多重地缘因素共振 油价偏强运行!伊朗拒绝美国“交铀”要求!
Qi Huo Ri Bao· 2025-09-28 00:17
早上好!先来看重要资讯。 伊朗拒绝浓缩铀换"制裁暂缓期"要求 据央视消息,伊朗总统佩泽希齐扬27日说,伊朗已拒绝美国提出的用全部浓缩铀换取对伊三个月"制裁 暂缓期"的要求。 据伊朗伊斯兰共和国通讯社当日报道,佩泽希齐扬在结束参加联合国大会离开纽约回国前接受记者采访 时说,在联合国大会期间,伊朗与多个欧洲国家磋商并达成一定成果,但美方要求伊朗交出所有浓缩 铀,以换取三个月"制裁暂缓期",这"绝对无法接受"。 佩泽希齐扬还表示,伊朗已为应对"快速恢复制裁"机制激活作出必要安排。 伊朗外交部27日发表声明说,由于英、法、德三国在利用伊核协议争端解决机制、推动恢复联合国安理 会已终止的对伊制裁决议方面采取了"不负责任的做法",伊朗驻上述三国大使已被召回伊朗进行磋商。 安理会26日就一份旨在延长2015年伊朗核问题全面协议与核可该协议的安理会第2231号决议的决议草案 进行表决,但未获通过。该决议草案由中国和俄罗斯提出,如获通过,伊核协议和安理会第2231号决议 将延期6个月,各方可在此期间通过外交谈判达成妥协。 伊朗外长阿拉格齐当日在参加安理会会议时就未通过决议草案批评美国、英国、法国、德国。他表示, 第2231号决 ...

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings - No investment ratings are provided in the reports. 2. Core Views of the Reports Polyester Industry - PX: Supply is expected to increase as maintenance devices restart, but demand may weaken. However, with the approaching peak season, the demand may strengthen. Short - term PX11 can be overweighted in the chemical sector, and the PX - SC spread can be widened [2]. - PTA: Supply is affected by planned outages due to low processing fees, but demand may pick up. It can be overweighted in the chemical sector, and TA1 - 5 may show a positive spread repair in the short - term [2]. - Ethylene Glycol: Domestic supply increases, port inventory is low, and demand is expected to improve. Short - term put option EG2601 - P - 4350 sellers can hold [2]. - Short - fiber: Supply increases as maintenance devices restart, and demand may improve with the approaching peak season, but the sustainability of downstream restocking is weak. PF10 can be overweighted in the chemical sector [2]. - Bottle - chip: In the peak consumption season, production cuts lead to inventory reduction, but the cost increase suppresses processing fees. PR is similar to PTA, and the main contract processing fee is expected to fluctuate between 350 - 500 yuan/ton [2]. Polyolefin Industry - PP: The price center moves down, and the weighted profit is compressed. The supply and demand both increase, achieving de - stocking. The LPO1 spread can be held [7]. - PE: The price is stable with a downward trend. High - maintenance continues until September, and the upstream shows de - stocking while the mid - stream accumulates inventory [7]. Methanol Industry - The valuation is neutral. The inland supply is high, but low inventory supports the price. The demand may improve as some MTO devices are expected to restart. The 01 contract may see a balance improvement after mid - September [9]. Chlor - alkali Industry - Caustic Soda: The spot price is expected to continue to rise steadily, but the short - term futures may face resistance. It is recommended to take profit on previous long positions [34]. - PVC: The cost - driven effect weakens, and the supply is expected to increase while the demand is weak. It is advisable to short at high prices [34]. Crude Oil Industry - The short - term oil price is affected by macro risks, geopolitical factors, and supply uncertainties. It is recommended to wait and see on the long - short side, and look for opportunities to widen the option spread after the volatility increases [38]. Urea Industry - The supply expands while the demand is weak, dragging down the price. Attention should be paid to the start time and intensity of autumn fertilizer preparation and the change in urea procurement by compound fertilizer enterprises [40]. Pure Benzene - Styrene Industry - Pure Benzene: The supply is sufficient, and the fundamental improvement is marginal. BZ2603 should follow the fluctuations of oil price and styrene [43]. - Styrene: The demand is expected to improve, but the high supply and inventory pressure prices. EB10 can be shorted in the short - term [43]. 3.

