1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the content. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - **Copper**: Overnight, both domestic and international copper prices fluctuated and declined. The sudden conflict between the US and Iran has caused market turmoil, with panic and inflation expectations affecting the global financial market. LME copper inventory increased by 3,975 tons to 257,675 tons, and SHFE copper warehouse receipts increased by 5,287 tons to 295,881 tons. In the short term, there are both macro - risks and fundamental pressures, and the accumulation of inventory may trigger a revision of the previous supply - demand expectations. The copper price may have a second - round correction risk, but when the market has priced in the risks and the inventory accumulation ends, and positive signals are released by China and the US, the market may enter a stage of rising risk preference. It is recommended to adopt a strategy of buying on dips [1]. - **Aluminum**: Overnight, alumina, Shanghai aluminum, and aluminum alloy all fluctuated strongly. The price of SMM alumina stopped falling and rebounded. The spot discount of aluminum ingots remained stable. The reduction of production by large northern alumina plants and the seasonal consumption of raw material inventory by electrolytic aluminum plants led to a slight reduction in alumina inventory. However, the accumulation of futures warehouse receipts and the resumption of some overhauled production capacity after the festival will still suppress the upside. It is expected that the inventory will continue to decline slightly, and the alumina price will run weakly and stably. Due to the concentrated arrival of goods after the festival and insufficient manpower at the station, the logistics turnover efficiency is limited, and it is expected that the aluminum ingot inventory will continue to accumulate, with the peak likely to appear in mid - to - late March. The short - term supply - demand is in a mismatch stage, and attention should be paid to the improvement time of the aluminum ingot inventory accumulation efficiency [1][2]. - **Nickel**: Overnight, LME nickel fell 2.77% to $17,205 per ton, and Shanghai nickel fell 2.55% to 136,300 yuan per ton. The LME inventory remained at 287,976 tons, and SHFE warehouse receipts increased by 590 tons to 53,721 tons. The tightening of nickel ore quotas has led to a shortage of nickel ore supply, and the premium of nickel ore and nickel iron prices have strengthened. The cost is the core support for the nickel price. Currently, the inventory pressure of primary nickel is still large. It is advisable to continue to pay attention to the opportunity of lightly testing long positions near the cost line and the inventory situation of primary nickel. If the subsequent visible inventory can be significantly reduced, it may have a positive feedback on the price, and overseas macro - risks should be vigilant [2]. 3.

Group 1 - The PTA futures market is showing a strong upward trend, with the main contract opening at 5274.00 CNY/ton and reaching a high of 5410.00 CNY, reflecting an increase of approximately 2.95% [1] - Short-term supply and cost dynamics are in a tight balance, but there are concerns about weakening end-user demand and potential fluctuations in crude oil prices that could lead to temporary corrections [2] - After the Spring Festival, expectations of resumed operations and improved US-China trade relations are likely to benefit exports, with no new production capacity expected in the coming years, indicating a gradual tightening of industry supply [2] Group 2 - As the weaving machines begin to shut down for the holiday, polyester production is decreasing, leading to a gradual accumulation of finished product inventory, with demand expected to weaken before the Spring Festival [2] - The current PTA production is relatively high, and the industry's production control is significant, with inventory accumulation expected to be lower than in previous years [2] - Although polyester inventory is accumulating, it remains at a low level, and recent PTA production has decreased, indicating limited self-driven demand and a focus on following raw material price fluctuations [2]

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings - No industry investment ratings are provided in the reports. 2. Core Views of the Reports Methanol - Methanol futures fluctuated narrowly, with a firm basis and a somewhat subdued overall negotiation. The inland supply remained high, traditional demand was weak, and there was short - term pressure. However, under the expectations of spring maintenance and new production capacity, the long - term pressure might ease. The port inventory decreased slightly, but the MTO demand was weak, suppressing the price rebound. The risk premium from the reduction in imported methanol arrivals was gradually fading, and the geopolitical factors still had an impact [1]. Polyolefins (L2605, PP2605) - For PE, the HD - LL spread narrowed, the marginal supply of the standard product (LLDPE) was expected to increase, and demand entered the seasonal off - season with weakening downstream开工率. For PP, the supply - demand situation was weak on both sides, but the balance improved compared to the previous period. The weighted profit was repaired, and the far - month futures offered PDH hedging profits [2]. Natural Rubber - The supply in northern Thailand and northern Vietnam was decreasing, and overseas raw material prices stopped falling and rose, strengthening