PP2601 closed at 6480 yuan/ton, up 25 yuan/ton (0.39%). The futures market opened higher, but the market trading atmosphere was not significantly boosted. Traders focused on selling, and downstream buyers made small and cautious purchases at low prices [6] - There are no new production plans in November. The products from previous production have entered the market, significantly increasing the supply of spot resources and intensifying the imbalance between supply and demand. The operating rate of the agricultural film industry has peaked seasonally and declined. The demand for pipes has increased first and then decreased. The operating rate of the PP woven bag industry has been boosted by packaging demand, while BOPP enterprises are mainly digesting inventory, and the subsequent orders are expected to weaken, mostly short - term small orders. The support for raw materials has weakened [6] - The expectation of oversupply in the crude oil market has resurfaced, leading to a sharp decline in oil prices. The cost side has led the decline and weakened the support for the plastic and chemical sectors. The downward pressure on polyolefin prices is expected to continue [6] Group 4: Industry News - On November 13, 2025, the inventory level of major producers was 665,000 tons, a decrease of 25,000 tons (3.62%) from the previous working day. The inventory at the same time last year was 670,000 tons [7] - The PE market prices have partially declined. The LLDPE prices in North China are in the range of 6750 - 7000 yuan/ton, in East China 6900 - 7400 yuan/ton, and in South China 7000 - 7400 yuan/ton [7] - The mainstream price of propylene in the Shandong market is temporarily in the range of 5760 - 5800 yuan/ton, up 15 yuan/ton from the previous working day. The market is in a state of supply - demand game, and the directional trend is still unclear. Downstream factories are cautious about purchasing, and production enterprises are mainly stabilizing prices for sales, with a small number of offers rising slightly [7] - The PP market has remained generally stable with minor fluctuations. The mainstream prices of North China drawn yarn are in the range of 6200 - 6450 yuan/ton, in East China 6300 - 6600 yuan/ton, and in South China 6400 - 6540 yuan/ton [7] Group 5: Data Overview - The report includes figures such as L basis, PP basis, L - PP spread, crude oil futures main contract settlement price, two - oil inventory, and two - oil inventory year - on - year increase/decrease rate, with data sources from Wind and Zhuochuang Information [9][13][16]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The supply - side shows that refineries have reduced production, alleviating supply pressure. The demand is currently below the historical average level. The cost support is expected to weaken in the short - term, and the asphalt futures price is expected to fluctuate narrowly in the range of 3005 - 3053 for the 2601 contract [8]. - There are both positive and negative factors in the market. The positive factor is that the relatively high crude oil cost provides some support, while the negative factors include insufficient demand for high - price goods and a downward trend in overall demand with an increasing expectation of an economic recession in Europe and the United States [10][11]. 3.

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings No industry investment ratings are provided in the reports. 2. Core Views Zinc - The fundamentals and macro - environment have limited changes. The supply is generally loose, and the subsequent supply pressure may be limited due to the decline in smelting profits. The demand is average, and the domestic zinc ingot remains at a discount. The LME zinc has upward pressure, while the export window of zinc ingots may boost the domestic zinc price. The Shanghai - London ratio may be repaired, with the main contract referring to 22300 - 23000 [2]. Copper - After the implementation of interest - rate cuts and tariffs, the market may enter a macro "vacuum period" in November. The supply of copper ore is in short supply, and the downstream demand has strong resilience. The medium - and long - term supply - demand contradiction supports the upward movement of the copper price bottom. The main contract refers to 86500 - 88000 [4]. Tin - The supply of tin ore is tight, and the demand shows regional differentiation. The fundamentals are strong, and long positions should be held. Attention should be paid to macro - level changes and the supply recovery in Myanmar [7]. Aluminum - The alumina market is in a state of loose supply and demand, and the price is expected to maintain a weak shock pattern. The electrolytic aluminum market is driven by the macro - environment, but the fundamentals are weak. The aluminum price will fluctuate between macro - level benefits and weak fundamentals in the short term, and attention should be paid to the risk of high - level callback [9]. Aluminum Alloy - The cost of aluminum alloy is strongly supported, and the demand is differentiated. The inventory is accumulating. The ADC12 price is expected to maintain a strong shock pattern, with the main contract referring to 20800 - 21400 [11]. Nickel - The nickel market is in a state of long - short interweaving. The refined nickel production is at a high level, and the supply of nickel ore is generally stable. The nickel - iron price is under pressure, and the stainless - steel demand is weak. The nickel price is expected to maintain a weak shock pattern, with the main contract referring to 118000 - 124000 [13]. Stainless Steel - The stainless - steel market is in