1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the report 2. Core View of the Report - For corn, the international corn price has an advantage due to the good initial growth condition in the US. In the domestic market, the cooling of imported corn auction transactions, strong selling intention of grain holders, increasing feed substitution of wheat, and weakening feed demand have led to a decline in corn prices. The corn futures price continued to fall this week, showing overall weakness [8]. - For corn starch, although the production loss of corn starch enterprises has reduced the supply pressure, the demand in the civilian and paper - making markets is poor, and the inventory has increased. Affected by the decline of corn prices, the starch futures price has also shown a weak oscillation recently [12]. - The strategy for both corn and corn starch is to focus on short - term trading [7][11]. 3.

Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided Core Viewpoints - For lead, due to no expected increase in lead concentrate imports, processing fees are likely to rise. Primary lead production is stable with a slight increase, while secondary lead production is at a relatively low level due to raw material shortages and high costs. As the demand gradually shifts from the off - season to the peak season, the drag on lead prices may ease. Overall, raw material shortages and peak - season expectations support lead prices, but high prices may limit the upside [1]. - For zinc, zinc smelters have sufficient raw material inventories, and zinc concentrate processing fees are rising. The tight supply of zinc concentrate is expected to improve, and smelter production and profits are improving. However, high zinc prices and weak downstream demand lead to limited upside for zinc prices, and attention should be paid to short - selling opportunities after the positive factors fade [1]. Summary by Related Catalogs Price and Market Data - **Lead**: On July 11, 2025, the average price of SMM1 lead ingots was 17,000 yuan/ton (unchanged from the previous day), the closing price of the Shanghai lead futures main contract was 17,230 yuan/ton (up 0.32% from the previous day), the basis was - 230 yuan/ton, and the trading volume of the active futures contract decreased by 6.39% to 30,897 lots, while the open interest increased by 0.52% to 52,534 lots [1]. - **Zinc**: On July 11, 2025, the average price of SMM1 zinc ingots was 22,330 yuan/ton (up 1.09% from the previous day), the closing price of the Shanghai zinc futures main contract was 22,385 yuan/ton (up 1.20% from the previous day), the basis was - 55 yuan/ton, and the trading volume of the active futures contract decreased by 5.21% to 146,456 lots, while the open interest decreased by 1.85% to 112,634 lots [1]. Industry News - **Lead**: An East - China secondary lead smelter is expected to increase production by about 3,500 tons compared to last month. A Central - China primary lead smelter resumed normal production after a weekend equipment failure. As of July 10, the total inventory of SMM lead ingots in five regions was 61,100 tons, an increase of 4,200 tons from July 3 and 3,200 tons from July 7 [1]. - **Zinc**: A North - China zinc mine plans to conduct a 10 - day maintenance in August, affecting nearly 1,000 metal tons of zinc concentrate. The recent tender result of a North - China zinc mine was 5,450 yuan/ton (including 20 - 80 sharing). As of July 10, the total inventory of SMM zinc ingots in seven regions was 90,300 tons, an increase of 7,200 tons from July 3 and 1,200 tons from July 7 [1]

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints - PX is in a unilateral volatile market, with a trend strength of 0. Suggest a positive spread arbitrage for the monthly spread and short PXN01 at high levels. The supply - demand pattern is tight, but PXN valuation is high and the trend is weak [1][7]. - PTA should focus on the production cut situation of filament factories. It is recommended to conduct a reverse spread arbitrage for the monthly spread and go long MEG while shorting PTA. The trend strength is 0. The basis has fallen to single - digits, and the supply will be marginally loose from mid - July, with the possibility of continuous inventory accumulation [1][7]. - MEG is in a low - inventory, unilateral volatile market, with a trend strength of 1. The cost - end coal price is strong, and it is recommended to conduct a positive spread arbitrage for the basis and monthly spread, and not to chase short on the unilateral valuation [1][7]. Summary by Directory Market Overview - **PX**: A 700,000 - ton PX unit in Southeast Asia is gradually resuming its load after a reduction in late June due to an olefin - end fault. Another 530,000 - ton PX unit in Southeast Asia stopped for maintenance in early July, 15 days ahead of schedule, and is expected to restart in mid - August, with a pure benzene production capacity of about 300,000 tons [3]. - **PTA**: In mainland China, the load of Yisheng Hainan and Yisheng Dalian PTA units has returned to normal, and the PTA load has reached 79.7% as of Thursday. The current operating rate is around 85.8%. A 1.5 - million - ton PTA unit in Taiwan, China has restarted after a maintenance that started in early June [3]. - **MEG**: From July 7th to July 13th, the arrival quantities at Zhangjiagang, Taicang, and Ningbo ports are about 31,000 tons, 37,000 tons, and 28,000 tons respectively, with a total planned arrival at major ports of about 96,000 tons. As of July 10th, the overall operating load of ethylene glycol in mainland China is 67.57% (a 1.06% increase from the previous period), and the operating load of ethylene glycol produced by the oxalic acid catalytic hydrogenation (syngas) method is 73.13% (a 3.79% increase from the previous period). Since June 1st, 2025, the ethylene glycol production capacity base in mainland China has been adjusted to 29.175 million tons, and the total production capacity of syngas - to - ethylene glycol is 10.96 million tons [5]. - **Polyester**: The load of polyester is in a fluctuating decline. As of Thursday this week, the polyester load in mainland China is around 88.9%. A 600,000 - ton polyester unit in Huzhou has restarted after a short - term maintenance. The sales of polyester filaments in Jiangsu and Zhejiang on the 10th were temporarily weak, with an average sales - to - production ratio of 50% - 60% by 3:30 pm. The sales of direct - spinning polyester staple fibers on the 10th improved moderately compared to the 9th, with an average sales - to - production ratio of 63% by 3:00 pm [5][6]. Trend Strength - PX trend strength: 0 [7]. - PTA trend strength: 0 [7]. - MEG trend strength: 1 [7].

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings - Methanol: ☆☆☆, indicating a relatively balanced short - term trend with limited operability on the market, suggesting a wait - and - see approach [1] - Urea: ☆☆☆, suggesting a relatively balanced short - term trend with limited operability on the market, suggesting a wait - and - see approach [1] - Polyolefins (including propylene and polyethylene): ☆☆☆, indicating a relatively balanced short - term trend with limited operability on the market, suggesting a wait - and - see approach [1] - Pure Benzene: ☆☆☆, suggesting a relatively balanced short - term trend with limited operability on the market, suggesting a wait - and - see approach [1] - Styrene: ☆☆☆, indicating a relatively balanced short - term trend with limited operability on the market, suggesting a wait - and - see approach [1] - Polyester (including PX, PTA, ethylene glycol, short - fiber, and bottle - chip): ☆☆☆, suggesting a relatively balanced short - term trend with limited operability on the market, suggesting a wait - and - see approach [1] - Chlor - alkali (including PVC and caustic soda): ☆☆☆, indicating a relatively balanced short - term trend with limited operability on the market, suggesting a wait - and - see approach [1] - Glass and Soda Ash: ☆☆☆, suggesting a relatively balanced short - term trend with limited operability on the market, suggesting a wait - and - see approach [1] 2. Core Views - The chemical market shows a mixed performance with different trends for each product. Some products are affected by supply - demand changes, seasonal factors, and policy expectations, while others are influenced by macro - market sentiment and cost factors [2][3][4] 3. Summary by Product Methanol - The methanol futures market rebounds. MTO device operation in Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions declines, import demand weakens, and port inventory accumulates. Some olefin failures in the northwest lead to inventory build - up of supporting methanol. There are many planned methanol device overhauls, which support the market, but demand is weak in the off - season, so the market is expected to fluctuate within a range [2] Urea - The urea futures market is strongly oscillating. Rainy weather boosts agricultural fertilizer demand, supply - demand improves marginally, and enterprise inventory decreases. Port inventory accumulates rapidly. The latest Indian tender price boosts market sentiment. In the short - term, the market is strongly oscillating, but later, agricultural demand will enter the off - season, and new policy guidance is awaited [3] Polyolefins - Polyolefin futures rise, but the increase is weaker than other chemicals due to weak fundamentals. The polyethylene market sentiment improves slightly, but there is limited upward momentum. Polypropylene standard products follow the futures price increase, but non - standard product demand is weak [4] Pure Benzene - The pure benzene market is strong due to high oil prices and improved spot trading. Port inventory accumulation slows down, and downstream purchasing improves. There is an expectation of seasonal improvement in the third - quarter mid - to - late stage, but pressure in the fourth