cost support. The demand of some semi - steel tire enterprises with a large proportion of European exports was sufficient, but the overall inventory of enterprises increased, and domestic sales were slow. The inventory in China continued to accumulate. The rubber price was expected to oscillate within the range of 15,500 - 16,500 yuan/ton [3]. Styrene and Pure Benzene - The supply - demand of pure benzene improved marginally, but the absolute level of port inventory was still high, and its own driving force was limited. Styrene was strong due to export - driven inventory reduction and unexpected device shutdowns, which drove up the price of pure benzene. However, the spread between styrene and pure benzene was expected to have limited room for further expansion. For styrene, although the short - term supply - demand was tight, there was an inventory accumulation expectation around the Spring Festival, and the upward space was limited [4]. Glass and Soda Ash - For soda ash, the main contract SA605 fell for five consecutive trading days. The supply was at a high level, demand did not improve significantly, and the factory inventory was at a historically high level. The futures price was expected to oscillate weakly in the short term. For glass, the main contract FG605 fell. The supply and demand were weak, and the inventory was still high. The futures price was expected to continue the weakening trend in the short term [5]. Urea - Urea futures oscillated and closed up, and the spot price was generally stable. The supply was sufficient in the short term, and demand from both agriculture and industry increased. The inventory continued to decline, and the price was expected to oscillate widely in the short term [6]. PVC and Caustic Soda - For caustic soda, the futures fell weakly, and the spot market price continued to decline. The supply - demand imbalance remained, with high inventory and weak demand, and the price was expected to continue to decline under pressure. For PVC, the futures opened low and moved lower, the supply was at a high level, and demand weakened before the festival. The price was expected to oscillate weakly in the short term, but the cost support limited the downward space [7]. Polyester Industry Chain - For PX, the supply was at a high level, and demand was weak. The overall supply - demand of PX and PTA was expected to weaken. For PTA, the supply - demand was expected to weaken in January, and it would follow raw material fluctuations. For MEG, there was a large - scale inventory accumulation expectation, and the price was under pressure. For short - fiber, the supply - demand was weak, and it would follow raw material fluctuations. For polyester bottle - chips, the supply decreased, and it would follow cost - end fluctuations [8]. Crude Oil - International oil prices rebounded. Geopolitical risks eased to some extent, but the instability remained. The temporary shutdown of two major oil fields in Kazakhstan and the increase in fuel demand due to the Arctic cold wave supported oil prices in the short term. However, the supply - demand expectation of crude oil was still weak, and the upward space of oil prices was limited. Brent crude oil was expected to oscillate between 60 - 66 dollars/barrel [9]. LPG - The LPG futures prices rose slightly. The refinery inventory ratio and port inventory decreased. The upstream refinery开工率 increased slightly, while the downstream PDH开工率 decreased. The price trend was affected by supply - demand and external market factors [11]. 3.

Report Summary 1. Report Information - Research Variety: Methanol [doc id='1'] - Report Cycle: Daily Report - Date: 20260114 2. Key Points from the Report a. Futures Market - Methanol futures latest price is 2,288 yuan/ton, with a change of +1.15%. The current basis is at a historically low level. The basis has significantly narrowed in the last 5 trading days due to the relatively stronger futures price. The current basis is lower than the one - year average, indicating that the futures market has a slightly better supply - demand expectation for the future than the spot market, with limited arbitrage space and weak delivery intention [doc id='2'] b. Influencing Factors - **Supply Side** - Domestic methanol capacity utilization remains high, but some plants are under maintenance due to profit losses, resulting in a slight increase in production. Internationally, the situation in Iran is disturbing export expectations, potentially leading to a marginal contraction in global supply. Potential supply - disturbing factors include the geopolitical conflict in Iran (high impact) and domestic environmental protection restrictions (medium impact) [doc id='4'] - Recent import volume has increased due to the arrival of previously low - priced international goods, but future Iranian export expectations are decreasing, which may lead to a reduction in imports. Influencing factors include the Iranian geopolitical situation (high impact) and exchange - rate fluctuations (medium impact). China has a high import dependence, and international supply changes significantly affect domestic prices [doc id='5'] - **Demand Side** - The operating rate of downstream MTO plants remains low, mainly due to limited profits (narrowing ethylene - methanol spread), and weak demand restricts price increases. Other downstream products like formaldehyde and dimethyl ether have stable demand without significant growth. The marginal change in consumption is neutral to weak [doc id='4'] - **Inventory** - Port inventories are continuously increasing and are at a historically high level, mainly due to increased imports and weak demand. Production enterprises tend to reduce inventories, but traders have insufficient willingness to replenish stocks. High inventories suppress prices, and the inventory - to - consumption ratio has increased, indicating a loose supply - demand pattern [doc id='5'] c. Market Outlook - In the short term, there is a game between the geopolitical disturbance in Iran on the supply side and high domestic inventories, and a game between weak demand and cost support on the demand side. Market hot - discussion topics include changes in Iranian exports, expectations of a rebound in MTO operating rates, and the rhythm of inventory reduction [doc id='7']

