1. Report Industry Investment Rating Not provided in the given content. 2. Core View of the Report - The overall energy and chemical products should be treated with an oscillatory mindset as macro - data starts to reflect the weakening economic situation. The chemical sector shows a weaker trend than crude oil, and the market is still dominated by the pessimistic expectation of future demand [2]. 3. Summary by Variety Crude Oil - **View**: There is still an expectation of supply surplus, and attention should be paid to macro and geopolitical disturbances. The price of crude oil will continue to oscillate under the balance of OPEC+ production - increasing pressure and macro - geopolitical benefits [5]. - **Main Logic**: The EIA short - term energy outlook continues to lower the expected production of the US next year, and the API data shows that the US destocked crude oil and restocked refined oil last week, with relatively weak terminal demand. Although the recent macro - environment has eased and Saudi Arabia's production increase in May was limited, the supply surplus expectation still exists in the second half of the year due to the cumulative effect of production increase [5]. LPG - **View**: The domestic combustion and chemical demand remain weak, with limited upward rebound space and may oscillate at the bottom in the short term [9]. - **Main Logic**: Domestic refineries are gradually resuming from maintenance, increasing the supply of liquefied gas and civil gas, and the refinery inventory is rising. High temperatures reduce the civil combustion demand, and the downstream restocking willingness is limited. The PDH device operating rate has declined slightly, and the port inventory is rising, with limited incremental demand for propane [9]. Asphalt - **View**: The absolute price of asphalt is over - estimated, and the asphalt monthly spread is expected to decline with the increase of warehouse receipts [5]. - **Main Logic**: The increase in heavy - oil supply due to OPEC+ production increase and the improvement of domestic raw material supply will put pressure on asphalt prices. The current asphalt is over - estimated, and it needs both strong crude oil and rebar for a bull market, but the current situation does not support it [5][6]. High - Sulfur Fuel Oil - **View**: It will oscillate weakly as the supply increases and demand decreases, and the geopolitical impact on prices is short - term [6][7]. - **Main Logic**: The increase in heavy - oil supply, the rise in import tariffs, and the substitution of natural gas for oil power generation will put pressure on high - sulfur fuel oil prices. The current strong cracking spread and weak discount are due to different factors, and the three driving forces supporting high - sulfur fuel oil are weakening [6][7]. Low - Sulfur Fuel Oil - **View**: It will follow the crude oil price to oscillate, with increasing supply, falling demand, and may maintain a low - valuation operation [8][9]. - **Main Logic**: Currently, the supply and demand of low - sulfur fuel oil are both weak. The reduction of domestic refined - oil export tax rebates and the cancellation of UCO export tax rebates will increase the supply pressure, which is likely to be transmitted to low - sulfur fuel oil [8][9]. Methanol - **View**: It will oscillate in the short term [17]. - **Main Logic**: The methanol price oscillated on June 10. The port inventory is entering a restocking cycle, and the coal price has a short - term rebound, which has a slight impact on methanol. The olefin market is still weak, providing limited support for methanol [17]. Urea - **View**: The domestic supply is strong and demand is weak, and the futures price will oscillate weakly [17]. - **Main Logic**: The high supply continues, and the agricultural demand has not seen concentrated replenishment yet, while the industrial demand is weakening. Exports are expected to be reflected in late June, and the enterprise inventory is rising [17]. Ethylene Glycol - **View**: It has support at the 4200 - 4300 level, and short - selling is not recommended [13]. - **Main Logic**: The industrial pattern of ethylene glycol is still healthy from June to July. The possible stagnation of US ethane exports may limit future production, and the downward space is limited [13]. PX - **View**: It will oscillate weakly as the