Different futures varieties have different trends and influencing factors, and investors are advised to make decisions carefully [5]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs Commodity Performance - **Futures Market Overview**: As of the close on December 23, domestic futures main contracts had mixed performance. Platinum hit the daily limit, lithium carbonate and palladium rose over 5%, and silver futures rose over 4%. In terms of declines, ethylene glycol (EG) dropped over 3%, and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), logs, and red dates fell over 1%. Index futures and treasury bond futures also showed different trends. In terms of capital flow, some contracts had capital inflows while others had outflows [5][6]. - **Futures Index Performance**: The main contract of CSI 300 Index Futures (IF) rose 0.12%, the main contract of SSE 50 Index Futures (IH) rose 0.22%, the main contract of CSI 500 Index Futures (IC) rose 0.04%, and the main contract of CSI 1000 Index Futures (IM) fell 0.15%. The main contract of 2 - year treasury bond futures (TS) rose 0.07%, the main contract of 5 - year treasury bond futures (TF) rose 0.17%, the main contract of 10 - year treasury bond futures (T) rose 0.26%, and the main contract of 30 - year treasury bond futures (TL) rose 0.89% [6]. - **Capital Flow**: As of 15:21 on December 23, in terms of capital inflows to domestic futures main contracts, CSI 2603 had an inflow of 2.004 billion yuan, lithium carbonate 2605 had an inflow of 876 million yuan, and platinum 2606 had an inflow of 835 million yuan. In terms of outflows, CSI 2603 had an outflow of 633 million yuan, Shanghai copper 2602 had an outflow of 568 million yuan, and Shanghai aluminum 2602 had an outflow of 256 million yuan [6]. Market Analysis - **Shanghai Copper**: On the day, Shanghai copper opened high and moved low, showing a relatively strong trend during the day. In November, SMM's electrolytic copper production in China was 1.1031 million tons, with a month - on - month increase of 11,500 tons (a month - on - month increase of 1.05%) and a year - on - year increase of 9.75%. From January to November, the cumulative production increased by 1.2894 million tons year - on - year (an increase of 11.76%). SMM predicts that the electrolytic copper production in December will increase by 65,700 tons month - on - month (an increase of 5.96%) and 6.69% year - on - year. Copper foil maintains a high - growth level, but copper products are affected by various factors, and the market is mainly characterized by a relatively strong and volatile trend [8]. - **Lithium Carbonate**: Lithium carbonate opened flat and moved high, rising nearly 6% during the day. This week, the capacity utilization rate of lithium carbonate was 83.52%, significantly higher year - on - year. The downstream energy - storage battery still maintains growth, and lithium iron phosphate has a price - increase expectation, which supports the price increase of lithium carbonate at the raw - material end. However, the end - of - season demand and the uncertainty of mine resumption need to be further observed, and investors are advised to be cautious about chasing the rise [10]. - **Crude Oil**: OPEC+ agreed to maintain the overall oil production of the organization in 2026. Eight additional voluntarily - reducing oil - producing countries reiterated to suspend production increases in the first quarter of next year. The global crude - oil market is still in a pattern of oversupply, but the geopolitical situation in Venezuela has heated up, and it is recommended to wait and see for the time being [11][12]. - **Asphalt**: The supply side shows that the asphalt start - up rate has declined, and the expected production volume in December has decreased. The downstream start - up rate has mostly fallen, and the inventory is at a relatively low level. The market is concerned about the export of Venezuelan heavy - crude oil and its impact on domestic asphalt production. It is expected that the asphalt futures price will fluctuate, and attention should be paid to the situation in Venezuela [13]. - **PP**: As of the week ending December 19, the downstream start - up rate of PP decreased. The enterprise start - up rate is at a neutral - to - low level, and the petrochemical inventory is at a relatively high level. The supply - demand pattern remains unchanged, and it is expected that PP will fluctuate weakly, and the L - PP spread is expected to narrow [15]. - **Plastic**: On December 23, the start - up rate of plastic increased, but the downstream start - up rate decreased. The petrochemical inventory is at a relatively high level. The supply - demand pattern remains unchanged, and it is expected that plastic will fluctuate weakly in the near future, and the L - PP spread is expected to narrow [16][17]. - **PVC**: The upstream calcium carbide price has dropped. The PVC start - up rate has decreased, and the downstream start - up rate has also declined. The export situation is not good, and the inventory pressure is relatively large. The real - estate market is still in the adjustment stage, and it is expected that the upward space for PVC in the near future is limited [18]. - **Coking Coal**: Coking coal opened high and moved high, rising nearly 2% during the day. The supply is in a loose pattern, and the downstream demand is weak. Although the sentiment has recovered and rebounded, the upward height is limited, and investors should beware of sentiment cooling [19][20]. - **Urea**: The futures price opened high and moved high during the day. The spot price is stable, and the supply pressure is not alleviated. The demand is mainly supported by the winter - storage production of compound fertilizers. The inventory is mainly concentrated in the winter - storage areas, and it is expected that the inventory - reduction amplitude will narrow. The market has limited positive factors, and it is recommended to wait for a pullback [21].

