1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The overall atmosphere in the commodity market cooled yesterday, and the prices of finished products continued to fluctuate. The majority of FOMC voters this year are more inclined to delay interest rate cuts until after July, and attention should be paid to the impact of interest rates on the global environment. China's manufacturing PMI has slightly increased, and the economy is showing positive signs. The off - season demand remains weak, and the inventories are at relatively healthy levels. There are no obvious contradictions in the static fundamentals. Future attention should be paid to tariff policies, the Politburo meeting in July, the recovery of terminal demand, and the cost - side support for finished product prices [3]. - Although the "Israel - Iran conflict" has eased and crude oil prices have fallen, the sentiment in the domestic commodity market, especially the black sector, has not significantly declined. In the short term, the improvement in sentiment continues, but from a fundamental perspective, the industry still faces an oversupply situation, future demand is expected to weaken, and there is room for cost reduction, so the downward pressure on prices remains [11]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs Steel - **Futures Market**: The closing price of the rebar main contract was 3003 yuan/ton, up 6 yuan/ton (0.200%) from the previous trading day. The registered warehouse receipts increased by 6393 tons, and the main contract positions decreased by 48103 lots. The closing price of the hot - rolled coil main contract was 3136 yuan/ton, up 13 yuan/ton (0.416%) from the previous trading day. The registered warehouse receipts decreased by 586 tons, and the main contract positions decreased by 3081 lots [2]. - **Spot Market**: The aggregated rebar price in Tianjin was 3150 yuan/ton, down 10 yuan/ton; in Shanghai, it was 3120 yuan/ton, down 10 yuan/ton. The aggregated hot - rolled coil price in Lecong remained unchanged at 3180 yuan/ton, and in Shanghai, it was also unchanged at 3200 yuan/ton [2]. - **Fundamentals**: The apparent demand for rebar was basically the same as last week, and the increase in production slowed down the de - stocking pace. The production of hot - rolled coils decreased slightly, and the inventory started to accumulate slightly. Overall, the off - season demand remained weak, and the inventories were at relatively healthy levels [3]. Iron Ore - **Futures Market**: The main contract (I2509) of iron ore closed at 708.50 yuan/ton, with a decline of 0.98% (-7.00), and the positions decreased by 13897 lots to 65.49 million lots. The weighted positions were 107.50 million lots [5]. - **Spot Market**: The price of PB fines at Qingdao Port was 705 yuan/wet ton, with a basis of 37.93 yuan/ton and a basis rate of 5.08% [5]. - **Fundamentals**: The recent iron ore shipments decreased, and the near - term arrivals also declined. The daily average pig iron production was 242.29 tons. The terminal demand for five major steel products decreased slightly. The port throughput and port inventory increased, while the steel mills' imported ore inventory decreased slightly. In the short term, iron ore prices will fluctuate widely [6]. Manganese Silicon and Ferrosilicon - **Manganese Silicon**: On July 1, the main contract (SM509) of manganese silicon continued to decline in a narrow range, closing down 0.32% at 5624 yuan/ton. The spot price in Tianjin was 5600 yuan/ton, with a premium of 166 yuan/ton over the futures price. In the short term, it may continue to fluctuate or rebound slightly, but there is still a risk of price decline [8][10]. - **Ferrosilicon**: The main contract (SF509) of ferrosilicon gapped down and broke the upward trend since June, closing down 1.38% at 5270 yuan/ton. The spot price in Tianjin was 5350 yuan/ton, with a premium of 80 yuan/ton over the futures price. In the short term, its trend has weakened again, and there is a risk of further price decline [8][10]. Industrial Silicon - **Futures Market**: On July 1, affected by rumors of production resumption, the main contract (SI2509) of industrial silicon closed down 3.66% at 7765 yuan/ton [14]. - **Spot Market**: The price of 553 non - oxygenated industrial silicon in East China was 8200 yuan/ton, remaining unchanged from the previous day, with a premium of 435 yuan/ton over the futures main contract. The price of 421 was 8800 yuan/ton, remaining unchanged, with a premium of 235 yuan/ton over the futures main contract [14]. - **Fundamentals**: The industrial silicon market is still facing over - supply and insufficient demand. In the short term, it is recommended to wait and see rather than blindly buy at the bottom. During the price rebound, it is advisable to hedge at an appropriate position [14][15]. Glass and Soda Ash - **Glass**: The spot price in Shahe was 1130 yuan, up 4 yuan from the previous day, and in Central China, it was 1030 yuan, remaining unchanged. As of June 26, 2025, the total inventory of national float glass sample enterprises was 69.216 million heavy boxes, a decrease of 0.671 million heavy boxes (-0.96%) from the previous period, and an increase of 12.39% year - on - year. It is expected that the futures price will be weak in the medium term [17]. - **Soda Ash**: The spot price was 1190 yuan, down 10 yuan from the previous day. As of June 30, 2025, the total inventory of domestic soda ash manufacturers was 1.7688 million tons, an increase of 0.0019 million tons (0.11%) from Thursday. The demand for soda ash continued to decline. Although the supply - demand margin improved slightly, the medium - term supply was still loose, and the inventory pressure was large. It is expected that the futures price will be weak [17].

