Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Core View - The domestic LPG market is expected to continue a narrow - range oscillating trend. International LPG prices are weak, with a significant increase in warehouse receipts suppressing the market. Although domestic chemical demand is increasing, weak combustion demand restricts upward movement [1]. Summary by Relevant Content Price and Market Data - On Monday, the cheapest deliverable was East China civil LPG at 4413 yuan/ton. FEI and CP prices dropped, PP prices declined sharply, and the production profit of FEI and CP for PP worsened, with CP having a lower production cost than FEI. The PG market weakened, with the 08 - 09 spread at - 7 and the 08 - 10 spread at - 411. The US - to - Far East arbitrage window closed [1]. - The PG market oscillated. The basis weakened to 370 (-63), and the inter - month reverse spread continued to strengthen. Warehouse receipt registrations reached 9804 lots (+1000), with Qingdao Yunda adding 1000 lots. External market prices continued to weaken, and the oil - gas ratio declined [1]. Regional and Spread Data - In terms of regional spreads, PG - CP reached 43 (+18), FEI - MB was 155 (-6), FEI - CP was 4.5 (+4.5), and the US - Asia arbitrage window closed. FEI propane discount continued to fall, and the CP arrival discount oscillated. FEI - MOPJ changed little, at - 47.5 (-3.75) [1].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Unilateral: Neutral; - Inter - period: PL01 - 05 reverse spread; - Inter - variety: Long PL2601 and short PP2509 [4] 2. Core Viewpoints - Macro policies such as anti - involution and elimination of backward production capacity continue to boost the propylene and polyolefin markets. The elimination of backward production capacity in the propylene industry is expected to shift the domestic propylene market from an oversupply to a tight - balance situation. However, the current overall propylene operating rate is at a seasonally low level, and downstream demand has limited driving force. For polyolefins, although macro policies boost the market, the cost - side support is weak, and downstream demand remains weak during the seasonal off - season [3] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Propylene 3.1.1 Propylene Basis Structure - It includes the market prices of propylene in East China and Shandong [10][12] 3.1.2 Propylene Production Profit and Operating Rate - Involves the difference between propylene CFR in China and naphtha CFR in Japan, propylene capacity utilization rate, PDH production gross profit and capacity utilization rate, MTO production gross profit, and methanol - to - olefin capacity utilization rate [13][18][22] 3.1.3 Propylene Import and Export Profit - Covers propylene naphtha cracking production gross profit, crude oil refinery capacity utilization rate, and the differences between FOB in South Korea, CFR in Japan, and CFR in Southeast Asia and China CFR, as well as propylene import profit [25][28][33] 3.1.4 Propylene Downstream Profit and Operating Rate - Includes the production profit and operating rate of PP powder, propylene oxide, n - butanol, octanol, acrylic acid, acrylonitrile, and phenol - acetone [35][40][42] 3.1.5 Propylene Inventory - Comprises propylene factory inventory and PP powder factory inventory [59][61] 3.2 Polyolefins 3.2.1 Polyolefin Basis Structure - Involves the trends of plastic and polypropylene futures main contracts, and the basis between LL in East China and the main contract, and PP in East China and the main contract [63][64][70] 3.2.2 Polyolefin Production Profit and Operating Rate - Covers LL production profit from crude oil, PE operating rate, PE weekly output, PE maintenance loss, PP production profit from crude oil and PDH, PP operating rate, PP weekly output, PP maintenance loss, and PDH - made PP capacity utilization rate [71][72][77] 3.2.3 Polyolefin Non - Standard Price Difference - Includes the price differences between HD injection molding, HD blow molding, HD film, LD in East China and LL, and the price differences between PP low - melt copolymer and PP homopolymer injection molding and PP drawing in East China [84][91][92] 3.2.4 Polyolefin