Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core View of the Report In the past two weeks, the crude oil market has been in a volatile state due to the delayed realization of the expected supply shock and the digestion of previous short - term geopolitical events. Without clear fundamental and geopolitical drivers, crude oil is likely to continue to fluctuate until new variables emerge. In the energy - chemical sector, different products show different trends. Polyester is hyped for supply cuts, styrene has short - term supply - demand improvement but significant medium - term supply pressure, and methanol has a clear medium - term upward drive. Attention should be paid to the situation in Venezuela and the deployment of the US military in the region [2]. Summary by Directory Crude Oil - Logic: The pressure of crude oil supply surplus remains significant from the end of this year to the first quarter of next year, but the expected supply shock is delayed. After the rebound caused by the US Treasury's sanctions on a Russian oil company was mostly reversed, and with no new geopolitical variables, crude oil is likely to keep fluctuating. The situation in Venezuela is uncertain and not fully priced in the market. Wait for the last high - selling opportunity after possible military actions [4]. - Technical Analysis: The daily - level shows a medium - term downward structure, and the hourly - level shows a short - term volatile structure. It is recommended to wait and see in the hourly cycle [4]. Styrene - Logic: Recently, due to more maintenance, the operating rate has dropped to the lowest in the same period in recent years, but the output is still at a high level. Although the inventory is in the seasonal destocking stage, the destocking rate is lower than in previous years. In the medium - term, there are huge contradictions, especially the seasonal inventory build - up in the first quarter of next year. It is not advisable to short at present, but rather to take profit on previous short positions and wait for a high - selling opportunity [6]. - Technical Analysis: The hourly - level shows a short - term downward structure. Although the short - term downward trend remains unchanged, there are signs of short - position profit - taking. The upper short - term pressure level is at 6345. It is recommended to take profit when geopolitical risks increase and wait for a rebound to re - enter short positions [9]. Rubber - Logic: Since August, the downward trend of rubber has been less smooth than that of synthetic rubber. Although the tire demand has a similar impact on both, the natural rubber has no obvious supply pressure during the Southeast Asian rainy season since October. The short - term supply - demand contradiction is not prominent, and attention should be paid to the driving effect of synthetic rubber [11]. - Technical Analysis: The daily - level shows a medium - term downward structure, and the hourly - level shows a short - term downward structure. The downward momentum has weakened, and the upper short - term pressure is at 15170. It is recommended to wait and see in the hourly cycle [12][14]. Synthetic Rubber - Logic: The main driver is the cost - side butadiene. Although the weekly production of domestic butadiene has reached a new high, the inventory has not increased significantly due to the high operating rate of styrene - butadiene rubber. In the medium - term, the high supply pressure of butadiene will be the main contradiction, and the medium - term short - selling idea remains unchanged. It is recommended to take profit on previous short positions and wait for a high - selling opportunity [17]. - Technical Analysis: The daily - level shows a medium - term downward structure, and the hourly - level shows a short - term downward structure. The upper short - term pressure is at 10500. It is recommended to take profit when geopolitical risks increase and wait for a rebound to re - enter short positions [19]. PX - Logic: There are few contradictions in the polyester industry itself, but after a symposium on the development of the PTA and bottle - chip industries, there are rumors of production cuts in the polyester industry, and the market has increased positions and risen. Attention should be paid to the realization of these expectations [24]. - Technical Analysis: The hourly - level shows a short - term upward structure. After a decline with reduced positions, the upward structure remains unchanged. The lower short - term support is at 6715. It is recommended to try to go long when the support is not broken and a reversal pattern appears [24]. PTA - Logic: Similar to PX, there are few contradictions in the polyester industry itself, but production - cut rumors have led to an increase in positions and prices. Attention should be paid to the realization of these expectations [26]. - Technical Analysis: The hourly - level shows a short - term upward structure. After a decline with reduced positions, the upward structure remains unchanged. The lower short - term support is at 4620. It is recommended to try to go long when the support is not broken and a reversal pattern appears [26]. PP - Logic: After the commissioning of a petrochemical plant in Guangxi, the supply pressure of PP has increased, and the downstream demand recovery is limited. The supply - demand expectation is weak, and attention should be paid to the cost - side crude oil drive [28]. - Technical Analysis: The hourly - level shows a short - term downward structure. After a decline with reduced positions, the upper short - term pressure is at 6530. It is recommended to take profit on short positions when geopolitical risks increase [28]. Methanol - Logic: Currently, the import of methanol is still abundant, and the downward drive from high supply, high import, and high inventory continues. However, due to the high coal price and compressed profit margins, it is not advisable to short. For long - position seekers, although the short - term pressure of high supply and high inventory exists, the domestic supply - demand is relatively healthy, and the medium - term long - buying logic is expected due to the approaching winter gas - restriction in Iran and the unpriced situation in Venezuela. Pay attention to the signal of short - term structure conversion and the occurrence of the two events [33]. - Technical Analysis: The daily - level and short - term show a downward structure. After a small decline with increased positions, the upper short - term pressure is at 2150. It is recommended to take profit on short positions at 2150 or take the initiative to take profit. Wait to go long after the short - term structure reverses above 2150 [33]. PVC - Logic: After the end of centralized maintenance, the operating rate has increased, and the supply remains high. The domestic real - estate demand has collapsed, and the social inventory has reached a historical high. There is no upward drive [36]. - Technical Analysis: The daily - level shows a medium - term downward structure, and the hourly - level shows a short - term downward structure. After reaching a new low with increased positions, the upper short - term pressure has moved down to 4625. It is recommended to hold short positions in the hourly cycle [36]. Ethylene Glycol - Logic: The supply is at a high level, and the supply pressure increases with new capacity coming online. The supply - demand pressure is large under the inventory - build - up pattern, but beware of short - term geopolitical risks in crude oil [38]. - Technical Analysis: The daily - level and hourly - level show a downward structure. After a decline with increased positions, the upper short - term pressure is at 3950. It is recommended to take profit on short positions when geopolitical risks increase [38]. Plastic - Logic: After the commissioning of a petrochemical plant in Guangxi, the supply pressure has increased, and the downstream demand in the peak season is weak. The supply - demand expectation is weak, and beware of short - term geopolitical risks in crude oil [40]. - Technical Analysis: The daily - level shows a medium - term downward structure, and the hourly - level shows a short - term downward structure. After a decline with reduced positions, the upper short - term pressure is at 6850. It is recommended to take profit on short positions when geopolitical risks increase [40]. Soda Ash - Logic: The pattern of high supply and high inventory continues, and the downward drive remains unchanged. There was a rebound today due to rumors of some enterprises' production suspension [45]. - Technical Analysis: The hourly - level shows a downward structure. After a decline with reduced positions, the upper short - term pressure is at 1245. It is recommended to hold short positions cautiously with a stop - profit at 1245 [45]. Caustic Soda - Logic: The pattern of high supply and high inventory continues, and there is no upward drive in supply - demand [46]. - Technical Analysis: The hourly - level shows a downward structure. After intraday fluctuations, the downward structure remains unchanged. The upper short - term pressure is at 2400. It is recommended to wait and see in the hourly cycle [46].

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core View of the Report - In the short - term, crude oil is likely to continue oscillating as it lacks both short - term supply - demand and geopolitical drivers. After the Venezuelan situation develops, there may be an opportunity for a high - level short position this year. Among the energy and chemical products, polyester is hyped for supply cuts. Styrene has short - term supply - demand improvement but significant medium - term supply pressure. Methanol has clear medium - term upward drivers and can be considered a long - position core variety [1]. Summary by Directory Crude Oil - Logic: From this year to the first quarter of next year, the pressure of crude oil supply surplus is still significant. However, due to the low - level inventory and the delay of the expected supply shock, combined with the digestion of previous short - term geopolitical events, it will likely oscillate until new variables emerge. Pay attention to the Venezuelan situation for a high - level short - selling opportunity [3]. - Technical Analysis: It shows a medium - term downward structure on the daily line and a short - term oscillating structure on the hourly line. It oscillates during the day. The hourly cycle strategy suggests waiting and seeing [3]. Styrene - Logic: Recently, with more maintenance, the operating rate has dropped to the lowest in the same period in recent years, but the production is still at the highest in the same period. Although the inventory is in the seasonal destocking stage, the destocking rate is lower than in previous years. In the medium term, the situation is still pessimistic, especially in the first quarter of next year [5]. - Technical Analysis: It has a short - term downward structure on the hourly line. It oscillates during the day, with signs of short - position profit - taking. The upper short - term pressure is at 6345. It is recommended to take profit actively when geopolitical risks reappear and look for short - position re - entry opportunities after the daily - line rebound [8]. Rubber - Logic: Since August, the downward trend of rubber has been less smooth than that of synthetic rubber. The supply pressure of natural