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided regarding the industry investment rating. 2. Report's Core View - The domestic rubber and synthetic rubber futures markets are expected to maintain a moderately strong and volatile trend. The 2601 contract of Shanghai rubber futures and the 2510 contract of synthetic rubber futures are both likely to show a moderately strong performance on August 20, 2025 [1][5][7]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs 3.1 Shanghai Rubber (RU) - **Market Trends**: In the short - term, medium - term, and intraday, the market shows a volatile trend, with an intraday moderately strong bias. The overall view is a moderately strong operation [1][5]. - **Core Logic**: The market is driven by supply - demand fundamentals. Currently, the Southeast Asian rubber - tapping season and continuous new rubber output in domestic production areas lead to high supply pressure. However, the heavy - truck sales and new - car production and sales data in August are better than expected, showing a significant year - on - year increase. On the night of August 18, 2025, the 2601 contract of Shanghai rubber futures closed slightly up 0.06% at 15,835 yuan/ton, and is expected to continue the moderately strong trend on August 19 [5]. 3.2 Synthetic Rubber (BR) - **Market Trends**: In the short - term, medium - term, and intraday, the market shows a volatile trend, with an intraday moderately strong bias. The overall view is a moderately strong operation [1][7]. - **Core Logic**: The market is also driven by supply - demand fundamentals. The domestic synthetic rubber plant load is stable, resulting in continuous supply pressure. The heavy - truck sales and new - car production and sales data in August are better than expected, showing a significant year - on - year increase. On the night of August 18, 2025, the 2510 contract of synthetic rubber futures closed slightly up 0.17% at 11,830 yuan/ton, and is expected to continue the moderately strong trend on August 19 [7].

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings No industry investment ratings are provided in the reports. 2. Core Views of the Reports Methanol - The inland maintenance is expected to peak in early August. Currently, the production volume remains at a high level year - on - year. This week, the port has significantly accumulated inventory, the basis is stable, there are many imports in August, downstream demand is weak due to low profits, MTO profits are low, and the situation of low - profit and high - load operation is unsustainable. Pay attention to the subsequent start - up situation. For the 09 contract, there is significant inventory accumulation. The 01 contract has expectations of a seasonal peak season and Iranian plant shutdowns. After the near - end weakens significantly, consider building positions at low prices [1][2]. Polyolefins - On the supply side, PP maintenance is starting to decline, PE maintenance will increase in mid - to - late August, imports remain at a low level, and new production capacity is expected to be put into operation from August to September. On the demand side, the downstream start - up of PP/PE is at a low level, raw material inventories have decreased to a low level, and there is potential for restocking during the subsequent peak season. The overall valuation is moderately high, and the inventory of the upper and middle reaches is being depleted. The fundamental contradictions are not significant. The strategy is to take profit on the previous unilateral short positions at 7200 - 7300 near 7000 and continue to hold the LP01 position [7]. Polyester Industry Chain - **PX**: Some PX maintenance units have restart expectations, and PX supply will increase marginally in August. Although there are new PTA units being put into operation, there are many unplanned PTA unit shutdowns in August due to low processing fees. The PX supply - demand situation is expected to weaken marginally in August, and with weak oil price support, PX will fluctuate weakly. However, the medium - term supply - demand pressure is not significant, and the downward space for PX is limited. The strategy is to pay attention to the support near 6500 - 6600 for PX11 and mainly expand the PX - SC spread at low levels [10]. - **PTA**: Due to continuously low processing spreads, the planned shutdowns of PTA units have increased in August, and the PTA supply - demand situation has improved compared to expectations. However, with the commissioning of the new Hailun Petrochemical PTA unit, the medium - term PTA supply - demand situation is expected to be weak, and the PTA basis will operate weakly. Overall, considering the weak supply - demand expectations and the trend of oil prices, PTA will fluctuate weakly. However, due to low PTA processing