a weak shock state. The macro - level drive is weakened, the nickel - ore market is temporarily stable, and the nickel - iron price is under pressure. The supply is under pressure, and the demand is insufficient. The price is expected to continue to be weak and volatile, with the main contract referring to 12400 - 12800 [16]. Lithium Carbonate - The lithium carbonate market is running strongly. The supply is increasing, and the demand is optimistic. The short - term supply and demand are expected to increase simultaneously, but attention should be paid to the sustainability of demand improvement. The price may fluctuate and adjust in the short term [17]. Industrial Silicon - The industrial silicon spot price is stable, and the futures price is falling. If the organic silicon enterprises cut production, the inventory pressure will increase. The price is expected to fluctuate at a low level, with the main price range being 8500 - 9500 [18]. Polysilicon - The polysilicon spot price is stable, and the futures price is rising. The supply and demand are both weak. The price is expected to fluctuate in a high - level range. Attention should be paid to the support of the spot price and the digestion of warehouse receipts [19]. 3.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The mid - term outlook for the industry is "oscillation" [6] 2. Core View of the Report - The contradictions in the black产业链 are still limited, and the steel market continues the pattern of weak supply and demand in the off - season. The inventory of rebar is decreasing, while the destocking of hot - rolled coils is not smooth. The increase in Tangshan's hot metal production corresponds to the previous concentrated resumption of blast furnaces, but considering the arrival of the maintenance season, hot metal output is expected to decline, and iron ore inventory will continue to increase marginally. Coke has no prominent contradictions and maintains a small - scale destocking. Although coking coal inventory has increased, it is mainly in the Mongolian coal import segment, and the overall inventory is low, so the downward pressure on coal prices is limited. Overall, the current industry's supply - demand situation is weakening marginally, and the short - term oscillation trend remains unchanged. If there are still positive releases from the macro and policy fronts in the later stage, attention can be paid to potential phased upward opportunities [2][6] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Iron Element - After the resumption of work in Tangshan's blast furnaces last week, the output of hot metal in Tangshan has increased, driving up the national hot metal output. However, with the arrival of the steel mill maintenance season, especially in northern steel mills, maintenance plans have been announced one after another. Therefore, it is expected that hot metal output will continue to decline, and iron ore is likely to accumulate inventory, putting pressure on ore prices. In the short term, ore prices will maintain an oscillatory operation. The fundamentals of scrap steel show weak supply and demand, and it is expected that the short - term spot price will oscillate following the finished products [2] 3.2 Carbon Element - After the lifting of environmental protection restrictions, steel mills are still actively producing, and the demand for coke is still supported. Coupled with strong cost support, the expectation of a fourth round of price increases is high. The coke futures price is expected to oscillate following coking coal. The supply of coking coal is expected to remain tight. Although Mongolian coal imports may remain at a high level, the supplementary effect is limited. Although the downstream procurement is gradually slowing down, the fundamentals are still healthy, and the spot coal price is strongly supported. However, the futures price is still suppressed by finished products, and it is expected that coking coal prices will oscillate [3] 3.3 Alloys - In the short term, the firm cost supports the price of ferromanganese - silicon, but the market supply - demand situation is loose, and there is insufficient driving force for price increases. The short - term cost trend supports the price of ferrosilicon, but the market supply - demand relationship is also relatively loose, and the price is expected to operate at a low level around the cost [3] 3.4 Glass and Soda Ash - There are still expectations of supply disruptions, but the inventory of the middle and lower reaches is moderately high. Fundamentally, the current supply - demand is still in surplus. If there is no more cold - repair by the end of the year, the high inventory will always suppress the price, and it is expected to oscillate weakly; otherwise, the price will rise. The cost of the soda ash industry has increased, and the bottom support is obvious. However, the surplus supply - demand pattern always suppresses price increases. Recently, the weakening of glass prices has dragged down the expected price of soda ash. In the short term, it is expected to oscillate, and in the long term, the surplus supply pattern will intensify, and the price center will continue to decline, promoting capacity reduction [3][6][14] 3.5 Specific Product Analysis 3.5.1 Steel - The fundamentals show weak supply and demand, and the futures price oscillates at a low level. The spot market trading is average, mainly with low - price transactions. Recently, the profits of steel mills and electric furnaces are poor, the steel production has decreased significantly, and the demand has also declined. The overall steel inventory