Group's Shanghai market sales price was 120,500 yuan/ton, down 1,200 yuan/ton from the previous trading day. The purchasing enthusiasm of downstream enterprises increased, and the spot premiums of refined nickel brands mostly rose. The premium of Jinchuan nickel was 3,900 yuan/ton, the premium of imported nickel was 500 yuan/ton, and the premium of nickel beans was 2,450 yuan/ton. The previous trading day's Shanghai nickel warehouse receipt volume was 35,826 (799) tons, and the LME nickel inventory was 257,694 (5,604) tons [2] - **Strategy** - Unilateral: Mainly use range - bound operations; no strategies for inter - period, cross - variety, spot - futures, and options [3] Stainless Steel Variety - **Market Analysis** - **Futures**: On November 17, 2025, the main contract of stainless steel 2601 opened at 12,920 yuan/ton and closed at 12,415 yuan/ton. The trading volume was 137,113 (+17,461) lots, and the open interest was 172,728 (-4,171) lots. The price fluctuated at a low level, hovering around the 5 - day and 10 - day moving averages, with the short - term moving average system intertwined and the direction unclear. Due to weak downstream demand, high inventory, and falling nickel prices, there was no sign of a price rebound [3] - **Spot**: The price continued to decline to a historical low, and the market inquiry heat increased. In the context of weak demand and falling raw material costs, steel mills were more willing to sell at low prices. The stainless steel price in Wuxi market was 12,700 (-50) yuan/ton, and in Foshan market was 12,750 (-50) yuan/ton. The 304/2B premium was 380 - 580 yuan/ton.

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The negative feedback of the recent decline in the steel market has ended, and short - term price increases are mainly due to short - sellers taking profits. Steel demand has entered the off - season, with high inventory pressure on hot - rolled coils. In the short term, prices are likely to continue weak and volatile, but there may be a marginal inflection point in demand with policy implementation and macro - environment improvement [2]. - For iron ore, although the supply has recovered and high inventory suppresses prices, the short - term increase in hot metal production supports demand. In the macro - vacuum period, prices will operate within a shock range [5]. - For the black sector, as the time approaches December, the positive impact of macro - expectations on sentiment and prices is expected to increase. It is more cost - effective to look for positions to rebound rather than short. The future price increase depends on the introduction and strength of stimulus policies [10][11]. - Industrial silicon is expected to show a pattern of "weak supply and demand", with short - term prices likely to be weak and volatile. Polysilicon is still fluctuating between reality and expectations, and prices are in a wide - range shock [15][17]. - For glass, due to the imbalance between supply and demand, high inventory, and weak demand, the short - term market will continue to be weak. For soda ash, with high supply and weak demand, prices will continue to oscillate at a low level [20][22].

The registered warehouse receipts increased by 6484 tons, and the main contract positions decreased by 23505 lots. In the spot market, prices in Lecong and Shanghai increased by 50 yuan/ton [1]. Strategy Viewpoints - Rebar shows a pattern of both supply and demand decline and continuous inventory reduction, with a neutral overall performance. Hot - rolled coils have weak terminal demand, and inventory is accumulating against the season. In the short term, prices are likely to be weak and volatile, but there may be an inflection point in demand later [2].

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings - No industry investment ratings are provided in the reports. 2. Core Views 2.1 Oils and Fats - Palm oil in Malaysia is expected to have a record - high production in 2025, pressuring the benchmark price. However, Indonesia's B85 policy provides support. Dalian palm oil futures may continue to rise in the short - term but could face resistance below 9000 yuan. For soybeans, the US soybean production cut in the USDA report was less than expected, causing CBOT soybeans to decline. In China, soybean oil inventory is at a high level, and downstream demand is weak, with a possible short - term correction for Dalian soybean oil [1]. 2.2 Corn and Corn Starch - Corn has a short - term supply - demand imbalance due to factors like farmers' reluctance to sell and transportation issues, leading to a price rebound. But considering the large supply during the new - season harvest, the upward movement is limited, and attention should be paid to the 2200 - 2220 pressure level [3]. 2.3 Sugar - India's sugar export in the 25/26 season may face short - term difficulties, and Brazil's supply is in a relaxed state. The raw sugar price is expected to fluctuate around 14 cents/pound. The domestic sugar market is likely to remain volatile next week [7][8]. 2.4 Cotton - The 11 - month USDA report is bearish for cotton. Globally, production has increased, and demand has only slightly risen, leading to an increase in ending inventory. In China, new cotton supply is high in the short - term, and downstream demand is weak, but some local products offer support. Short - term cotton prices may be under pressure [9]. 2.5 Meal - The USDA's November supply - demand balance sheet for soybeans met market expectations. There is a lack of substantial positive factors for US soybeans, and China's high soybean inventory and reserve rotation expectations suppress the market. Bean meal is expected to trade in a wide range [11]. 2.6 Eggs - The supply of eggs remains high due to stable laying - hen inventory, and demand is in a seasonal slump. Although the decline in egg prices has slowed, the market is expected to be weak and volatile this week [15]. 2.7 Pigs - The spot price of pigs is weak, but the market may strengthen tomorrow. The overall November pig - selling progress is slow, which may support prices. The market is in a range - bound pattern, with limited upside and downside in the short - term. A 3 - 7 reverse spread strategy can be continued [17]. 3. Summary by Industry 3.1 Oils and Fats - **Soybean Oil**: On November 14, the spot price in Jiangsu was 8590 yuan, up 0.35% from the previous day. The futures price of Y2601 was 8256 yuan, down 0.72%.

