Report Summary 1) Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided 2) Core Viewpoints - PTA: With the easing of the war between Iran and Israel, the crude oil market dropped significantly, and the chemical industry followed the decline. Despite the expectation of reduced downstream polyester load, the actual polyester output reached a new high. PTA will likely go through inventory reduction in the coming period, and the actions of major factories to increase the basis for sales have a significant impact on the market, making PTA spot supply tight. Polyester has recently achieved rapid inventory reduction [2]. - Ethylene Glycol (MEG): The conflict between Iran and Israel has eased, leading to a sharp decline in crude oil prices, and the chemical industry as a whole will follow suit. The rise in ethylene prices has strengthened the cost side, and the export of Iranian petrochemicals is expected to be affected. However, the overall import volume of MEG from Iran is limited. The profit of coal - based MEG has expanded, and the recent blockage of US ethane imports has affected domestic MEG plants. MEG will continue the inventory reduction trend, and the arrival volume will decrease. Polyester production cuts will have a certain impact on the market, and the inventory at ports has changed little. The recovery of the load of coal - based MEG plants will put pressure on the market, and MEG will enter the inventory reduction stage later [2]. 3) Summary by Relevant Catalogs Market Data - **Crude Oil**: INE crude oil price dropped from 498.5 yuan/barrel on June 27, 2025, to 496.7 yuan/barrel on June 30, 2025, a decrease of 1.8 yuan/barrel [2]. - **PX**: CFR China PX price increased from 868 to 874, and the PX - naphtha spread rose from 298 to 304.

Group 1: Methanol - High imports are materializing, and inventory accumulation has begun. The futures market is undervalued, waiting for the off - season expectations to be fully priced in. Iran has reduced its production, but there is an increase from non - Iranian sources and domestic supply. Overall, it is in a phase of bearish factors materializing. Pay attention to the actual inventory accumulation. With unstable macro - conditions and weak methanol prices in Europe and the US, it's hard to determine a clear direction for single - sided trading. Due to the low valuation, it is advisable to consider buying at low levels [1] - From June 17th to June 23rd, the power coal futures price remained at 801. The daily change in the Jiangsu spot price was - 10, the South China spot price was - 22, the Lunan converted price was + 18, and the Northwest converted price was + 33. Other prices such as CFR China and CFR Southeast Asia remained unchanged [1] Group 2: Polyethylene (Plastic) - For polyethylene, the inventory of Sinopec and PetroChina is neutral year - on - year. Upstream and coal - chemical industries are reducing inventory. Downstream raw material and finished - product inventories are also neutral. The overall inventory is neutral. The basis of 09 contract is around 0 in North China and + 120 in East China. The overseas markets in Europe, the US, and Southeast Asia are stable. The import profit is around - 400, with no further increase for now. The price of non - standard HD injection molding is stable, other price spreads are oscillating, and LD is weakening. In June, the number of maintenance activities is decreasing month - on - month, and the domestic linear production is increasing. Pay attention to the LL - HD conversion and US price quotes. The new production facilities in 2025 will bring significant pressure, so focus on their commissioning [11] - From June 17th to June 23rd, the Northeast Asian ethylene price remained at 840 on June 23rd. The daily change in the North China LL price was - 5, the East China LD price was - 50, and the number of warehouse receipts decreased by 49 [11] Group 3: Polypropylene (PP) - The upstream (Sinopec and PetroChina) and mid - stream of polypropylene are reducing inventory.