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided Group 2: Report's Core View - Myanmar's Wa State tin mine is resuming production slowly, which leads to a tight supply - demand expectation. However, multiple Fed officials' hawkish stance on a December rate cut may put pressure on tin prices, causing an adjustment in Shanghai tin prices [1] - On the supply side, the slow resumption of tin mines in Myanmar's Wa State and the closure of 1,000 illegal tin mines in Indonesia, along with a significant drop in domestic tin concentrate processing fees, indicate a tight supply - demand outlook. The operating rates of refined tin production capacity in Yunnan and Jiangxi have increased (or remained flat) compared to last week [1] - On the demand side, the daily processing fee of photovoltaic solder strips has decreased month - on - month. The new energy vehicle and AI sectors bring optimistic demand expectations, but high tin prices lead to less downstream just - in - time procurement [1] - In terms of inventory, the refined tin inventory in the Shanghai Futures Exchange, China's tin ingot social inventory, and the LME's refined tin inventory have all increased compared to last week [1] Group 3: Summary by Related Catalogs Shanghai Tin Market Data - On November 14, 2025, the closing price of the active contract of Shanghai tin spot was 298,140 yuan, a decrease of 6,690 yuan compared to the previous day. The trading volume was 151,802 lots, a decrease of 47,866 lots. The open interest was 43,594 lots, a decrease of 7,253 lots. The inventory was 8,699 tons, an increase of 234 tons [1] - The SMM No. 1 tin average price was 296,000 yuan, a decrease of 3,900 yuan. The Shanghai tin basis was - 2,140 yuan, an increase of 2,790 yuan. The spread between the near - month and the first - continuous contract of Shanghai tin was - 890 yuan, an increase of 1,440 yuan [1] London Tin Market Data - On November 14, 2025, the closing price of the LME 3 - month tin futures (electronic trading) was 36,860 US dollars, a decrease of 205 US dollars compared to the previous day. The spread between the LME tin futures 0 - 3 - month contract was - 87.5 US dollars, a decrease of 102.8 US dollars.

Report Industry Investment Ratings - No investment ratings were provided in the reports. Core Views Polyolefin Industry - PP shows both increasing supply and demand. Supply rises due to fewer maintenance shutdowns, and demand remains resilient in sectors like automotive and home appliances. However, there is a slight inventory build - up this week under the pressure of new production capacity. PE has weak supply and demand. Although unplanned maintenance eases supply pressure, imported goods are still abundant, and demand outside of agricultural films generally declines. There is overall insufficient support, and while inventory decreased this week, port inventory remains high. The cost side shows oil prices fluctuating and coal prices rising, with a slight improvement in PDH profits. High inventory and cost support continue to compete, and market expectations remain weak [2]. Methanol Industry - The Iranian gas restriction has been postponed. As of November 12th, Iran's shipments reached 430,000 tons, maintaining a relatively high level, putting significant pressure on the port methanol market. Prices and basis are weakly oscillating. In the inland market, Jiutai had an unexpected maintenance, but subsequent domestic production will continue to increase. Overseas gas restriction is less than expected. On the demand side, multiple MTO units reduced their loads due to profit reasons, and traditional downstream industries made rigid - demand purchases. The current market is trading under the "weak reality" logic, with the core contradiction being high port inventory. The inventory contradiction of the 01 contract cannot be resolved, and the weak reality will continue to be traded before the Iranian gas restriction [6]. Natural Rubber Industry - On the supply side, there are still occasional rainfall disruptions in overseas production areas, but overall, the output during the peak season is expected to be strong, and raw material prices have some downward space. The domestic production area is gradually entering the production - reduction period, and domestic raw material prices are firm. On the demand side, some northern regions are gradually entering the off - season this month, market sales are slowing down, and most companies are digesting inventory and purchasing as needed. As the market gradually digests inventory, some companies made small - scale replenishments in the middle of the month. In summary, short - term macro fluctuations are large, and rubber prices are expected to oscillate. In the future, attention should be paid to the raw material output