Summary of Conference Call Records Industry Overview - **Chlor-alkali Industry**: The PVC market is facing significant challenges due to weak real estate demand and export uncertainties. As of mid-October, the profit from externally sourced calcium carbide for PVC has further declined, reaching below negative 300 yuan, and expanding to a range of negative 350 to 400 yuan [1][3]. - **Soda Ash**: The industry is expected to see new capacity coming online in 2025, maintaining supply pressure. Soda ash prices have slightly decreased to around 2,450 yuan, with ECU profits falling to the range of 200 to 300 yuan, which is an improvement compared to August and September [1][6]. Key Points on PVC Market - **Capacity and Production**: By 2025, PVC capacity is projected to reach 33.94 million tons, with an increase of 2.6 million tons, marking an 8.3% growth, the highest in nearly a decade. However, weak real estate demand and export uncertainties are expected to keep the market fundamentals weak [2][4]. - **Inventory Levels**: PVC inventory levels are significantly higher than in previous years, with the latest inventory at 505,900 tons, a year-on-year increase of approximately 25%. High inventory is attributed to new capacity, reduced maintenance, and insufficient demand [5]. - **Export Outlook**: The export volume is expected to slightly decline in Q4 compared to Q3 due to the Indian anti-dumping policy being a core variable. However, the recent removal of BS certification requirements for PVC by India may reduce export volatility [4]. Key Points on Soda Ash Market - **Production and Supply**: The soda ash industry plans to add 1.5 million tons of new capacity in 2025, with a year-on-year growth of 2.9%. Current production is stable, with weekly output maintaining around 80,000 tons [6][8]. - **Export Performance**: From January to September 2025, soda ash exports reached approximately 3.098 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 46%, primarily to the overseas alumina industry [10]. - **Domestic Demand**: The domestic alumina industry maintains a high operating rate, supporting strong demand for soda ash. The textile and dyeing industry has also seen a recovery, contributing to stable soda ash demand [11][12]. LPG Market Insights - **Supply and Demand Dynamics**: In November, delays in port operations reduced LPG imports, but increased pressure is expected in late November. The PDH units' maintenance has led to a temporary decline in demand, but a recovery is anticipated in December [14][15]. - **Import Trends**: Domestic LPG production is expected to be around 40 million tons, with net imports of 19.4 million tons, accounting for 48% of total supply. The impact of U.S. tariffs has significantly reduced the share of U.S. LPG imports [15]. Natural Rubber Market Overview - **Price Stability**: Natural rubber prices have stabilized between 15,000 and 15,500 yuan. Despite concerns about inventory accumulation, current absolute inventory levels are not high, and no significant accumulation has been observed [24][25]. - **Demand Growth**: From January to September, natural rubber imports increased by 20%, indicating strong consumption. The total inventory levels are similar to last year, suggesting that the increased imports have been absorbed by the market [29]. - **Market Sentiment**: The market is currently dominated by short positions, with significant short interest remaining. However, the absence of strong long positions indicates a potential for price volatility [34][36]. Conclusion - The chlor-alkali and natural rubber markets are facing various challenges, including high inventory levels and weak demand. The soda ash market shows some resilience due to strong domestic demand, while the LPG market is adjusting to supply chain pressures. Overall, careful monitoring of export policies and domestic demand trends will be crucial for future market performance.

Core Viewpoint - The Indian government's sudden withdrawal of BIS certification for 14 chemical products, including PTA and PVC, is expected to significantly impact the polyester and PVC industries, potentially reviving export growth and market dynamics [1][2]. Group 1: Policy Changes - On November 12, 2025, the Indian Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) announced the immediate cancellation of BIS certification for PTA, MEG, PSF, FDY, POY, and PVC homopolymer, which had been in place for nearly two years [1][2]. - The BIS certification process for PVC has undergone multiple delays, with the original certification requirements announced on February 26, 2024, and subsequently postponed several times until the final cancellation in November 2025 [2]. Group 2: Export Impact - The implementation of BIS certification had a drastic negative effect on PTA exports from China to India, plummeting from 960,000 tons in 2022 to 380,000 tons in 2024, representing a decline from 28% to 8% of total PTA exports [3]. - Polyester exports, particularly for PTA and polyester filament yarn, were significantly affected, with monthly exports of polyester filament yarn dropping from over 70,000 tons in September 2023 to approximately 160,000 tons for the entire year of 2024 [3]. Group 3: Market Dynamics - Despite the challenges in the Indian market, other Asian countries have shown increased demand, with China's total polyester exports reaching 10.23 million tons in the first nine months of 2025, a year-on-year increase of 16.3% [4]. - The cancellation of BIS certification is expected to eliminate key barriers to entry for Chinese polyester products, potentially reversing the decline in PTA exports and providing support to the domestic polyester industry facing oversupply pressures [5][6]. Group 4: Future Outlook - Analysts believe that while the immediate impact of the BIS certification cancellation is positive, the long-term growth of polyester exports will still depend on overall demand in the Indian market and competition from overseas suppliers [6]. - For PVC, the cancellation is seen as a stabilizing factor for exports to India, although there may be a temporary decline in export volumes due to previous "export rush" phenomena and seasonal factors [6][7].

Core Viewpoint - The recent decline in temperature along the Yangtze River has led to a seasonal exit of aquaculture and a decrease in demand for rapeseed meal, but low inventory levels and supply tightness due to trade friction are supporting a rebound in rapeseed meal prices [2][5]. Group 1: Supply and Import Trends - China's rapeseed meal supply has contracted significantly, with a year-on-year decrease of 21.8% from January to September [3]. - During the same period, rapeseed imports fell by 42.2%, totaling 2.446 million tons, with imports from Canada dropping from 4.008 million tons to 2.33 million tons, a decline of 41.9% [3]. - The share of Canadian rapeseed meal in China's total imports has decreased from 72% to 49% year-on-year [3]. Group 2: Processing and Production Challenges - Domestic rapeseed oil mills are experiencing increased shutdowns despite high theoretical crushing profits, primarily due to rising import costs from anti-dumping policies and concerns over stringent inspections [4]. - The rapeseed crushing volume in October was only about 150,000 tons, and production is expected to remain low until the end of the year [4]. Group 3: Price Dynamics - Despite being in a traditional demand slump, low inventory levels are providing effective support for rapeseed meal prices, with coastal oil mills' rapeseed inventory dropping to a historical low of 6,000 tons by the end of October [5]. - The market is facing a tight supply of usable rapeseed meal, exacerbated by high costs due to a 100% anti-dumping tariff on Canadian rapeseed meal [5]. - Overall, while domestic demand for rapeseed meal is weak, low import volumes are likely to sustain low inventory levels, suggesting that rapeseed meal prices may strengthen and move away from historical lows [5].