continues to decrease, but the inventory level is still higher than the same period last year, and there are still contradictions in the fundamentals. In the off - season, the demand is under pressure to weaken, and the futures valuation is low, with limited downward space. Attention should be paid to the potential upward driving force from the macro and policy aspects [7] 3.5.2 Iron Ore - The hot metal output has significantly recovered, and the inventory continues to accumulate. The spot price has weakened. The overseas mine shipping is relatively stable, and the arrival of ships has decreased. The daily average hot metal output has recovered, but there is still a seasonal weakening expectation. The port inventory has increased, and the overall inventory pressure is gradually accumulating. Although there is a seasonal weakening expectation for hot metal, the short - term increase in hot metal and the un - released restocking demand may lead to a short - term oscillatory strengthening. Attention should be paid to market sentiment and hot metal demand changes [7] 3.5.3 Scrap Steel - The daily consumption of steel mills has slightly decreased, and the price oscillates. The supply of scrap steel has decreased, and the demand is also weak. The total daily consumption of 255 steel mills has slightly decreased, and the inventory has slightly accumulated. It is expected that the short - term spot price will oscillate following the finished products [8] 3.5.4 Coke - The supply continues to decline, and the hot metal output has increased. The futures price oscillates at a low level. The supply has decreased due to high costs, environmental protection requirements, and some coke oven maintenance. The demand has increased as some blast furnaces have resumed full - production. The upstream coke enterprise inventory remains low. In the off - season, the supply - demand is weak, but the demand support still exists, and the fundamentals have few contradictions. After the lifting of environmental protection restrictions, the demand for coke is still supported, and the expectation of a fourth - round price increase is high. The futures price is expected to oscillate following coking coal [8][10][11] 3.5.5 Coking Coal - The supply recovery is limited, and the upstream inventory has slightly increased. The futures price oscillates at a low level. The supply is still tight due to production capacity restrictions in some coal mines. The Mongolian coal import is at a high level, but the high - quality resources are still scarce. The coke production has declined, and the downstream procurement has slowed down, but the upstream coal mine inventory has slightly increased with little pressure. The spot price is still firm. It is expected that the coking coal supply will remain tight, and the price will oscillate [12] 3.5.6 Glass - The destocking this week is limited. Attention should be paid to whether supply reduction through cold - repair can promote upstream destocking. The macro environment is neutral. The short - term supply has decreased, but the demand is weak, and the inventory of the middle and lower reaches is high, suppressing the price. If there is no more cold - repair by the end of the year, the price is expected to oscillate weakly; otherwise, it will rise [14] 3.5.7 Soda Ash - The spot trading is good, and the futures price oscillates. The macro environment is neutral. The supply has limited changes, and the demand is stable. The industry is in the stage of clearing at the bottom of the cycle. The cost support has strengthened, but the downstream demand is declining, and the expected surplus is intensifying. In the short term, the price is expected to oscillate. In the long term, the surplus pattern will intensify, and the price center will decline [14] 3.5.8 Ferromanganese - Silicon - The tender price of HBIS is flat, and the supply pressure is difficult to relieve. The cost increase supports the bottom of the futures price, but the market supply - demand is loose, and the price increase driving force is insufficient. The downstream demand is expected to decline, and the new production capacity is about to be put into use, so the inventory pressure is difficult to relieve. It is expected that the futures price will operate at a low level around the cost [16] 3.5.9 Ferrosilicon - The pricing of HBIS has slightly increased, but the price is under pressure due to loose supply - demand. The cost support has strengthened, but the supply - demand pattern is loose, and the price increase driving force is limited. The production reduction is limited, and the market destocking is difficult. The downstream demand is expected to decline. It is expected that the futures price will operate at a low level around the cost [16][17] 3.6 Index Information - **Comprehensive Index**: The commodity index is 2269.39, up 0.47%; the commodity 20 index is 2577.33, up 0.54%; the industrial product index is 2223.17, down 0.01%; the PPI commodity index is 1352.02, up 0.54% [100] - **Plate Index**: The steel industry chain index on November 13, 2025, is 1983.80, with a daily decline of 0.04%, a decline of 0.30% in the past 5 days, an increase of 0.57% in the past month, and a decline of 5.90% since the beginning of the year [101]

