Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2. Report Core View - Both Shanghai rubber (RU) and synthetic rubber (BR) are expected to run strongly, with short - term and medium - term trends being oscillatory and the intraday trend being oscillatory and strong [1][5][7]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs Shanghai Rubber (RU) - **Viewpoint**: Intraday view is oscillatory and strong, medium - term view is oscillatory, and the reference view is strong operation [5]. - **Core Logic**: Benefiting from the easing of Sino - US economic and trade relations and the increasing expectation of the Fed's interest rate cut, macro factors have improved. Although it is the peak rubber - tapping season in Southeast Asian producing areas, the actual supply output has decreased slightly year - on - year, and the supply pressure is lower than expected. The domestic auto market production and sales are better than expected, tire prosperity remains high, export growth has rebounded, and demand factors support. On Thursday night, the 2601 contract of domestic Shanghai rubber futures showed an oscillatory and strong trend, with the futures price rising 1.10% to 16055 yuan/ton. It is expected to maintain an oscillatory and strong trend on Friday [5]. Synthetic Rubber (BR) - **Viewpoint**: Intraday view is oscillatory and strong, medium - term view is oscillatory, and the reference view is strong operation [7]. - **Core Logic**: The domestic synthetic rubber futures market is currently dominated by supply - demand fundamental factors. With the increasing expectation of the Fed's interest rate cut, the macro sentiment has improved. Although the industrial factors of synthetic rubber are weak, driven by the slight strengthening of domestic Shanghai rubber futures on Thursday night, the 2511 contract of synthetic rubber futures maintained an oscillatory and stable trend, with the futures price rising 0.59% to 11855 yuan/ton. It is expected to maintain an oscillatory and strong trend on Friday [7].

Report Industry Investment Rating - The report does not explicitly mention an industry investment rating. Core Viewpoints - In the short - term, under a neutral fundamental situation, synthetic rubber is expected to be in an interval - running stage, with pressure above and support below. The upper pressure comes from the high - supply pattern of butadiene rubber and increased inventory pressure, as well as relatively high short - term butadiene arrivals. The lower support is due to the long - term "anti - involution" and supply - side optimization policies, which support the overall valuation of commodities and reduce investors' risk appetite for short - selling. Overall, butadiene rubber is expected to move within an interval, mainly fluctuating with macro - sentiment during the week [3]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 1. Fundamental Tracking - **Futures Market**: For the butadiene rubber main contract (10 contract), the daily closing price decreased by 75 yuan/ton to 11,810 yuan/ton, the trading volume increased by 25,435 lots to 130,504 lots, the open interest decreased by 2,330 lots to 26,614 lots, and the trading volume increased by 144,632 ten - thousand yuan to 770,146 ten - thousand yuan [1]. - **Spread Data**: The basis of Shandong butadiene - futures main contract increased by 25 to 90, the monthly spread of BR09 - BR10 increased by 20 to 20.

Industry News - As of September 3, 2025, the latest inventory of butadiene in East China ports was about 30,950 tons, an increase of 6,950 tons from the previous period. The arrival of imported ships was relatively concentrated during the week, which led to a significant increase in the inventory of sample ports. And some trade volumes were for sale, so inventory changes should be carefully monitored [2]. - As of September 3, 2025, the inventory of Chinese high - cis butadiene rubber sample enterprises was 31,900 tons, an increase of 200 tons from the previous period, a month - on - month increase of 0.60%. The overall supply of domestic butadiene rubber was sufficient this period. Some private enterprises in Shandong and East China were expected to undergo maintenance, and the raw material market was generally strong, so some traders and downstream buyers followed up. However, the continuous volatile trend of the synthetic rubber futures market still affected the upward movement of the trading center. The inventory of sample production enterprises decreased slightly, while the inventory of sample trading enterprises increased [2][3].

Summary by Industry Black Industry - **Iron Ore**: The stable - growth policy of the steel industry boosts raw material sentiment. The fundamentals have limited contradictions, and it is expected to oscillate at high levels following finished products.

Report Industry Investment Rating - All the analyzed energy and chemical products are rated as "volatile", including crude oil, fuel oil, asphalt, polyester, rubber, methanol, polyolefins, and polyvinyl chloride [1][2][4][5][6] Core Viewpoints - OPEC+ may consider further increasing oil production in the Sunday meeting, which could put pressure on oil prices if the increase exceeds expectations. The market is also affected by factors such as Russian oil exports and US inventory data [1] - For fuel oil, the reduction of arbitrage cargo inflows from the West and the expected decrease in high - sulfur shipments from Iran and Russia may provide some support, but overall demand lacks significant highlights [2] - In the asphalt market, the increase in demand in the northern regions in September may drive price increases, but the rise may be limited by increased supply in some areas. The supply - demand contradiction is expected to ease [2] - Polyester products are affected by factors such as high PX supply, increased TA maintenance, and under - expected seasonal improvement in terminal demand, with prices expected to follow the cost - side fluctuations [4] - The rubber market is supported by factors such as inventory reduction and favorable heavy - truck sales data, but is also affected by产区 weather and demand conditions, with prices expected to be volatile [4] - Methanol prices are expected to enter a phased bottom area in September due to limited supply growth and expected demand recovery [5] - Polyolefins are expected to maintain narrow - range fluctuations in September as the supply and demand are both strong and the cost - side is stable [5] - PVC prices are expected to be volatile and weak in September due to weak real - estate construction demand and expected export decline, but there is a risk of policy - driven speculation [6] Summary by Directory Research Views - **Crude Oil**: On Wednesday, oil prices dropped significantly.