rubber is not obvious in the rainy season in Southeast Asia since October. The key is to focus on the driving effect of synthetic rubber [10]. - Technical Analysis: It shows a medium - term downward structure on the daily line and a short - term downward structure on the hourly line. It rebounds with reduced positions today, but the downward structure remains unchanged, and the upper short - term pressure is at 15170. The hourly - level strategy is to wait and see [11][13]. Synthetic Rubber - Logic: The main driver is the cost - end butadiene. Although the current inventory has not increased significantly, the high supply pressure of butadiene in the medium term will still be prominent. It is recommended to take profit on previous short positions and wait for a high - level short - selling opportunity after the crude oil rebound [16][18]. - Technical Analysis: It shows a medium - term downward structure on the daily line and a short - term downward structure on the hourly line. It rebounds with reduced positions today, and the upper short - term pressure is at 10500. It is recommended to take profit actively when geopolitical risks reappear and look for short - position re - entry opportunities after the daily - line rebound [18]. PX - Logic: There are few contradictions in polyester itself, but after the industry development symposium, there are many rumors of polyester industry production cuts, and the market has been trading with increasing positions. Pay attention to the realization of expectations [22]. - Technical Analysis: It has a short - term upward structure on the hourly line. It rises with increasing positions today, and the lower short - term support is at 6715. The hourly - level strategy is to wait and see [22]. PTA - Logic: Similar to PX, there are few contradictions in polyester itself, and pay attention to the realization of production - cut rumors [24]. - Technical Analysis: It has a short - term upward structure on the hourly line. It rises with reduced positions today, and the lower short - term support is at 4620. The hourly - level strategy is to wait and see [24]. PP - Logic: After the commissioning of the Guangxi Petrochemical plant, the supply pressure increases, and the downstream demand recovery is limited. Pay attention to the cost - end crude oil drive [27]. - Technical Analysis: It has a short - term downward structure on the hourly line. It oscillates during the day, and the upper short - term pressure is at 6530. It is recommended to take profit actively when geopolitical risks reappear [27]. Methanol - Logic: The current high - supply, high - import, and high - inventory situation continues, and the market is still in the bottom - finding stage. For short - sellers, it is not advisable to chase short positions. For long - buyers, there are medium - term long - entry opportunities when the short - term structure changes and specific events occur [32]. - Technical Analysis: It shows a medium - term and short - term downward structure on the daily line. It rebounds after hitting a new low today, and the upper short - term pressure moves down to 2150. It is recommended to take profit on short positions at 2150 and look for long - entry opportunities after the short - term structure reverses [32]. PVC - Logic: The supply remains high, the domestic real - estate demand collapses, and the social inventory has reached the highest level in history. There is no upward driving force [35]. - Technical Analysis: It shows a medium - term downward structure on the daily line and a short - term downward structure on the hourly line. It oscillates during the day, and the upper short - term pressure moves down to 4640. The hourly - cycle short - position strategy can be held according to the technical analysis [35]. Ethylene Glycol - Logic: The supply is at a high level, and the supply pressure increases with new capacity. Be vigilant against short - term geopolitical risks in crude oil [37]. - Technical Analysis: It shows a medium - term and short - term downward structure on the daily and hourly lines respectively. It oscillates near the pressure level during the day, and the upper short - term pressure is at 3950. It is recommended to take profit actively when geopolitical risks reappear [37]. Plastic - Logic: After the commissioning of the Guangxi Petrochemical plant, the supply pressure increases, and the downstream demand in the peak season is weak. Be vigilant against short - term geopolitical risks in crude oil [39]. - Technical Analysis: It shows a medium - term and short - term downward structure on the daily and hourly lines respectively. It oscillates during the day, and the upper short - term pressure is at 6850. It is recommended to take profit actively when geopolitical risks reappear [39]. Soda Ash - Logic: The pattern of high supply and high inventory continues, and the downward driving force remains unchanged. There is a rebound today due to rumors of some enterprises' production suspension [44]. - Technical Analysis: It has a short - term downward structure on the hourly line. It oscillates during the day, and the upper short - term pressure is at 1245. The 15 - minute cycle structure turns bullish, and the hourly level shows resistance to decline. It is recommended to hold the remaining short positions cautiously with 1245 as the profit - taking level [44]. Caustic Soda - Logic: The pattern of high supply and high inventory continues, and there is no upward driving force in supply - demand [45]. - Technical Analysis: It has a short - term downward structure on the hourly line. It oscillates during the day, and the upper short - term pressure is at 2400. The hourly - level strategy is to wait and see [45].

