Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No investment rating is provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints - **Methanol**: The current situation of weak reality and strong expectation continues. Although there is a reversal logic in the fourth - quarter, the 01 contract is over - valued, lacking the value of bottom - fishing on the left side. The decline since August has not ended, and the strategy is to hold existing short positions and consider short - term shorting for non - participants [1]. - **PTA**: With the cost shift down driven by the expected oversupply of crude oil in the fourth quarter and the weakening supply - demand situation of PTA itself, the fundamentals are pessimistic, and a bearish strategy is recommended [2][3]. - **European Line**: Due to the over - capacity of European line this year and the lack of upward drive, the 10 - contract has fallen deeply, and the 12 - contract may repeat the decline. The idea is to short the 12 - contract after it breaks out of the shock [4]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Logic Analysis - **Methanol**: Current domestic production is at a high level year - on - year, imports have increased significantly, downstream olefin comprehensive operating rate has declined, and port inventories are still accumulating. The 01 contract has a large premium over the spot, and the fall since August continues. Wait for signs of improvement in supply and demand before considering long positions [1]. - **PTA**: There is a clear downward drive from the cost side of crude oil, and its own supply - demand is expected to weaken, with large inventory accumulation pressure under high supply and weak demand [2][3]. - **European Line**: The near - month 10 - contract has collapsed with the spot price, and the far - month 12 - contract is in a shock pattern. The 10 - contract has limited short - selling value, and the 12 - contract may fall in the future [4]. 3.2 Weekly Fundamentals - **Methanol**: As of September 17, port inventory was 155.78 million tons, up 0.48% month - on - month and 56.06% year - on - year.

Report Industry Investment Rating - The report does not explicitly provide an overall industry investment rating but gives individual ratings for each futures variety: cautious bullish for rebar, hot-rolled coil, coke, coking coal, ferromanganese, and ferrosilicon; and recommends holding long positions for iron ore [1]. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The overall steel market shows mixed signals. Rebar has positive supply - demand changes but limited downstream demand improvement, while hot - rolled coil has relatively stable supply - demand. Iron ore has a strong fundamental due to increased iron - water production, supply contraction, and pre - National Day restocking. Coke starts price hikes and runs in a range following coking coal. Coking coal has supply tightness but also import support and runs strongly in a range. Ferromanganese and ferrosilicon have relatively balanced supply - demand with limited upside potential [1]. Summary According to Related Catalogs Steel (Rebar and Hot - Rolled Coil) - **Rebar**: The apparent demand improves month - on - month, production decreases slightly, and inventory starts to decline, but the inventory reduction speed needs further observation. Tangshan's production limit news provides a short - term boost. Iron - water production remains high, and overall steel supply is abundant. Downstream demand for construction steel has not improved significantly, and real estate and infrastructure are still drags. It is expected to run in a range in the short term [1][4][5]. - **Hot - Rolled Coil**: The apparent demand declines, production and inventory increase slightly, and supply - demand is relatively stable with few contradictions. Iron - water production remains high, and overall steel demand is weak, lacking upward drivers. It is expected to run in a range in the short term [1][4][5]. Iron Ore - Iron - water production increases again, supply shrinks, and combined with pre - National Day restocking by steel mills, the fundamentals are strong. It is recommended to hold long positions [1][6][7]. Coke - Coke starts the first round of price hikes, coke enterprises' profits are acceptable, and spot production is relatively stable. Iron - water production increases slightly and remains high, leading to high raw material demand. Coke's supply - demand is relatively balanced and runs in a range following coking coal. It is recommended to be cautiously bullish [1][10][11]. Coking Coal - The energy bureau's inspection of coal over - production has led to some mines' suspension for rectification. Domestic coking coal production is significantly lower than the same period last year, with tight supply, but there are expectations of a market recovery. Mongolian coal imports are at a high level. Iron - water production rises slightly, ensuring raw material demand. In the short term, supply - demand contradictions are not prominent, and it runs strongly in a range due to policy disturbances on the supply side. It is recommended to be cautiously bullish [1][14][15]. Ferromanganese and Ferrosilicon - **Ferromanganese**: The fundamentals are becoming looser. After the new round of restocking demand is released, it may be more difficult to reduce inventory in the production areas. The cost side provides strong support for prices in the short term, but the upside space is limited. It is advisable to participate in short - term long positions or wait and see [1][17][18]. - **Ferrosilicon**: The supply - demand contradiction is not prominent. Enterprise inventory decreases slightly, but warehouse receipts stop decreasing and start to increase, with a still high absolute value, suppressing price increases. It is expected to run in a range following coal prices in the short term, and it is recommended to be cautious when chasing long positions [1][17][18].