Group 1: Report Summary - The report provides daily futures analysis from Goldtrust Futures on November 14, 2025, covering multiple futures including soda ash, stock index, gold, iron ore, glass, methanol, and pulp [1][2] - The overall view is that the soda ash market is in a state of cost support and oversold rebound, and investors should seize long - position opportunities. For other futures, different trading strategies are proposed based on their fundamentals and technical aspects [3][5] Group 2: Soda Ash Futures - On November 13, the soda ash futures 2601 contract closed at 1,229 yuan/ton, up 23 yuan or 1.89%, with a trading volume of 1.2939 million lots, showing a trend of rising price and volume [3] - The rise is due to cost support and technical repair, not a fundamental reversal of the supply - demand pattern. High supply and high inventory remain the core contradictions, with national soda ash inventory above 1.7 million tons, and weak demand in the glass industry [3][4] - Technically, the contract showed support at around 1,186 yuan, and recent KD and MACD indicators formed golden crosses, boosting short - term bullish sentiment [4] Group 3: Stock Index Futures - The stock index futures closed with a positive line. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology promotes the expansion of power battery applications and supports innovation in battery - swapping models and vehicle - grid interaction pilots. OPEC's monthly report indicates a potential oversupply in the global oil market next year [8] - It is expected that the market will continue to fluctuate higher in the short term [8] Group 4: Gold Futures - After a period of adjustment, gold shows signs of rising again, and investors can buy on dips [13] Group 5: Iron Ore Futures - Iron ore is in the process of finding a bottom, with weak domestic demand support. Technically, it has broken through important support and may enter a technical short - position trend. The strategy is to short on rebounds [15] - With the commissioning of the Simandou project, the expectation of supply surplus is further fermented. On the demand side, except for exports, the real estate and infrastructure sectors are still sluggish [16] Group 6: Glass Futures - The daily melting volume of glass has little change, and inventory has decreased this week. The subsequent drivers mainly depend on policy - side stimulus and anti - involution policies for the supply side [20] - Technically, it has broken through the support level and shows no sign of stabilization, so it should be regarded as bearish with fluctuations [19] Group 7: Methanol Futures - This week, methanol inventory at ports in East China has accumulated, with a good unloading speed. In the cycle, rigid demand pick - up in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is stable month - on - month, and there is support from trans - shipment vessels in the Yangtze River area. In South China, inventory has slightly decreased [22] - Investors can seize short - term long - position opportunities [22] Group 8: Pulp Futures - In October, pulp imports decreased month - on - month, and domestic port inventory showed a downward trend, but the supply in the market is still abundant. The sporadic publication bidding of cultural paper has boosted market confidence, but the social demand is flat, and paper mills' gross profit continues to decline. The futures market has shown a volatile rebound recently [25]

Report Summary 1) Report Industry Investment Ratings - The report does not explicitly provide overall industry investment ratings. However, it gives outlooks for various commodities, including "看多" (bullish) for copper, nickel, stainless steel, and soybeans, and "震荡" (sideways) for most other commodities such as aluminum, zinc, gold, silver, etc. [1] 2) Core Views - The A-share market is currently in a relatively vacuous macro environment, lacking a clear upward trend. It is in a sideways movement, accumulating momentum for the next upward move. With policy support and ample macro - liquidity, the stock index has strong downside support. [1] - The bond futures are favored by the asset shortage and weak economy, but the central bank's short - term interest rate risk warning restricts the upside. [1] - For commodities, different factors affect their prices. For example, high copper prices suppress downstream demand, but the increasing acceptance of copper prices by downstream and improved macro sentiment may lead to a stronger copper price. [1] 3) Summary by Commodity Categories Macro - Financial - The A - share market is in a sideways trend, accumulating energy for an upward move. With policy and liquidity support, the downside of the stock index is limited. Asset shortage and weak economy are favorable for bond futures, but short - term interest rate risk warnings restrict the upside. [1] Non - Ferrous Metals - **Copper**: High copper prices suppress downstream demand, but the increasing acceptance of copper prices by downstream and improved macro sentiment may lead to a stronger copper price. [1] - **Aluminum**: Limited industrial drivers recently, but improved macro sentiment leads to a stronger aluminum price. [1] - **Alumina**: With production still having a small profit, domestic alumina production capacity is continuously released, resulting in a double - increase in production and inventory, and a weak fundamental pattern. [1] - **Zinc**: There is still a risk of a squeeze in LME zinc, and the zinc price is expected to remain high. However, due to the domestic supply surplus, caution is needed when chasing high prices. [1] - **Nickel**: The US Senate's progress on ending the government shutdown causes fluctuations in market risk appetite. Indonesia restricts nickel - related smelting project approvals. The nickel price may fluctuate in the short term, and high inventory pressure should be watched out for. [1] - **Stainless Steel**: The price of raw material ferronickel weakens, and the social inventory