1. Report Industry Investment Ratings - No information provided in the report. 2. Core Views of the Report - For PTA, recent TA has turned to inventory accumulation, with its processing fees and PXN compressed. Considering the improved cash - flow in downstream sectors and the limited potential for further increase in PX supply and TA unit load, the valuation is becoming reasonable, and attention can be paid to phased positive spreads and long - allocation opportunities [2]. - For MEG, after recent valuation compression, supply - side reduction has further increased.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The investment rating for Treasury bonds is "oscillation" [4] 2. Core View of the Report - The main contradiction in the bond market is between weak fundamentals and strong risk appetite. Fundamentals are favorable for the bond market, but economic data can no longer drive the bond market to strengthen. The stock market has an obvious impact on the bond market, but it is difficult to predict overseas factors and short - term stock market trends. Overall, the bond market is expected to oscillate. The news of the new fund fee regulations may disrupt the market, but it is unlikely to become the main trading theme [2][14][15] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 One - week Review and Views 3.1.1 This Week's Trend Review - From November 3rd to 9th, Treasury bond futures changed from rising to falling. On Monday, the stock market recovered, and Treasury bond futures were weakly oscillating. On Tuesday, the stock market fell, and the bond market was waiting for the central bank's bond - buying news. On Wednesday, Treasury bond futures opened higher due to the central bank's bond - buying news and lower overseas risk appetite but weakened as the domestic equity market rose. On Thursday, with a calm news background, the stock index was strong, and Treasury bond futures fell. On Friday, the morning session was strong, but the bond market weakened in the afternoon due to concerns about the new fund fee regulations. As of November 7th, the settlement prices of the two - year, five - year, ten - year, and thirty - year Treasury bond futures contracts were 102.472, 105.920, 108.475, and 116.030 yuan respectively, down 0.072, 0.145, 0.190, and 0.610 yuan from the previous weekend [1][11] 3.1.2 Next Week's View - Next week, the bond market will still face the contradiction between weak fundamentals and strong risk appetite. Fundamentals are expected to be weak as the economic indicators in October may be poor due to limited growth - stabilizing policies in September - October and the intensifying Sino - US trade war. The impact of the equity market on the bond market is significant, but it is difficult to predict short - term stock market trends because of the domestic policy window period and the complexity of overseas factors. The news of the new fund fee regulations may disrupt the market, but it is unlikely to be the main trading theme. Overall, the bond market is expected to oscillate [14][15] 3.2 Weekly Observation of Interest - rate Bonds 3.2.1 Primary Market - This week, 57 interest - rate bonds were issued, with a total issuance of 5139.97 billion yuan and a net financing of 2883.44 billion yuan. 32 local government bonds were issued, with a total issuance of 916.07 billion yuan and a net financing of - 359.56 billion yuan. 430 inter - bank certificates of deposit were issued, with a total issuance of 5278.60 billion yuan and a net financing of 1509.90 billion yuan [20] 3.2.2 Secondary Market - Treasury bond yields rose.

For the cash - and - carry strategy, pay attention to positive arbitrage and widening the basis due to the relatively high IRR of some contracts. For the yield curve strategy, if worried about the stock market's strength, stay on the sidelines. For the inter - delivery strategy, although the short - sellers' motivation to roll over positions will increase, the inter - delivery spreads are unlikely to widen significantly [2][17][18][19]

Enterprise profits are good, overseas operating rates are high, and arrivals are increasing, resulting in sufficient supply. The profit of port MTO is relatively good year - on - year, traditional demand is weak but there are expectations of a peak season, and demand is expected to improve marginally. Port inventories have reached a new high under high supply, while inland enterprise inventories are lower year - on - year [4] Urea - **Market Quotes**: On September 17, the 01 contract fell 5 yuan/ton to 1681 yuan/ton, the spot price remained stable, and the basis was - 41 [6] - **Fundamentals**: Domestic enterprise inventories are slowly rising, and the overall inventory level is high. It is the off - season for domestic agricultural demand, and the operating rate of compound fertilizers has rebounded but is still in a seasonal decline. Overall, demand is weak, and export support is limited [6] Rubber - **Supply**: The forecasted rainfall in Thailand in the next 7 days is expected to decrease marginally, reducing the positive supply factors [8] - **Market Sentiment**: Bulls are optimistic about rubber due to seasonal expectations, limited rubber production in Southeast Asia (especially Thailand) due to weather and rubber forest conditions, and improved demand expectations in China. Bears are concerned about uncertain macro - expectations, the seasonal off - season for demand, and the possibility that supply benefits may be lower than expected [9] - **Industry Conditions**: As of September 11, 2025, the operating rate of all - steel tires in Shandong tire enterprises was 64.87%, up 6.17 percentage points from the previous week and 5.23 percentage points from the same period last year. The operating rate of semi - steel tires in domestic tire enterprises was 74.30%, up 5.23 percentage points from the previous week but down 4.53 percentage points from the same period last year.

