1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The crude oil market is waiting for the progress of the US - Iran negotiation, and the chemical industry has entered an oscillatory pattern. The supply - demand of the polyester chain is relatively healthy, while polyolefins, especially PE, still face significant supply pressure. Pure benzene - styrene and chlor - alkali are mainly in an oscillatory state. Due to spring maintenance from March to May, polyester raw materials are destocking. The weakness of olefins is mainly due to the high global production capacity growth rate. The cost fluctuations and small supply - demand contradictions in the chemical industry make it difficult to have a trending market, and investors are advised to conduct short - term or hedging operations [2]. - The crude oil market continues to have high volatility, and chemical prices will continue to oscillate and consolidate. 3. Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Market Views 3.1.1 Crude Oil - **Viewpoint**: US crude oil accumulates inventory on a weekly basis, and the US - Iran geopolitical situation continues to cause disturbances. The market is waiting for the progress of the US - Iran negotiation. The supply - demand is in an oversupply situation in the short - term, and it is expected to oscillate [9]. - **Main Logic**: The US crude oil inventory increased significantly last week, and gasoline inventory decreased. The refinery operating rate declined, which is consistent with the previous API data. The supply - demand surplus pattern is difficult to reverse in the short - term. The current geopolitical premium is fermenting, and the signal for the end of the rebound depends on the falsification of Iranian supply concerns or the confirmation of OPEC+'s production increase [9]. 3.1.2 Asphalt - **Viewpoint**: The market is waiting for the result of the US - Iran negotiation. The absolute price of asphalt is overvalued, and the medium - long - term valuation is expected to decline, showing an oscillatory trend [10][11]. - **Main Logic**: With the relaxation of US sanctions on Venezuela and the increase in light distillate exports, the long - term supply of asphalt raw materials is abundant. The market focuses on the US - Iran negotiation, and the asphalt cracking spread has significantly declined. High profits may drive refineries to switch to alternative raw materials. The supply - demand of asphalt is weak, and the inventory is accumulating. The current asphalt futures price is at a relatively high valuation compared to other products [11]. 3.1.3 High - Sulfur Fuel Oil - **Viewpoint**: The fuel oil futures price still has a relatively high geopolitical premium, and it is expected to oscillate. The increase in Venezuelan oil production will put long - term pressure on high - sulfur fuel oil, and the short - term focus is on the geopolitical situation in the Middle East [11]. - **Main Logic**: The market is highly concerned about the progress of the US - Iran negotiation. The increase in Venezuelan heavy oil supply is expected to put long - term pressure on high - sulfur fuel oil. The current high - sulfur fuel oil has a geopolitical premium. If the US and Iran reach an agreement, it may have a significant negative impact on high - sulfur fuel oil. In the long - term, the demand for fuel oil power generation in the Middle East is gradually being replaced [11]. 3.1.4 Low - Sulfur Fuel Oil - **Viewpoint**: It follows the oscillation of crude oil. Although it is affected by factors such as the replacement of green fuels and high - sulfur fuel oil, its current valuation is low, and it is expected to oscillate [13]. - **Main Logic**: It follows the oscillation of crude oil. The decrease in fuel oil exports from Brazil, Kuwait, and Nigeria in February has alleviated the oversupply expectation. It has strong main - product attributes. Although it faces some negative factors, its low valuation makes it likely to follow the change of crude oil [13]. 3.1.5 PX - **Viewpoint**: The cost still has support, and the price is in high - level consolidation. In the short - term, it oscillates under the resonance of cost support and market sentiment. In the medium - term, the logic of buying at low prices remains, and the PX05 - 09 spread can be positively arbitraged at low prices. The PXN is expected to be consolidated within the range of [300, 330] US dollars per ton [15]. - **Main Logic**: International oil prices are in high - level consolidation, and there is still some support for chemical products. After the holiday, the PX price increased significantly on the first trading day and then slightly declined. The overall supply - demand has not changed much. With the impact of the maintenance season, the supply pressure is expected to be relieved [15]. 