of stainless steel decreases slightly. Steel mills' production in November decreases. The stainless steel futures are looking for a bottom in a sideways movement. [1] - **Tin**: The raw material end has not recovered, and the new demand is expected to be good. It is recommended to pay attention to buying opportunities on dips in the medium - to - long term. [1] Precious Metals and New Energy - **Gold**: Supported by the dual - liquidity easing expectations of the US fiscal and monetary policies, but there are still differences within the Fed regarding a December interest rate cut. The gold price may fluctuate in a high - level range. [1] - **Silver**: Boosted by liquidity, the silver price may be stronger in the short term. [1] - **Industrial Silicon**: Northwest production capacity is recovering, and the impact of the dry season is weakening. Polysilicon production in November is decreasing. [1] - **Polysilicon**: There is an expectation of production capacity reduction in the long term, and the terminal installation in the fourth quarter is increasing marginally. [1] - **Lithium Carbonate**: The traditional peak season for new energy vehicles is approaching, and the energy storage demand is strong, but there is high hedging pressure. [1] Steel and Iron - **Rebar**: There are concerns about potential weakening of industrial demand in the off - season. After the macro sentiment is realized, attention should be paid to the upward pressure on prices. [1] - **Hot Rolled Coil**: The off - season effect is not obvious, but the industrial structure is still loose. Attention should be paid to the upward pressure on prices after the macro sentiment is realized. [1] - **Iron Ore**: The near - month contract is restricted by production cuts, but the far - month contract still has upward potential due to good commodity sentiment. [1] - **Coking Coal and Coke**: Coking coal is struggling at the previous high. Coke's price includes the expectation of five rounds of price increases, but the steel - coking game is intense. It is recommended to wait and see in the short term and go long at low levels in the medium - to - long term. [1] Agricultural Products - **Palm Oil**: A 4% production cut in Malaysia in early November fails to drive inventory reduction, and the domestic supply in the fourth quarter is relatively loose. [1] - **Soybean Oil**: China's commitment to purchase US soybeans has no substantial impact on soybean oil, and the domestic inventory is decreasing. It is recommended to be long in arbitrage. [1] - **Cotton**: The new domestic cotton harvest is expected to be good, and the purchase price supports the cost of lint. The downstream demand is weak, but there is rigid restocking demand. The cotton market is currently in a situation of "having support but no driver". [1] - **Sugar**: The global sugar supply changes from shortage to surplus, and the domestic new - crop supply pressure increases year - on - year. The Zhengzhou sugar price is expected to follow the decline of the raw sugar price. [1] - **Corn**: The short - term market has a strong willingness to purchase high - quality corn, and the spot price is firm. The upward movement of the futures price lacks strong drivers before the supply pressure is fully released. [1] - **Soybeans**: The domestic soybean purchase and crushing profit is poor, and the purchase progress for the 12 - 1 ship is slow. The domestic futures are expected to follow the US market and move sideways and strongly before the USDA report. [1] Energy and Chemicals - **Crude Oil**: OPEC+ plans to maintain a small increase in production in December. The short - term geopolitical situation cools down, and the market sentiment eases. [1] - **Fuel Oil**: Similar to crude oil, affected by OPEC+ production plans, geopolitical situation, and market sentiment. [1] - **Asphalt**: The raw material cost has strong support, the futures - spot price difference is low, and the commodity market sentiment is positive. [1] - **Natural Rubber**: The cost of butadiene provides insufficient support, the synthetic rubber supply is loose, and the price has stopped falling recently. [1] - **PTA**: Gasoline profit and low benzene price support PX. Overseas and domestic device problems lead to a decline in PTA production. [1] - **Ethylene Glycol**: The ethylene glycol price follows the decline of the crude oil price, and the coal - based cost support strengthens slightly. [1] - **Short Fiber**: The short - fiber price closely follows the cost due to the support of PX and the strengthening of the basis. [1] - **Benzene and Styrene**: The Asian benzene price is weak, the US benzene price rises, and the number of styrene overhauls increases. [1] - **Urea**: The export sentiment eases, the domestic demand is insufficient, but there is support from anti -内卷 policies and the cost end. [1] - **PP**: New production capacity is released, the overhaul intensity weakens, and the downstream improvement is less than expected. [1] - **PVC**: The market returns to fundamentals, the number of overhauls increases slightly, but demand weakens. [1] - **Caustic Soda**: Guangxi alumina starts delivery, the subsequent overhaul concentration decreases, the caustic soda inventory decreases, and there is a risk of a squeeze in the near - month contract. [1] - **LPG**: The international oil and gas fundamentals are loose, the CP/FEI price weakens, and the domestic LPG fundamentals are stable. [1] Shipping - **Container Shipping to Europe**: The macro - positive sentiment is gradually digested, the peak - season price increase expectation is priced in advance, and the shipping capacity supply in November is relatively loose. [1]