Group 1: Report Summary - The report focuses on the black building materials market, covering steel, iron ore, manganese silicon, ferrosilicon, industrial silicon, glass, and soda ash [1][2][3] - The overall sentiment in the black building materials market has improved recently, but the fundamentals still point downward in the long - term [3][10] - Attention should be paid to policy trends, actual demand recovery, and cost support in the future [3] Group 2: Steel Price and Position - The closing price of the rebar main contract was 2995 yuan/ton, up 22 yuan/ton (0.739%) from the previous trading day. The position decreased by 48966 lots to 2.142812 million lots. The Tianjin spot price was flat at 3160 yuan/ton, and the Shanghai price increased by 20 yuan/ton to 3080 yuan/ton [2] - The closing price of the hot - rolled coil main contract was 3121 yuan/ton, up 18 yuan/ton (0.580%). The position increased by 14041 lots to 1.52471 million lots. The spot prices in Lecong and Shanghai increased by 20 yuan/ton and 10 yuan/ton respectively [2] Market Analysis - The overall atmosphere in the commodity market was good last week, and the prices of finished products continued to fluctuate. The special treasury bond funds for equipment renewal will still boost the demand for machinery, but the intensity may decrease compared with the first half of the year [3] - The apparent demand for rebar was basically the same as last week, and the inventory reduction slowed down due to the increase in production. The production of hot - rolled coils decreased slightly, and the inventory accumulated slightly [3] - The demand in the off - season remained weak, and the inventory was at a relatively healthy level. There was no obvious contradiction in the static fundamentals. Attention should be paid to the impact of tariff policies, the policy trends of the Politburo meeting in July, the recovery rhythm of terminal demand, and the cost support for product prices [3] Group 3: Iron Ore Price and Position - The main contract of iron ore (I2509) closed at 716.50 yuan/ton, up 1.56% (+11.00), and the position increased by 25675 lots to 679,900 lots. The weighted position was 1.0966 million lots. The spot price of PB powder at Qingdao Port was 708 yuan/wet ton, with a basis of 33.24 yuan/ton and a basis rate of 4.43% [5] Supply and Demand - The recent iron ore shipment volume increased, with a significant increase in Brazil's end - of - season rush and a slight increase in Australia's shipment. The shipment volume from non - mainstream countries decreased significantly. The near - end arrival volume remained at a relatively high level [6] - The daily average hot metal production was 242.29 tons. There were both blast furnace maintenance and复产, which were normal operations. The apparent demand for five major steel products decreased slightly, and the overall demand was neutral [6] - The port dredging volume and port inventory both increased, and the steel mill's imported ore inventory decreased slightly. The hot metal production remained stable, and the weak performance of ore prices was mainly reflected in the continuous narrowing of the basis. The single - sided absolute price fluctuated in a low - volatility range [6] Group 4: Manganese Silicon and Ferrosilicon Price and Trend - On June 27, the main contract of manganese silicon (SM509) closed down 0.11% at 5670 yuan/ton, and the Tianjin spot price was 5620 yuan/ton, with a premium of 140 yuan/ton over the futures [8] - The main contract of ferrosilicon (SF509) closed down 0.26% at 5370 yuan/ton, and the Tianjin spot price was 5470 yuan/ton, with a premium of 100 yuan/ton over the futures [8] - The manganese silicon price continued to rebound slightly this week, with a weekly increase of 56 yuan/ton or 1.00%. It broke away from the downward trend line since February, but the strength was weak. Attention should be paid to the resistance around 5750 - 5800 yuan/ton [9] - The ferrosilicon price also continued to rebound this week, with a weekly increase of 66 yuan/ton or 1.24%. It was approaching the downward trend line since February and encountered resistance at the upper level. Attention should be paid to the resistance around 5500 yuan/ton [9] Market Outlook - Although the short - term market sentiment has pushed up the prices of manganese silicon and ferrosilicon, the fundamentals still point downward, with an oversupply pattern, weakening future demand, and potential cost reduction [10][11] - It is not recommended to buy at the bottom prematurely due to the "low