1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - For crude oil, although the geopolitical premium has dissipated and OPEC's production increase is minimal with supply not yet surging, short - term oil prices should not be overly bearish. A low - buy and high - sell range strategy is maintained, but it's advisable to wait and see for now to verify OPEC's export price - support intention when prices fall [3]. - For methanol, with the potential positive impact of Iranian plant shutdowns materializing, the market has stopped falling and stabilized. The short - term bottom is expected to have emerged. However, high supply will limit further upward movement, and the market is likely to shift to a sideways adjustment. It's recommended to wait and see on the single - side and focus on positive spread opportunities for inter - month spreads [4]. - For urea, the price is expected to gradually emerge from the bottom range. With supply remaining high and demand improving, the inventory is decreasing. It's suggested to consider buying at low prices [6][8]. - For rubber, a neutral stance is taken currently. It's recommended to wait and see or engage in short - term trading. Holding a hedging position of buying RU2601 and selling RU2609 is advised [10]. - For PVC, the domestic supply - demand situation is weak, but short - term valuation has dropped to a low level. A mid - term strategy of shorting on rallies is recommended before substantial industry production cuts [14]. - For pure benzene and styrene, the non - integrated profit of styrene is moderately low, with significant upward valuation repair potential. When the inventory reversal point occurs, one can go long on the non - integrated profit of styrene [17]. - For polyethylene, the OPEC + plan to pause production growth in Q1 2026 may lead to a bottoming of crude oil prices. The long - term strategy is to short the LL1 - 5 spread on rallies [20]. - For polypropylene, in a context of weak supply and demand with high inventory pressure, the market may be supported when the supply - surplus situation at the cost end changes in Q1 next year [22]. - For PX, it is expected to experience a slight inventory build - up in December. Attention should be paid to opportunities for going long on dips [25]. - For PTA, supply disruptions are expected to decrease as processing fees stabilize. There are opportunities for going long on dips based on expectations [26][27]. - For ethylene glycol, the supply - demand outlook is weak in the medium term. A strategy of shorting on rallies is recommended [28]. 3.

Report Industry Investment Ratings No relevant content provided. Core Views Crude Oil - Overnight oil prices rose due to macro - factors such as a weaker US dollar and optimistic sentiment from US - China trade negotiations. OPEC + production increased in May, but less than planned. The market is in a strong - side shock trend, suggesting a short - term long - bias approach. Resistance levels are given for WTI, Brent, and SC. Options can use a straddle structure [2]. Polyester Industry - PX: Supply has increased, but short - term downside is limited due to downstream demand and geopolitical factors. Strategies include short - term observation, 9 - 1 short - spread, and narrowing the PX - SC spread. - PTA: Supply - demand is weakening, but there is support at low levels. Strategies are to focus on the 4600 support and use a short - on - rebound approach, and 9 - 1 short - spread. - Ethylene Glycol: Supply is expected to remain low in June, with good supply - demand structure but limited upside due to weak demand. It is expected to trade in a range, and look for 9 - 1 long - spread opportunities. - Short - fiber: Processing fee recovery is limited, and absolute price follows raw materials. Strategies are similar to PTA and expanding the processing fee at low levels. - Bottle - chip: Supply - demand is expected to improve in June, and the processing fee is supported. Strategies are similar to PTA and expanding the processing fee at the lower end of the 350 - 600 yuan/ton range [6]. Chlor - alkali Industry - Caustic Soda: Recent decline is due to cost reduction. Supply has increased overall, but decreased in Shandong. Demand is supported by alumina. Inventory is accumulating in East China. Hold the 7 - 9 long - spread before price cuts or large - scale warehouse - receipt outflows. - PVC: Short - term is in a shock trend, but long - term supply - demand contradiction is prominent. Supply pressure will increase in June, and demand is weak. Adopt a short - selling strategy [11][16]. Styrene Industry - Short - term styrene may fluctuate, and mid - term pay attention to the bearish opportunity from raw material resonance. Downstream 3S profits have improved, and port inventory has decreased slightly, but supply may increase after plant restart [19][22]. PE and PP Industry - PE: Inventory is accumulating at the beginning of the month, with slight destocking in social inventory. Supply and demand are balanced in June, with limited up - and - down drivers. - PP: New capacity will be put into operation in June - July, and demand is in the off - season. There is a large inventory - accumulation pressure. Adopt a short - selling strategy at high prices [26][27]. Urea Industry - High supply is not matched by demand. Agricultural demand has slightly improved but lacks activity, and industrial demand is weakened by the decline in compound fertilizer production. Future trends depend on export policy and market sentiment. [33] Methanol Industry - Supply is abundant with high domestic production and expected high imports. Demand has increased in MTO but with poor downstream profits. Price should be traded in the 2200 - 2350 range, and pay attention to the transition from implicit to explicit inventory accumulation [35].