Import and Export Profit - Involves LL import profit, the differences between FOB in the US Gulf, CFR in Southeast Asia, FD in Europe and China CFR, PP import and export profit, and the differences between FOB in the US Gulf, CFR in Southeast Asia, FOB in Northwest Europe of PP homopolymer injection molding and China CFR [93][97][109] 3.2.5 Polyolefin Downstream Operating Rate and Profit - Includes the operating rates of PE downstream agricultural film, packaging film, and PP downstream woven bags, BOPP film, injection molding, and the production gross profits of PP downstream woven bags and BOPP film [117][120][127] 3.2.6 Polyolefin Inventory - Comprises the inventories of PE and PP in oil - based enterprises, coal - chemical enterprises, traders, and ports [133][134][136]

Report Summary 1. Investment Rating No investment rating for the industry is provided in the report. 2. Core View - In the futures and spot markets, the closing price of the EG main contract was 4436 yuan/ton (down 11 yuan/ton or -0.25% from the previous trading day), the EG spot price in the East China market was 4497 yuan/ton (up 7 yuan/ton or +0.16% from the previous trading day), and the EG East China spot basis (based on the 2509 contract) was 62 yuan/ton (up 2 yuan/ton month-on-month). The news of the upcoming work plan for stabilizing growth in ten key industries boosted the market, but the impact on EG was limited as the proportion of backward production capacity over 20 years old was only 6.6%, and most were already shut down or operating at low loads. The cost of coal increased due to the production inspection notice [1]. - In terms of production profit, the production profit of ethylene - made EG was -45 dollars/ton (up 4 dollars/ton month - on - month), and that of coal - made syngas EG was 93 yuan/ton (up 14 yuan/ton month - on - month) [1]. - Regarding inventory, according to CCF data, MEG inventory at the East China main port was 53.3 tons (down 2.0 tons month - on - month); according to Longzhong data, it was 49.4 tons (up 1.3 tons month - on - month). The actual arrival at the main port last week was 5.2 tons, with a slight reduction in port inventory. The planned arrival at the East China main port this week is 15.7 tons, and the visible inventory is expected to rise moderately early next week [2]. - For the overall fundamental supply - demand logic, on the supply side, the domestic synthetic gas - made glycol load has returned to a high level, with more unplanned load reductions in non - coal production, and limited room for further improvement. Overseas supply recovery was less than expected due to the poor restart of Saudi Arabian plants. On the demand side, terminal inventory was high and the willingness to stock up was low during the off - season, with weak demand expectations. However, the actual decline in demand may be limited, and the supply - demand structure in July was still favorable, but the pressure of foreign vessel arrivals would increase moderately in late July [2]. - In terms of strategy, the short - term performance is strong under the concentrated release of macro - policies, and the medium - term view is neutral. Attention should be paid to macro - sentiment [3]. 3. Summary by Directory Price and Basis - The closing price of the EG main contract was 4436 yuan/ton, the EG spot price in the East China market was 4497 yuan/ton, and the EG East China spot basis (based on the 2509 contract) was 62 yuan/ton [1]. Production Profit and Operating Rate - The production profit of ethylene - made EG was -45 dollars/ton, and that of coal - made syngas EG was 93 yuan/ton [1]. International Spread No specific data or analysis of international spreads is provided in the summary part of the report. Downstream Sales, Production, and Operating Rate - There is no detailed analysis of downstream sales, production, and operating rates in the summary part of the report. Inventory Data - MEG inventory at the East China main port was 53.3 tons (CCF data, down 2.0 tons month - on - month) and 49.4 tons (Longzhong data, up 1.3 tons month - on - month). The actual arrival last week was 5.2 tons, and the planned arrival this week is 15.7 tons [2].

