Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report The report analyzes multiple industries including oil products, aromatics - polyester, coal chemical, salt chemical, and non - ferrous metals. Geopolitical factors, especially the situation in the Middle East, have a significant impact on the supply and price of various commodities. Market sentiment is complex and volatile, and different industries face different supply - demand situations and price trends. [3][4][6] Summary by Directory 01 Oil Products Crude Oil - **Logic**: Geopolitical news dominates market fluctuations, and Trump has postponed energy strikes. - **Fundamentals**: The shipping volume in the Strait of Hormuz is low, and the export of Russian oil is restricted, leading to a tightening of global crude oil supply. The recovery of shut - down production capacity is uncertain. - **Macro**: The Fed maintains the interest rate at 3.5% - 3.75%, and the market's expectation of a Fed rate cut is rising. The geopolitical situation in the Middle East is tense, and the macro - sentiment is weak. [3] Fuel Oil - **Logic**: Funds are flowing out, and the high - sulfur crack spread is falling. - **Fundamentals**: High - sulfur fuel oil has limited follow - up ability despite strong crude oil. The low - sulfur fuel oil is in a tight supply - demand situation, with supply being tight and demand shifting to Asia. It will continue to be strong but may experience a correction. [6][7] LPG - **Logic**: Geopolitical factors cause repeated disturbances, and there is short - term support. - **Fundamentals**: The international oil price rebound drives the LPG price up. The supply gap in the Middle East cannot be quickly filled, and the price is expected to be easy to rise and difficult to fall in the short term. [8] 02 Aromatics - Polyester PTA - **Logic**: Pay attention to geopolitical progress, and the downstream load has slightly decreased. - **Fundamentals**: The TA2605 contract has risen, the spot basis has strengthened, the PTA load has increased, and the downstream polyester load has decreased. Mainstream polyester filament manufacturers have increased production cuts. [9][10] 03 Coal Chemical Urea - **Logic**: The sentiment is generally stable, with support, but beware of policy pressure. - **Fundamentals**: The positive overseas sentiment and domestic policy pressure offset each other. The inventory has decreased, and the price is expected to remain stable. The supply is at a high level, and the demand is stable. The international price is rising, but the domestic - international price transmission is limited. [11] Methanol - **Logic**: There is still geopolitical uncertainty, but short - term import shortages provide support, and it maintains high - level operation. - **Fundamentals**: The MA2605 contract has risen. The price in the port area has rebounded, and the basis has strengthened. The import in April is expected to be low, and the port inventory may further decrease. [12] 04 Salt Chemical Soda Ash - **Logic**: The cost has increased, but the supply - demand pressure is high. - **Fundamentals**: The increase in coal prices supports the bottom price, but the supply - demand situation lacks effective support. The inventory is at a high level, and the rebound requires supply - side production cuts. [13] Glass - **Logic**: The situation of weak supply and demand continues. - **Fundamentals**: The glass inventory continues to decline, but the market sentiment has cooled. The supply is at a low level, and the price has support at a low level. The improvement in the second - hand housing market may drive the demand for glass. [14][15] Caustic Soda - **Logic**: The supply - demand side has strong support, but the futures valuation is high. - **Fundamentals**: The manufacturer's inventory pressure is small, and the supply - demand support is strong. The impact of the Strait of Hormuz blockade on the supply and demand of caustic soda needs to be continuously monitored. [16] 05 Non - Ferrous Metals Copper - **Logic**: Shanghai copper has a slight increase. - **Fundamentals**: The situation in the Middle East is complex, and the market sentiment changes. The domestic inventory is decreasing, and the cost of copper is supported. The long - term demand for copper in the new energy transformation is positive. [17] Gold - **Logic**: It fluctuates strongly. - **Fundamentals**: The uncertainty of monetary policy and the situation in the Middle East affect the US dollar index. If the US dollar index weakens, it may drive the gold price up. [18] Silver - **Logic**: It fluctuates strongly. - **Fundamentals**: The market focuses on the situation in the Middle East and the Fed's interpretation of inflation expectations. The silver price has temporarily escaped the low point but still faces uncertainties. [19] Appendix: Daily Data Monitoring of Each Sector The appendix provides daily data monitoring of various commodities, including price changes, basis, spreads, and inventory data, which helps to understand the market trends of different commodities.