3.1.6 PTA - **Viewpoint**: Supported by cost and affected by tariff policies, it is necessary to pay attention to the resumption rhythm of the polyester industry. It is expected to oscillate in the short - term, and the support for the TA05 - 09 spread is enhanced. It is advisable to pay attention to the positive arbitrage position, and the support around 5250 yuan per ton is relatively strong [16][17]. - **Main Logic**: The cost support is significant, and the price has回调. During the Spring Festival, the inventory accumulated significantly, but the wharf inventory pressure is general, and the basis decline pressure is controllable. The tariff policy has caused concerns about rush - exports, and it is necessary to pay attention to the resumption of the polyester and terminal industries [17]. 3.1.7 Pure Benzene - **Viewpoint**: It is affected by crude oil and commodity sentiment and oscillates. The fundamentals in Q1 are improved compared to Q4, but the inventory pressure is still large [18][19]. - **Main Logic**: Before the holiday, the downstream replenishment of pure benzene basically ended, and the trading became weak. After the holiday, it rose to make up for the gap. The fundamentals are in a transition period, and there are differences in the market's judgment of the Q2 fundamentals. It is necessary to pay attention to the inventory accumulation during the holiday and the resumption of downstream production after the holiday [19]. 3.1.8 Styrene - **Viewpoint**: Affected by seasonal inventory accumulation and crude oil fluctuations, it oscillates. Although the height of seasonal inventory accumulation in February is adjusted, the improvement of the overseas situation weakens the support [20]. - **Main Logic**: Before the holiday, the styrene price declined due to the marginal relaxation of supply - demand and the restart of domestic and overseas devices. After the holiday, it rose to make up for the gap. It is necessary to pay attention to the inventory accumulation during the holiday, the restart of some devices, and the resumption of downstream production [20]. 3.1.9 Ethylene Glycol (MEG) - **Viewpoint**: The supply - demand pressure limits the price rebound. In the medium - term, it has a weak recovery, and the lower support is enhanced. It is expected to be in the range of [3700 - 4050] yuan per ton in the short - term [22][23]. - **Main Logic**: The international oil price increased significantly during the Spring Festival, providing some cost support, but the supply - demand is weak. Although the inventory accumulation is less than expected due to the delay of some ships, the port inventory is still at a high level. After March, the supply - demand pattern will improve, and the import volume will decrease, enhancing the price support [23]. 3.1.10 Short - Fiber - **Viewpoint**: The downstream starts slowly, and the raw material end oscillates. The short - fiber price follows the upstream and oscillates in the short - term, and the support for the processing fee is enhanced [25]. - **Main Logic**: The upstream polyester raw material prices are in high - level consolidation, providing cost support. The cancellation of US tariffs is beneficial to the export of terminal textile and clothing. The downstream starts slowly, and the raw material end oscillates [25]. 3.1.11 Polyester Bottle - Chip - **Viewpoint**: The cost end still has support. The absolute price follows the raw material fluctuation, and the support for the processing fee is enhanced. It is advisable to temporarily exit the position of buying PR and shorting TA [26]. - **Main Logic**: The upstream raw material futures oscillate and decline, and the polyester bottle - chip price follows the weak oscillation. The trading atmosphere in the polyester bottle - chip market has recovered, and it is expected to continue to follow the raw material cost fluctuation [26]. 3.1.12 Methanol - **Viewpoint**: Overseas geopolitical disturbances continue, and it oscillates widely. It is expected to oscillate, and the Iranian situation is uncertain before it is settled [28][29]. - **Main Logic**: On February 25, 2026, methanol oscillated weakly. The inventory in the coastal market is high, and the Iranian methanol devices are expected to resume production in March, which has a negative impact on the market. However, geopolitical disturbances still need to be followed [29]. 