Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. Report's Core View PVC and Caustic Soda - In the short term, the supply pressure of caustic soda is limited during the concentrated maintenance period, and the demand from the alumina sector has improved. Supported by fundamental supply - demand and positive macro - drivers, the spot price of caustic soda tends to be strong. However, attention should be paid to the price acceptance of non - aluminum sectors and the valuation of caustic soda. It is recommended to wait and see in the short term [7]. - For PVC, in the short term, the supply - demand contradiction is limited due to concentrated maintenance and limited inventory pressure. There is an expectation of rush - exporting PVC products. But in the medium and long term, there is an obvious over - supply pressure. It is recommended to wait and see, with a short - term rebound and a medium - term short - selling approach [7]. Polyester Industry Chain - For PX, in the short term, the supply is tight and the demand is supported, but the upward pressure on crude oil and the possible production cut of downstream products may put pressure on PX. It is recommended to treat it as a high - level shock, exit the PX09 - 1 positive spread, and pay attention to the reverse spread opportunity [12]. - For PTA, the short - term supply - demand is tight, but there is an expectation of weakening. It is recommended to treat it as a high - level shock, exit the TA09 - 1 positive spread at a high level, and pay attention to the reverse spread opportunity [12]. - For ethylene glycol, it is expected to reduce inventory in May, and it is recommended to take profit on the short - put option EG2509 - P - 4250 seller and conduct a long spread on EG9 - 1 [12]. - For short - fiber, the short - term inventory pressure is not large, but the processing fee is compressed. It is recommended to take the same strategy as PTA for single - side trading and expand the processing fee at a low level [12]. - For bottle - chips, the short - term supply - demand contradiction is not prominent, and the price follows the raw materials. It is recommended to pay attention to the opportunity of expanding the processing fee at the lower edge of the 350 - 550 yuan/ton range [12]. Styrene The short - term rebound of styrene is supported by low inventory and improved demand expectations. However, the high - production and high - inventory problems of 3S products and the poor supply - demand of pure benzene may limit the rebound height. It is recommended to pay attention to the resistance above 7800 - 7900 in the near - month [18]. Methanol The inland valuation of methanol has a downward pressure, the port starts the inventory - accumulation period, and the 09 contract is under pressure. It is recommended to short - sell the MA09 contract at a high level [22]. Crude Oil The overnight oil price continued to decline due to the progress of the US - Iran nuclear agreement negotiation. The short - term market will be mainly in a wide - range shock. It is recommended to wait and see in the short term and capture volatility - amplification opportunities in the option market [26]. PE and PP The spot sentiment of PE and PP has weakened. The supply pressure will gradually decrease in May, but the cost - end rebound compresses the profit. Attention should be paid to the restocking and exporting of plastic products [29]. Urea The core logic of the rise in urea futures is the boost of the clear export policy. The short - term supply - demand is expected to be tight, but the actual increase depends on the policy implementation and export orders. The short - term disk will be in a wide - range consolidation [90].

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content Core Viewpoints - The port basis of styrene has peaked and declined, reflecting that traders are realizing trading profits, and the downstream is in a loss state with low PS and ABS operating rates and continuous inventory pressure on finished products of the three major hard plastics. However, attention should be paid to the short - covering rhythm of previously over - sold traders. Against the background of the easing of Sino - US tariffs, the demand for pure benzene has bottomed out and rebounded. The low operating rates of caprolactam and aniline in the downstream of pure benzene may improve due to the tariff reduction, but the subsequent arrival pressure of pure benzene still exists. The report suggests a cautious long - hedging strategy [2][3] Summary by Directory EB& Pure Benzene Basis Structure and Related Spreads - Pure benzene: The port inventory is 12.30 million tons (+0.30 million tons), the CFR China processing fee is $186/ton (+$12/ton), the FOB Korea processing fee is $174/ton (+$17/ton), the US - Korea price difference is $31.7/ton (-$22.0/ton) and remains closed, and the East China pure benzene spot - M2 spread is - 15 yuan/ton (+20 yuan/ton) [1] - Styrene: The main contract basis is 251 yuan/ton (+7 yuan/ton), the non - integrated production profit is 331 yuan/ton (-27 yuan/ton) and is expected to gradually compress [1] EB& Pure Benzene Operating Rates and Inventories - Pure benzene: The East China port inventory is related to the data of 12.30 million tons (+0.30 million tons), and the operating rate is not specifically mentioned in the summarized key data [1] - Styrene: The East China port inventory is 56,700 tons (-11,800 tons), the East China commercial inventory is 44,900 tons (-8,600 tons), and it is in the inventory rebuilding stage.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the content. 2. Core Views of the Report - For copper, overnight LME copper rose slightly and then declined. The domestic demand orders may gradually slow down as the peak season turns to the off - season. The Sino - US trade negotiation progress is expected to boost copper prices in the short term. Copper prices are expected to reach the range of 78,000 - 80,000 yuan/ton, but attention should be paid to the downstream acceptance and potential price fluctuations [1]. - For aluminum, alumina and Shanghai aluminum are oscillating strongly.