supply restarts quickly, and attention should be paid to PTA production and polyester start - up [11]. - **Main Logic**: The cost - end guidance of PX is slowing down due to the uncertain future OPEC+ production policy and concerns about global demand. The Asian PX operating load will increase, and the domestic PX is in a destocking cycle, but the supply - demand game is intensifying [11]. PTA - **View**: The supply increases and demand decreases, and the situation is gradually weakening [11]. - **Main Logic**: The weaving load is declining due to limited orders and high inventory. The PTA supply is restarting, and the supply - demand weak expectation restricts the market sentiment, and the destocking is narrowing in June [11]. Short - Fiber - **View**: The processing fee is supported by production cuts, and the absolute value follows the raw material price [13][14]. - **Main Logic**: The PF fundamentals are improving marginally. The supply pressure is relieved due to production cuts, and the spot basis is strengthening. The short - term decline is driven by the macro - environment, and the industrial pattern is still healthy [13][14]. Bottle Chip - **View**: It will oscillate and follow the raw material price [15]. - **Main Logic**: After the price decline, the trading volume of bottle chips has increased, and the basis has strengthened. Exports have diverted some of the excess supply, but it is not enough to change the weak situation. The scope of production cuts and maintenance may expand [15][16]. PP - **View**: It will oscillate in the short term [20]. - **Main Logic**: The cost - end support is marginally increasing, but the supply is still increasing, and the downstream demand is weak. The high - speed growth of supply continues, and the upstream refinery profit may need to be further compressed to balance the supply [20]. Plastic - **View**: It will oscillate as the improvement of maintenance is limited [19]. - **Main Logic**: The cost - end valuation support is marginally increasing, but the plastic's own fundamentals are still under pressure. The supply pressure is high, the downstream demand is weak, and the export window has not widened significantly [19]. Styrene - **View**: It rebounded due to macro - expectations, but the subsequent driving force is insufficient and will oscillate weakly [11][12]. - **Main Logic**: The macro - meeting and device rumors drove the rebound. However, the real - world benefits are limited, the supply may increase due to the restart of long - stopped devices, and the demand and inventory situation of styrene and its downstream products are not optimistic [11][12]. PVC - **View**: It will have a weak rebound in the short term due to improved sentiment, but may face pressure in the long term [22]. - **Main Logic**: The market sentiment has improved due to Sino - US talks. However, in the long term, new production capacity will be put into operation, the domestic demand is in the off - season, and exports are expected to weaken. Although there are many maintenance plans in June, the production will increase after the new capacity is put into operation in mid - July [22]. Caustic Soda - **View**: The spot price has peaked, and it is advisable to short on rallies [22]. - **Main Logic**: The non - aluminum demand is entering the off - season, and the receiving price of Weiqiao has started to decline. Although there are many maintenance plans in June, the supply is expected to increase in the third quarter. The current supply and demand are both weak, and the 09 - contract fundamentals are pessimistic [22]. 4. Variety Data Monitoring Energy and Chemical Daily Indicator Monitoring - **Inter - period Spread**: Data on the inter - period spreads of various varieties such as SC, WTI, Brent, etc. are provided, showing the latest values and changes [23]. - **Basis and Warehouse Receipts**: Information on the basis and warehouse receipts of multiple varieties including asphalt, high - sulfur fuel oil, etc. is presented [24]. - **Inter - variety Spread**: The latest values and changes of inter - variety spreads such as 1 - month PP - 3MA, 1 - month TA - EG, etc. are given [25]. Chemical Basis and Spread Monitoring - Although sub - headings for multiple varieties such as methanol, urea, etc. are provided, no specific content is given in the provided documents.