The basis of LL in North China and East China is 12 yuan/ton (-28) and 62 yuan/ton (-28) respectively, and the basis of PP in East China is 20 yuan/ton (-51) [2] - **Upstream Supply**: The PE operating rate is 82.6% (+1.7%), and the PP operating rate is 77.8% (+0.7%) [2] - **Production Profit**: The PE oil - based production profit is 101.2 yuan/ton (-82.1), the PP oil - based production profit is - 488.8 yuan/ton (-82.1), and the PDH - based PP production profit is - 105.8 yuan/ton (+1.9) [2] - **Imports and Exports**: The LL import profit is - 72.5 yuan/ton (+2.5), the PP import profit is - 165.6 yuan/ton (+2.4), and the PP export profit is - 5.7 US dollars/ton (-0.3) [2] - **Downstream Demand**: The operating rate of PE downstream agricultural film is 50.0% (+0.4%), the operating rate of PE downstream packaging film is 50.8% (-0.5%), the operating rate of PP downstream plastic weaving is 44.5% (+0.3%), and the operating rate of PP downstream BOPP film is 62.5% (+0.9%) [2] 3.2 Market Analysis - **PE**: The pattern of strong supply and weak demand persists. The supply pressure is large due to high operating rates, new capacity releases, and some device restarts. The downstream demand is limited, with the agricultural film's demand expected to shrink and the packaging film's operating rate declining. The cost support from oil prices is weak, and PE is expected to maintain an oscillation and consolidation pattern in the short - term [3] - **PP**: There are still supply - demand contradictions. The cost support has strengthened slightly, but the supply surplus pattern remains. The downstream demand has a slow recovery, and the demand support is limited. PP is expected to continue an oscillation and weakening pattern in the short - term, but the downward drive is also limited [4] 3.3 Strategy - **Unilateral**: Adopt a wait - and - see approach; the market may maintain a bottom - oscillation pattern in the short - term [5] - **Inter - delivery Spread**: Consider reverse arbitrage when the L01 - 05 and PP01 - 05 spreads are high [5] - **Inter - commodity Spread**: No relevant strategy provided [5]

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings No information about industry investment ratings is provided in the content. 2. Core Views of the Reports Tin - Market sentiment has improved, and the fundamentals are strong. Hold long positions and monitor macro - end changes and the supply recovery in Myanmar in the fourth quarter. If Myanmar's supply recovers smoothly, tin prices may weaken; otherwise, they are expected to remain strong [2]. Industrial Silicon - The spot price of industrial silicon is stable, while the futures price fluctuates downward. In November, there is still a risk of inventory accumulation, but the pressure is reduced compared to October. The price is expected to fluctuate at a low level, with the main price range between 8,500 - 9,500 yuan/ton [4]. Polysilicon - The market remains in a state of high - level price fluctuations. There is an expectation of inventory accumulation in all links. Pay attention to the support level of the spot price, the establishment of the platform company, production control, and demand - side orders. For trading, focus on the 50,000 support level for futures, and hold and observe ETFs/related stocks [5]. Copper - The copper market is in a wait - and - see mode. Macro factors such as interest rate cuts, tariffs, and overseas liquidity will affect copper prices. Fundamentally, the supply of copper ore is tight, and downstream demand is resilient. The bottom of copper prices is expected to gradually rise, with the main contract focusing on the 86,500 support level [8]. Zinc - The fundamentals and macro factors of zinc have limited changes. The supply is expected to face less pressure, and the demand is average. The LME zinc price has an upper - bound pressure, while the export of zinc ingots may boost domestic zinc prices. The main contract of Shanghai zinc is expected to range between 22,300 - 23,000 [10]. Nickel - The nickel market is in a state of long - short entanglement. Macro factors exert pressure, and the supply of refined nickel is high. The supply of nickel ore is stable, and the price of nickel - iron is under pressure. The market is expected to fluctuate weakly, with the main contract ranging between 118,000 - 124,000 [11]. Stainless Steel - The stainless - steel market is weak. Macro driving forces are weakening, the supply of nickel ore is stable, and the price of nickel - iron is under pressure. The supply is still under pressure, and demand is insufficient. The market is expected to fluctuate weakly, with the main contract ranging between 12,400 - 12,800 [12]. Aluminum Alloy - The casting aluminum - alloy market has reached a new high. The cost is strongly supported, but demand is weak due to high prices. Inventory is accumulating. The price of ADC12 is expected to fluctuate strongly, with the main contract ranging between 20,800 - 21,400 yuan/ton [15][17]. Lithium Carbonate - The lithium - carbonate market fluctuates widely. The supply is gradually increasing, and demand is optimistic. The price is expected to fluctuate in the short term. Pay attention to the resumption of production of large factories and downstream demand changes [20]. Aluminum - The alumina market is in a weak - supply and weak - demand situation, with prices expected to fluctuate weakly. The electrolytic aluminum market is driven by macro factors, with strong capital sentiment but weak fundamentals. The price may test the 22,000 pressure level [21]. 3.