The overall downstream operating rate was 47.5%, a 4% increase. Factory inventory was 31 tons (- 0.6), and social inventory was 93.4 tons (+ 1.6). The comprehensive enterprise profit is at a high level this year, with high valuation pressure, few maintenance activities, and high production. Multiple new plants are expected to be put into operation in the short term. Although domestic downstream operating rates have improved, the export expectation has weakened after the determination of India's anti - dumping tax rate [13] Pure Benzene and Styrene - **Market Quotes**: Spot prices rose, while futures prices fell, and the basis strengthened. The BZN spread is at a relatively low level compared to the same period, with significant upward adjustment potential [15] - **Cost and Supply**: The operating rate of pure benzene is moderately volatile, and the supply is still abundant. The profit of ethylbenzene dehydrogenation has decreased, but the operating rate of styrene production has been increasing. Styrene port inventories have been significantly reduced [15][16] - **Demand**: As the seasonal peak season approaches, the overall operating rate of the three S products has been declining [16] - **Fundamentals**: The price of pure benzene in East China was 5970 yuan/ton (no change), the spot price of styrene was 7200 yuan/ton (a 75 - yuan increase), the closing price of the active styrene contract was 7138 yuan/ton (a 20 - yuan decrease), the basis was 62 yuan/ton (a 95 - yuan increase), the BZN spread was 136.12 yuan/ton (a 5.62 - yuan increase), the profit of non - integrated styrene production was - 405.3 yuan/ton (a 30 - yuan decrease), the 1 - 2 spread of styrene was 69 yuan/ton (a 19 - yuan decrease), the upstream operating rate was 75% (a 4.70% decrease), the port inventory in Jiangsu was 17.65 tons (a 2.00 - ton decrease), the weighted operating rate of the three S products was 42.73% (a 1.11% decrease), the operating rate of PS was 61.00% (a 1.10% increase), the operating rate of EPS was 52.52% (a 5.82% decrease), and the operating rate of ABS was 69.00% (a 1.80% decrease) [16] Polyethylene - **Market Quotes**: Futures prices rose. The market is expecting favorable policies from the Chinese Ministry of Finance at the end of the third quarter, and cost support remains [18] - **Fundamentals**: The spot price remained unchanged, and the valuation of PE has limited downward space, but the number of warehouse receipts at the same period in history is high, suppressing the futures price. There are only 40 tons of planned production capacity left, and the overall inventory is being reduced from a high level, providing support for the price. As the seasonal peak season may be approaching, the raw material inventory for agricultural films has started to build up, and the overall operating rate has stabilized at a low level [18] Polypropylene - **Market Quotes**: Futures prices rose. There is still 145 tons of planned production capacity, resulting in high supply pressure. The downstream operating rate has rebounded from a seasonal low [19] - **Fundamentals**: In a context of weak supply and demand, the overall inventory pressure is high, and there is no obvious short - term contradiction. The large number of warehouse receipts at the same period in history suppresses the futures price [19] PX - **Market Quotes**: The PX11 contract rose 10 yuan to 6772 yuan, the PX CFR price rose 2 dollars to 836 dollars, the basis was 71 yuan (+ 5) after conversion according to the RMB central parity rate, and the 11 - 1 spread was 32 yuan (- 10) [21] - **Operating Rates**: The operating rate in China was 87.8%, a 4.1% increase; the operating rate in Asia was 79%, a 2.5% increase.

The import arrival forecast was 9.4 tons, and the departure volume from East China ports on September 16 was 0.67 tons [24] - **Demand**: The downstream operating rate was 91.6%, a 0.3% increase, with little change in the plants. The operating rate of terminal texturing remained at 78%, and the operating rate of looms remained at 66% [24] - **Inventories and Valuation**: The port inventory was 46.5 tons, a 0.6 - ton increase. The profit of naphtha - based production was - 613 yuan, the profit of domestic ethylene - based production was - 784 yuan, and the profit of coal - based production was 812 yuan. The cost of ethylene increased to 850 dollars, and the price of Yulin pit - mouth bituminous coal powder increased to 570 yuan. Currently, the operating rates of domestic and overseas plants are high, and the domestic supply is large. Although the port arrival volume is expected to be low in the short term, the port inventory is expected to increase in the medium term due to concentrated imports, high domestic operating rates, and the commissioning of new plants. The valuation is currently relatively high year - on - year [24]