Core Viewpoint - The domestic soda ash industry has entered a downward cycle since 2025, with prices dropping nearly 200 yuan/ton due to oversupply from capacity expansion and a decline in demand from end-user industries like photovoltaic and real estate [1] Group 1: Supply and Capacity Expansion - The domestic soda ash industry experienced a bull market from 2021 to 2024, with profits peaking at over 1500 yuan/ton in 2021. However, a new capacity expansion cycle began in 2023, leading to a bearish market in 2024 [2] - Effective domestic soda ash capacity increased from 30 million tons to 40 million tons, a growth of over 30%. New capacity additions are expected to continue, with 2.1 million tons planned for the first half of 2025 and additional expansions from various companies [2][3] - The industry is transitioning towards lower-cost production methods, with natural soda ash expected to account for about 50% of total capacity, while ammonia-based production is anticipated to decline below 20% [2] Group 2: Demand and Market Conditions - The soda ash industry is facing significant price pressure due to high supply and stagnant or declining demand. As of early June 2025, total inventory levels exceeded 300,000 tons, contributing to downward price pressure [3] - Demand for soda ash is particularly affected by the glass industry, with a notable decline in daily melting capacity for both float glass and photovoltaic glass since July 2024. This decline is expected to continue, further impacting soda ash demand [4] - The real estate sector remains under pressure, with a 17% decrease in completed housing area from January to April 2025, leading to weak glass demand and increased inventory levels [4] Group 3: Cost and Price Outlook - The soda ash price is expected to continue its downward trend, with support levels projected between 1100 and 1150 yuan/ton. The cost structure is shifting downward due to falling raw material prices, including a nearly 70 yuan/ton drop in raw salt prices since 2025 [5][6] - The production cost of soda ash is anticipated to decrease by 170 to 200 yuan/ton compared to the end of 2024, with potential further declines in raw salt and coal prices [5][6] - The theoretical price floor for soda ash could reach between 950 and 1000 yuan/ton in the medium to long term, indicating a challenging market environment [6] Group 4: Market Strategy - The industry is advised to adopt a bearish outlook, monitoring for opportunities to hedge against price declines. Companies should focus on macroeconomic factors and potential production cuts to identify selling opportunities [7]

Report Information - Report Title: Liquefied Petroleum Gas Weekly Report - Report Date: June 8, 2025 - Report Author: Chen Xinchao from Guotai Junan Futures Research Institute - Investment Advisory Qualification Number: Z0020238 - Futures Practitioner Qualification Number: F03128004 Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Report Core View - The view is that demand is weak and prices are under short - term pressure. The logic is that from May 31 to June 6, the macro - expectation improved, the futures market fluctuated narrowly, while the spot market was under pressure due to loose supply and demand. The international LPG market price center moved down. Supply was sufficient this week, with civil demand remaining seasonally weak. Although the overall chemical end started to pick up, it was still weak, and demand support was insufficient, further pressuring prices. It is recommended to closely track the subsequent PDH device and logistics dynamics [4]. Summary by Directory 1. Overview - International LPG market prices: As of June 6, the AFEI propane index fluctuated slightly, with MA5 down 0.85% to $540.30/ton; the US overall propane inventory was sufficient, and the MB price MA5 fell 2.46% to $373.75/ton. The cost of propane refrigerated cargo arriving in South China dropped to around $610/ton [4]. - Supply: Domestic LPG production increased for four consecutive weeks. Except for a slight decrease in the output of ether - after C4 this week, the production of civil gas and propane increased. Propane imports increased by 36.74% to 511,000 tons, and South China's inventory increased significantly to 661,300 tons (+11.11%) [4]. - Demand: The operating rate of domestic propane dehydrogenation (PDH) devices changed little this week, remaining around 63%. Next week, Qingdao Jinneng's Phase I PDH is expected to resume operation, so the operating rate of Chinese PDH is expected to rise [4]. 2. Price & Spread - There are multiple price data graphs, including the prices of LPG, APS propane, and AFE propane futures contracts, as well as the prices and basis of domestic civil gas, imported gas, and ether - after C4 in different regions. There are also historical data on regional price premiums, discounts, and freight rates [8][11][15]. 3. Supply - US exports: There are graphs showing the export volume of US propane to different regions (Europe, China, Japan and South Korea) from 2019 - 2025 [27][28][29]. - Middle - East exports: There are graphs showing the export volume of LPG from the Middle - East region and individual countries (Iran, Kuwait, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar) from 2019 - 2025, as well as the import volume of LPG in India, China, and Japan and South Korea [33][34][35]. - Domestic supply: This week, China's propane supply was 552,000 tons, a 33.3% increase from the previous week. Domestic refinery commodity volume was 41,000 tons, a 1.49% increase from last week. The international shipping volume was 511,000 tons, mainly in South China [52]. 4. Demand - Chemical demand: The operating rate of PDH was 63.01% (- 0.25), and the operating rate of MTBE was 54.72% (+0.48). There are also graphs showing the profit and operating rate of alkylation, MTBE, and PDH [55][56].