Report Industry Investment Rating - No specific industry investment rating is provided in the report. Core View of the Report - Asian low - sulfur fuel oil market structure remains stable with mild recovery in downstream bunker activities, but the spot spread of 0.5% sulfur marine fuel has reached the largest discount in over a week; Asian high - sulfur fuel oil market is supported by stable downstream bunker demand, but competitive quotes for November shipments suppress the spot spread [3]. - Singapore high - sulfur fuel oil has a price of 363.42 dollars/ton with a basis of - 55 yuan/ton, and low - sulfur fuel oil has a price of 447.83 dollars/ton with a basis of - 12 yuan/ton, showing a spot discount to futures [3]. - Singapore fuel oil inventory in the week of November 5 was 2106.9 million barrels, an increase of 14 million barrels [3]. - The price is near the 20 - day line, with the 20 - day line trending downward [3]. - High - sulfur main positions are short, with an increase in short positions; low - sulfur main positions are long, with an increase in long positions [3]. - Crude oil has a small intraday increase, the bunker market lacks actual positive factors, and downstream players remain on the sidelines.

Core Insights - The gold market in November 2025 is characterized by "high-level consolidation and tug-of-war between bulls and bears," with international gold prices testing the $4000 per ounce mark repeatedly [1] - The recent tax policy changes and brand premium differentiation have led to a three-tier pricing system in the domestic market, impacting the wholesale market significantly [4] Group 1: Market Dynamics - The new tax policy exempts standard gold traded through the Shanghai Gold Exchange and futures exchanges from VAT, while off-market transactions incur a 13% VAT, affecting the Shenzhen Shui Bei wholesale market [4] - The price gap between Shui Bei market gold and brand retail prices has narrowed to approximately 90 yuan per gram due to increased costs for some merchants [4] - Major banks like ICBC and CCB have paused gold accumulation services, raising concerns about liquidity tightening, although ICBC quickly resumed operations, indicating a focus on "regulating transactions" rather than "suppressing the market" [4] Group 2: Investment Sentiment - Despite ongoing uncertainties in the Middle East, market pricing of "extreme risks" has become more rational, with gold ETF holdings decreasing for four consecutive weeks, equivalent to a reduction of 69 tons of physical gold [4] - Speculative long positions have dropped to a three-month low, and the RSI indicator has decreased from 82 to 54, indicating a release of short-term overbought pressure [4] Group 3: Central Bank Support - Central bank gold purchases have become a long-term support factor, with global central banks acquiring 220 tons in Q3 2025, bringing the total for the year to 634 tons, nearing record levels from 2024 [4] - This "structural demand" effectively smooths out short-term volatility in the gold market [4] Group 4: Price Levels and Future Outlook - In the short term, gold prices need to test the support level of $3800 per ounce; a drop below this level could trigger programmatic selling [4] - The market is currently in a phase of "macro support versus technical pressure," with key variables to watch: 1. Federal Reserve policy: December rate cut probabilities have decreased by 25 basis points, but forward rate futures are pricing in a cumulative 50 basis point cut in 2025 [4] 2. Geopolitical risks: An escalation in the Middle East could reignite safe-haven demand [4] 3. Inflation persistence: The U.S. debt-to-GDP ratio has reached 123%, and if secondary inflation expectations rise, gold's inflation-hedging properties will become more pronounced [4]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating The report does not explicitly mention the industry investment rating. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The energy and chemical industry is expected to continue its oscillatory consolidation. Crude oil should be treated with an oscillatory mindset. PX is in a strong position, and the short - term price is expected to be oscillatory and slightly bullish. PTA's supply - demand pattern shows an improvement expectation, and the price is expected to be supported [3][14]. - Most products in the energy and chemical sector are expected to oscillate, with some showing a slightly bullish or bearish tendency in the short - term, depending on factors such as supply - demand relationships, cost changes, and market sentiment [3]. 3. Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Market Overview - On November 6, 2025, the Chinese A - share market rose, and the commodity market sentiment generally improved. PX and PTA in the energy and chemical sector performed well, with PX rising more than PTA, and TA's processing fee per ton dropping to 120 yuan/ton. The rise of aromatics is related to the high cracking spread of global gasoline, and there has been arbitrage from Asian blending products to the Americas recently. The downstream demand for polyester remains healthy, and the loom operating rate has increased week - on - week [2]. 