Report Summary 1. Investment Ratings - No investment ratings provided in the report 2. Core Views - **Pigs**: Future two months are a seasonally tight supply period for pigs due to winter piglet diseases, and the July pig slaughter plan is reduced, which supports the pig market. However, the overall supply this year is relatively strong, with the national sow inventory in May at 40.42 million heads, only 0.38 million heads less than the peak in November last year, and still above the basic capacity of 39 million heads, limiting the upward movement of pig prices [2] - **Eggs**: Eggs are in a traditional seasonal off - season with weakening consumption demand. The high - temperature and high - humidity weather is unfavorable for egg storage, reducing channel purchasing willingness. Newly - laying hens are at a high - production stage. Although farmers have a high willingness to cull due to large losses, the supply - side capacity reduction has just begun, and the reversal point has not arrived. Egg prices have a rebound demand at low levels but are still in a bearish trend, showing a weak and volatile pattern [7] - **Soybean Meal**: As of the week ending July 13, 2025, the good - to - excellent rate of US soybeans was 70%, higher than market expectations and the previous week, and also at a relatively high level over the years. Brazil's 2024/25 soybean production is expected to be 169.5 million tons. The confirmed high - yield expectations in South America suppress the futures price to fluctuate weakly [9] - **Corn**: The spot price in the main production areas has weakened, and under the continuous decline of the futures price, traders' willingness to hold prices has weakened, and their willingness to sell at low prices has increased. Deep - processing enterprises are pressing prices for purchases. The corn inventory in the four northern ports, a barometer of inventory, has continued to decline from a historical high, and the inventory of feed and deep - processing enterprises has also decreased. Affected by the import corn auction, the spot price has loosened, and the adjustment of the futures price on the disk continues [11] 3. Summaries by Directory 3.1 Farming Capacity - **Pigs**: The sow inventory is in a green area, indicating a loose capacity [17] - **Eggs**: The laying - hen inventory is at a historical high, with loose capacity [17] 3.2 Farming - end Demand - **Pigs**: The pig slaughtering start - up rate is running weakly [21] - **Eggs**: The downstream consumption is average [21] 3.3 Replenishment Prices - **Pigs**: The average price of piglets has been fluctuating weakly recently [24] - **Eggs**: The price of chicken chicks is high [24] 3.4 Basis - **Pigs**: Due to loose capacity and weak expectations, the futures price is weaker than the spot price, and the basis is oscillating at a high level [27] - **Eggs**: The basis shows a weak and volatile trend [27] - **Soybean Meal**: As the arrival of goods increases, the basis is falling [30] - **Corn**: The basis is running weakly [30] 3.5 Production Profits - **Pigs**: Pig - farming profits are weakly oscillating [33] - **Eggs**: Laying - hen farming profits are weakly oscillating [33] - **Soybeans**: The soybean crushing profit is currently running weakly [43] - **Corn**: The starch - corn price difference is weakly oscillating [43] 3.6 Inventory - **Soybeans**: With the increasing arrival of goods, soybean inventory is at a high level, and soybean meal inventory is accumulating due to the recovery of the startup rate [36] - **Corn**: The deep - processing inventory has slightly declined due to less arrivals and strong price - holding willingness of traders; the overall inventory of feed enterprises has also slightly decreased this week [40] 3.7 Industry Terms - **Old Rice**: Usually stored in reserve warehouses for a long time, it can be used for processing fuel ethanol or feed, with a relatively low price. It is a good substitute for corn in feed use, and the auction rhythm of old rice has a certain regulatory effect on the corn market price [44] - **Secondary Fattening**: Farmers buy healthy pigs that have reached the normal slaughter weight (usually 200 - 250 pounds), fatten them for a period to increase their weight to 350 pounds or more, and then sell them to earn the price difference. This model has become popular after African swine fever [44]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No specific industry investment rating is provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - BZ futures discount has narrowed, and the strong downstream demand for BZ has led to a decline in pure benzene port inventory from a high level. The high operating rates of downstream styrene and CPL support the demand, and the increase in polymer MDI operating rate drives up the aniline operating rate. However, the sustainability of CPL's high operating rate is still questionable due to the decline in PA6 and nylon filament operating rates. On the supply side, the pressure of South Korea's exports to China remains, and domestic production operating rates are still high, resulting in the continued weak consolidation of pure benzene processing fees. For styrene, port inventory has further increased, and the EB basis has rapidly declined. Domestically, EB maintains a high operating rate on the supply side, while on the demand side, the operating rates of EPS and PS drag down EB demand [3]. 