Treasury Bond Futures - The strategy is to distinguish the impact of funds and fundamentals on bonds and maintain a steep yield curve strategy. The bond market improved under the influence of risk - aversion sentiment, but the long - end is still not strong, and short - term bonds perform better [12]. 4. Black Commodities 4.1. Steel and Iron Ore - The overall demand for building materials is weak, while the demand for coils has a certain decline in some downstream consumption. The steel mills' current order situation is okay, but high inventory suppresses steel prices. The supply of steel is expected to increase slightly, and the cost side has strong support.

It is advisable to take profit on previous long positions [51][52]. 8.11. Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) - The LPG price is affected by the geopolitical situation. If the Strait of Hormuz is opened, it may return to fundamental trading. The price is expected to weaken but may be relatively stronger than crude oil [53]. 8.12. Pulp - The pulp market is in a state of multi - empty game. The high inventory and weak demand in the real - world end and the cost and energy - related production cuts of overseas pulp mills are the key points of the game. Attention should be paid to the port inventory and product price increases [54]. 8.13. Logs - The log price is rising due to the increase in demand in the construction industry. Attention should be paid to the downstream receiving capacity and port arrivals [55]. 8.14. Urea - The far - month urea contract should pay attention to the cost push and agricultural product price increases, while the near - month contract should follow the policy [56].

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings - No information about industry investment ratings is provided in the reports. 2. Core Views of the Reports Pure Benzene - Styrene - Pure benzene supply is expected to decline due to reduced refinery loads and planned maintenance, while downstream product prices are rising, leading to improved supply - demand expectations. It may follow oil price fluctuations, and the strategy is to wait and see and shrink the EB05 - BZ05 spread on rallies [1]. - Styrene supply is stable with some装置restarts and maintenance. Demand is weak in procurement but the supply - demand situation remains tight. It also follows oil price fluctuations, and the strategy is the same as that for pure benzene [1]. LPG - No overall view is provided, but price, inventory, and开工率 data are presented, showing changes in various aspects such as prices, inventory levels, and开工率 of LPG - related products [2]. Natural Rubber - Supply is tight in Southeast Asia, and domestic new rubber supply is limited in the short term. Demand from tire enterprises is stable. The price is expected to fluctuate widely, and attention should be paid to the development of the US - Iran conflict [3]. Crude Oil - The current conflict has lasted for more than four weeks, and the focus is on the control of the Strait of Hormuz and energy supply chain security. Oil prices are expected to maintain wide - range fluctuations, with the main factors being geopolitical support and policy suppression. Short - term focus is on the actual resumption of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz and the progress of negotiations [4]. Glass and Soda Ash - Soda ash has a pattern of strong supply and weak demand. Short - term price is supported by plant maintenance, but supply will increase next week, and it is expected to be weak and volatile. Attention should be paid to the support at around 1150 for SA605, and 5 - 9 reverse arbitrage can be considered [5]. - Glass has weak market trading. Supply is slightly reduced, and demand is weak. Inventory reduction is weakening. Attention should be paid to the support at around 1030 for FG605, and short - selling can be tried lightly if demand or inventory reduction does not improve [5]. Methanol - Methanol futures are rising, and the basis is strengthening. Supply is increasing domestically but imports are expected to decrease. Demand is improving. However, risks of sharp fluctuations and price corrections due to geopolitical easing should be noted [9]. Polyester Industry Chain - PX supply is expected to decline, but downstream polyester has cost - transmission problems, and short - term PX follows oil price fluctuations. PTA has limited self - driving force and follows cost - end fluctuations [10]. - Ethylene glycol has strong cost support, and supply is decreasing. Port inventory is expected to decline, and the price may continue to rise, but there is a risk of a pull - back [10]. - Short - fiber has weak self - driving force and follows raw material fluctuations. Attention should be paid to the resumption of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz and downstream cost transmission [10]. Polyolefins - The polyolefin market is trading based on the logic of "strong cost, reduced supply". The 05 - contract inventory is expected to be low, driving up prices. However, demand is limited, and long positions can be reduced on rallies [11]. PVC and Caustic Soda - Caustic soda futures fluctuate greatly, and the spot price is stable. Supply is increasing slightly, and inventory is accumulating. The overall supply - demand pattern is weak, and attention should be paid to the impact of the Middle East situation [8]. - PVC futures are weakly volatile, and the spot price is falling. The supply - demand fundamentals are weak, but it may be pushed up passively by the overall environment, and attention should be paid to the impact of regional trends [8]. Urea - Urea futures open low and close high, and the spot market is weak. Supply is slightly reduced, and inventory is relatively low, providing some support. However, the supply is still abundant, and demand is weak. It is expected to fluctuate and consolidate in the short term, and attention should be paid to the 1830 - 1900 range [7]. 3.