The non - standard price spread is neutral. The European and US markets are stable. The PDH profit is around - 1000, propylene prices are oscillating, and the powder production start - up rate is stable. The拉丝 production scheduling is neutral. In June, the supply is expected to increase slightly month - on - month. Currently, downstream orders are average, and raw material and finished - product inventories are neutral. In the context of over - capacity, the 09 contract is expected to face moderate to excessive pressure. If exports continue to grow or there are more PDH plant maintenance activities, the supply pressure can be eased to a neutral level [11] - From June 17th to June 23rd, the Shandong propylene price increased by 390, the East China PP price decreased by 30, and the number of warehouse receipts decreased by 13 [11] Group 4: Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) - The basis has strengthened to 09 - 150, and the factory - pickup basis is - 420. Downstream start - up is seasonal, and there is a strong willingness to hold inventory at low prices. The mid - and upstream inventories are continuously decreasing. In summer, the northwest plants have seasonal maintenance, and the load is between the spring maintenance and the high production in Q1. In June, focus on the commissioning of new facilities and the sustainability of exports. Near - term export orders are decent. In June, pay attention to the Politburo meeting and the US interest - rate decision. Coal prices are weak, the cost of semi - coke is weak, and calcium carbide may have difficulty expanding profits as PVC plants undergo maintenance. The FOB counter - offer for caustic soda exports is 400. The comprehensive profit of PVC is - 500. Currently, the static inventory is at a high level but is continuously decreasing. The downstream performance is mediocre, and the macro - situation is neutral. Pay attention to exports, coal prices, commercial housing sales, terminal orders, and start - up rates [13] - From June 17th to June 23rd, the northwest calcium carbide price increased by 25, the Shandong caustic soda price decreased by 25, and other prices remained unchanged [12][13]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - PX: Due to intensified geopolitical conflicts, both domestic and imported PX supplies are tight, leading to a continuous upward trend. It is recommended to go long on PX and short on SC. The PXN spread has expanded to $261/ton, and short - term calendar spread arbitrage (buy near - term and sell far - term) is advisable [7][8]. - PTA: Supported by cost factors, both the single - side position and the calendar and basis spreads are strong. Despite increased maintenance by polyester bottle - chip and short - fiber factories, PTA supply remains tight, causing the basis to strengthen significantly [8]. - MEG: With the shutdown of Iranian ethylene glycol plants, MEG is expected to be in a short - term upward - trending and volatile state. It is recommended to reduce the position of going long on PTA and short on MEG. Attention should be paid to the operating status and shipping changes of Iranian ethylene glycol plants under the Israel - Iran conflict [8]. 3.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - **Polyester Industry Chain**: The geopolitical situation in the Middle East has signs of escalation, and oil prices have rebounded significantly. However, under the expectation of weak supply and demand, there is also significant pressure for oil prices to continue rising. If there is no further positive news, oil prices may face a correction. PX supply has increased significantly recently, and the supply - demand margin has weakened, but it still has support in the short term. PTA's supply - demand margin has also weakened, but it has support at low levels. Ethylene glycol is expected to be weak in the short term. Short - fiber has a situation of weak supply and demand, and bottle - chip's supply - demand is expected to improve in June [2]. - **Methanol Industry**: The supply of methanol is generally in a loose pattern, and the demand side has a situation where MTO has mostly increased its load but downstream profits have deteriorated. The price can be operated in the range of 2200 - 2350 [21]. - **Styrene Industry**: The price of pure benzene has risen slightly, and the supply of styrene has increased. Downstream 3S profits have improved, and port inventories have decreased slightly. It is recommended to wait and see in the short term and pay attention to the short - selling opportunities caused by the resonance of raw material ends in the medium term [26]. - **PVC and Caustic Soda Industry**: The supply of caustic soda has declined recently, and there is pressure on supply and demand in the short term. It is recommended to exit the 7 - 9 positive spread. PVC is expected to fluctuate in the short term and maintain a short - selling idea in the long term [71]. - **PE and PP Industry**: PE has a small increase in domestic supply and a decrease in imports, with limited supply pressure in June. PP has new capacity coming on - stream in June - July, and there is significant pressure on inventory accumulation [74]. - **Urea Industry**: The domestic urea market has a lackluster trading atmosphere, and the futures and spot prices continue to decline. It is expected to remain weak in the short term, and attention should be paid to whether the adjustment of summer agricultural fertilizer preparation and export policies can improve the situation [82]. - **Crude Oil Industry**: Overnight crude oil prices oscillated and declined due to the fading of geopolitical risk premiums. It is recommended to take a short - term bullish approach, pay attention to the expansion opportunities of the monthly spread on the arbitrage side, and consider buying a straddle structure on the options side [86]. 3.