valuation". Instead, pay attention to the downward risk and seize hedging opportunities [10][11] Group 5: Industrial Silicon Price and Trend - On June 27, the main contract of industrial silicon (SI2509) closed up 3.82% at 8025 yuan/ton. The spot price of 553 in East China was 8100 yuan/ton, with a premium of 70 yuan/ton over the futures, and the 421 price was 8700 yuan/ton, with a discount of 130 yuan/ton after conversion [13] - This week, the industrial silicon price rebounded significantly, with a weekly increase of 625 yuan/ton or 8.45%. It was still in the downward trend since November 2024, and the short - term rebound continued. Attention should be paid to the resistance around 8200 yuan/ton [13] Market Outlook - The market sentiment has improved, and funds are looking for low - priced and "story - telling" varieties. However, the current market heat is lower than that in April 2024 [14] - The industrial silicon market still faces the problems of oversupply and insufficient demand. The short - term price rebound is due to the rumor of a large factory's production cut, but the supply reduction is difficult to maintain in the long - term. Hedging opportunities can be seized during the rebound [14] Group 6: Glass and Soda Ash Glass - The spot price in Shahe was 1130 yuan, flat, and the price in Central China was 1030 yuan, also flat. The spot sales were okay, and some production lines were restarted [16] - As of June 26, the total inventory of national float glass sample enterprises was 69.216 million weight boxes, down 0.96% from the previous period, and the inventory days decreased by 0.3 days to 30.5 days. The net position was mainly shifted between near - and far - month contracts. The real estate demand was not expected to be significantly boosted, and the futures price was expected to be weak [16] Soda Ash - The spot price increased by 13 yuan to 1223 yuan, and the enterprise prices were basically unchanged. The number of maintenance enterprises was small [16] - As of June 26, the total inventory of domestic soda ash manufacturers was 1.7669 million tons, up 0.63%. The demand for soda ash continued to decline, and the supply - demand relationship improved marginally. The medium - term supply was loose, and the inventory pressure was still large. The futures price was expected to be weak [16]

The demand for hot - rolled coil is resilient, the production remains high, and the inventory has decreased [2] - The blast furnace still has profits, and the molten iron production remains relatively high. However, the off - season carrying capacity is insufficient, and the negative feedback expectation still ferments repeatedly [2] - The downstream demand is weak, the demand expectation is pessimistic, and the market is cautious. Pay attention to terminal demand and policy changes [2] Iron Ore - The global shipment of iron ore is at a high level, and there is an expectation of a year - end rush. The port inventory in China has begun to stabilize and increase, and the supply pressure has increased marginally [3] - In the off - season, the terminal demand has resilience, the steel mill profitability rate has improved, the molten iron production remains high, and the steel mills have weak willingness to actively reduce production and have short - term replenishment actions [3] - The short - term supply - demand contradiction is limited, and the trend is expected to be volatile [3] Coke - The price has risen significantly during the day, and there is an expectation of a price increase in the market [4] - The daily production of molten iron has increased slightly to 242.18 tons per day. The coke profit is meager, and the daily production of coking has continued to decline from the annual high [4] - The overall coke inventory has decreased, and the purchasing willingness of traders is still low. The coke price is affected by oil price fluctuations, and there may be an upward driver [4] Coking Coal - The price has risen significantly during the day. Policy may strengthen the control of over - production, which may affect production [6] - The production of coking coal mines has continued to decline. Due to the safety production month and environmental inspections, some mines have reduced production [6] - The spot auction market has improved slightly, the transaction price has risen slightly, and the terminal inventory has continued to decline. The coking coal price is affected by the sharp decline in oil prices and may be strongly volatile [6] Silicon Manganese - The price volatility has increased during the day.