3.2 Product - by - Product Analysis 3.2.1 Crude Oil - **Viewpoint**: Supply pressure persists, geopolitical risks remain, and the price is expected to oscillate. - **Main Logic**: Saudi Arabia has lowered the official selling price for Asia, corresponding to the downward shift of the Middle - East oil premium center in the past month. Russian refineries have been attacked, and the US refined oil inventory has decreased smoothly since October. The overseas gasoline and diesel markets remain strong, and the reduction of refined oil inventory pressure and the strong cracking spread support the crude oil demand. However, the continuous inventory build - up in reality is difficult to change, so the price oscillates [9]. 3.2.2 Asphalt - **Viewpoint**: The asphalt futures price may test the 3200 yuan/ton resistance level again. - **Main Logic**: OPEC+ is expected to continue increasing production in December, the Israel - Palestine conflict has ended, and the situation between the US and Venezuela is under control. The asphalt futures price has fallen below the important support level of 3200 yuan/ton, which may turn into a resistance level. The asphalt - fuel oil spread has fallen below 400 yuan/ton, the production schedule in November has decreased significantly, but the demand has entered the off - season. The supply shortage problem has been resolved, and the driving force for the high premium of asphalt has weakened. The pricing weight of asphalt futures has returned to Shandong, and the inventory build - up pressure is still large [11]. 3.2.3 High - Sulfur Fuel Oil - **Viewpoint**: The fuel oil is expected to oscillate weakly. - **Main Logic**: OPEC+ is expected to continue increasing production in December, the Israel - Palestine conflict has ended, but the premium on Russian products in Europe and the US still exists. The fuel oil supply in the Asia - Pacific region in November is expected to decrease due to the decline in Russian exports. However, the refinery processing demand is weak, and the fuel oil demand is still weak as it has entered the off - season [11]. 3.2.4 Low - Sulfur Fuel Oil - **Viewpoint**: The refined oil market is strong, and low - sulfur fuel oil may run strongly. - **Main Logic**: Low - sulfur fuel oil follows the weak oscillation of crude oil, and the 3500 yuan/ton resistance level is effective in the short - term. The main product attribute of low - sulfur fuel oil is strong, and the decline in Russian refined oil exports has driven the rebound of the gasoline and diesel cracking spread, supporting low - sulfur fuel oil. However, it faces negative factors such as the decline in shipping demand, green energy substitution, and high - sulfur substitution. The valuation of low - sulfur fuel oil is low, and it is expected to follow the movement of crude oil [13]. 3.2.5 Methanol - **Viewpoint**: The 2100 yuan/ton integer level provides some support, and methanol is expected to oscillate. - **Main Logic**: The methanol futures price oscillated on November 6. The domestic methanol factory operating rate remains high, resulting in sufficient supply. The port inventory is relatively high, which still suppresses the price in the short - term. However, considering the possible disturbances in Iran in winter, methanol still has long - buying value and should be treated with an oscillatory view in the short - term [28]. 3.2.6 Urea - **Viewpoint**: The export information has been confirmed, and urea is expected to oscillate strongly in the short - term. - **Main Logic**: On November 6, the supply - demand pattern of urea remained loose. Although the supply has returned to a high level after the end of plant maintenance, the demand is weak due to the end of winter wheat sowing. The high inventory pressure still exists, but the coal cost provides strong support. Combined with the speculation about export information in the market, urea is expected to oscillate strongly [28]. 3.2.7 Ethylene Glycol (EG) - **Viewpoint**: Supply and demand are under pressure, and the rebound height is limited under the fermentation of market sentiment. - **Main Logic**: The polyester chain products have strengthened, but EG's own supply - demand is weak, and the port inventory has continued to increase this week. The overall price elasticity of EG will be significantly suppressed in the medium - term. Although the factory operating rate of EG has decreased this week, providing some support to the price, the long - term inventory build - up pressure is large, and the rebound height is limited [20][21]. 