1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The overall production of propylene remains at a high level, and the upstream operation rate has steadily increased. There is still no obvious phenomenon of PDH loss and maintenance in the short term. In January, some PDH units still have the expectation of maintenance, and the supply pressure in the propylene market may be alleviated periodically. [2] - Downstream buyers enter the market at low prices for rigid demand procurement. The spot trading of propylene has improved, and some PP powder units that purchase propylene externally have resumed production. The overall operation rate of powder has increased, and the demand for propylene on the PP side is expected to rise. [2] - Although the profit of butanol and octanol is acceptable and the operation rate is expected to remain stable, the operation rate of PO has slightly decreased due to the reduction of some units. In the future, propylene is expected to rise further, squeezing the downstream profitability, and the overall increase in the support of the demand side may be limited. [2] - The international oil price has回调, while the propane price remains strong and still provides support. The sharp rise in the futures prices of the coal series has also boosted the cost support of the olefin series. However, due to the limited improvement in the supply and demand fundamentals, the rebound space may be limited. [2] - For the trading strategy, it is recommended to wait and see. The supply and demand have improved slightly in the short term, but the support is still limited. Driven by sentiment, the short - term market will mainly fluctuate strongly. Wait for the marginal unit maintenance. [3] 3.

Core Viewpoint - The U.S. military action against Venezuela, including the capture of President Maduro, has significant implications for global oil supply, the dollar's performance, and the potential risks associated with safe-haven assets [1]. Oil Market - Venezuela possesses some of the largest oil reserves globally, but long-term sanctions and insufficient investment have limited its production and export capacity [3]. - The military action and shipping disruptions have heightened market concerns over supply uncertainty, leading to a temporary increase in oil prices [5]. - The price increase primarily reflects a risk premium rather than a change in demand, with short-term volatility expected in the heavy crude oil market due to Venezuela's unique supply characteristics [5]. - In the medium to long term, if stability returns and international capital re-enters to repair oil fields and port facilities, Venezuela's production and exports could recover, potentially increasing global supply and exerting downward pressure on oil prices [5]. Dollar Performance - In the short term, the dollar may strengthen due to increased market demand for safe-haven assets amid geopolitical risks [7]. - Investors typically allocate funds to highly liquid and creditworthy assets, such as the dollar and U.S. Treasury bonds, during such events [7]. - However, the long-term drivers of the dollar's value remain tied to U.S. inflation levels, employment conditions, and monetary policy, with regional events unlikely to fundamentally alter the dollar's core status [7]. Gold Market - The impact on gold is more indirect; while it may receive some short-term support due to its safe-haven attributes, its price is also influenced by interest rate expectations, dollar performance, and asset allocation [9]. - The direct influence of military conflicts on gold prices is limited, with its performance more closely related to actual interest rates, dollar trends, and risk management needs in investment portfolios [9]. - Understanding gold's role in different market environments through systematic learning is more beneficial than reacting impulsively to news [9]. Summary - The U.S. military action against Venezuela is expected to create short-term volatility in oil and gold markets while providing temporary support for the dollar, but these effects are largely driven by market sentiment rather than fundamental changes in supply and demand [9].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content 2. Core View of the Report - The spot trading of propylene has improved, but the futures market remains under pressure. The supply of propylene remains high, with stable upstream production. There is a potential for a phased reduction in supply pressure in January due to planned PDH unit maintenance. On the demand side, downstream purchases have increased, leading to better spot trading. The demand for propylene from the PP sector is expected to rise, and the operating rates of some downstream products are expected to increase. However, the overall improvement in demand may be limited. The cost side is affected by geopolitical tensions in the international oil market and the increase in the official price of propane from Saudi Aramco, strengthening cost support. But with limited improvement in the supply - demand fundamentals, the futures market is likely to remain under pressure. The recommended strategy is to wait and see, as the market may fluctuate within a range until the marginal unit maintenance is realized [2] 3. Summary According to the Directory 3.1 Propylene Basis Structure - The propylene basis structure includes information on the closing price of the propylene main contract, the East China basis, the Shandong basis, and the spreads between different contracts (PL01 - 03, PL03 - 05).

The propylene operating rate was 75% (+0%), China's propylene CFR - Japan's naphtha CFR was 212 dollars/ton (+6), and the import profit was - 310 yuan/ton (-2) [1][21][24] 3.3 Propylene Downstream Profit and Operating Rate - For propylene downstream products, data on production profit and operating rate are provided for various products.

Core Viewpoint - The A-share market is experiencing a shift from broad-based gains to structural depth, with a clear focus on two main lines: resource sectors and technology [1] Group 1: Market Performance - The Shanghai Composite Index rose by 0.31%, while the ChiNext Index saw a slight decline, indicating a "strong Shanghai, weak Shenzhen" market dynamic [1] - The leading sectors include oil and petrochemicals, national defense, and electronics, while utilities, pharmaceuticals, and consumer sectors are declining [1] Group 2: Drivers of Nonferrous Metals - Global liquidity expectations are influencing resource pricing, with the U.S. CPI data reinforcing expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts, benefiting precious metals like gold and silver, as well as copper [2] - The structural reshaping of demand in the new energy sector is providing a growth narrative for traditional industrial metals, with copper being termed the "electrification metal" and aluminum as the "lightweight metal" [2] - The rigid constraints of supply and demand fundamentals are a foundational element for price increases, particularly evident in silver, which has faced a significant supply shortage for five consecutive years [2] - Geopolitical risks and domestic policies are acting as dual catalysts, enhancing the safe-haven value of precious metals while supportive fiscal policies in China provide a potential recovery space for industrial metal demand [2] Group 3: Investment Outlook - The active nonferrous metals sector is not isolated but aligns with the strong performance of the technology growth sector, indicating two major investment strategies: "buy inflation/revaluation" (resources) and "buy growth/future" (technology) [3] - The upcoming cross-year market is expected to present more structural opportunities than index-based ones, with a focus on identifying where the opportunities lie [3] - Key areas to watch include nonferrous metals with tight supply-demand dynamics (copper, silver), hard technology sectors on the brink of domestic production and new technologies (semiconductor equipment, AI applications), and high-end equipment manufacturing capable of international expansion and upgrades [3]
