1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The report does not explicitly mention the industry investment rating [1][2][3] 2. Core View of the Report - Short - term, the synthetic rubber market is slightly bullish with oscillations, while in the medium - term, it operates within the fundamental valuation range. The low - valuation of cis - butadiene rubber makes the market less willing to short. This is due to the long - term policy orientation of "anti - involution" and supply - side optimization supporting the overall commodity valuation, and the neutral fundamentals of the rubber and butadiene sectors. There are short - term speculative rallies at the lower end of the fundamental valuation, but limited upside in the medium - term due to lack of fundamental upward drivers [3] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Fundamental Tracking - **Futures Market**: The closing price of the cis - butadiene rubber main contract (09 contract) was 11,515 yuan/ton, a decrease of 20 yuan compared to the previous day. The trading volume was 41,370 lots, a decrease of 18,741 lots; the open interest was 25,625 lots, a decrease of 831 lots; and the trading volume was 237.957 million yuan, a decrease of 107.947 million yuan [1] - **Spread Data**: The basis of Shandong cis - butadiene rubber minus the futures main contract was 35 yuan, an increase of 20 yuan compared to the previous day; the monthly spread of BR08 - BR09 was 105 yuan, an increase of 175 yuan [1] - **Spot Market**: The price of North China private cis - butadiene rubber was 11,400 yuan/ton, a decrease of 20 yuan; the prices of East China and South China private cis - butadiene rubber remained unchanged at 11,550 yuan/ton; the market price of Shandong delivery - grade cis - butadiene rubber remained unchanged at 11,550 yuan/ton. The price of Qilu styrene - butadiene rubber (model 1502) remained unchanged at 12,050 yuan/ton, and the price of Qilu styrene - butadiene rubber (model 1712) was 11,000 yuan/ton, an increase of 50 yuan. The mainstream prices of butadiene in Jiangsu and Shandong remained unchanged at 9,300 yuan/ton and 9,375 yuan/ton respectively [1] - **Fundamentals**: The cis - butadiene rubber operating rate was 65.6381%, unchanged; the theoretical full cost was 12,182 yuan/ton, unchanged; and the profit was - 682 yuan/ton, unchanged [1] 3.2 Industry News - **Production**: This week, the output of high - cis cis - butadiene rubber was 27,300 tons, a decrease of 1,400 tons compared to last week, a month - on - month decrease of 5.93%. The capacity utilization rate was 68.17%, a month - on - month decrease of 4.29 percentage points. Qixiang Tengda and Maoming Petrochemical's cis - butadiene rubber plants were shut down for short - term maintenance this week. It is expected that Shandong Yihua and Qixiang Tengda's cis - butadiene rubber plants will restart next week, and the output of cis - butadiene rubber will increase [2] - **Inventory**: As of August 6, 2025 (week 32), the inventory of Chinese high - cis cis - butadiene rubber sample enterprises was 31,400 tons, an increase of 100 tons compared to the previous period, a month - on - month increase of 0.38%. Although some production plants were shut down for short - term maintenance this week, the inventory of sample production enterprises increased due to the wait - and - see attitude of downstream customers and slow spot transactions. The inventory of sample trading enterprises decreased slightly [2][3] 3.3 Trend Intensity - The trend intensity of synthetic rubber is 0, indicating a neutral outlook [3]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The fundamentals of synthetic rubber are supportive, and it operates within the valuation range. The short - term market is slightly bullish, while the medium - term remains within the fundamental valuation range [2][4]. - The price of butadiene is expected to be volatile in the short term with support at the bottom. In the long term, supply pressure is the main contradiction, and it is expected to enter a weak pattern after the macro - sentiment eases [5]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs 3.1 Synthetic Rubber Weekly Viewpoint 3.1.1 Supply - The output of high - cis butadiene rubber this week was 27,300 tons, a decrease of 1,400 tons compared to last week, a 5.93% month - on - month decrease, with a capacity utilization rate of 68.17%, a 4.29 - percentage - point month - on - month decline. Some plants such as Qixiang Tengda and Maoming Petrochemical carried out short - term maintenance. Next week, the plants of Shandong Yihua and Qixiang Tengda are expected to restart, and the output is expected to increase [4]. 