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings - The report does not explicitly provide an overall industry investment rating. However, it gives individual ratings for each commodity: - **Oils and Fats**: Oscillating [9] - **Protein Meal**: Oscillating [10] - **Corn and Starch**: Oscillating [11] - **Hogs**: Oscillating, with a long - term downward trend [12] - **Natural Rubber**: Oscillating [13] - **Synthetic Rubber**: Oscillating [15] - **Cotton**: Oscillating weakly in the short - term [16] - **Sugar**: Oscillating weakly in the long - term, with a short - term rebound [18] - **Pulp**: Oscillating [19] - **Logs**: Oscillating weakly [20] 2. Core Views of the Report - The report analyzes multiple agricultural commodities, including their current market conditions, supply - demand relationships, and future outlooks. Overall, most commodities are expected to show oscillating trends, with some facing supply pressures and others influenced by seasonal factors and policy changes. For example, hogs are expected to face increasing supply pressure in the second half of the year, while oils and fats may return to range - bound trading [12][9]. 3. Summary by Commodity Oils and Fats - **Industry Information**: SPPOMA data shows that from June 1 - 20, Malaysian palm oil production increased by 2.5% month - on - month, and from June 1 - 15, it decreased by 4% month - on - month. Shipping agencies expect Malaysian palm oil exports from June 1 - 20 to increase by 10% - 17% month - on - month [9]. - **Logic**: Due to profit - taking and favorable weather in the US soybean growing areas, US soybeans and soybean oil fell last Friday. Domestically, oils and fats trended weakly. The EPA proposal's bullish sentiment may have been released, and there are still uncertainties. US soybean planting is progressing well, and domestic soybean imports are large, with rising soybean oil inventories. Malaysian palm oil production growth in June is limited, and the export outlook is optimistic. Domestic rapeseed oil inventories are high but slowly declining [9]. - **Outlook**: The bullish impact of the EPA's biodiesel proposal may have been priced in. Given the good growth of US soybeans, normal weather, and the palm oil production season, oils and fats are likely to return to range - bound trading, with increased downward pressure recently [9]. Protein Meal - **Industry Information**: On June 23, 2025, the average import soybean crushing profit in China was 76.65 yuan/ton, a week - on - week decrease of 24.87 yuan/ton or 24.5%, and a year - on - year increase of 155.24 yuan/ton or 288.98% [10]. - **Logic**: Internationally, the Rosario Grain Exchange raised Argentina's soybean production forecast by 3 million tons. The bullish sentiment from crude oil and the EPA has been released. US soybean planting and emergence are going well, with normal to slightly above - normal precipitation expected in the next two weeks. Freight costs are rising, and South American soybean premiums are increasing. Domestically, trading sentiment has declined, and the basis in East China has weakened. Soybean arrivals will increase in the next two months, and soybean meal inventories are seasonally rising, but there is no immediate pressure. The demand for soybean meal is expected to be stable or increase slightly, but there may be a supply shortage in the fourth quarter [10]. - **Outlook**: US soybeans are expected to trade in a range due to bullish factors and lower - than - expected good - quality rates. Domestically, soybean meal supply and demand are both increasing, and the price is expected to have a short - term correction. Oil mills can sell on rallies, and downstream enterprises can buy basis contracts or fix prices at low levels [10]. Corn and Starch - **Industry Information**: According to Mysteel, the FOB price at Jinzhou Port is 2380 yuan/ton, unchanged from the previous period. The domestic average corn price is 2422 yuan/ton, an increase of 7 yuan/ton [11]. - **Logic**: Domestic corn prices are stable with a slight increase. In North China, some deep - processing enterprises lowered their purchase prices due to increased arrivals, while other regions were stable to strong. Wheat harvesting is over, and traders are selling more corn. Corn feed inventories are decreasing, indicating weak replenishment demand. South Port inventories are temporarily increasing due to weather but are expected to decline. Imported grains are tightening, and inventory reduction is expected in the 24/25 season [11]. - **Outlook**: Driven by the expected supply - demand gap, the price is expected to oscillate, but attention should be paid to the potential negative impact of import auctions [11]. Hogs - **Industry Information**: On June 23, the price of Henan's externally - bred hogs was 14.72 yuan/kg, a 1.1% increase from the previous day. The closing price of the active hog futures contract was 13980 yuan/ton, a 0.6% increase [12]. - **Logic**: In the short term, the proportion of large hogs for sale is increasing, and the average weight is decreasing. In the medium term, based on the increase in new - born piglets from January to May 2025, the number of hogs for sale is expected to increase in the second half of the year. In the long term, the production capacity remains high, and the inventory of breeding sows is increasing. The profit of self - breeding and self - raising is close to the break - even point. Demand is weak due to high temperatures, and hog weights are decreasing. In June, hog farmers started to reduce inventory, but there is resistance to low prices, and the selling rhythm is inconsistent. In the third quarter, there are expectations for peak consumption seasons. In the long term, the hog price is in a downward cycle [12]. - **Outlook**: As hog farmers reduce inventory and it is the off - season for consumption, the supply - demand balance is loose. If inventory reduction is sufficient, the supply pressure may ease, but the number of hogs for sale is expected to increase