Report Industry Investment Ratings No relevant content provided. Core Views of the Report - The overall market is affected by factors such as tariffs, global economic recession risks, and policy adjustments. Different sectors show various trends and investment opportunities. For example, the report is optimistic about the long - term performance of Chinese equity assets, believes in the long - term bullish trend of precious metals, and has different views on other commodities based on their supply - demand fundamentals and market conditions [6][9][11]. Summary by Related Catalogs Bonds - **Treasury Bonds**: The previous trading day saw a full - line decline in treasury bond futures. The central bank conducted 920 billion yuan of 7 - day reverse repurchase operations on May 14, with a net withdrawal of 103.5 billion yuan. The current macro data is stable, but tariffs may lead to a slowdown in the Chinese economy. The external environment is favorable for treasury bond futures, but yields are relatively low. It is recommended to be cautious as the Chinese economy shows a stable recovery trend [5][6]. Stocks - **Stock Index Futures**: The previous trading day, stock index futures showed mixed performance. The domestic economy is stable, but tariffs disrupt the economic recovery rhythm. However, due to low domestic asset valuations and policy hedging space, the report is optimistic about the long - term performance of Chinese equity assets and suggests considering going long on stock index futures [8][9]. Precious Metals - **Gold and Silver**: The previous trading day, gold and silver futures prices declined. The complex global trade and financial environment, along with the increasing risk of global economic recession due to tariffs, may lead to passive monetary policy easing in various countries, which is expected to drive up the price of gold.

The复产 of mines in Congo (Kinshasa) and Myanmar increases the supply expectation, while the current supply is tight. It is expected that tin prices will face upward pressure and show a bearish - oscillating trend [53]. - **Nickel**: The previous trading day, Shanghai nickel rose. The tightening of the ore supply policy in Indonesia and the Philippines provides cost support, but the downstream is in a state of over - supply. It is necessary to pay attention to opportunities after the repair of macro - sentiment [54]. Energy - **Crude Oil**: The previous trading day, INE crude oil oscillated higher. OPEC+ will increase production from May to June, and the market is worried about oversupply. After the short - term rise, crude oil may face a correction. It is recommended to take a short position on the crude oil main contract [21][22]. - **Fuel Oil**: The previous trading day, fuel oil followed crude oil and oscillated upward. The possible relaxation of US sanctions on Russia is negative for high - sulfur fuel oil, while the signing of tariff agreements is beneficial for the recovery of fuel oil prices. It is recommended to wait and see for the fuel oil main contract [24][25]. Chemicals - **Synthetic Rubber**: The previous trading day, the synthetic rubber main contract rose. Supply pressure persists, but the demand side is expected to improve due to the slowdown of tariffs, and the cost side has rebounded significantly.

