Report Summary 1. Investment Rating No investment rating provided in the report. 2. Core Views - **Methanol**: The inland price has bottomed out, and the port is trading on significant inventory reduction. However, the pre - condition for significant inventory reduction is high MTO开工. Currently, MTO profit is average, which restricts the upside of methanol. There are expected to be 2 - 3 Venezuelan ships per month, with an average of 80,000 - 100,000 tons per month. Pay attention to subsequent developments. In the short term, shipments may remain normal. Also, monitor the change in oil prices. The upside of methanol is limited because other downstream sectors are weak, but if oil prices boost other sectors, the upside may be unlocked [2]. - **Plastic (Polyethylene)**: The inventory of Sinopec and PetroChina (two - oil) is neutral year - on - year. Upstream two - oil and coal - chemical industries are reducing inventory, social inventory is flat, downstream raw material and finished - product inventories are neutral. Overall inventory is neutral. The 09 basis is around - 110 in North China and - 50 in East China. The import profit is around - 200, with no further increase for now. The price of non - standard HD injection molding is stable, other price differentials are fluctuating, and LD is weakening. The number of September maintenance is flat month - on - month, and the recent domestic linear production has decreased month - on - month. Pay attention to the LL - HD conversion and US quotes. In 2025, the pressure from new plants is significant, so focus on the commissioning of new plants [6]. - **Polypropylene**: The upstream two - oil and mid - stream inventories are reducing. In terms of valuation, the basis is - 60, the non - standard price differential is neutral, and the import profit is around - 700. Exports have been good this year. The non - standard price differential is neutral. The PDH profit is around - 400, propylene is fluctuating, and the powder production start - up rate is stable. The拉丝 production scheduling is neutral. The subsequent supply is expected to increase slightly month - on - month. Downstream orders are average currently, and raw material and finished - product inventories are neutral. Under the background of over - capacity, the 01 contract is expected to face moderate to excessive pressure. If exports continue to increase or there are many PDH plant overhauls, the supply pressure can be alleviated to a neutral level [7]. - **PVC**: The basis remains at 01 - 270, and the factory - pickup basis is - 480. Downstream start - up is seasonally weakening, and the willingness to hold inventory at low prices is strong. The inventories of mid - and upstream are continuously accumulating. In summer, Northwest plants have seasonal overhauls, and the load center is between the spring overhaul and the high production in Q1. In Q4, focus on the commissioning of new plants and the sustainability of exports. The recent export orders have slightly declined. The coal market sentiment is positive, the cost of semi - coke is stable, and the profit of calcium carbide is under pressure due to PVC overhauls. The FOB counter - offer for caustic soda exports is 380. Pay attention to whether subsequent export orders can support the price of high - grade caustic soda. The comprehensive profit of PVC is - 100. Currently, the static inventory contradiction is accumulating slowly, the cost is stable, downstream performance is mediocre, and the macro - environment is neutral. Pay attention to exports, coal prices, commercial housing sales, terminal orders, and start - up rates [7]. 3.

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No investment rating information is provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints - **Methanol**: The current trading logic is the transmission of port pressure to the inland. Although there is seasonal stocking demand and new device stocking increment in the inland later, the port will continuously form a reverse flow impact. The current price is benchmarked against the inland price, and the inland behavior is crucial. Xingxing is expected to start operation in early September, but the inventory is still accumulating. The reverse flow can relieve port pressure but will impact the inland valuation. Currently, the valuation and inventory are average, and the driving force is weak. Wait before bottom - fishing, considering import variables such as India's purchase of Iranian methanol and unplanned maintenance [2]. - **Plastic (Polyethylene)**: The inventory of Sinopec and PetroChina is neutral year - on - year. The upstream is destocking, and the social inventory is flat. The downstream raw material and finished product inventories are neutral. The overall inventory is neutral. The 09 basis is around - 110 in North China and - 50 in East China. The foreign markets in Europe, America, and Southeast Asia are stable. The import profit is around - 200, with no further increase for now. The price of non - standard HD injection molding is stable, and other price differences are fluctuating. The LD is weak. The maintenance in September is flat compared to the previous period, and the domestic linear production has decreased recently. Pay attention to the LL - HD conversion and US quotes. The pressure from new devices in 2025 is large, and focus on the commissioning of new devices [6]. - **PP (Polypropylene)**: The upstream and mid - stream of polypropylene are destocking. The basis is - 60, the non - standard price difference is neutral, and the import profit is around - 700. The export situation has been good this year. The non - standard price difference is neutral. The European and American markets are stable. The PDH profit is around - 400, the propylene price is fluctuating, and the powder production start - up is stable. The拉丝 production arrangement is neutral. The subsequent supply is expected to increase slightly month - on - month. The downstream orders are average currently, and the raw material and finished product inventories are neutral. Under the background of over - capacity, the pressure on the 01 contract is expected to be moderately excessive. If the export volume continues to increase or there are many PDH device overhauls, the supply pressure can be alleviated to a neutral level [8]. - **PVC**: The basis is maintained at 01 - 270, and the factory - delivery basis is - 480. The downstream start - up is seasonally weakening, and the willingness to hold goods at low prices is strong. The mid - upstream inventory is continuously accumulating. The northwest devices have seasonal overhauls in summer, and the load center is between the spring overhaul and the high - production period in Q1. In Q4, focus on the commissioning and export sustainability. The recent export orders have declined slightly. The coal sentiment is positive, the cost of semi - coke is stable, and the profit of calcium carbide is under pressure due to PVC overhauls. The export counter - offer of caustic soda is FOB380. Pay attention to whether the subsequent export orders can support the high price of caustic soda. The comprehensive profit of PVC is - 100. Currently, the static inventory contradiction is accumulating slowly, the cost is stable, the downstream performance is average, and the macro situation is neutral. Pay attention to exports, coal prices, commercial housing sales, terminal orders, and start - up [8]. 3.