in the second half of the year [12]. Natural Rubber - **Industry Information**: On June 23, the price of RMB - denominated Thai mixed rubber in Qingdao Free Trade Zone was 13820 yuan/ton, an increase of 40 yuan. The price of domestic whole - milk old rubber was 13950 yuan/ton, an increase of 50 yuan [13]. - **Logic**: Rubber prices oscillated within a range of about 200 yuan. Although the overall commodity market corrected, rubber prices were supported by raw materials. Most Asian rubber - producing areas are in the rainy season, and raw material prices have rebounded slightly. Supply is limited due to rain and the early stage of tapping. Some tire enterprises' production has recovered, and inventory pressure has eased slightly, but the demand outlook is still weak [13]. - **Outlook**: External events are currently the main factor affecting the market, and the duration is uncertain. Rubber prices may maintain a strong - side oscillation due to the low non - standard basis [13]. Synthetic Rubber - **Industry Information**: The spot price of butadiene rubber from two major suppliers in Shandong was 11750 yuan/ton, a decrease of 50 yuan [15]. - **Logic**: With the decline in oil prices and butadiene prices, the market trended weakly. The market is mainly influenced by crude oil and the chemical sector. The overall operating rate has dropped to the lowest level since May, but inventories have increased slightly, indicating weak downstream demand. Butadiene prices oscillated in a small range last week, with a slight increase in the average weekly price. Domestic production has increased slightly, and port inventories have risen, but downstream buying is cautious [15]. - **Outlook**: Geopolitical conflicts may last at least one week, and the market may be affected. Although the fundamental downward trend remains, the market may oscillate strongly in the short term [15]. Cotton - **Industry Information**: As of June 23, the number of registered cotton warehouse receipts in the 24/25 season was 10493. The closing price of Zhengzhou Cotton 09 was 13465 yuan/ton, a decrease of 30 yuan/ton [16]. - **Logic**: In the 25/26 season, China's cotton production is expected to increase, and other major producing countries such as India and Brazil also have production growth expectations. The US cotton production depends on the third - quarter weather. The downstream market has entered the off - season, with increasing textile inventories and slower production. Cotton commercial inventories have decreased faster than in previous years, and there are concerns about tight inventories at the end of the season, supporting the basis. However, the upward momentum is weak due to weak demand and new - crop production expectations [16]. - **Outlook**: In the short term, cotton prices are expected to oscillate between 13000 - 13800 yuan/ton. There may be opportunities for reverse spreads [16]. Sugar - **Industry Information**: As of June 23, the closing price of Zhengzhou Sugar 09 was 5721 yuan/ton, an increase of 1 yuan/ton [18]. - **Logic**: The sugar market fundamentals have not changed much. The external market has priced in the expected oversupply in the new season, and the prices of domestic and foreign futures have declined. The Brazilian real has strengthened against the US dollar, and strong crude oil prices support the sugar price. Domestically, the 24/25 sugar production season has ended, and the sales rate is high, with lower inventories than last year. However, there are expectations of concentrated sugar imports. Internationally, Brazil, India, and Thailand are expected to increase production in the new season [18]. - **Outlook**: In the long term, due to the expected oversupply in the new season, sugar prices are expected to decline. In the short term, there may be a rebound [18]. Pulp - **Industry Information**: According to Longzhong Information, the previous trading day, the price of Russian softwood pulp in Shandong was 5300 yuan/ton, an increase of 50 yuan; the price of Marubeni was 5700 yuan/ton, an increase of 50 yuan; and the price of Arauco was 6050 yuan/ton, unchanged [19]. - **Logic**: Pulp futures prices rose significantly yesterday, especially for far - month contracts, mainly due to the suspension of new warehouse receipts for bleached needle - leaf pulp. However, the spot market followed the increase only slightly. Fundamentally, pulp imports remain high, and prices are still falling. Demand is in the off - season, and downstream paper enterprises' inventories are increasing, with weak procurement demand. The US dollar price is decreasing, and the current price is not attractive for large - scale inventory building. Although the reduction in deliverable varieties may support the futures price, the supply - demand situation is still loose [19]. - **Outlook**: Due to weak supply - demand fundamentals and the impact of changes in deliverable rules, pulp futures are expected to oscillate. The reasonable valuation range for the 09 contract is 5200 - 5500 yuan/ton [19]. Logs - **Industry Information**: The spot price of 4 - meter medium - grade A radiata pine logs in Jiangsu is 760 yuan/cubic meter, and in Shandong, it is 750 yuan/cubic meter [20]. - **Logic**: The log futures market has provided risk - free arbitrage opportunities, leading to increased purchases by arbitrageurs and stronger reluctance to sell among traders, driving up spot prices. The market is currently focused on the delivery logic. Near - month contracts are stable due to delivery support, while far - month contracts are returning to fundamentals. The trading volume of the 2507 contract is increasing, and the ratio of virtual to real positions is high, leading to increased volatility [20]. - **Outlook**: The supply pressure of logs is expected to ease at the end of June or early July. The demand is in the off - season from June to August. Although the spot price is supported by the clearance of old stocks, the market is expected to oscillate weakly in the short term [20].