Group 1: Report Core View - This week, the high-sulfur crack fluctuated, the 380 near-end ran strongly, and the basis fluctuated. The low-sulfur crack continued to strengthen, the monthly spread strengthened, and the basis fluctuated. Singapore's onshore inventory decreased significantly, ARA's decreased slightly, and the US residual oil inventory increased significantly. Singapore's high-sulfur floating storage increased significantly, with overall inventory accumulation, while the Middle East's floating storage decreased, and Saudi Arabia's exports increased significantly. Fujairah's floating storage and Europe's floating storage increased. Recently, the low-sulfur market has strengthened marginally, and attention should be paid to the subsequent realization of supply increments. The high-sulfur market fluctuates at a high level, with profits higher than the historical average. This year, affected by consumption tax deductions and tariff adjustments in China, the refinery feed demand for fuel oil has declined significantly, and the bunker fuel demand is expected to be weaker year-on-year due to tariff impacts. In the future, attention should be paid to the power generation demand and procurement demand, as well as the medium-term short allocation opportunity for the high-sulfur crack [6][7] Group 2: Rotterdam Fuel Oil Swap Data - From May 8 to May 14, 2025, the prices of Rotterdam 3.5% HSF O swap M1 changed from 385.77 to 406.15, a decrease of 2.28; Rotterdam 0.5% VLS FO swap M1 changed from 431.14 to 451.49, a decrease of 0.76; Rotterdam HSFO-Brent M1 changed from -1.51 to -1.58, a decrease of 0.19; Rotterdam 10ppm Gasoil swap M1 changed from 571.02 to 606.04, an increase of 3.48; Rotterdam VLSFO-G M1 changed from -139.88 to -154.55, a decrease of 4.24; LGO-Brent M1 changed from 16.22 to 17.57, an increase of 0.91; Rotterdam VLSFO-HSFO M1 changed from 45.37 to 45.34, an increase of 1.52 [4] Group 3: Singapore Fuel Oil Swap Data - From May 8 to May 14, 2025, the prices of Singapore 380cst M1 changed from 402.45 to 433.27; Singapore 180cst M1 changed from 412.95 to 442.48; Singapore VLSFO M1 changed from 467.39 to 498.06; Singapore GO M1 changed from 76.00 to 81.58; Singapore 380cst-Brent M1 changed from 2.28 to 2.53; Singapore VLSFO-GO M1 changed from -95.01 to -105.63 [4] Group 4: Singapore Fuel Oil Spot Data - From May 8 to May 14, 2025, the FOB 380cst price changed from 402.67 to 432.78, an increase of 4.14; the FOB VLSFO price changed from 481.67 to 511.73, an increase of 16.22; the 380 basis changed from -1.30 to -1.45, a decrease of 2.45; the high-sulfur domestic and foreign price difference changed from 7.6 to 7.9, a decrease of 0.3; the low-sulfur domestic and foreign price difference changed from 11.9 to 17.0, an increase of 0.7 [5] Group 5: Domestic FU Data - From May 8 to May 14, 2025, the prices of FU 01 changed from 2584 to 2755, an increase of 46; FU 05 changed from 2566 to 2697, an increase of 32; FU 09 changed from 2707 to 2893, an increase of 54; FU 01 - 05 changed from 18 to 58, an increase of 14; FU 05 - 09 changed from -141 to -196, a decrease of 22; FU 09 - 01 changed from 123 to 138, an increase of 8 [5] Group 6: Domestic LU Data - From May 8 to May 14, 2025, the prices of LU 01 changed from 3237 to 3451, an increase of 76; LU 05 changed from 3219 to 3401, an increase of 141; LU 09 changed from 3298 to 3521, an increase of 85; LU 01 - 05 changed from 18 to 50, a decrease of 65; LU 05 - 09 changed from -79 to -120, an increase of 56; LU 09 - 01 changed from 61 to 70, an increase of 9 [6]

Group 1: Investment Ratings - No investment ratings for the industry are provided in the report. Group 2: Core Views - The domestic "One Bank, One Commission, One Administration" policy slightly exceeded expectations, and the Sino - US negotiation achieved significant progress, but the current tariff level remains high, which may limit market optimism. The supply of copper ore and recycled copper remains tight, while consumption shows signs of marginal weakening, making it difficult for copper prices to continue rising in the short term [1]. - The domestic aluminum ingot is approaching its production capacity limit, and the continuous decline in short - term inventory strongly supports aluminum prices. However, due to the current seasonally weak consumption, the sustainability of demand improvement may face challenges, restricting the rebound height of aluminum prices [3]. - The port inventory of lead concentrate continues to rise, the waste inventory is limited, and the downstream battery enterprises' holiday has been extended. After the Sino - US economic and trade talks, the short - term commodity sentiment is strong, and the medium - term Shanghai lead index is expected to fluctuate within a range [4]. - The port inventory of zinc concentrate continues to rise, and the zinc ore surplus expectation remains unchanged. The zinc ingot inventory has slightly increased, but the domestic warehouse receipts remain at a low level. The Russian lead - zinc mine's expected shutdown in June may boost zinc prices from an emotional perspective [6]. - The supply of tin is currently tight but is expected to ease. The impact of tariffs on the demand side remains to be observed. If downstream demand remains weak, the tin price center may shift downward [7][8]. - The cost of nickel is expected to ease, and the spot demand is weak. Nickel prices should be treated with a bearish mindset [9]. - The short - term tariff change of lithium carbonate will bring additional orders, and the peak season is expected to continue. The futures price is likely to fluctuate, and attention should be paid to the upstream and downstream operating rates and domestic inventory changes [11]. - The supply of alumina is subject to continuous disturbances, and the new production capacity has increased uncertainty. The cost support continues to decline. In the short term, it is recommended to wait and see, and the medium - to - long - term supply surplus trend is difficult to change [13]. - The stainless steel market shows a differentiated trend of narrow cost fluctuations and rising spot prices, with significantly improved steel mill profits. The short - term market is resilient, but the medium - to - long - term trend depends on the game between terminal recovery intensity and the off - season cycle [15].