3.1.13 Urea - **Viewpoint**: Supported by demand and guided by policies, it oscillates and consolidates. It is expected to oscillate narrowly, and it is necessary to pay attention to the downstream purchasing performance, the order digestion of production enterprises, and the storage - releasing plan of storage enterprises [30][31]. - **Main Logic**: On February 25, 2026, urea oscillated weakly, and the supply - demand increased simultaneously. The supply is at a high level, and the demand is in the peak season. However, the spot price has reached the upper limit of the price guidance, and the market trading atmosphere is suppressed [30][31]. 3.1.14 LLDPE (Plastic) - **Viewpoint**: The downstream gradually resumes production after the holiday, and it oscillates. It is expected to oscillate in the short - term [35]. - **Main Logic**: On February 24, the plastic futures opened higher and strengthened. The oil price oscillates due to the tense US - Iran geopolitical relationship. The commodity sentiment has improved after the holiday, and the capital has an impact on plastic. The mid - stream inventory pressure of plastic is not large, and the demand is in the off - peak to peak season transition. There is also an expectation of macro - consumption policy support [35]. 3.1.15 PP - **Viewpoint**: The spot support is limited, and it oscillates. It is expected to oscillate in the short - term [36]. - **Main Logic**: On February 24, PP futures oscillated higher. The oil price oscillates and rises due to the tense US - Iran geopolitical relationship. The commodity market sentiment has improved, which indirectly affects PP. The PDH profit of PP refineries is still under pressure, providing support for the price. The downstream of PP is in the off - peak to peak season transition, and the resumption progress needs to be observed. There is also an expectation of macro - consumption policy support [36]. 3.1.16 PL - **Viewpoint**: The powder profit is still under pressure, and it oscillates. It is expected to oscillate in the short - term [37]. - **Main Logic**: On February 25, PL futures oscillated. After the holiday, the PDH maintenance devices gradually resumed, and the market mainly followed the crude oil rebound. Enterprises mainly maintained stable prices, and the downstream factories followed up as needed. The short - term powder profit is weak, and the downstream factories are expected to resume production around the Lantern Festival [37]. 3.1.17 PVC - **Viewpoint**: Geopolitical disturbances still exist, and it may oscillate. It is expected to oscillate, and the geopolitical disturbances and maintenance expectations support the market sentiment, but the high inventory still suppresses the price [39]. - **Main Logic**: Geopolitical factors affect the commodity market sentiment. After the holiday, the upstream of PVC will carry out spring maintenance, but the "rush - export" will cool down, and the high inventory is difficult to destock smoothly. The upstream profit is poor, the downstream start - up is at a low level, the export order is weakening, and the cost is slightly decreasing [39]. 3.1.18 Caustic Soda - **Viewpoint**: It has a low valuation and weak expectations, and it oscillates. It is expected to oscillate, and the high inventory suppresses the price, but the maintenance and downstream replenishment provide support [40][41]. - **Main Logic**: Geopolitical factors affect the commodity market sentiment. The upstream is in a loss state, and the maintenance expectation is strong. The downstream may replenish inventory at a low price, and the inventory pressure is expected to be relieved. The fundamentals are affected by factors such as alumina production reduction, demand support from new alumina projects, and the decline in caustic soda production [41]. 3.2 Variety Data Monitoring 3.2.1 Energy and Chemical Daily Index Monitoring - **Inter - period Spread**: The inter - period spreads of various varieties such as Brent, Dubai, PX, PTA, MEG, etc. are provided, including the latest values and change values [42]. - **Basis and Warehouse Receipts**: The basis, change values, and warehouse receipts of various varieties such as asphalt, high - sulfur fuel oil, low - sulfur fuel oil, etc. are provided [43]. - **Inter - variety Spread**: The inter - variety spreads of various combinations such as PP - 3MA, TA - EG, L - P, etc. are provided, including the latest values and change values [44]. 3.2.2 Chemical Basis and Spread Monitoring No specific content for analysis is provided in the report for this part. 3.3 Commodity Index - **Comprehensive Index**: The comprehensive index, characteristic index (including commodity 20 index and industrial product index), and plate index (energy index) are provided, including the latest values, change percentages, and historical price change data [282][284].