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content 2. Report Core Viewpoints - **Methanol**: High imports are materializing, inventory accumulation is starting, and the futures price is undervalued. It's in a phase of negative factor realization. With an unstable macro - environment and weak methanol prices in Europe and the US, the unilateral price direction is hard to determine. Due to the low valuation, a long - position strategy at low prices is preferable [1]. - **Plastic (Polyethylene)**: The overall inventory of polyethylene is neutral. The 09 basis is around 0 in North China and +120 in East China. Import profits are around - 400 with no further increase for now. Non - standard HD injection prices are stable, and LD is weakening. In June, maintenance decreases and domestic linear production increases. Attention should be paid to LL - HD conversion and US quotes, as well as new device commissioning [6]. - **PP (Polypropylene)**: Upstream and mid - stream inventories of polypropylene are decreasing. The basis is +100, non - standard price differentials are neutral, and import profits are around - 500. Exports are good this year. In June, supply is expected to increase slightly, and downstream orders are average. Under the background of over - capacity, the 09 contract is under moderate to excessive pressure, which can be relieved if exports increase or PDH device maintenance increases [6]. - **PVC**: The basis has strengthened. Downstream has a strong willingness to hold inventory at low prices. Mid - and upstream inventories are continuously decreasing. In June, attention should be paid to new device commissioning and export sustainability. The current static inventory is decreasing from a high level, and downstream performance is average. Attention should be paid to factors such as exports, coal prices, and terminal orders [10]. 3. Summaries by Commodity Methanol - **Price Data**: From May 30 to June 6, 2025, the Jiangsu spot price increased from 2265 to 2322, and the import profit remained at 320.

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Report's Core View - Given the unclear outcome of the US - Iran negotiation, lack of clear OPEC production increase data, and the support from shale oil, it's not advisable to chase short positions even if the negotiation is successful. Short - term, it's better to stay on the sidelines for crude oil [1]. - For methanol, considering the ample supply and weak macro - environment, there may be a further decline. One - sided trading can focus on short positions on rallies, and for cross - variety trading, pay attention to the opportunity of going long on the 09 - contract PP - 3MA spread [3]. - For urea, with high supply and lukewarm demand, the price is expected to have no obvious trend. One - sided trading is recommended to stay on the sidelines [5]. - For rubber, it shows a strong - side oscillation. Short - term long or neutral thinking is recommended, with short - term operations and quick in - and - out. Also, pay attention to the band - trading opportunity of going long on RU2601 and short on RU2509 [9][11]. - For PVC, although the inventory decline is fast in the short - term, due to the expectation of strong supply and weak demand, the price is expected to oscillate weakly, but beware of the rebound if the weak export expectation is not realized [13]. - For polyethylene, the short - term contradiction has shifted from cost - driven to supply - driven decline. With no new capacity planned in June, the price may oscillate [15]. - For polypropylene, with planned capacity release in June and the approaching of the seasonal off - season, the price is expected to be bearish in June [16]. - For PX, the maintenance season is ending, the de - stocking is expected to slow down in June, and it will re - enter the de - stocking cycle in the third quarter. The price is expected to oscillate at the current valuation level [18]. - For PTA, it will continue to de - stock, and the processing fee is supported. The absolute price is expected to oscillate at the current valuation level [19][20]. - For ethylene glycol, the industry is in the de - stocking stage, but there is a risk of valuation correction as the maintenance season on the supply side is ending [21].