quarter. It is recommended to operate based on seasonal supply - demand trends, conduct monthly spread band trading, and consider short - selling at high prices [6] Styrene - Styrene futures rise significantly, driven by the sharp increase in the price of general benzene. The cost increase improves market trading sentiment, and the futures price increase drives factories to raise prices, with good trading volume [7] Polyester - PX and PTA prices rise slightly, and the monthly spread is weak. PX load decreases, PTA load increases, and PTA supply - demand eases. Ethylene glycol inventory decreases, and the price is strong. Short - fiber and bottle - chip prices rise slightly with raw material prices. Short - fiber inventory may increase, and bottle - chip enterprises cut production [8] Chlor - alkali - PVC is strong due to real - estate rumors, but downstream orders are insufficient, and inventory accumulates. New production capacity is released, and domestic demand is weak. Caustic soda continues to rise, with reduced enterprise operation and inventory, but long - term supply pressure remains [9] Glass and Soda Ash - Glass futures rise significantly due to real - estate rumors and industry inventory reduction. Soda ash is strong in the macro - environment, but inventory pressure is high, and long - term demand is expected to decline [10]

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2. Core Viewpoints - For lead, raw material tightness and peak - season expectations support the lead price, with short - term prices expected to be range - bound and firm. However, high lead prices may limit downstream purchasing, capping the upside potential [1]. - For zinc, recent macro - positive sentiment and supply - side disruptions have led to a rebound in zinc prices. But the rebound suppresses downstream purchasing, causing inventory accumulation and limited upside. Opportunities to short may emerge after positive factors fade [1]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs Lead - **Prices and Trading Data**: SMM1 lead ingot average price rose 0.59% to 17,000 yuan/ton, and the futures main - contract closing price rose 0.09% to 17,175 yuan/ton. The trading volume of the active futures contract decreased 7.42% to 33,005 lots, while the open interest increased 1.25% to 52,261 lots. The LME 3 - month lead futures closing price (electronic) rose 0.71% to 2,058.5 dollars/ton, and the Shanghai - London lead price ratio decreased 0.62% to 8.34 [1]. - **Fundamentals**: There is no expected increase in lead concentrate imports, and processing fees are likely to rise. Primary lead production is stable with a slight increase. For secondary lead, rising scrap lead - acid battery prices, limited supplies, and hoarding by recyclers have led to some refineries reducing or halting production due to raw material shortages or cost - price inversions. Demand is shifting from the off - season to the peak season, which may reduce the drag on lead prices [1]. - **Industry News**: In June, the silver by - product output of primary lead smelters increased 1.3% month - on - month. In July, it may decline slightly due to regular maintenance. The additional tariff negotiation for the US REDDOG lead ore may end with both parties sharing the cost, and the ore will enter the domestic market by the end of the third quarter. Zhongse Co., Ltd.'s subsidiary plans to expand the production scale of the Baiyinnuoer lead - zinc mine from 990,000 tons/year to 1.65 million tons/year [1]. Zinc - **Prices and Trading Data**: SMM1 zinc ingot average price rose 0.55% to 22,090 yuan/ton, and the futures main - contract closing price rose 0.32% to 22,120 yuan/ton. The trading volume of the active futures contract decreased 2.53% to 154,513 lots, and the open interest decreased 3.46% to 114,762 lots. The LME 3 - month zinc futures closing price (electronic) rose 0.86% to 2,742.5 dollars/ton, and the Shanghai - London zinc price ratio decreased 0.54% to 8.07 [1]. - **Fundamentals**: Zinc smelters have sufficient raw material stocks, and zinc concentrate processing fees are rising. The tight supply of zinc concentrate has improved, reducing production constraints and cost support. Refinery profits and production enthusiasm have increased, with an obvious upward trend in output. Demand is weak, and downstream buyers mainly make purchases based on rigid needs [1]. - **Industry News**: In the second quarter of 2025, the Kipushi zinc mine in Congo (Kinshasa) produced 41,800 metal tons of zinc concentrate. In June, production was affected by capacity - bottleneck upgrades and low - grade ore processing. After the first - stage upgrade, the daily available time of the DMS system increased from 6 to 16 hours. The second - stage upgrade in August is expected to increase the annual processing capacity from 800,000 to 960,000 tons, and the DMS available time to 22 hours/day. The annual zinc production guidance remains at 180,000 - 240,000 tons [1].