3.1.2 Demand - In terms of rigid demand, the capacity utilization rate of semi - steel tires slightly decreased, while that of all - steel tires slightly increased. Next week, the capacity utilization rate of tire sample enterprises will vary. The capacity utilization rate of semi - steel tires may continue to decline slightly, while that of all - steel tires is expected to increase. In terms of substitution demand, the price difference between NR - BR main contracts is maintained at 700 - 900 yuan/ton, and the substitution demand remains high. Therefore, the overall demand for butadiene rubber maintains a high year - on - year growth rate [4]. 3.1.3 Inventory - As of August 6, 2025 (Week 32), the inventory of high - cis butadiene rubber sample enterprises in China was 31,400 tons, an increase of 100 tons compared to the previous period, a 0.38% month - on - month increase. Although some production plants carried out short - term maintenance this week, the downstream was waiting for price drops, and the price of arbitrage resources was relatively low, resulting in slow spot transactions. The inventory of sample production enterprises increased, while that of sample trading enterprises decreased slightly [4]. 3.1.4 Valuation and Viewpoint - In the short term, it is slightly bullish, and in the medium term, it operates within the fundamental valuation range. The current static valuation range of butadiene rubber futures is 11,200 - 11,700 yuan/ton, and the dynamic valuation is expected to rise slightly. The upper limit of the fundamental valuation is 11,600 - 11,700 yuan/ton, and the lower limit is 11,200 yuan/ton [4]. 3.1.5 Strategy - Unilateral: Bullish with upper pressure at 11,700 - 11,800 yuan/ton and lower support at 11,100 - 11,200 yuan/ton. - Inter - period: No relevant strategy. - Inter - variety: The price difference between NR - BR is expected to narrow in the short term [4]. 3.2 Butadiene Weekly Viewpoint 3.2.1 Supply - Some enterprises carried out plant maintenance this week, and the domestic butadiene supply decreased. The output was 102,500 tons, a decrease of 900 tons compared to the previous period, a 0.87% decline, with a capacity utilization rate of 69.76%, a 0.21% month - on - month decline [5]. 3.2.2 Demand - In the synthetic rubber sector, the operating rates of butadiene rubber and styrene - butadiene rubber remained high, and the demand for butadiene maintained a high year - on - year level. With the resumption of butadiene rubber plants, the rigid demand for butadiene is expected to increase. In the ABS sector, due to high inventory pressure, the demand for butadiene is expected to remain constant. In the SBS sector, the operating rate increased slightly, and the demand for butadiene remained stable [5]. 3.2.3 Inventory - From July 31 to August 6, 2025, the total inventory of domestic butadiene samples increased by 8.71% compared to last week. The inventory of sample enterprises decreased slightly by 1.50%, while the inventory of sample ports increased by 41.35% due to the arrival of imported vessels. As of August 6, the inventory at East China ports was about 14,700 tons, an increase of 4,300 tons compared to the previous period [5]. 3.2.4 Viewpoint - The price is expected to be volatile in the short term with support at the bottom. The overall arrival volume of butadiene is expected to be low, and the port price may remain resilient. In the long term, supply pressure is the main contradiction, and it is expected to enter a weak pattern after the macro - sentiment eases [5]. 3.3 Butadiene Fundamentals - Butadiene is currently in the stage of supply - demand pricing, with a low correlation with the raw material end [8]. - To match the expansion of downstream industries such as ABS, SBS, styrene - butadiene, and butadiene rubber, butadiene production capacity is continuously expanding, and the expansion speed and amplitude are slightly faster than those of downstream industries [10]. 3.4 Synthetic Rubber Fundamentals 3.4.1 Supply of Butadiene Rubber - Output: The output and operating rate data of butadiene rubber are presented, and the operating status and future plans of various enterprises' plants are detailed [34][35]. - Cost and profit: The daily theoretical production cost, profit, and gross profit margin data of butadiene rubber are provided [37][38][39]. - Import and export: The monthly import and export volume data of butadiene rubber are presented [41][42]. - Inventory: The weekly inventory data of butadiene rubber enterprises, traders, and futures are provided [46][48]. 