3.2.8 PX - **Viewpoint**: PX is leading the polyester chain strongly, and the short - term market sentiment is enthusiastic. - **Main Logic**: The cost change is limited. There are rumors of production cuts and PX factory maintenance in the market, driving PX and PTA prices up. PX has been in a strong position in 2025, with continuous inventory reduction and tight spot liquidity. The supply of PX is expected to be tight in the first half of next year, and the positive growth of downstream demand supports PX demand to some extent [14]. 3.2.9 PTA - **Viewpoint**: After the meeting, PTA plants have stopped production in batches, and the market sentiment continues to ferment. - **Main Logic**: Affected by market news, the PTA futures price has strengthened significantly. Although it is difficult for enterprises to reach a coordinated production - cut agreement, there are many planned plant disturbances in November. The supply - demand pattern of PTA is expected to improve, and the downward compression space of the PTA processing spread is limited, but the upward space depends on whether there is more than expected production cut [14]. 3.2.10 Short - Fiber - **Viewpoint**: Caught between rising costs and falling demand expectations, the processing fee is passively compressed. - **Main Logic**: The price of upstream raw materials has risen due to capital speculation, and short - fiber has followed the cost increase but with a smaller increase, resulting in a passive compression of the processing fee. Although the downstream procurement has increased in the afternoon under the influence of market sentiment, the overall sales this week have been weak, and short - fiber has continued to accumulate inventory [22][23]. 3.2.11 Bottle - Chip - **Viewpoint**: It follows the rise of raw materials passively. - **Main Logic**: The upstream raw material futures have risen, driving some polyester bottle - chip factories to raise their prices. The market trading atmosphere is okay, and the processing fee is within a stable range [24][25]. 3.2.12 Polypropylene (PP) - **Viewpoint**: As the price drops, the trading volume increases, and PP is expected to oscillate. - **Main Logic**: The downstream trading volume has increased as the price drops. The price of crude oil oscillates, and OPEC+ has shown a cautious attitude towards increasing production. PP's own fundamental support is limited. As the peak season fades, the upstream and mid - stream still have the intention to reduce inventory at high prices, and the production pressure is large due to the decrease in maintenance and the increase in production capacity [31][32]. 3.2.13 Linear Low - Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) - **Viewpoint**: The downstream trading volume has increased, and LLDPE is expected to oscillate. - **Main Logic**: The LLDPE futures price oscillates. The price of crude oil oscillates, and OPEC+ has shown a cautious attitude towards increasing production. LLDPE's own fundamental support is limited. As the peak season fades, the upstream and mid - stream still have the intention to reduce inventory at high prices, and the production pressure is large due to the decrease in maintenance and the increase in production capacity [30]. 3.2.14 PVC - **Viewpoint**: The market sentiment has cooled down, and PVC is expected to oscillate weakly. - **Main Logic**: At the macro - level, the macro - disturbances in November have subsided. At the micro - level, the PVC fundamentals are under pressure, with stable costs. The upstream maintenance has ended in early November, and PVC production will increase. The downstream operating rate has recovered, but only the low - price procurement volume has increased. The PVC export order signing has weakened this week, and the anti - dumping measure suppresses the export expectation [34]. 3.2.15 Caustic Soda - **Viewpoint**: With low valuation and weak expectations, caustic soda is expected to oscillate. - **Main Logic**: At the macro - level, the macro - disturbances in November have subsided. At the micro - level, the fundamentals of caustic soda have improved this week, but the driving force for continuous improvement is limited. The alumina production capacity has decreased, the demand for caustic soda from Weiqiao is still high, the new alumina project in Guangxi in the first quarter of 2026 will boost the demand for caustic soda, the non - aluminum operating rate is stable, and the replenishment intention is not high. The maintenance of caustic soda plants will end in early November, and the production will increase month - on - month [35]. 3.3 Data Monitoring - **Inter - period Spreads**: The inter - period spreads of various products such as Brent, Dubai, PX, PTA, etc. have changed to different extents. For example, the 1 - 5 month spread of PX has increased by 22 yuan/ton [37]. - **Basis and Warehouse Receipts**: The basis and warehouse receipts of different products also show different changes.