fees and limited PX supply - demand pressure, and with the expectation of the "Golden September and Silver October" peak season, the downward space for PTA is limited. The strategy is to pay attention to the support near 4600 for TA01, conduct reverse arbitrage for TA1 - 5 at high prices, and mainly expand the PTA surface processing fee at low levels (around 250) [10]. - **MEG**: In terms of domestic supply, multiple coal - to - MEG units are restarting or increasing production in August, but the 1.9 - million - ton - per - year MEG unit of Shenghong Refining & Chemical is currently shut down due to an accident, and the restart time is undetermined, so the domestic supply recovery is postponed. In terms of overseas supply, the Ma Petroleum and Saudi Sharg3 units have shut down temporarily, and the restart time is unclear. The MEG import volume may be revised downwards. On the demand side, terminal orders are weak during the traditional off - season, but as the high - temperature period and the off - season are coming to an end, the polyester load will gradually increase. Overall, the short - term MEG supply - demand situation is expected to improve, and it is expected to fluctuate within a range. The strategy is that EGO9 is expected to fluctuate in the range of 4350 - 4500 [10]. - **Short - fiber**: The short - fiber supply and demand are both increasing. On the supply side, the previously shut - down short - fiber plants are gradually restarting. In terms of demand, with the approaching of the traditional "Golden September and Silver October" peak season, there are improvements in local autumn and winter orders at the terminal, and the downstream yarn - coating demand has increased slightly compared to last year, providing some support for prices. However, the short - term supply - demand driving force is limited, and the weak oil price trend may cause the absolute price of short - fiber to fluctuate weakly. The strategy is the same as that for TA in a single - side trade; the surface processing fee will fluctuate in the range of 800 - 1100, and the upward and downward driving forces are both limited [10]. - **Bottle - grade polyester**: August is still the peak season for soft - drink consumption, and large bottle - grade polyester plants such as Sanfangxiang, China Resources, Yisheng, and Wankai are maintaining production cuts. As the production - cut time extends, even though the demand is average, the production - cut effect is gradually emerging, as reflected in the slow depletion of current bottle - grade polyester inventory, which provides support for the processing fee. The absolute price still follows the cost side. The precondition for the processing fee to expand is an increase in demand. It is necessary to pay attention to whether the production cuts of bottle - grade polyester units will further increase and the downstream follow - up situation. The strategy is that the PR single - side trade is the same as that for PTA, the main - contract surface processing fee of PR is expected to fluctuate in the range of 350 - 500 yuan/ton, and consider going long on the processing fee at low prices in the short term [10]. Crude Oil - Oil prices are rebounding. The current main trading logic is the game between geopolitical risk uncertainties and weak demand expectations. Specifically, the meeting between US and Russian leaders may cause oil price fluctuations. If the summit fails, the threat of secondary sanctions from the US on Russian oil buyers such as China and India may lead to supply disruptions in Russia, triggering a short - term bullish risk premium and driving oil prices to rebound slightly. However, the loose supply - demand fundamentals suppress the upward space. The IEA expects the supply surplus pressure to become increasingly prominent from 2025 - 2026, and the production increase of OPEC+ and the growth of non - member supply will further increase the loose pressure. In the short term, the unexpected increase in EIA US crude oil inventories has also strengthened the bearish sentiment. Macroscopically, the expectation of a Fed rate cut in September provides some support for demand, but the impact is limited and lagging. Overall, the market remains in a stalemate before the summit results. As the weekend approaches, oil prices face two - way risks and the volatility will intensify. It is recommended to remain on the sidelines for single - side trades and consider widening the spreads between October - November/December. The support levels are [60, 61] for WTI, [63, 64] for Brent, and [470, 480] for SC. On the options side, opportunities for volatility contraction can be captured [14]. Chlor - alkali Industry - **Caustic soda**: The delivery volume of caustic soda to the main downstream has increased, and the non - aluminum