3.4.2 Demand of Butadiene Rubber - Tire: The inventory and operating rate data of semi - steel and all - steel tires in Shandong Province are presented [50][51].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The methanol market shows a narrow - range oscillation pattern in the short term. There is limited willingness to short - sell at the fundamental valuation support level of methanol in the short - term market. This is due to two main reasons: the "anti - involution" policy, although not as aggressive in the short term, has a long - term policy orientation, which supports the overall valuation of commodities; currently, the methanol fundamentals are neutral, with expected inventory accumulation at ports and price resilience in the inland area, resulting in an unclear price drive [4]. - In the short term, the single - side trend is slightly weak, and it oscillates in the medium term. The upper pressure range is 2420 - 2430 yuan/ton, and the lower support range is 2320 - 2330 yuan/ton [4]. 3. Summary According to Relevant Catalogs This Week's Methanol Summary Supply - This week (20250801 - 0807), China's methanol production was 1,845,225 tons, a decrease of 67,900 tons from last week. The plant capacity utilization rate was 81.61%, a 3.55% decrease from the previous week. The decrease in production is mainly related to the increase in maintenance devices this period. The planned maintenance devices for the next period are expected to decrease, and the recovery devices may increase, so the overall market supply may increase [4]. Demand - Olefins: Zhejiang Xingxing continued to be shut down this week. Shenhua Ningxia resumed operation after a short - term shutdown last week. Qinghai Salt Lake reduced its load, and Xinjiang Hengyou resumed operation at a low load. After the hedging of each enterprise's devices, the olefin industry's start - up rate increased. Next week, Shenhua Xinjiang's olefin device is expected to shut down, leading to a decline in the start - up rate. - Traditional downstream: For dimethyl ether, the on - site devices are expected to maintain the previous dynamic stability next week, and the overall capacity utilization rate is expected to be flat compared to this week. For glacial acetic acid, Yanchang and Changcheng will resume normal operation next week. If there are no other unexpected device failures, the capacity utilization rate is expected to increase slightly. For formaldehyde, the Puyang Pengxin device has the expectation of resuming operation next week. Without other unexpected device failures, the capacity utilization rate is expected to increase compared to this week. For chlorides, the Jinling Dongying device may operate at full capacity next week. Without other unexpected device shutdowns or load reductions, the capacity utilization rate is expected to increase compared to this week [4]. Inventory - As of August 6, 2025, the inventory of Chinese methanol sample production enterprises was 293,700 tons, a decrease of 30,800 tons from the previous period, a 9.50% decrease. The sample enterprises' orders to be delivered were 240,800 tons, an increase of 10,100 tons from the previous period, a 4.37% increase. - As of August 6, 2025, the inventory of Chinese methanol port samples was 925,500 tons, an increase of 117,100 tons from the previous period, a 14.49% increase. The methanol port inventory increased significantly this week. After the unsealing, the arrival and unloading speed of ships accelerated, with 238,000 tons of overseas vessel's visible unloading. The提货 volume in the mainstream storage areas in Jiangsu increased slightly, but the consumption in Zhejiang weakened significantly due to the shutdown of olefin plants. Therefore, inventory accumulated under the background of concentrated unloading. The inventory in South China ports continued to increase. In Guangdong, both imported and domestic trade vessels arrived this week. Due to the continued weak demand, the提货 volume in the mainstream storage areas was average, and the inventory continued to accumulate. In Fujian, the imported supply continued to be replenished, and the downstream demand was mediocre, so the inventory also increased [4]. Price and Spread - The report presents multiple price - related charts, including the basis, monthly spread, and warehouse receipt of methanol in the Zhengzhou Commodity Exchange, domestic and international spot prices, and port - inland price differences from 2020 - 2025 [7][11][16].