3. Summary According to the Directory I. Pure Benzene and EB's Basis Structure, Inter - Period Spreads - The report mentions various basis and spread data of pure benzene and EB, including pure benzene's main basis, the spread between pure benzene spot and M2 paper goods, the spread between the first - and third - continuous contracts of pure benzene, EB's main contract basis, and the spread between the first - and third - continuous contracts of styrene [1][13][19]. II. Pure Benzene and Styrene Production Profits, Domestic and Foreign Spreads - Data on production profits and domestic - foreign spreads of pure benzene and styrene are presented, such as naphtha processing fees, the difference between pure benzene FOB South Korea and naphtha CFR Japan, non - integrated production profits of styrene, and differences in FOB prices of pure benzene and styrene in different regions [25][26][37]. III. Pure Benzene and Styrene Inventory, Operating Rates - Pure benzene port inventory is 16.40 million tons (-1.00 million tons), and styrene's East China port inventory is 138,500 tons (+27,000 tons), and its East China commercial inventory is 45,000 tons (+6,000 tons). The operating rate of pure benzene downstream products and styrene is also given, like the operating rate of styrene is 79.2% (-0.8%) [1]. IV. Styrene Downstream Operating Rates and Production Profits - For styrene downstream hard plastics, EPS production profit is 310 yuan/ton (+198 yuan/ton), PS production profit is -190 yuan/ton (+98 yuan/ton), ABS production profit is 408 yuan/ton (+109 yuan/ton). The operating rates of EPS, PS, and ABS are 51.06% (-4.82%), 51.10% (-1.30%), and 65.00% (-0.04%) respectively, and the downstream operating rates are at a seasonal low [2]. V. Pure Benzene Downstream Operating Rates and Production Profits - Data on the operating rates and production profits of pure benzene downstream products are provided, such as the operating rate of caprolactam is 95.72% (+0.00%), the production profit of caprolactam is -1,895 yuan/ton (-5 yuan/ton), etc. [1]. 4. Strategies - Unilateral: Hold a wait - and - see attitude towards pure benzene and styrene [4]. - Basis and Inter - period: For the near - month BZ paper goods - distant BZ2603 futures, conduct reverse arbitrage when the price is high [4]. - Cross - variety: Narrow the EB - BZ spread when it is high [4].

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Core Viewpoints - BZ2603 dropped 1.05% to close at 6,144 yuan/ton. The supply side saw an expanded impact of shutdowns in petroleum benzene plants last week, with the capacity utilization rate decreasing by 0.29% to 77.85%. For hydrobenzene, 3 sets of devices stopped, and the capacity utilization rate dropped by 9.32% to 61.95%. On the demand side, the operating rates of pure benzene downstream varied last week. In terms of inventory, the pure benzene inventory at East China ports decreased by 5.75% to 164,000 tons this week. With an increase in domestic petroleum benzene and hydrobenzene maintenance devices this week, the capacity utilization rate is expected to continue to decline. Due to the restart of large domestic plants and a continuous high volume of ships arriving at ports, pure benzene remains in a state of loose supply. Downstream demand is limited, mainly supported by styrene and caprolactam. There are plans for new downstream device startups this month, which may improve the future supply - demand contradiction. In terms of cost, the global crude oil supply - demand is generally weak, but geopolitical uncertainties still affect short - term oil prices. In the short term, the low - valued spot situation caused by weak supply - demand may continue. The pure benzene spot price is expected to fluctuate at a low level this week. Pay attention to the implementation of new downstream production capacity in the future. BZ2603 is expected to show a volatile trend, with the daily operating range expected to be around 6,100 - 6,300 [2]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Futures Market - The main closing price of pure benzene was 6,144 yuan/ton, a decrease of 45 yuan; the main settlement price was 6,166 yuan/ton, a decrease of 43 yuan. The main trading volume was 24,596 lots, a decrease of 13,009 lots; the main open interest was 13,970 lots, a decrease of 790 lots [2]. Spot Market - The mainstream price of pure benzene in the East China market was 5,965 yuan/ton, an increase of 5 yuan; in the South China market, it was 5,950 yuan/ton; in the North China market, it was 5,860 yuan/ton; in the Northeast region, it was 5,850 yuan/ton. The spot price of pure benzene in South Korea (FOB) was 727 US dollars/ton, and the CIF price in China was 744.5 US dollars/ton, an increase of 6 US dollars/ton [2]. Upstream Situation - The spot price of Brent DTD crude oil was 71.45 US dollars/barrel, a decrease of 1.19 US dollars; the CFR intermediate price of naphtha in the Japanese region was 597 US dollars/ton, an increase of 12.75 US dollars [2]. Industry Situation - The capacity utilization rate of pure benzene was 78.14%, an increase of 0.13%; the weekly output was 431,700 tons, a decrease of 1,600 tons. The port inventory of pure benzene was 174,000 tons, a decrease of 3,000 tons. The production cost was 5,327.8 yuan/ton, a decrease of 118.2 yuan/ton; the production profit was 737 yuan/ton, an increase of 76 yuan/ton [2]. Downstream Situation - The operating rate of styrene was 79.21%, a decrease of 0.82%; the capacity utilization rate of caprolactam was 95.72%, an increase of 6.41%; the capacity utilization rate of phenol was 78.54%, a decrease of 0.46%; the capacity utilization rate of aniline was 69.24%, a decrease of 0.1%; the capacity utilization rate of adipic acid was 64.3%, an increase of 2 [2].