Report Industry Investment Ratings - Crude Oil: Cautiously bearish [2] - LPG: Cautiously bullish [2] - L: Bearish rebound [2] - PP: Bearish rebound [2] - PVC: Bearish consolidation [2] - PTA: Cautiously bullish [4] - Ethylene Glycol (MEG): Cautiously bearish [4] - Methanol: Cautiously bearish [4] - Urea: Bearish on rallies [4] - Natural Gas (LNG): Cautiously bullish [7] - Asphalt: Cautiously bearish [7] - Glass: Bearish consolidation [7] - Soda Ash: Bearish consolidation [7] Core Views - The oil market is facing supply - demand imbalances with OPEC+ expansion and the approaching consumption off - season, leading to downward pressure on oil prices. Other energy - chemical products are affected by factors such as cost, supply - demand, and inventory, showing different trends [2][11][17] Summary by Variety Crude Oil - **Market Performance**: On November 14, WTI rose 2.15%, Brent rose 2.19%, and SC rose 0.31%. The latest prices of WTI, Brent, and SC were $59.95/barrel, $64.39/barrel, and $458.9/barrel respectively [9][10] - **Basic Logic**: The off - season leads to supply surplus and accelerated global crude oil inventory accumulation, pressuring oil prices. Geopolitical factors such as the restart of Russia's Novorossiysk port and the uncertainty in South America also impact the market. OPEC and IEA predict an increase in global oil supply in the future, while demand growth is relatively limited. As of the week of November 7, US commercial crude oil inventory increased by 6.4 million barrels [11][12] - **Strategy**: Partially close previous short positions. Focus on the range of SC [450 - 470] [13] LPG - **Market Performance**: On November 14, the PG main contract closed at 4376 yuan/ton, up 1.70% [16] - **Basic Logic**: The price is anchored to the cost - end crude oil. Recently, due to geopolitical disturbances, crude oil has rebounded, but its upward space is limited. The supply of LPG has decreased, and the demand side shows certain resilience. The inventory of ports and factories has been decreasing [17] - **Strategy**: Buy put options. Focus on the range of PG [4300 - 4400] [18] L - **Market Performance**: The closing price of the L2601 contract was 6818 yuan/ton (+30) [21] - **Basic Logic**: The basis has been repaired, and the market has stabilized and rebounded. However, the supply at home and abroad remains loose, and the demand side lacks the motivation to replenish inventory. The medium - term decline risk of oil prices weakens the cost support [22] - **Strategy**: Reduce short positions in the short - term. Wait for rallies to go short in the long - term. Focus on the range of L [6800 - 6950] [22] PP - **Market Performance**: The closing price of the PP2601 contract was 6429 yuan/ton (-51) [25] - **Basic Logic**: The fundamentals are weak, following the cost - end. The upper - middle stream inventory is at a high level, and the demand support is insufficient. OPEC+ is still in the production - increasing cycle, and oil prices may continue to fall in the medium - term [26] - **Strategy**: Reduce short positions in the short - term. Wait for rallies to go short in the long - term. Focus on the range of PP [6350 - 6500] [26] PVC - **Market Performance**: The closing price of the V2601 contract was 4586 yuan/ton (+5) [29] - **Basic Logic**: The market is in a premium structure, and the warehouse receipts have reached a new high. The short - term macro - policy window period has passed, and the market has returned to weak fundamentals. Although the low valuation provides support, the downward space is limited [30] - **Strategy**: The industry should hedge at high prices. Be cautious about short - selling. Focus on the range of V [4500 - 4650] [30] PTA - **Market Performance**: The prices of TA05, TA11, and TA01 were 4762 yuan/ton, 4644 yuan/ton, and 4700 yuan/ton respectively [31] - **Basic Logic**: The processing fee is generally low. Some new device startups and increased maintenance efforts have alleviated the supply pressure. The downstream demand is relatively good but has a weakening trend. The cost - end PX has reduced its load both at home and abroad. There is an inventory accumulation expectation in November - December [32] - **Strategy**: Focus on the opportunity to expand the processing fee (long PTA, short PX). Focus on the range of TA [4680 - 4760] [33] MEG - **Market Performance**: The prices of EG05, EG11, and EG01 were 3922 yuan/ton, 3832 yuan/ton, and 4013 yuan/ton respectively [34] - **Basic Logic**: Domestic coal - based device maintenance has increased, and the start - up load has decreased. Overseas devices have slightly increased their loads. The downstream demand is relatively good but may weaken. The social inventory has slightly increased. The