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings No information about industry investment ratings is provided in the content. 2. Core Views of the Report Crude Oil - International crude oil futures prices have been rising, supported by a weakening US dollar and geopolitical risks. The supply - side OPEC+ production increase has alleviated concerns, but trade frictions suppress demand. After the holiday, the short - term trend depends on the US dollar, geopolitical situation, and supply - demand re - balancing. Unilateral trading can be in a slightly bullish direction, with WTI in the range of [59, 69], Brent [61, 71], and SC [440, 500]. Pay attention to the rebound opportunity of INE spreads and consider buying a straddle option to capture post - holiday volatility [8]. Styrene - In June, the supply - demand of styrene is expected to gradually become looser, and the price remains under pressure. However, due to tight spot circulation, the near - end price may fluctuate. It is advisable to take a short - selling approach [2]. Chlor - Alkali - For caustic soda, short - term spot prices remain strong. Before the fundamentals significantly weaken or warehouse receipts flow out, consider expanding the spread between the near - month and September contracts. For PVC, in the long - term, supply - demand contradictions are prominent. In June, supply pressure is expected to increase, and demand is weak. It is recommended to take a short - selling approach, with an operating range of 4500 - 5000, while also paying attention to macro - level disturbances [30][40]. Urea - The core contradiction of urea lies in high supply and weak demand expectations. Currently, supply is abundant, and demand is in a seasonal off - peak. After the Dragon Boat Festival, the market will test whether agricultural fertilizer procurement can start effectively. If not, it may further pressure the market [44]. Polyolefin - For plastics, there is an expectation of inventory reduction in early June due to increased maintenance and less imports. For PP, supply pressure will increase as maintenance ends. Demand lacks sustainability after a round of replenishment. Unilateral trading for PP can be short - biased at high prices, and the LP spread is expected to widen [46]. Polyester Industry Chain - **PX**: In June, PX supply - demand is expected to be tight, but may weaken after mid - June. It is expected to fluctuate at a high level. Consider short - selling at high levels, gradually exit the PX9 - 1 positive spread, and look for opportunities to narrow the PX - SC spread [50]. - **PTA**: In June, PTA supply - demand remains tight but may weaken in late June. It is expected to fluctuate at a high level. Consider short - selling at high levels and exit the TA9 - 1 positive spread at high prices [50]. - **MEG**: In June, the supply - demand structure of ethylene glycol is good, with inventory reduction expectations. Consider buying EG09 at around 4200 and taking a positive spread for EG9 - 1 [50]. - **Short - fiber**: In June, short - fiber supply - demand is expected to be weak. It is expected to fluctuate at a high level following the cost. Consider expanding the PF July processing fee around 800 [50]. - **Bottle chips**: In June, bottle chip supply - demand is expected to improve, and processing fees will be supported. Consider expanding the processing fee at the lower end of the 350 - 600 yuan/ton range [50]. 3. Summaries by Relevant Catalogs Crude Oil - **Price and Spread Data**: On June 3, Brent was at $65.12/barrel, WTI at $63.05/barrel. Some spreads such as Brent M1 - M3 and WTI M1 - M3 decreased, while SC M1 - M3 increased. Refined oil prices generally rose, and some cracking spreads decreased [8]. Styrene - **Price and Spread Data**: On May 30, most upstream prices decreased, and some styrene - related prices and spreads also changed. For example, styrene - pure benzene spread decreased by 2.5%. The supply - demand of styrene is expected to loosen in June [2]. Chlor - Alkali - **PVC and Caustic Soda Data**: On May 30, most PVC and caustic soda spot and futures prices were stable or changed slightly. Caustic soda exports had a small profit change, and PVC exports' profit increased significantly. In June, caustic soda maintenance is high, and PVC supply pressure is expected to increase [30][40]. Urea - **Futures and Related Data**: On May 30, most urea futures prices decreased slightly. Supply is high, with daily production increasing, and demand is weak, in a seasonal off - peak [44]. Polyolefin - **PE and PP Data**: On May 30, PE and PP futures prices decreased. Some spreads and basis values changed. In early June, plastics may see inventory reduction, while PP supply pressure will increase later [46]. Polyester Industry Chain - **Price and Spread Data**: On May 30, upstream and downstream prices in the polyester industry chain changed. For example, PX prices decreased, and some polyester product prices and cash - flows also changed. Different products in the polyester chain have different supply - demand and price trends in June [50].
