1. Report Industry Investment Ratings - The investment rating for RU and NR is cautiously bullish, while the rating for BR is neutral [5] 2. Core Views of the Report - The rainfall in major rubber - producing areas at home and abroad is expected to increase, which may limit raw material output and strengthen the cost - side support for rubber. The arrival volume at Qingdao Port has decreased, but the import volume of alternative indicators in Yunnan has rebounded. With stable imports and lackluster downstream demand, rubber prices are expected to remain strong. For BR, the supply may increase slightly, and the downstream demand remains lackluster. It may follow the raw material price trend, but it is also affected by the strong price of surrounding natural rubber and continuous tire replacement demand [5] 3.

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided Group 2: Report's Core View - Both Shanghai rubber futures 2601 contract and synthetic rubber futures 2510 contract are expected to run strongly with a short - term and intraday view of oscillating strongly and a medium - term view of oscillating [1][5][7] Group 3: Summary by Related Catalogs Shanghai Rubber (RU) - **Market Situation**: With the weakening of the previous macro - driving force, the rubber market has returned to a market dominated by a weak supply - demand structure. The supply pressure is high as Southeast Asian and domestic rubber - producing areas are in the peak cutting season. However, the August domestic heavy - truck sales data and new - car production and sales data released recently are better than market expectations, showing a significant year - on - year increase. On Wednesday night, the 2601 contract of domestic Shanghai rubber futures maintained an oscillating and stable trend, with the futures price slightly rising 0.06% to 15,875 yuan/ton. It is expected to maintain an oscillating and strong trend on Thursday [5] Synthetic Rubber (BR) - **Market Situation**: With the weakening of the previous macro - driving force, synthetic rubber has returned to a market dominated by a weak supply - demand structure.

On Wednesday night, the 2510 contract of domestic synthetic rubber futures maintained an oscillating and stable trend, with the futures price slightly falling 0.34% to 11,815 yuan/ton. It is expected to maintain an oscillating and strong trend on Thursday [7]

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. Core Viewpoints - Although the geopolitical premium has completely dissipated and the macro environment is bearish, current oil prices are relatively undervalued. The static fundamentals and dynamic forecasts remain favorable, presenting a good opportunity for left - hand side layout. If the geopolitical premium re - emerges, oil prices will have more upside potential [2] - For methanol, its valuation is still high, downstream demand is weak, and prices face pressure. It is recommended to wait and see [4] - For urea, domestic demand is currently weak, but its overall valuation is low and the room for further decline is limited. It is advisable to pay attention to going long at low prices and wait for potential positive factors [6] - For rubber, the price has risen recently. It is recommended to adopt a neutral approach and conduct short - term trading. Consider the strategy of going long on RU2601 and shorting on RU2509 for band trading [13] - For PVC, the supply is strong, demand is weak, and the valuation is high. It is necessary to observe whether exports can reverse the domestic inventory build - up situation. It is recommended to wait and see [13] - For styrene, the BZN spread is expected to repair. After the high - level port inventory is depleted, the styrene price may follow the cost side and fluctuate upwards [15][16] - For polyethylene, the short - term contradiction has shifted from cost - driven decline to high - maintenance - promoted inventory depletion. The price will be determined by the game between the cost and supply sides in the short term. It is recommended to hold short positions [18] - For polypropylene, the cost side may dominate the market, and the price is expected to fluctuate strongly following crude oil in July [19] - For PX, it is expected to continue de - stocking, and the valuation has support at the bottom, but the upside is limited in the short term. Pay attention to the opportunity of going long following crude oil after the peak season arrives [21][22] - For PTA, it is expected to continue to build inventory, and the processing fee has limited room for operation. Pay attention to the opportunity of going long following PX after the downstream performance improves in the peak season [23] - For ethylene glycol, the fundamentals will change from strong to weak, and the short - term valuation is under downward pressure [24] Summary by Category Crude Oil - **Market Quotes**: WTI main crude oil futures closed down $0.34, a 0.54% decline, at $62.74; Brent main crude oil futures closed down $0.37, a 0.56% decline, at $65.74; INE main crude oil futures closed down 5.70 yuan, a 1.15% decline, at 489.5 yuan [1] - **Data**: US EIA weekly data showed that US commercial crude oil inventories increased by 3.04 million barrels to 426.70 million barrels, a 0.72% increase; SPR replenished 0.23 million barrels to 403.20 million barrels, a 0.06% increase; gasoline inventories decreased by 0.79 million barrels to 226.29 million barrels, a 0.35% decrease; diesel inventories increased by 0.71 million barrels to 113.69 million barrels, a 0.63% increase; fuel oil inventories decreased by 0.07 million barrels to 19.73 million barrels, a 0.33% decrease; aviation kerosene inventories decreased by 0.62 million barrels to 43.74 million barrels, a 1.40% decrease [1] Methanol - **Market Quotes**: On August 13, the 01 contract fell 17 yuan/ton to 2479 yuan/ton, and the spot price fell 2 yuan/ton, with a basis of - 104 [4] - **Analysis**: Domestic production has declined again, but corporate profits remain high.

Report Summary 1. Investment Rating The report does not provide an overall industry investment rating. 2. Core Views - **Rubber**: On Wednesday, the domestic Shanghai rubber futures contract 2601 showed a trend of increasing volume and open interest, oscillating and consolidating, and slightly closing up. The price center of the contract during the session slightly moved down to the 15,800 yuan/ton level, and the closing price slightly increased by 0.13% to 15,800 yuan/ton. The 9 - 1 month spread discount widened to 1,010 yuan/ton. Benefiting from better - than - expected domestic automobile production and sales data and year - on - year growth in heavy - truck sales data, driven by demand factors, it is expected that the domestic Shanghai rubber futures contract 2601 may maintain an oscillating and slightly stronger trend in the future [4]. - **Methanol**: On Wednesday, the domestic methanol futures contract 2601 showed a trend of increasing volume and open interest, oscillating weakly, and slightly closing down. The futures price rose to a maximum of 2,497 yuan/ton and dropped to a minimum of 2,477 yuan/ton, and the closing price slightly decreased by 0.28% to 2,479 yuan/ton. The 9 - 1 month spread discount widened to 104 yuan/ton. Affected by the冲高回落 of domestic coal futures prices and the weak supply - demand fundamentals of methanol, under the suppression of a bearish atmosphere, it is expected that the domestic methanol futures contract 2601 may maintain an oscillating and slightly weaker trend in the future [4]. - **Crude Oil**: On Wednesday, the domestic crude oil futures contract 2510 showed a trend of increasing volume and open interest, oscillating weakly, and slightly closing down. The futures price rose to a maximum of 492.3 yuan/barrel and dropped to a minimum of 488.2 yuan/barrel, and the closing price slightly decreased by 0.41% to 490.6 yuan/barrel. Although OPEC and EIA have increased the global crude oil demand forecast for this year and next year, they cannot offset the rising supply pressure from OPEC+ oil - producing countries. Under the suppression of a bearish atmosphere, it is expected that domestic and foreign crude oil futures prices may maintain an oscillating and slightly weaker trend in the future [5]. 3.
