Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - For crude oil, although the geopolitical premium has disappeared and OPEC's supply has not increased significantly, it is not advisable to be overly bearish on oil prices in the short - term. A range strategy of buying low and selling high is maintained, but it is recommended to wait and see for now[3]. - For methanol, the positive impact of Iranian plant shutdowns is being realized, but the near - term high - inventory pattern persists. The market is expected to bottom out gradually, but due to the rapid short - term rise, it is recommended to wait and see[4]. - For urea, the price is oscillating and rebounding at the bottom. With cost and export policy support, the downside space is limited. It is expected to oscillate and build a bottom, and it is advisable to consider buying on dips[6]. - For rubber, a bullish short - term strategy is currently recommended, with fast - in and fast - out operations. A partial position can be established for the hedging strategy of buying RU2601 and selling RU2609[9]. - For PVC, the industry has a situation of strong supply and weak demand. With low enterprise profits and high inventory, it is recommended to consider short - selling on rallies in the medium term[11][12]. - For pure benzene and styrene, the benzene - to - styrene price difference is at a low level and has room for upward repair. The port inventory of styrene is declining, and the price may stop falling temporarily[15]. - For polyethylene, the price is expected to remain in a low - level oscillation. The cost - side impact has shifted, and seasonal demand has started to pick up[18]. - For polypropylene, the market has a situation of weak supply and demand, with high inventory pressure. It may be supported by the cost side in the first quarter of next year[21]. - For PX, with high load and low downstream PTA load, the inventory is difficult to continuously decline. There is a risk of valuation correction[22]. - For PTA, the supply is expected to stabilize, and the demand may maintain a high level in the short - term. However, the PX valuation has a correction risk, which may limit the upside space of PTA processing fees[24]. - For ethylene glycol, the domestic supply is expected to decline in December, and the inventory accumulation rate may slow down. It is recommended to consider short - selling on rallies in the medium term[27]. 3.