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings No information provided regarding industry investment ratings. 2. Core Views of the Reports Tin Industry - Short - term fundamentals remain strong. Tin prices are expected to stay strong within the year. Maintain a bullish view on tin prices, hold long positions, and consider buying on dips. Monitor subsequent macro and supply - side changes [2]. Aluminum Alloy Industry - The market is in a state of strong cost and weak demand. ADC12 prices have limited upside and downside space. The price is expected to continue to oscillate in a high - level range in the short term, with the main contract reference range of 20,800 - 21,600 yuan/ton. Focus on changes in scrap aluminum supply, regional environmental policies, and downstream orders [4]. Polysilicon Industry - Polysilicon prices remain in high - level oscillation, and futures prices are still at a significant premium to the spot market. Pay attention to the reduction in production or price decline pressure. Adopt a wait - and - see strategy for now, and focus on the subsequent production cuts and price adjustment acceptance. Remind investors to manage their positions [5]. Industrial Silicon Industry - Some industrial silicon spot prices rose slightly. Futures prices oscillated and declined. Supply and demand both decreased moderately, and the expectation of industrial silicon production cuts further increased. The price is expected to oscillate at a low level in December, with the main price fluctuation range between 8,000 - 9,000 yuan/ton. If production drops significantly, it may break through 10,000 yuan/ton; otherwise, it will fall [6]. Zinc Industry - TC has stopped falling and stabilized, and zinc prices are oscillating. Domestic zinc concentrate production is in the off - season, while overseas zinc ore imports have increased. Refining production is limited due to profit pressure. Downstream demand is stable, and domestic spot zinc ingots maintain a premium with continuous inventory depletion. LME inventory has increased significantly, and the squeeze risk has eased. The main contract should pay attention to the support at 22,850 - 22,950 [8]. Copper Industry - Against the background of the overseas inventory structural imbalance, copper prices are oscillating at a high level. The upward drivers include further deterioration of overseas inventory structure and improved interest - rate cut expectations; the downward drivers are the weak demand feedback. In the long - term, the bottom center of copper prices may continue to rise, and the main contract should pay attention to the support at 92,500 - 95,000 [12]. Alumina and Aluminum Industry - Alumina prices are expected to oscillate at a low level around the cash - cost line, with the main contract reference range of 2,450 - 2,650 yuan/ton. Pay attention to environmental protection policies and corporate production cuts. Aluminum prices lack a one - way driver and are expected to oscillate widely in the short term, with the SHFE aluminum main contract reference range of 21,800 - 22,600 yuan/ton. Focus on macro - expectations and domestic inventory changes [15]. Nickel Industry - The nickel market sentiment has improved due to low valuations and mine - end news, but the short - term reality is still weak, and the medium - term fundamentals are loose. The price upside is restricted. The short - term is expected to continue oscillating and repairing, but the driving force is limited. Pay attention to the possibility of a callback after the news is digested, with the main contract reference range of 116,000 - 124,000 [16]. Stainless Steel Industry - The stainless - steel market sentiment has improved, but the supply - demand game continues. It is expected to oscillate and adjust in the short term, with the main contract reference range of 12,300 - 13,000. Pay attention to nickel - mine news and steel - mill production - cut implementation [18]. Lithium Carbonate Industry - The lithium carbonate market has a short - term wide - range oscillation. The price may continue to test the high and then retreat and adjust. Pay attention to policies and news [19]. 3.