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core View of the Report - Recently, the energy and chemical sector has diverged from the crude oil market, with the fundamentals driving the trend. Key products like synthetic rubber and styrene have hit new lows, and methanol has also shown a downward trend. Crude oil has rebounded recently due to geopolitical disturbances and short - term supply - demand factors. Given the high probability of a US military action against Venezuela, short - term geopolitical risks may resurface, and it is recommended to take profit on oil - chemical related positions and wait for opportunities to re - enter short positions [1]. Summary by Relevant Catalog Crude Oil - **Logic**: After digesting the impact of US sanctions on Russia, the medium - term logic is the downward pressure from the gradual realization of supply - demand surplus. However, the supply - demand logic has not been smoothly realized recently. The high probability of a US military action against Venezuela may bring a similar impact to the market as the bombing of Iran in July. It is recommended to take profit on short positions [2][3]. - **Technical Analysis**: It has a medium - term downward structure on the daily chart and a short - term oscillating structure on the hourly chart. It oscillated during the day. Short positions on the hourly cycle can be held according to technical analysis, with a stop - loss reference at 471, but it is recommended to stop loss and wait and see due to geopolitical risks [3]. Styrene - **Logic**: It is the most bearish product in the energy and chemical sector, with weak reality and weak expectations. The core logic is the continuous accumulation of factory and port inventories due to new device production and slow demand growth. There is a risk of price collapse under the pressure of over - inventory. The possible US military action against Venezuela may bring short - term emotional disturbances [6]. - **Technical Analysis**: It has a short - term downward structure on the hourly chart. After hitting a new low today, it rebounded with reduced positions at the end of the session. The short - term downward structure remains unchanged, with a short - term resistance at 6345. Short positions on the hourly cycle can be held according to technical analysis, but it is recommended to take profit and wait for a rebound on the daily chart to re - enter short positions due to geopolitical risks [6]. Rubber - **Logic**: Tire demand is stable, but the willingness to stock up is low due to inventory pressure and high raw material prices. The supply is expected to increase significantly in the fourth quarter. There is no obvious short - term contradiction, and there is a certain bullish driving force due to continuous inventory reduction recently. The pressure of inventory accumulation in the peak season should be monitored in the medium term [9]. - **Technical Analysis**: It has a medium - term downward structure on the daily chart and a short - term downward structure on the hourly chart. It increased in volume during the day and closed with a long Yang line after a slight reduction in positions at the end of the session. The downward structure remains unchanged, but the downward momentum has weakened, with a short - term resistance at 15170. It is recommended to wait and see on the hourly cycle [9]. Synthetic Rubber - **Logic**: The high supply pressure of butadiene rubber persists, but the supply - demand contradiction is gradually weakening due to stable tire demand. The main driving factor is the cost - side butadiene, whose high supply and high inventory situation has led to cost loosening and the product hitting a new low since listing. The possible US military action against Venezuela may bring short - term emotional disturbances [13]. - **Technical Analysis**: It has a medium - term downward structure on the daily chart and a short - term downward structure on the hourly chart. It rebounded with a long Yang line and reduced positions today. The short - term downward structure remains unchanged, with a short - term resistance at 10520. Short positions on the hourly cycle can be held according to technical analysis, but it is recommended to take profit and wait for a rebound on the daily chart to re - enter short positions due to geopolitical risks [13]. PX - **Logic**: High profits drive high - level operation, with sufficient supply and stable demand. The main logic is to follow the fluctuations of crude oil. Attention should be paid to whether there are production - reduction measures in the polyester industry meeting [15]. - **Technical Analysis**: It has a short - term upward structure on the hourly chart. It showed abnormal growth with increased positions in the afternoon, and the short - term upward trend may accelerate, with a short - term support at 6560. It is recommended to wait and see on the hourly cycle [15]. PTA - **Logic**: There is no significant supply - demand contradiction. The main logic is to follow the cost fluctuations of crude oil. Attention should be paid to whether there are production - reduction measures in the polyester industry meeting [19]. - **Technical Analysis**: It has a short - term upward structure on the hourly chart. It showed abnormal growth with increased positions in the afternoon, and the short - term structure has reversed, with a short - term support at 4550. It is recommended to wait and see on the hourly cycle [19]. PP - **Logic**: The commissioning of the Guangxi Petrochemical plant has increased the supply pressure, and the downstream demand recovery is limited. The supply - demand expectation is weak, and attention should be paid to