Report Summary 1) Report Industry Investment Ratings - Alumina futures: Oscillating with a bearish bias [3] - Stock index futures: Bullish, recommend buying on dips [6] - Gold: Bullish in the long - term, recommend buying on dips [11] - Iron ore: Oscillating with a bullish bias [14] - Glass: Oscillating with a bullish bias for now [17] - Urea: Expected to be weak in the short - term [20] 2) Core Viewpoints - On June 5, 2025, the sharp drop in alumina futures attracted market attention. The supply - demand imbalance, with over - capacity on the supply side and weak demand, may lead to continued downward pressure on prices, but Guinea's mining policies bring uncertainties [3]. - A - shares closed up for three consecutive days. The financial regulatory authority's support for science and technology innovation and the research on science and technology insurance policies are positive for the market [6][7]. - Gold is in a short - term oscillating pattern but is bullish in the long run [11]. - For iron ore, although there are risks of over - valuation due to weak reality, the continuous decline in port inventory supports the market [14][15]. - For glass, the supply side has no major cold - repair due to losses, and demand needs the stimulation of real estate policies [17][18]. - Urea has a high daily output and slow agricultural demand, so it is expected to be weak in the short - term [20]. 3) Summary by Related Catalogs Alumina Futures - On June 5, 2025, the futures price dropped nearly 3% at the morning close. Supply is increasing due to new capacity and restored supply from Guinea, while demand is weak with low downstream purchasing willingness [3]. Stock Index Futures - A - shares had three consecutive positive closes. The financial regulatory authority's support for science and technology innovation and policy research on science and technology insurance are positive. Recommend buying on dips [6][7]. Gold - Gold is in a short - term oscillating pattern, but long - term bullish. Recommend buying on dips and avoid chasing high prices [10][11]. Iron Ore - At the end of the quarter, mines are increasing shipments, and iron - water production is seasonally weak. However, the continuous decline in port inventory supports the market. Consider an oscillating and bullish view [14][15]. Glass - The supply side has no major cold - repair due to losses, and factory inventories are high. Downstream demand needs the effect of real - estate stimulation policies. Technically, it oscillated down today but did not break the low in the daily - line level. Keep an oscillating and bullish view for now [17][18]. Urea - The domestic daily output is about 205600 tons, with an operating rate of about 87.23%. Agricultural demand is slow, and downstream follow - up is limited. The price is expected to be weak in the short - term [20].