对二甲苯:不追高,高位震荡市, PTA:不追高,高位震荡市, MEG:趋势偏弱
Guo Tai Jun An Qi Huo· 2025-12-23 05:03
Report Summary of Futures Market Analysis 1. Report Industry Investment Ratings - PX: Do not chase highs, expect a high-level volatile market [1] - PTA: Do not chase highs, expect a high-level volatile market [1] - MEG: Trend is weakening [1] 2. Core Views - PX: Unilateral price trend is strong, squeezing downstream profits. Short-term rapid increase in PX, focus on the turning point of downstream polyester operating load. Do not chase highs in the short term [9]. - PTA: Do not chase highs in the short term, go long on PTA and short on PF/PR. Yisheng Ningbo plant restarts as planned. Fuhai's new bottle chip plant goes into production. Do not chase highs in the short term [9]. - MEG: Unilateral market is oscillating, and the medium-term trend remains weak. Although the price of 3,600 yuan/ton has reached the cost line of most production facilities, the domestic ethylene glycol facilities are still resilient, and the operating rate has rebounded to 72%. Huayi 20 restarts this week. Polyester operating rate remains at 91.2% this week, and the restart of plants such as Sanfangxiang and China Resources Zhuhai will boost the load next week. Overall, if the polyester load decreases due to profit pressure, the supply-demand pressure of MEG will continue to rise, so it is difficult for ethylene glycol to rise in the medium term [9][10]. 3. Summary by Related Contents Market Quotes - **Futures Prices**: On the previous trading day, the closing prices of PX, PTA, MEG, PF, and SC were 7,258, 5,040, 3,735, 6,432, and 437.9 respectively, with changes of 188, 158, -3, 140, and 11.3, and percentage changes of 2.66%, 3.24%, -0.08%, 2.23%, and 2.65% [2]. - **Spot Prices**: The previous day's spot prices of PX CFR China, PTA East China, MEG, naphtha MOPJ, and Dated Brent were $893/ton, 4,882 yuan/ton, 3,615 yuan/ton, $539.88/ton, and $62.45/barrel respectively, with changes of $26, 117 yuan, -10 yuan, $9, and $1.29 [2]. - **Spot Processing Fees**: The previous day's processing fees for PX - naphtha, PTA, staple fiber, bottle chips, and MOPJ naphtha - Dubai crude oil were 335.45, 150.47, 221.69, 40.59, and -4.23 respectively, with changes of 30.34, -28.15, -24.11, -61.21, and 0.11 [2]. Market Dynamics - **PX**: On December 22, the PX price rose sharply. Two February Asian spot transactions were at 893 and 891, and three March Asian spot transactions were all at 893. The PX valuation on December 22 was $892/ton, up $26 from last Friday. The Asian xylene price further rose to a multi - month high, approaching $900/ton [3]. - **PTA**: A 2.2 million - ton PTA plant in Ningbo is expected to resume operation on the 24th, which was shut down for maintenance in mid - November [6]. - **MEG**: A 200,000 - ton/year MEG plant in Taiwan is restarting, which was shut down for maintenance in late November. A 400,000 - ton/year MEG plant in South China has restarted normally, which was shut down in early December. The MEG port inventory in some main ports in East China is about 716,000 tons, an increase of 30,000 tons from the previous period [6][7]. - **Polyester**: Fuhai Packaging Materials Co., Ltd.'s new 300,000 - ton/year polyester bottle chip plant has produced high - quality products. On December 22, the sales of direct - spun polyester staple fibers were sluggish, with an average sales - to - production ratio of 35%. The sales - to - production ratio of polyester yarn in Jiangsu and Zhejiang was generally weak, with an estimated average of 40% - 50% by 3:30 pm [7][8]. Trend Intensity - The trend intensity of PX, PTA, and MEG is all 0, indicating a neutral trend. The trend intensity ranges from - 2 (most bearish) to 2 (most bullish) [9].