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content Group 2: Core Views of the Report - The trade situation affects demand expectations, and the energy and chemical sector is generally in a weak and volatile state. Macro data shows a weakening economic pattern, and chemical demand is unlikely to perform strongly, with futures prices expected to be in a weak and volatile state [2][3] Group 3: Summary by Variety Crude Oil - **View**: Supply pressure continues, and attention should be paid to macro and geopolitical disturbances. Short - term macro - level positives boost oil prices, but terminal demand is weak. OPEC+ production increase and geopolitical factors lead to oil price fluctuations [5] - **Mid - term Outlook**: Volatile [5] Asphalt - **View**: The rise in crude oil drives up the asphalt futures price. However, factors such as OPEC+ production increase, sufficient domestic raw material supply, and high asphalt cracking spread suggest that the current price is overvalued [5] - **Mid - term Outlook**: Weakly volatile [5] High - Sulfur Fuel Oil - **View**: The high - sulfur fuel oil futures price rises following crude oil. But with the increase in heavy - oil supply and the weakening of demand drivers, the supply - demand situation is unfavorable [5] - **Mid - term Outlook**: Weakly volatile [5] Low - Sulfur Fuel Oil - **View**: The low - sulfur fuel oil futures price fluctuates following crude oil. It is currently in a state of weak supply and demand, with low valuation [6] - **Mid - term Outlook**: Weakly volatile [6] LPG - **View**: Demand remains weak, and the rebound space of PG is limited. Although the spot price has stabilized, the fundamental supply is loose, and the demand is weak [6][7] - **Mid - term Outlook**: Volatile [7] PX - **View**: Affected by polyester production cuts, PX prices decline. Short - term crude oil weakness squeezes PX cost, and the supply - demand pattern is in a state of game [8] - **Mid - term Outlook**: Weakly volatile [8] PTA - **View**: Affected by polyester production cuts, PTA prices decline. PTA is in a state of inventory reduction, but attention should be paid to whether polyester factories increase production cuts [8] - **Mid - term Outlook**: High - level volatile in the single - side market [8] Benzene Ethylene - **View**: The current situation is still poor, and benzene ethylene is expected to be in a weakly volatile state. Although the cost side has improved, supply is increasing, and demand is average [8][9] - **Mid - term Outlook**: Weakly volatile [9] Ethylene Glycol (EG) - **View**: There is an expected reduction in supply, and the near - end is strong. If US ethane exports are restricted, EG supply will decrease, and current demand is acceptable [10] - **Mid - term Outlook**: Volatile [10] Short - Fiber - **View**: Terminal demand is low, and it is difficult to expand the processing fee. Terminal demand is the main negative factor, and the short - fiber may not be stronger than raw materials [10][11] - **Mid - term Outlook**: Volatile [11] Bottle Chip - **View**: The processing fee is further compressed, and there are no highlights in the situation. The supply pressure is large, and the price follows the raw materials [13] - **Mid - term Outlook**: Volatile [13] Methanol - **View**: The port continues to accumulate inventory, and methanol fluctuates. Supply is relatively loose, port inventory is increasing, and the support from downstream olefins is limited [16] - **Mid - term Outlook**: Volatile [16] Urea - **View**: The market is weak, waiting for the callback opportunity when agricultural demand is released.