Report Industry Investment Rating - Unilateral: Neutral [3] - Inter - period: Do reverse spreads on the MA09 - 01 inter - period spread when it is high [3] - Inter - variety: Narrow the PP01 - 3MA01 spread when it is high [3] Core Viewpoints - Overseas methanol production is operating at a high level, and the pressure of methanol arriving at Chinese ports remains high, leading to a stockpiling cycle at ports. The Xingxing MTO maintenance plan is yet to be implemented. If it is carried out smoothly, port demand will be further affected. Although the short - term situation at ports is weak, the market expects a significant scale of overseas gas - based methanol maintenance in the fourth quarter, which makes the long - term outlook optimistic [2] - In the inland region, short - term maintenance of inland coal - based methanol has led to a decline in supply. Although the formaldehyde in traditional downstream industries is in a seasonal off - season, the operating rates of MTBE and acetic acid are acceptable. The demand in the inland region remains resilient, and the inventory rebuilding rate of inland methanol factories is still slow. The inland market is stronger than the port market [2] Summary by Directory I. Methanol Basis & Inter - period Structure - The report presents figures related to methanol basis in different regions (such as methanol in Taicang, Lunan, Inner Mongolia North Line, etc.) compared with the main futures contract, and inter - period spreads between different methanol futures contracts (such as 01 - 05, 05 - 09, 09 - 01) [6][10][21] II. Methanol Production Profit, MTO Profit, Import Profit - Figures show the production profit of Inner Mongolia coal - based methanol, the MTO profit in East China, and import spreads such as the difference between Taicang methanol and CFR China, as well as price differences between CFR Southeast Asia, FOB US Gulf, FOB Rotterdam and CFR China [25][28][29] III. Methanol Operating Rate, Inventory - The report provides data on methanol port total inventory, MTO/P operating rate (including integrated ones), inland factory sample inventory, and China's methanol operating rate (including integrated ones) [33][35] IV. Regional Price Differences - Figures display regional price differences such as Lubei - Northwest - 280, East China - Inner Mongolia - 550, Taicang - Lunan - 250, etc [37][44] V.

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content Core Viewpoints - BZ futures maintain a large premium, reflecting the contango structure of high - inventory pricing. The strong downstream demand for pure benzene has led to a decline in pure benzene port inventory from its high level. However, the supply pressure from South Korea's exports to China and high domestic production have kept the pure benzene processing fee in a weak consolidation. For styrene, the port inventory has further increased, and the EB basis has further declined. Domestic EB maintains high - level production, while the demand is dragged down by the low operation rates of EPS and PS [3]. Summary by Catalog 1. Pure Benzene and EB's Basis Structure, Inter - period Spread - Relevant data includes pure benzene's main basis, the spread between pure benzene spot and M2 paper goods, the spread between the first - and third - consecutive contracts of pure benzene, the trend and basis of the EB main contract, and the spread between the first - and third - consecutive contracts of styrene [8][12][17] 2. Production Profits and Domestic - Foreign Spreads of Pure Benzene and Styrene - It involves data such as naphtha processing fee, the price difference between pure benzene FOB South Korea and naphtha CFR Japan, the production profit of non - integrated styrene plants, and the import profits of pure benzene and styrene [21][23][28] 3.