Report Industry Investment Ratings - No investment ratings were provided in the reports. Core Views Polyolefin Industry - PP shows both increasing supply and demand. Supply rises due to fewer maintenance shutdowns, and demand remains resilient in sectors like automotive and home appliances. However, there is a slight inventory build - up this week under the pressure of new production capacity. PE has weak supply and demand. Although unplanned maintenance eases supply pressure, imported goods are still abundant, and demand outside of agricultural films generally declines. There is overall insufficient support, and while inventory decreased this week, port inventory remains high. The cost side shows oil prices fluctuating and coal prices rising, with a slight improvement in PDH profits. High inventory and cost support continue to compete, and market expectations remain weak [2]. Methanol Industry - The Iranian gas restriction has been postponed. As of November 12th, Iran's shipments reached 430,000 tons, maintaining a relatively high level, putting significant pressure on the port methanol market. Prices and basis are weakly oscillating. In the inland market, Jiutai had an unexpected maintenance, but subsequent domestic production will continue to increase. Overseas gas restriction is less than expected. On the demand side, multiple MTO units reduced their loads due to profit reasons, and traditional downstream industries made rigid - demand purchases. The current market is trading under the "weak reality" logic, with the core contradiction being high port inventory. The inventory contradiction of the 01 contract cannot be resolved, and the weak reality will continue to be traded before the Iranian gas restriction [6]. Natural Rubber Industry - On the supply side, there are still occasional rainfall disruptions in overseas production areas, but overall, the output during the peak season is expected to be strong, and raw material prices have some downward space. The domestic production area is gradually entering the production - reduction period, and domestic raw material prices are firm. On the demand side, some northern regions are gradually entering the off - season this month, market sales are slowing down, and most companies are digesting inventory and purchasing as needed. As the market gradually digests inventory, some companies made small - scale replenishments in the middle of the month. In summary, short - term macro fluctuations are large, and rubber prices are expected to oscillate. In the future, attention should be paid to the raw material output in the peak - season of the main production areas and macro changes. If raw material supply is smooth, prices will be weak; if not, prices may be stable. It is expected that rubber prices will fluctuate around 15,000 - 15,500 [9]. Polyester Industry - **PX**: Asian and domestic PX loads remain high. In the short - term, PTA load is maintained, and previous terminal and polyester demand has improved more than expected. With low polyester inventory, it is expected that the load will remain relatively high from November to December, and there is still support on the short - term PX demand side. However, the overall support from the cost side is limited due to the weak supply - demand outlook for crude oil. Recently, the market has been trading on the expectations of PTA anti - involution and tight mid - term PX supply - demand. PX has shown a strong trend. But the terminal demand is entering the off - season, and there are concentrated PTA device maintenance plans in November, so the PX supply - demand outlook is loose, and price drivers are limited. Strategically, PX may oscillate in the range of 6,200 - 6,800 in the short - term, and short - selling can be considered above 6,800 [10]. - **PTA**: There are still many PTA device maintenance plans in November. Terminal and polyester demand has improved more than expected, and with low polyester inventory, it is expected that the load will remain relatively high from November to December. The PTA supply - demand is expected to be in a tight balance in November, but it is expected to be loose from February to the first quarter of next year. In terms of absolute price, the price driver is limited, and the support for PTA is limited. Although PTA - related stocks and absolute prices have been boosted by recent PTA production - cut rumors, the basis is still weakly operating. It is expected that the PTA rebound will be limited. Strategically, TA should be treated as oscillating in the range of 4,300 - 4,800 in the short - term, and short - selling on rallies is recommended; a rolling reverse spread for TA1 - 5 can be considered [10]. - **Ethylene Glycol**: Recently, some coal - based ethylene glycol plants have undergone maintenance, but Zhenhai Refining & Chemical's plant is restarting, and previously shut - down coal - based plants are planned to restart in the middle and late part of the month. Domestic supply remains high, and North American ethylene