the downward pressure on the cost side brought by the decline of crude oil [23]. - **Technical Analysis**: It has a short - term downward structure on the hourly chart. It oscillated during the day, rebounded with reduced positions after hitting a new low. The short - term resistance is at 6530. Short positions on the hourly cycle can be held according to technical analysis, but it is recommended to take profit due to geopolitical risks [23]. Methanol - **Logic**: High supply and high inventory have been pressing down, but as Iran enters the heating season, the short - term buying opportunity is approaching. The possible US military action against Venezuela may have a limited impact on methanol, but it is recommended to take profit on previous short positions [25]. - **Technical Analysis**: It has a medium - term and short - term downward structure on the daily and hourly charts respectively. It oscillated during the day, with a short - term resistance at 2210. It may stabilize in the short term after two consecutive days of rebound with reduced positions. Short positions on the hourly cycle can be held according to technical analysis, and the stop - profit should be moved down to 2150. It is recommended to take profit due to geopolitical risks [25]. PVC - **Logic**: The supply remains at a high level, the domestic real - estate demand has collapsed, and the social inventory has accumulated to the highest level in history. The high - production, high - inventory, and weak - demand structure makes it difficult to have an upward driving force [27]. - **Technical Analysis**: It has a medium - term downward structure on the daily chart and a short - term downward structure on the hourly chart. It oscillated during the day, with a short - term resistance at 4660. Short positions on the hourly cycle can be held according to technical analysis [27]. Ethylene Glycol - **Logic**: The supply is at a high level, and the supply pressure will further increase with new capacity. The continuous inventory accumulation recently has increased the downward driving force on the market. However, short - term geopolitical risks in crude oil should be vigilant [31]. - **Technical Analysis**: It has a medium - term downward structure on the daily chart and a short - term downward structure on the hourly chart. It oscillated during the day, with a short - term resistance at 3950. Short positions on the hourly cycle can be held according to technical analysis, but it is recommended to take profit due to geopolitical risks [31]. Plastic - **Logic**: The commissioning of the Guangxi Petrochemical plant has increased the supply pressure, and the downstream demand in the peak season is weak.

However, short - term geopolitical risks in crude oil should be vigilant [34]. - **Technical Analysis**: It has a medium - term downward structure on the daily chart and a short - term downward structure on the hourly chart. It oscillated during the day, with a short - term resistance at 6850. Short positions on the hourly cycle can be held according to technical analysis, but it is recommended to take profit due to geopolitical risks [34]. Soda Ash - **Logic**: The high - supply and high - inventory situation persists. The demand has further weakened due to the planned maintenance of 4 production lines in the glass industry on the weekend. The downward driving force of the fundamentals remains unchanged [36]. - **Technical Analysis**: It has a short - term downward structure on the hourly chart. It oscillated during the day and was in an oscillating state on the 15 - minute cycle, with a short - term resistance at 1245. Remaining short positions on the hourly cycle can be held [36]. Caustic Soda - **Logic**: The high - level operation continues, and the supply pressure increases with new capacity. The profit of downstream alumina is under pressure, and the demand growth is limited. The supply - demand driving force remains weak under the high - inventory situation compared with the same period [40]. - **Technical Analysis**: It has a short - term downward structure on the hourly chart. It rebounded with reduced positions today, but the short - term downward structure remains unchanged, with a short - term resistance at 2400. It is recommended to wait and see on the hourly cycle [40].

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided on industry investment rating 2. Report's Core View - The crude oil 2512 contract is expected to run weakly, with short - term and medium - term trends being oscillatory and oscillatory - weak respectively, and the intraday trend also being oscillatory - weak [1][5] 3. Summary by Related Catalogs 3.1 Time - period Views - **Short - term**: The crude oil 2512 contract shows an oscillatory trend [1] - **Medium - term**: The crude oil 2512 contract shows an oscillatory - weak trend [1] - **Intraday**: The crude oil 2512 contract shows an oscillatory - weak trend [1][5] 3.2 Price and Driving Logic - After the meeting between the leaders of China and the US, the overall results were slightly lower than market expectations. As the macro - bullish sentiment was digested, the driving force of macro factors weakened, and there was a profit - taking phenomenon. The escalation of the South American geopolitical conflict due to the US troop increase in the Caribbean Sea last weekend boosted the international crude oil premium, which hedged geopolitical risks to some extent. On Wednesday night, the domestic crude oil futures 2512 contract maintained an oscillatory - weak trend, with the futures price slightly down 0.95% to 457.7 yuan/barrel. It is expected that on Thursday, the contract will maintain an oscillatory - weak trend [5]