Report Information - Report Title: Soda Ash and Glass Daily Report [1] - Report Date: May 13, 2024 [2] - Research Team: Energy and Chemical Research Team [4] 1. Investment Rating - No investment rating information is provided in the report. 2. Core Views - On May 12, the main soda ash futures contract SA509 rebounded after hitting a bottom, with a closing price of 1,318 yuan/ton, up 2 yuan/ton or 0.15%, and an increase in positions of 11,751 lots. The spot prices of heavy and light soda ash in Central China remained unchanged from the previous day. Soda ash production continued to rise, and demand increased. However, the supply side is at a high level year-on-year, and the downward pressure on prices is becoming more significant. New production capacity will be put into operation, further increasing supply pressure [8]. - The supply side of the glass market is showing a contraction trend, but it is difficult to form a large-scale cold repair wave in the short term. The peak demand season fell short of expectations, and with the approaching of the traditional off-season, market sentiment is pessimistic. The combination of复产 expectations and high inventory is suppressing futures prices. In the short term, the glass market lacks effective driving factors, and prices will continue to fluctuate weakly [9]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Soda Ash and Glass Market Review and Operation Suggestions - **Futures Trading Data on May 12**: The SA505 contract opened at 1,276 yuan/ton, closed at 1,291 yuan/ton, down 9 yuan or 0.69%, with a position of 0.31 million lots, a decrease of 796 lots. The SA509 contract opened at 1,299 yuan/ton, closed at 1,318 yuan/ton, up 2 yuan or 0.15%, with a position of 123.31 million lots, an increase of 11,751 lots. The FG505 contract opened at 1,044 yuan/ton, closed at 1,047 yuan/ton, up 7 yuan or 0.67%, with a position of 0.53 million lots, a decrease of 822 lots. The FG509 contract opened at 1,034 yuan/ton, closed at 1,045 yuan/ton, down 3 yuan or 0.28%, with a position of 133.57 million lots, a decrease of 2,299 lots [7]. - **Soda Ash Market**: The weekly production of soda ash in China reached 757,000 tons in the week of May 8, near the highest level this year, and the weekly operating load rate remained at 90%. As of May 8, the weekly enterprise inventory of heavy soda ash in China remained at 880,000 tons, continuing the inventory accumulation trend. The supply side is at a high level year-on-year, and the downward pressure on prices is significant. Although some production line maintenance plans may have an impact on the supply rhythm in May, it is difficult to fundamentally reverse the oversupply situation [8]. - **Glass Market**: The supply side is showing a contraction trend, but it is difficult to form a large-scale cold repair wave in the short term due to cost and capacity limitations. The peak demand season fell short of expectations, and with the approaching of the traditional off-season, market sentiment is pessimistic. The combination of复产 expectations and high inventory is suppressing futures prices. In the short term, the glass market lacks effective driving factors, and prices will continue to fluctuate weakly [9]. 3.2 Industry News - The market price of baking soda in Henan is stable. Jinshan's baking soda plant is under maintenance, and downstream users maintain a rigid procurement rhythm. The mainstream ex-factory price of food-grade baking soda is estimated at 1,200 - 1,260 yuan/ton [10]. - In May 2025, the weighted order days of domestic soda ash manufacturers' sample enterprises were 14.6 days, basically flat month-on-month. The operating load of the soda ash industry decreased in May, and the supply of goods decreased, but downstream demand was weak, and the enthusiasm for purchasing was not high, so new orders from soda ash manufacturers were average [10]. - Based on the period from 10:00 to 14:00 on the day, the average market price of 5mm large float glass in Shahe decreased by 0.21 yuan/square meter compared with the previous working day, with an average price of 14.77 yuan/square meter; the average price of 4.4mm small float glass decreased by 0.32 yuan/square meter, with an average price of 12.69 yuan/square meter. The Shahe float glass market continued to weaken over the weekend, and the futures price remained sluggish, with the market price center further moving down. Some spot-futures traders' shipments improved. The market basically stabilized today, and traders' selling prices were flexible [10]. - In April, China's automobile production and sales reached 2.619 million and 2.59 million units respectively, down 12.9% and 11.2% month-on-month, and up 8.9% and 9.8% year-on-year. Domestic automobile sales were 2.073 million units, down 13.9% month-on-month and up 11.7% year-on-year; automobile exports were 517,000 units, up 2% month-on-month and 2.6% year-on-year. In April, the production and sales of new energy vehicles reached 1.251 million and 1.226 million units respectively, up 43.8% and 44.2% year-on-year, and the sales of new energy vehicles accounted for 47.3% of the total sales of new vehicles [10]. 3.3 Data Overview - The report provides multiple data charts, including the price trends of active soda ash and glass contracts, weekly soda ash production, soda ash enterprise inventory, the market price of heavy soda ash in Central China, and flat glass production, with data sources from Wind and Zhuochuang Information [14][17][18].