Report Industry Investment Rating - The trend strength of synthetic rubber is -1, indicating a weak bearish outlook [3] Core Viewpoints - Synthetic rubber is under short - term shock pressure with a neutral - downward driver, but the downside space is narrowing from a valuation perspective. The fundamentals of butadiene and cis - butadiene rubber face increased pressure mainly due to high supply. The supply growth rate is higher than the demand growth rate in a situation of both supply and demand increasing. The inventory pressure of cis - butadiene rubber is rising, and the high processing profit on the cis - butadiene rubber futures is unsustainable. Butadiene is also expected to face high - supply pressure, which will put pressure on the cost side of cis - butadiene rubber. Macroscopically, the Fed's interest - rate cut signal is neutral, and the macro - end has limited impact on the commodity market before the next Fed meeting and the Fourth Plenary Session. The downside space of the futures price is narrowing as the fundamentals are partially reflected in the valuation, the futures price is at a discount to the spot price, and the price is approaching the static cost line [3] Summary by Relevant Catalogs Fundamental Tracking - In the futures market, the closing price of the cis - butadiene rubber 10 - contract increased by 30 yuan/ton to 11,445 yuan/ton, the trading volume decreased by 21,553 lots to 94,561 lots, the open interest increased by 756 lots to 75,259 lots, and the trading volume decreased by 122,814 ten - thousand yuan to 542,409 ten - thousand yuan. The basis of Shandong cis - butadiene rubber to the futures main contract decreased by 30 to 205, and the monthly spread (BR10 - BR11) increased by 15 to 70 [1] - In the spot market, the prices of cis - butadiene rubber in North China, East China, South China, and Shandong remained unchanged. The prices of Qilu styrene - butadiene rubber of models 1502 and 1712 also remained unchanged. The mainstream prices of butadiene in Jiangsu and Shandong increased by 50 yuan/ton and 75 yuan/ton respectively [1] - In terms of fundamentals, the cis - butadiene rubber operating rate, theoretical full cost, and profit remained unchanged [1] Industry News - As of September 17, 2025, the inventory of domestic cis - butadiene rubber sample enterprises was 33,700 tons, a decrease of 800 tons from the previous period, a month - on - month decrease of 2.29%. The downstream continued to purchase at low prices, and the spot negotiation center was under pressure. The inventories of sample production enterprises and sample trading enterprises both decreased slightly [2] - As of September 17, the latest inventory of butadiene in East China ports was about 22,100 tons, a decrease of 2,500 tons from the previous period. Some imported cargoes have not been put into storage, and the short - term inventory continues to decline with limited tradable volume. However, there are still expectations of cargo arrivals, and the import volume in September is expected to be sufficient [2][3]

Report Industry Investment Ratings - Crude oil: A clear bearish trend with relatively appropriate investment opportunities (★★★) [1] - Fuel oil: A clear bearish trend with relatively appropriate investment opportunities (★★★) [1] - Low-sulfur fuel oil: A clear bearish trend with relatively appropriate investment opportunities (★★★) [1] - Asphalt: A clear bearish trend with relatively appropriate investment opportunities (★★★) [1] - Liquefied petroleum gas: A clear bearish trend with relatively appropriate investment opportunities (★★★) [1] Core Views - The medium-term bearish trend of crude oil prices remains unchanged, and short-term geopolitical factors have limited impact on price rebounds. It is recommended to continue to focus on the strategy combination of high-level short positions and call options [2] - For fuel oil and low-sulfur fuel oil, the space for further compression of the high-low sulfur spread is limited. It is recommended to focus on the strategy of expanding the high-low sulfur spread on dips [3] - The asphalt futures continue to oscillate within a range, with the bottom support remaining and limited downside space [4] - The short-term price-to-oil ratio of LPG is expected to be strong, with good bottom support on the spot side. Attention should be paid to the peak-season stocking market [5] Summary by Related Catalogs Crude Oil - Overnight international oil prices declined, with the SC11 contract falling 1.87%. Last week, U.S. crude oil inventories decreased by 9.285 million barrels more than expected due to a significant increase in exports, while the increase in middle distillate inventories raised market concerns about demand. The Fed's 25bp interest rate cut did not bring more-than-expected positive news [2] Fuel Oil & Low-Sulfur Fuel Oil - Today, the main crude oil contract declined, and fuel oil futures also fell, with the decline of FU being relatively limited. Since the frequent attacks on Russian refineries, the weekly loading volume of Russian fuel oil has continued to decline, and the continuous increase in the operating rate of Shandong refineries is beneficial to the feed demand for fuel oil. The incremental consumption of marine fuel in the Singapore market is also concentrated in the high-sulfur marine fuel sector [3] - The third batch of low-sulfur fuel oil export quotas is only 700,000 tons, lower than 1 million tons in the third batch last year. Cumulatively, the low-sulfur export quotas in 2025 have increased by 900,000 tons year-on-year. However, considering the still low quota utilization rate, the supply pressure of low-sulfur fuel oil is limited [3] Asphalt - Crude oil continued to correct, and asphalt futures continued to oscillate within a range. Factory and social inventories continued to decline, with the decline slowing down compared to the beginning of the week. As of now this week, the cumulative warehouse receipts in East China warehouses have decreased by 3,050 tons, and 1,330 tons of factory warehouse receipts were cancelled today. The downward pressure on spot prices in East China has eased, and spot prices in South China and Hebei have remained stable [4] LPG - The overseas market remains strong, and the overall sentiment is bullish under strong import demand and rising geopolitical risks.
