Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No investment rating information is provided in the report. 2. Core Views - **Methanol**: The current situation remains poor. Iranian plant shutdowns are slower than expected, and high imports are likely in November. The contradiction in the 01 contract is difficult to resolve. Port sanctions are expected to be resolved before the end of gas restrictions, but inventory reduction is difficult. Methanol has limited upside potential, and the downside space depends on the situation in the inland region. Recently, coal prices have strengthened, but it has no impact on profits [1]. - **Polyethylene**: Overall inventory is neutral. The 09 basis is about -110 in North China and -50 in East China. Import profits are around -200 with no further increase for now. Non-standard HD injection molding prices are stable, while other price differentials are fluctuating, and LD is weakening. Domestic linear production has decreased recently. Attention should be paid to LL - HD conversion and US price quotes. New device pressure is high in 2025 [6]. - **Polypropylene**: Upstream and mid - stream inventories are decreasing. The basis is -60, non - standard price differentials are neutral, and import profits are around -700. Exports have been good this year. Non - standard price differentials are neutral. PDH profits are around -400, and propylene prices are fluctuating. The subsequent supply is expected to increase slightly. Under the background of overcapacity, the 01 contract is expected to face moderate to excessive pressure. If exports continue to increase or there are many PDH device overhauls, the supply pressure can be alleviated to a neutral level [6]. - **PVC**: The basis remains at 01 - 270, and the factory - pickup basis is -480. Downstream开工率 is seasonally weakening, and the willingness to hold inventory at low prices is strong. Mid - and upstream inventories are continuously accumulating. In Q4, attention should be paid to production capacity implementation and export sustainability. Near - term export orders have slightly decreased. Coal sentiment is positive, and costs are stable. Static inventory contradictions are accumulating slowly. Attention should be paid to exports, coal prices, commercial housing sales, terminal orders, and开工率 [6]. 3.