cost - end crude oil is under pressure, while coal prices are expected to rise [35] - **Strategy**: Look for opportunities to short on rallies. Focus on the range of EG [3880 - 3950] [36] Methanol - **Market Performance**: Not specifically mentioned [37] - **Basic Logic**: High inventory suppresses the rebound of spot prices. The supply pressure is large, and the demand performance is average. The cost support is weak and stable [39] - **Strategy**: Hold short positions carefully. Pay attention to the MA1 - 5 reverse spread [39] Urea - **Market Performance**: The prices of UR05, UR09, and UR01 were 1727 yuan/ton, 1748 yuan/ton, and 1652 yuan/ton respectively [42] - **Basic Logic**: The supply pressure is expected to increase, and the demand has slightly weakened. The domestic inventory is still at a high level, but the export has maintained a high growth rate since July. There are upper and lower limits for urea prices under the "export quota system" and "supply - guarantee and price - stability" background [43] - **Strategy**: Be vigilant against the risk of the market falling after rising. Look for opportunities to short on rallies. Focus on the range of UR [1635 - 1665] [44] LNG - **Market Performance**: On November 14, the NG main contract closed at $4.843/million British thermal units, up 2.09% [46] - **Basic Logic**: As the global temperature drops, the demand for natural gas for combustion and heating has increased, supporting gas prices. The domestic LNG retail profit has increased. The supply in some regions has increased, while the overall demand has slightly decreased. The US natural gas inventory has increased [47] - **Strategy**: Although gas prices are likely to rise, the upward space is limited. Focus on the range of NG [4.393 - 4.583] [48] Asphalt - **Market Performance**: On November 14, the BU main contract closed at 3037 yuan/ton, up 0.26% [50] - **Basic Logic**: The price is mainly anchored to the cost - end crude oil. As the geopolitical risk is released, the oil price has回调, reducing the cost support. The supply is expected to be relatively sufficient, and the demand has entered the off - season [51] - **Strategy**: Continue to hold short positions. Focus on the range of BU [2980 - 3080] [52] Glass - **Market Performance**: The closing price of the FG2601 contract was 1053 yuan/ton (-16) [55] - **Basic Logic**: The fundamentals are weak, and the market is looking for support downward. The daily melting volume remains stable, and the coal - based process is still profitable, so the supply is unlikely to decline further. The factory inventory is at a high level, and the demand support is insufficient [56] - **Strategy**: In the short - term, cold - repair provides support. In the long - term, the real estate demand is weak, and the market is likely to be short on rallies. Focus on the range of FG [1030 - 1080] [56] Soda Ash - **Market Performance**: The closing price of the SA2601 contract was 1239 yuan/ton (+25) [59] - **Basic Logic**: The increase in the daily melting volume of photovoltaic and device maintenance has led to a decline in the high - level warehouse receipts, and the market has stabilized and rebounded in the short - term. The factory inventory has slightly decreased but is still at a high level. The demand is mostly rigid, and the supply will remain loose in the long - term [60] - **Strategy**: The industry should sell and hedge at high prices. In the short - term, the technical aspect is bullish, and in the long - term, short on rallies. Focus on the range of SA [1180 - 1230] [60]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The fundamental driver of methanol is downward. In the short - term, methanol remains in a state of high domestic supply, while the MTO industry faces increased fundamental pressure, compressing profit margins and suppressing the upward space of methanol. Under inventory pressure, production profits are squeezed. With the weakening of macro - drivers and the weak industrial chain fundamentals, methanol has been operating weakly recently [4]. - As the processing profit of coal - to - methanol is gradually compressed, the pricing logic weight of the cost side of methanol has slightly increased. The cost center of coal - to - methanol is expected to gradually stabilize. In the future, a decline in inventory caused by production enterprises reducing their operating rates may support prices [4]. - The unilateral center of methanol oscillates downward, with the upper pressure of contract 01 at 2160 - 2170 yuan/ton and the lower support at 2000 - 2020 yuan/ton. For the 1 - 5 month spread, it is recommended to conduct reverse arbitrage at high levels. The spread between MA and PP is in an oscillating pattern [4]. 3.