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided Group 2: Core Views of the Report - For the sugar market, the global supply surplus in the 2025/26 sugar season has been revised down due to potential production cuts in Brazil and India. However, Brazilian sugar production is expected to increase, and domestic sugar prices face pressure from new sugar supply. The short - term sentiment has improved, but the medium - to - long - term is still under supply surplus pressure [3]. - The pulp market is currently in a situation where the futures are strong, and the spot price has followed the increase. The cost of warehouse receipts has risen, but the supply pressure remains high, and the demand is supported by the high production of finished paper during the peak season [3]. - The double - offset paper market has limited improvement in demand during the peak season, and the supply is relatively abundant. Although the cost is supported by the increase in pulp prices, the upward driving force is weak [5]. - The cotton market is under pressure from increased production and weak consumption. The short - term price is expected to fluctuate weakly [7]. - The apple market is supported by the decline in new - season production and good fruit rate, and the inventory is decreasing year - on - year. The price of the 2605 contract is expected to remain strong [8]. - The jujube market has seen a decline in the futures price, and the market's expectation of production cuts has cooled. The inventory removal speed has slowed down, and the price is expected to be weak [9]. Group 3: Summary According to the Directory First Part: Plate Strategy Recommendation - **Fresh Fruit Futures Strategy** - Apple 2605: Hold long positions cautiously. The new - season production and good fruit rate decline year - on - year, and the inventory continues to decline year - on - year, supporting the valuation. The support range is 8800 - 8900, and the pressure range is 9700 - 9800 [18]. - Jujube 2601: Exit short positions at low prices. The futures premium is high, and there is a pressure for the futures and spot prices to converge. The support range is 9400 - 9500, and the pressure range is 11000 - 11300 [18]. - **Soft Commodity Futures Strategy** - Sugar 2601: Short on rebounds. The global supply surplus pressure remains, and domestic new sugar supply increases. The support range is 5380 - 5400, and the pressure range is 5520 - 5550 [18]. - Pulp 2601: Wait and see. The cost of pulp warehouse receipts has increased, but the supply remains high, and the fundamentals have limited improvement. The support range is 4900 - 5000, and the pressure range is 5400 - 5500 [18]. - Double - offset Paper 2601: Wait and see. The cost is supported by the increase in pulp prices, but the supply is elastic, and the demand suppresses the price. The support range is 4100 - 4200, and the pressure range is 4400 - 4500 [18]. - Cotton 2601: Reduce short positions at low prices. The new - cotton production estimate is stable, and the consumption improvement is insufficient. The support range is 13200 - 13300, and the pressure range is 13700 - 13800 [18]. Second Part: Market News Changes - **Apple Market** - **Fundamental Information**: In September 2025, the export volume of fresh apples was about 70,800 tons, a month - on - month increase of 3.50% and a year - on - year decrease of 6.32%.

In Shaanxi, the cold - storage transaction increased, and the price of the same - quality fruit in the cold - storage was higher than that outside the warehouse. In other producing areas, the situation varied. The arrival volume in the sales area decreased slightly, and the sales were stable [19][20][21]. - **Jujube Market**: The physical inventory of 36 sample points increased by 2.06% month - on - month and 131.35% year - on - year. The futures price continued to fall, and the spot price followed. The market's expectation of production cuts cooled [9][22]. - **Sugar Market**: Datagro lowered the global sugar supply surplus in the 2025/26 season to 1 million tons. The Brazilian and Indian production estimates were reduced. The domestic new sugar supply increased, and the price faced pressure [3][24]. - **Pulp Market**: As of October 27, the weekly pulp inventory in sample areas decreased by 1.58% month - on - month. The domestic paper pulp import volume decreased in October, and the demand was supported by the high production of finished paper [3][26]. - **Double - offset Paper Market**: In October, the average theoretical gross profit margin of the double - offset paper industry was - 6.57%, a decrease of 1.38 percentage points from the previous month.

