1. Report Industry Investment Ratings - No explicit industry - wide investment ratings are provided in the report. However, trend intensities are given for each commodity: - **Neutral (0)**: PX, PTA, MEG, rubber, synthetic rubber, asphalt, paper pulp, methanol, LPG, propylene, fuel oil, low - sulfur fuel oil, urea [2][9][13] - **Weakly Bearish (-1)**: LLDPE, PP, glass,烧碱, PVC,纯碱 [36][40][51] 2. Core Views of the Report - The report provides short - term and medium - term outlooks for various energy and chemical commodities. It takes into account factors such as supply and demand, inventory levels, macro - economic events, and trade relations. For most commodities, the market is influenced by a combination of fundamental factors and macro - level events, leading to a mix of trends including short - term oscillations and long - term bearish or bullish tendencies [9][20][56] 3. Summary by Commodity Aromatics and Polyester Chain - **PX**: Short - term range - bound market, long PXN. Supply is slightly tight due to planned and unexpected plant shutdowns. Demand may improve with the onset of cold weather and the start - up of new PTA plants [9] - **PTA**: Demand may improve marginally. It's a range - bound market for the single - side, and short positions should be reduced. Supply increases with new plant start - ups, and demand is affected by polyester consumption and trade relations [10] - **MEG**: Short positions below 4000 should be reduced. Domestic plant operating rates are rising, but some plants will undergo maintenance. Import and cost factors also impact the market [11] Rubber - **Natural Rubber**: Expected to trade sideways. Vietnam's rubber exports in September decreased due to weather and weak demand, but a slight increase is expected in October [13][16] - **Synthetic Rubber**: Likely to oscillate in the short term. There is fundamental pressure from high supply, but the valuation is moderately low, and macro - events may support the price [20] Asphalt - Follows crude oil and trades weakly with oscillations. Production decreased this week, and both factory and social inventories declined [21][33] Plastics - **LLDPE**: The trend is bearish. Market sentiment is weak, cost support from crude oil is reduced, and supply and inventory pressures are high [34][35] - **PP**: The trend remains bearish. Trade wars, falling oil prices, and high supply suppress the market price [38][39] - **PVC**: The trend is bearish. Trade wars, cost declines, and high supply and inventory levels create pressure on the market [71] Chemicals - **Caustic Soda**: The far - month valuation is suppressed by alumina production cut expectations. Supply and demand are affected by alumina industry conditions and winter maintenance schedules [43] - **Methanol**: Expected to trade sideways. There is fundamental pressure from high supply and inventory, but the valuation is moderately low, and macro - events may support the price [56] - **Urea**: Short - term oscillations with a bearish medium - term trend. High social inventory, weak domestic demand, and uncertain export policies contribute to the situation [59][60] - **Soda Ash**: The spot market shows little change. Supply is high, and downstream demand is weak, leading to a short - term weak and oscillating market [61] - **LPG**: The futures valuation is being repaired, but macro - risks remain. PDH operating rates are decreasing [64] - **Propylene**: Supply and demand are relatively loose, and it trades weakly with oscillations in the short term [64] Fuel Oil - **Fuel Oil**: There was a slight night - session rebound, but the short - term weakness persists. - **Low - Sulfur Fuel Oil**: Undergoes narrow - range adjustments, and the high - low sulfur spread in the overseas spot market is temporarily stable [73] Shipping - **Container Shipping Index (European Line)**: Spot prices show little change, and geopolitical issues are recurring. Freight rates are affected by various factors such as market supply and demand and exchange rates [75]

随后在油厂一带就不断闪现出耀眼的火光，并伴随持续的巨响。 天亮后这一片区域还飘散着浓浓的黑烟，在远处都清晰可见，弥漫在城市的上空。 泽连斯基回国后，乌克兰再度对俄罗斯的能源系统发动猛烈打击。 突发消息，乌军空袭了萨马拉州的炼油厂。 《开源情报防御者》报道，当地时间10月19日夜间，莫斯科数百公里外的萨马拉地区传来爆炸声。 乌克兰的无人机群在晚间启动，率先飞向了当地重要的能源设施——新古比雪夫斯克炼油厂。 俄军的防空系统试图启动，但无人机还是突破了拦截，径直击中了目标。 据悉，新古比雪夫斯克炼油厂距离乌克兰边境已经超过了1000公里。但光今年就至少遭受了3次重击。 一夜之间，乌克兰就对俄罗斯的两大能源系统同时发动了猛攻。他们正在构建自主的远程打击体系，减 少对西方导弹的依赖。 综合来看，这段时间乌军对俄能源设施的打击不仅体现在炼油厂上，还涵盖了出口油泵站和港口码头。 初步信息显示，该厂的分馏装置遭到了严重破坏，附近的油罐车也被波及点燃，烧起熊熊大火。 值得注意的是，乌军很可能还在此次袭击中动用了国产的远程导弹，详细的战报应该不久后就会陆续出 炉了。 这再次证明了乌军的远程打击能力，如今他们已经能够从容且高效地发 ...

当前，俄乌冲突已演变为一场以能源设施为焦点的"绞杀战"。双方都力图摧毁对方的能源命脉，旨在削弱其战争经济潜力与国民士气。这场较量已不再是单 纯的军事对抗，而是一场关乎经济韧性、战略意志与国际支持度的综合博弈。 电力缺口直接打击了残存的工业生产能力。重建被毁的能源设施需要巨额资金和漫长时间，这完全依赖于并不稳定的西方援助，使得乌克兰的经济复苏遥遥 无期。 俄罗斯这边也好不到哪去，能源收入链出现"断裂风险"。俄罗斯的能源出口收入是国家预算的支柱。炼油产能的持续受损，不仅影响了国内供应，长远看更 会侵蚀其最重要的外汇来源。前线的军事行动同样依赖稳定的燃油供应，任何短缺都会直接削弱其持续作战能力。 在战术层面，双方采取了截然不同但同样致命的打击方式： 乌克兰的"手术刀式"打击：由于缺乏远程精确导弹，乌方主要依靠无人机群，深入俄罗斯腹地，对炼油厂发动了一系列突袭。这种打击如同"外科手术"，专 攻俄罗斯经济的造血核心。据评估，俄罗斯约半数的大型炼油厂曾遭袭击，导致其近40%的炼油产能一度瘫痪。此举直接引发了俄罗斯国内的汽油短缺、油 价上涨，甚至迫使政府临时禁止燃油出口以稳定市场，精准地打击了俄罗斯的战争财政和民生秩序。 ...