glycol load has increased to a high level, with no reduction in Middle - East supply. November will see a concentrated arrival of overseas ethylene glycol shipments. Although the polyester load is maintained above 91%, the expected high inventory build - up from November to December puts pressure on ethylene glycol prices. Strategically, hold out - of - the - money call options with a strike price of no less than 4,100 for EG2601; implement a reverse spread for EG1 - 5 on rallies [10]. - **Short - fiber**: Currently, short - fiber factories have low inventory levels and reasonable processing fees, so short - term supply remains relatively high. In terms of demand, there is an expectation of seasonal weakening in terminal demand in November. As raw material prices decline, short - fiber prices follow suit, and there has been some purchasing at low prices in the market. Overall, the short - term supply - demand pattern is still weak. Although there are expectations of PTA production cuts, the medium - term supply - demand weakness is difficult to change, and with the weak supply - demand outlook for upstream crude oil, price drivers are weak. It is expected that the rebound space for short - fiber is limited, and processing fees may be compressed. Strategically, the single - side strategy is the same as that for PTA; the processing fee on the futures market is expected to oscillate in the range of 800 - 1,100, and short - selling on rallies is recommended [10]. - **Bottle chips**: In mid - November, there are both maintenance and restart of the Huarun plant. According to Longzhong Information, the commissioning of Dongying Fuhai's new plant has been postponed, so there is little change in domestic supply. Considering the off - season market demand in November, the demand for soft drinks and catering has declined slightly, and the demand side provides insufficient support for bottle chips. The supply - demand situation for bottle chips remains loose. Therefore, bottle - chip social inventory is likely to enter the seasonal inventory - build - up phase. PR will mainly fluctuate with the cost side, and processing fees will be less boosted by supply - demand and will change dynamically with raw material costs. Strategically, the single - side strategy for PR is the same as that for PTA; the processing fee on the PR main - contract futures market is expected to fluctuate in the range of 300 - 450 yuan/ton [10]. Pure Benzene and Styrene Industry - **Pure Benzene**: Recently, there are new production capacities coming on - stream and plant restarts for pure benzene, and the import volume is expected to remain high. Although there are maintenance plans, overall supply may still be loose. On the demand side, some downstream industries are in the red, and the overall demand change is limited. Although the weekly inventory has decreased, the supply pressure remains. The overall supply - demand outlook for pure benzene is loose, and cost support is limited. Since the current valuation of pure benzene is low, future attention should be paid to plant changes. Strategically, BZ2603 has weak self - driving force and should be treated as short - selling on rallies following oil prices [11]. - **Styrene**: Two new styrene plants are operating stably, and previously shut - down plants have restarted, increasing production. There are still maintenance expectations in November, and overall supply may be maintained. The downstream EPS industry has entered the seasonal off - season, and due to high finished - product inventory, there are expectations of production cuts to maintain prices. Overall, the supply - demand outlook for styrene is in a tight balance, and price drivers are still insufficient. Attention should be paid to plant restarts, production cuts, and cost changes. Strategically, the price of EB12 should be treated as short - selling on rallies following cost changes [11]. LPG Industry - No overall view was provided in the report, only price, inventory, and开工率 data were presented [13]. Crude Oil Industry - Previously, due to the expectation that the US government shutdown would end soon and the strong performance of European diesel under continuous sanctions on Russia by Europe and the US, oil prices rebounded. However, the weak supply - demand pattern of crude oil still limits the increase. Overnight, on one hand, both OPEC and EIA monthly reports raised oil production forecasts, increasing concerns about supply over - capacity; on the other hand, there are signs of peace talks between Russia and Ukraine, and the geopolitical premium has declined. Overnight, oil prices dropped significantly. Under the continuous pressure of OPEC+ to increase production, the supply - demand outlook for crude oil in the fourth quarter is weak, and oil prices face pressure on rebounds. In the short - term, a bearish view is taken. Attention should be paid to the actual sanctions on Russia by Europe and the US and the geopolitical situation between Russia and Ukraine [16].