A range strategy of buying low and selling high is maintained, but currently, it is advisable to wait and see as the market tests OPEC's export price - support willingness [2]. - For methanol, the port price has dropped rapidly, and the inventory remains high and difficult to deplete. With supply increasing and demand weakening, if the high - inventory issue persists, the market may decline further. It is recommended to wait and see as chasing short after the sharp decline is not cost - effective and there is no driving force for long positions [3]. - For urea, supply has returned and compound fertilizer production has increased. Although downstream demand has followed up and pre - orders have slightly risen, the supply - demand situation is still relatively loose. There is limited upward momentum, but the price downside is also restricted. It is advisable to look for short - term long opportunities on dips [7]. - For rubber, the price seems to have stabilized. Short - term long trading with quick entry and exit is recommended, and partial position building for the hedge of buying RU2601 and selling RU2609 is suggested [11]. - For PVC, the enterprise's comprehensive profit is at a low level, but supply is high with many new devices to be commissioned. Domestic demand is weak, and export expectations are poor. There is a risk of inventory accumulation, so it is advisable to short on rallies in the medium term [14]. - For pure benzene and styrene, the prices of both have declined. The BZN spread has room for upward repair. Although the supply of pure benzene is relatively abundant, the port inventory of styrene is decreasing significantly, and the price may stop falling periodically [17]. - For polyethylene, the futures price has declined. The spot price is stable, and the overall inventory is decreasing. The price may maintain a low - level oscillation as the long - term contradiction shifts to the South Korean ethylene clearance policy [20]. - For polypropylene, the futures price has declined. Supply pressure is high, and demand is in a seasonal rebound. With high inventory and a large number of warehouse receipts, the cost - side supply - surplus pattern suppresses the market [23]. - For PX, the load is high, but downstream PTA has many maintenance operations and low processing fees. PX inventory is difficult to deplete, and PXN is expected to be under pressure in November. It is recommended to wait and see [24]. - For PTA, supply maintenance is expected to increase in November, and there may be inventory depletion, but the processing fee expansion is limited. It is advisable to pay attention to the opportunity of processing fee repair in the short term [26]. - For ethylene glycol, the industry's supply is high, and imports are increasing. There is a risk of inventory accumulation in the fourth quarter, and the valuation is relatively high. It is recommended to short on rallies [30]. 3.

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No industry investment rating information is provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The easing of Sino - US trade concerns and positive macro - expectations have led to a significant strengthening of base metals. In the short and medium term, supply - side disturbances and improved macro - expectations are the main drivers. Copper leads the rise of base metals, and attention can be paid to the opportunity of aluminum ingot price catch - up. In the long term, there are still expectations of potential incremental stimulus policies in China, and supply disturbances in copper, aluminum, and tin persist, with expectations of tightening supply - demand, so the prices of copper, aluminum, and tin are expected to rise [2]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1行情观点 - **Copper**: The restart of Sino - US trade negotiations and the release of the Fourth Plenary Session communiqué have improved market sentiment. Supply disturbances continue to increase, with reduced copper ore supply and higher scrap copper recycling costs. Although it is the peak demand season, high prices have curbed demand. Overall, copper prices are expected to be volatile and bullish [8][9]. - **Alumina**: There are still fundamental pressures, but the valuation has entered a low - level range. The price is expected to fluctuate. The spot price has shown some declines in different regions [9][10]. - **Aluminum**: The domestic and overseas macro - environment is positive. The domestic replacement capacity is being put into production, and there are marginal disturbances in overseas supply. The traditional peak season is ending, and terminal demand is stable. With the copper - aluminum ratio above 4.0, the short - term price is expected to be volatile and bullish, and the medium - term price center may rise [12][13]. - **Aluminum Alloy**: The cost support is strong due to the tight supply of scrap aluminum. There are small - scale production cuts on the supply side, and demand has marginally improved. The short - term price is expected to remain high and volatile, and the medium - term price is expected to fluctuate [14][15]. - **Zinc**: The macro - environment is optimistic, but the supply is loose in the short term, and the demand is entering the off - season. The short - term price may be volatile at a high level, and there is still room for decline in the long term [18][19]. - **Lead**: There are disturbances in recycled lead supply, and social inventory is at a low level. The current demand is in the peak season, and the supply is slightly less than expected. The price is expected to be volatile and bullish [20][21]. - **Nickel**: LME nickel inventory has exceeded 250,000 tons. The market sentiment dominates the market, and the industrial fundamentals are weakening marginally. The price is expected to be widely volatile in the short term [22][24]. - **Stainless Steel**: The stainless - steel futures warehouse receipts are decreasing. Nickel - iron prices are weakening, and the "Golden September and Silver October" demand sustainability needs attention. The short - term price is expected to fluctuate within a range [25][26]. - **Tin**: Supply constraints are strengthening. In Wa State, production increase may be delayed, and in Indonesia, refined tin supply is expected to tighten. Although the inventory has started to accumulate slightly, the price is expected to be volatile and bullish [26][27]. 3.2行情监测 - **Commodity Index**: On October 27, 2025, the comprehensive index, special index, and PPI commodity index of CITIC Futures all showed increases.