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No specific industry investment rating is provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The short - term outlook for methanol is weak with oscillations, and it will enter an oscillatory pattern in the medium term. In the short term, a large number of speculative funds have left the market, causing the commodity index to decline from its high, and methanol futures have followed suit. Also, with the strengthening of the basis, the supply of spot goods in the spot market is expected to increase, putting pressure on the supply side. In the medium term, methanol is expected to oscillate. The "anti - involution" policy provides some support for the overall valuation of commodities, and the current fundamentals of methanol are neutral, with the port unloading situation being the key point to watch [4]. - For single - sided trading, it is weak in the short term and oscillatory in the medium term, with an upper pressure range of 2420 - 2430 yuan/ton and a lower support range of 2320 - 2330 yuan/ton [4]. 3. Summary According to Related Catalogs 3.1 Price and Spread - Charts show the trends of basis, month - spreads (9 - 1, 5 - 9), and the number of warehouse receipts of methanol from 2020 - 2025 [7][8][9][10]. - Domestic and international spot price trends of methanol from 2020 - 2025 are presented, including prices in regions like Inner Mongolia, Henan, and international prices in CFR China, CFR Southeast Asia, and FOB Rotterdam [12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. - Port - inland price spread trends from 2020 - 2025 are shown, such as the spread between Taicang and Hebei, Sichuan - Chongqing, Henan, and Lunan [19][20][21][22]. 3.2 Supply - From 2024 - 2025, China's new methanol production capacity has expanded significantly.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating There is no information provided regarding the report industry investment rating. 2. Core View of the Report - The synthetic rubber market is expected to operate weakly in the short - term with narrowing downside space. The butadiene market is likely to experience a short - term callback and then enter a weak pattern in the medium - term [2][4][5]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 This Week's Synthetic Rubber View - **Supply**: High - cis butadiene rubber production and capacity utilization continued to increase this week. Next week, production is expected to decline slightly due to planned shutdowns and potential restarts [4]. - **Demand**: In terms of rigid demand, the capacity utilization rate of tire sample enterprises is expected to be slightly adjusted. Substitute demand remains high, and overall demand maintains a high year - on - year growth rate [4]. - **Inventory**: As of July 30, 2025, the inventory of high - cis butadiene rubber sample enterprises decreased. Sample production enterprise inventory decreased while sample trading enterprise inventory increased slightly [4]. - **View**: In the short - term, butadiene rubber futures prices are expected to correct from high levels and enter an oscillatory pattern in the medium - term. The theoretical valuation range of butadiene rubber futures is 11,000 - 11,800 yuan/ton [4]. - **Strategy**: For single - side trading, it is bearish. For cross - period trading, there is no recommendation. For cross - variety trading, the NR - BR spread is expected to shrink in the short - term [4]. 3.2 This Week's Butadiene View - **Supply**: Domestic butadiene supply remained stable this week, with production at 103,400 tons and capacity utilization at 69.97% [5]. - **Demand**: The demand from synthetic rubber for butadiene remains high, while the demand from ABS is expected to remain constant, and the demand from SBS maintains rigid procurement [5]. - **Inventory**: The total domestic butadiene sample inventory dropped to a low for the year, with port inventory significantly reduced due to weather - related factors [5]. - **View**: In the short - term, butadiene spot prices are expected to correct, but the decline is limited. In the medium - to - long - term, the supply pressure is the main contradiction, and it is expected to enter a weak pattern after the macro - sentiment eases [5]. 3.3 Butadiene Fundamentals - Butadiene is in the stage of supply - demand pricing and has a low correlation with the raw material end. Its capacity is in a state of continuous expansion, with the speed and amplitude slightly faster than that of downstream industries [8][10]. 3.4 Synthetic Rubber Fundamentals - **Supply of Butadiene Rubber**: Production and capacity utilization have shown changes. Costs, profits, and import - export volumes also have their own trends. Inventory levels have decreased [37][40][47]. - **Demand of Butadiene Rubber**: The demand from the tire industry is related to factors such as inventory and capacity utilization [51].