downstream rigid demand has followed up. The overall demand performance has been good recently. However, some units in East China will resume operation next week. There will be fewer maintenance enterprises in the future than before, and the supply is expected to increase. In South China, it is the off - season for non - aluminum industries, but the supply is increasing. The exports of East China enterprises are mostly previous orders, and the non - aluminum market is also average. It is expected that the number of warehouse receipts in the main production areas will increase in August, which will also have a certain negative impact. It is expected that the rebound height will be limited. In the future, attention can be paid to the purchasing situation of alumina enterprises [76]. - **PVC**: On the supply side, new production capacity is being gradually put into operation, the domestic trade is weak, the spot trading is weak, and the number of warehouse receipts on the futures market is increasing. The inventory pressure continues to increase, and the demand is difficult to improve. In August, new domestic and foreign production capacity will continue to be released. Fujian Wanhua and Tianjin Bohua are expected to release production capacity in August, Gansu Yaowang plans to start production in August, and Qingdao Haiwan plans to start production in September. The release of new production capacity will put new pressure on the PVC supply side. On the downstream side, there is no expectation of improvement, the start - up rate of downstream product enterprises remains low, and the purchasing enthusiasm is weak. The industry is still in the off - season. Overall, the supply - demand pressure remains significant. The movement of coking coal will affect the PVC futures price from the cost side. It is recommended to remain on the sidelines for short - term trades [76]. Pure Benzene - Styrene - **Pure benzene**: In the third quarter, there are expectations of improvement in the pure benzene supply - demand situation compared to the previous quarter. With fewer port arrivals in August, port inventories are expected to decline, which will provide some short - term support for pure benzene prices. However, the overall supply of goods remains sufficient, and its own driving force is limited. It is expected that the short - term support for pure benzene will be relatively strong. However, with weak oil price support and weak medium - term supply - demand expectations, pure benzene will face some pressure. The strategy is that the BZ2603 single - side trade will follow the trends of oil prices and styrene [79]. - **Styrene**: In the short term, the overall styrene supply remains at a high level. However, as styrene profits are being compressed, some units have maintenance expectations; the overall load of the downstream 3S has increased. The short - term styrene supply - demand situation has improved marginally, and the port inventory continues to decline slightly, but the absolute level of port inventory is still high, and the fundamental driving force for styrene is limited. Coupled with the recent weak oil price trend, styrene may be dragged down in the short term. The strategy is to pay attention to the support near 7200 for EB09 and consider shorting on rebounds [79]. Urea - Recently, the futures market has been fluctuating weakly. The main trading logic is that the loose domestic supply - demand situation has dragged down the center of the futures price. Specifically, on the supply side, the production volume has increased, and the capacity utilization rate has improved. Although some enterprises are under maintenance, the overall supply is sufficient. On the demand side, agricultural demand is weak, industrial demand has limited growth, and in some regions, downstream production is restricted due to the military parade, resulting in temporary pressure on demand. The continuous inventory accumulation has further increased the market pressure. Although there is a certain amount of exports, the increase is limited, and the market's expectation for export fulfillment has cooled down, making it difficult to reverse the loose domestic supply - demand situation, which has led to the downward pressure on the futures price. In the future, pay attention to the resumption progress of maintenance enterprises and new maintenance plans, as well as the progress of the export side, the final confirmed volume of the Indian IPL tender, and China's supply proportion. In the short term, the futures market is likely to continue to operate weakly [86]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Methanol - **Prices and Spreads**: On August 14, the closing price of MA2601 was 2435, down 1.77% from the previous day; the closing price of MA2509 was 2340, down 1.47%.