in the peak - season of the main production areas and macro changes. If raw material supply is smooth, prices will be weak; if not, prices may be stable. It is expected that rubber prices will fluctuate around 15,000 - 15,500 [9]. Polyester Industry - **PX**: Asian and domestic PX loads remain high. In the short - term, PTA load is maintained, and previous terminal and polyester demand has improved more than expected. With low polyester inventory, it is expected that the load will remain relatively high from November to December, and there is still support on the short - term PX demand side. However, the overall support from the cost side is limited due to the weak supply - demand outlook for crude oil. Recently, the market has been trading on the expectations of PTA anti - involution and tight mid - term PX supply - demand. PX has shown a strong trend. But the terminal demand is entering the off - season, and there are concentrated PTA device maintenance plans in November, so the PX supply - demand outlook is loose, and price drivers are limited. Strategically, PX may oscillate in the range of 6,200 - 6,800 in the short - term, and short - selling can be considered above 6,800 [10]. - **PTA**: There are still many PTA device maintenance plans in November. Terminal and polyester demand has improved more than expected, and with low polyester inventory, it is expected that the load will remain relatively high from November to December. The PTA supply - demand is expected to be in a tight balance in November, but it is expected to be loose from February to the first quarter of next year. In terms of absolute price, the price driver is limited, and the support for PTA is limited. Although PTA - related stocks and absolute prices have been boosted by recent PTA production - cut rumors, the basis is still weakly operating. It is expected that the PTA rebound will be limited. Strategically, TA should be treated as oscillating in the range of 4,300 - 4,800 in the short - term, and short - selling on rallies is recommended; a rolling reverse spread for TA1 - 5 can be considered [10]. - **Ethylene Glycol**: Recently, some coal - based ethylene glycol plants have undergone maintenance, but Zhenhai Refining & Chemical's plant is restarting, and previously shut - down coal - based plants are planned to restart in the middle and late part of the month. Domestic supply remains high, and North American ethylene glycol load has increased to a high level, with no reduction in Middle - East supply. November will see a concentrated arrival of overseas ethylene glycol shipments. Although the polyester load is maintained above 91%, the expected high inventory build - up from November to December puts pressure on ethylene glycol prices. Strategically, hold out - of - the - money call options with a strike price of no less than 4,100 for EG2601; implement a reverse spread for EG1 - 5 on rallies [10]. - **Short - fiber**: Currently, short - fiber factories have low inventory levels and reasonable processing fees, so short - term supply remains relatively high. In terms of demand, there is an expectation of seasonal weakening in terminal demand in November. As raw material prices decline, short - fiber prices follow suit, and there has been some purchasing at low prices in the market. Overall, the short - term supply - demand pattern is still weak. Although there are expectations of PTA production cuts, the medium - term supply - demand weakness is difficult to change, and with the weak supply - demand outlook for upstream crude oil, price drivers are weak. It is expected that the rebound space for short - fiber is limited, and processing fees may be compressed. Strategically, the single - side strategy is the same as that for PTA; the processing fee on the futures market is expected to oscillate in the range of 800 - 1,100, and short - selling on rallies is recommended [10]. - **Bottle chips**: In mid - November, there are both maintenance and restart of the Huarun plant. According to Longzhong Information, the commissioning of Dongying Fuhai's new plant has been postponed, so there is little change in domestic supply. Considering the off - season market demand in November, the demand for soft drinks and catering has declined slightly, and the demand side provides insufficient support for bottle chips. The supply - demand situation for bottle chips remains loose. Therefore, bottle - chip social inventory is likely to enter the seasonal inventory - build - up phase. PR will mainly fluctuate with the cost side, and processing fees will be less boosted by supply - demand and will change dynamically with raw material costs. Strategically, the single - side strategy for PR is the same as that for PTA; the processing fee on the PR main - contract futures market is expected to fluctuate in the range of 300 - 450 yuan/ton [10]. Pure Benzene and Styrene Industry - **Pure Benzene**: Recently, there are new production capacities coming on - stream and plant restarts for pure benzene, and the import volume is expected to remain high. Although there are maintenance plans, overall supply may still be loose. On the demand side, some downstream industries are in the red, and the overall demand change is limited. Although the weekly inventory has decreased, the supply pressure remains. The overall supply - demand outlook for pure benzene is loose, and cost support is limited. Since the current valuation of pure benzene is low, future attention should be paid to plant changes. Strategically, BZ2603 has weak self - driving force and should be treated as short - selling on rallies following oil prices [11]. - **Styrene**: Two new styrene plants are operating stably, and previously shut - down plants have restarted, increasing production. There are still maintenance expectations in November, and overall supply may be maintained. The downstream EPS industry has entered the seasonal off - season, and due to high finished - product inventory, there are expectations of production cuts to maintain prices. Overall, the supply - demand outlook for styrene is in a tight balance, and price drivers are still insufficient. Attention should be paid to plant restarts, production cuts, and cost changes. Strategically, the price of EB12 should be treated as short - selling on rallies following cost changes [11]. LPG Industry - No overall view was provided in the report, only price, inventory, and开工率 data were presented [13]. Crude Oil Industry - Previously, due to the expectation that the US government shutdown would end soon and the strong performance of European diesel under continuous sanctions on Russia by Europe and the US, oil prices rebounded. However, the weak supply - demand pattern of crude oil still limits the increase. Overnight, on one hand, both OPEC and EIA monthly reports raised oil production forecasts, increasing concerns about supply over - capacity; on the other hand, there are signs of peace talks between Russia and Ukraine, and the geopolitical premium has declined. Overnight, oil prices dropped significantly. Under the continuous pressure of OPEC+ to increase production, the supply - demand outlook for crude oil in the fourth quarter is weak, and oil prices face pressure on rebounds. In the short - term, a bearish view is taken. Attention should be paid to the actual sanctions on Russia by Europe and the US and the geopolitical situation between Russia and Ukraine [16].

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings No information provided in the reports. 2. Core Views of the Reports Polyester Industry Chain - PX: In November, with few PX unit overhauls in Asia and China, but concentrated PTA unit overhauls, PX supply - demand is expected to be weak. PX absolute prices are expected to gradually face pressure. The strategy is to follow crude oil for unilateral trading and go short on rallies, and try to shrink the PX - SC spread [1]. - PTA: In November, there are still many PTA unit overhaul plans. With better - than - expected terminal and polyester demand in October and low polyester inventory, PTA supply - demand is expected to be slightly loose with a small inventory accumulation expectation. PTA will continue to oscillate at a low level. The strategy is to follow crude oil for unilateral trading and go short on rallies, and treat TA1 - 5 as a rolling reverse spread [1]. - Ethylene Glycol (MEG): In November, domestic supply is high, overseas shipments are concentrated, and inventory accumulation is expected to be high, putting pressure on the price. The strategy is to sell out - of - the - money call options on rallies and do a reverse spread on EG1 - 5 on rallies [1]. - Short Fiber: In November, supply is expected to remain high, demand may weaken seasonally, and cost support is limited. Short - fiber prices will gradually face pressure. The strategy is similar to PTA for PF12, and try to shrink the PF processing margin when it is above 1000 [1]. - Bottle Chips: In November, supply changes little, demand is in the off - season, and the supply - demand pattern remains loose. Bottle - chip prices will follow the cost side, and the processing margin will fluctuate with raw material costs. The strategy is similar to PTA for PR, and the main - contract processing margin is expected to fluctuate between 300 - 450 yuan/ton [1]. Chlor - Alkali Industry - Caustic Soda: In November, supply is expected to increase, demand support is weak, and prices are expected to be weakly stable. The overall trend is bearish, and it is necessary to track downstream restocking rhythm [2]. - PVC: In October, PVC prices continued to decline. In November - December, supply pressure will continue due to new capacity and high - season operation, and demand is in the off - season. Prices are expected to continue to oscillate at the bottom [2]. Methanol Industry The current market is trading the "weak reality" logic centered on high port inventory. Before the Iranian gas restriction, the weak reality will continue to be priced in. The 01 - contract inventory problem cannot be solved [3][4][5]. Pure Benzene - Styrene Industry - Pure Benzene: In November, supply is expected to be loose, demand support is limited, and although the East China port inventory decreased in October, it may increase later. Pure - benzene prices are expected to have weak driving force, but attention should be paid to unit changes [8]. - Styrene: In November, supply may slightly decrease, demand is expected to change little, and the supply - demand may be in a tight - balance state. However, high port inventory will limit price increases. The strategy is to be bearish on EB12 price rebounds [8]. Polyolefin Industry PP supply recovery has slowed down due to unplanned overhauls, while PE supply is expected to increase. Demand has recovered, but the agricultural film peak is approaching. Overall, supply will increase and demand will decrease, and there is inventory pressure on the 01 - contract. The 05 - contract may have long - term low - buying opportunities, and the monthly spread is suitable for reverse spreads [10]. 3.
