The EG main contract closed at 3,924 yuan/ton, up 10 yuan/ton or 0.26% from the previous trading day. The spot price of EG in the East China market was 3,978 yuan/ton, down 4 yuan/ton or 0.10% from the previous trading day. The spot basis of EG in East China was 74 yuan/ton, up 3 yuan/ton month-on-month [1]. - The domestic ethylene glycol load is operating at a high level, and the domestic supply will be abundant in the future. Overseas, there are still many losses in ethylene glycol supply, and more than two sets of Saudi devices are still in shutdown or low-load operation, with little change in import expectations. On the demand side, with the recent cooling, the polyester downstream has moderately improved, but the increase in polyester load is limited [2]. - The strategy includes cautious short selling hedging on a unilateral basis. There is a large pressure to accumulate inventory in the fourth quarter under high supply, with many production plans, and port inventories are expected to gradually recover. For the inter - term strategy, it is recommended to reverse the spread between EG2601 and EG2605 [3]. Summary by Directory Price and Basis - The closing price of the EG main contract was 3,924 yuan/ton, up 10 yuan/ton or 0.26% from the previous trading day.

Report Industry Investment Rating - Unilateral: PX/PTA/PF/PR are rated neutral [4] - Cross-variety: Go long on PF processing fees at low prices: PF2511 - 0.855PTA2601 - 0.332MEG2601 [5] - Inter-period: PTA2601 - 2605 reverse spread [5] Core Viewpoints - On November 6, the PX/PTA main contracts rose by 3.05% and 2.27% respectively. The current PTA spot market has abundant supply, with good long - term expectations but pressure in the near - term market, requiring comprehensive judgment [1] - In the cost side, the re - balancing of Russian oil trade is in the market observation period. The market focus is on the significantly increased maritime inventory. The structure of the increased inventory is crucial for the fourth - quarter oil price trend. PX's short - term floating price rebounds, but the rebound space of PXN is limited. PTA's processing fees are compressed to a low level, with more near - term maintenance plans, but the inventory accumulation pressure will gradually emerge after December [2] - The polyester operating rate is 91.7% (month - on - month increase of 0.3%). Since late October, domestic sales orders have improved significantly. The PF's short - term supply - demand situation is better than that of raw materials, and the processing fees are expected to be strong.

Group 1: Market Overview - The domestic commodity futures market stabilized on November 6, with most varieties rebounding. The China Securities Commodity Futures Price Index closed at 1469.78 points, up 12.38 points or 0.85% from the previous trading day [1] - The China Securities Commodity Futures Index closed at 2027.93 points, also up 17.07 points or 0.85% from the previous trading day [1] Group 2: Chemical Sector - The chemical sector showed significant rebound signs, with paraxylene (PX) leading the market with a 3.05% increase, reaching a two-month high. Improved supply-demand expectations were the main drivers for PX's price increase [2] - The demand for PX is supported by a recovery in new orders from weaving enterprises and a reduction in inventory levels for weaving and polyester products [2] Group 3: Coking Coal and Coke - Coking coal and coke futures rose, with coking coal and coke main contracts recording increases of 2.38% and 2.07%, respectively. The tightening supply is a major bullish factor for the coking market [3] - As of November 6, the capacity utilization rate of coking coal mines was 83.8%, down 1 percentage point week-on-week, indicating a reduction in supply [3] Group 4: Shipping Index - The shipping index for Europe experienced a significant decline of nearly 4%, with a drop of 3.91% at the close. This was attributed to market adjustments following previous price increases and high capacity levels [4] - The main contract for the shipping index saw a reduction of 5660 contracts, with a net outflow of over 200 million yuan, indicating a retreat of bullish sentiment [4] Group 5: Asphalt and Other Chemical Products - The asphalt market continued to show weakness, hitting a new low not seen since September of the previous year, with a 2.05% decline. The drop was influenced by falling oil prices and seasonal demand reductions [5] - Other chemical products like polyethylene continued to show weakness, although the decline in prices moderated towards the end of the trading day [5]

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints - EB2512 fell and then rebounded, closing at 6300 yuan/ton. This week, the 450,000 - ton Tianjin Bohua and 800,000 - ton Zhongwei Guangdong plants restarted, and new capacity utilization increased, leading to a rise in styrene production and capacity utilization. Last week, downstream operating rates mainly declined, and the consumption of downstream EPS, PS, and ABS decreased slightly. Factory and port inventories decreased, but inventory pressure remained high. Spot pure benzene and ethylene CFR Northeast Asia continued to be weak, with non - integrated process costs decreasing and profits recovering. International oil prices have been oscillating weakly recently due to inventory accumulation in the US API and EIA and a stronger US dollar. The upcoming shutdown of Hengli's 720,000 - ton plant and the increase in some downstream operating loads may intensify the short - term supply - demand tight balance of styrene, but the improvement in supply - demand under high inventory pressure has limited positive effects. Currently, non - integrated plants are deeply in the red, and integrated plants have a slight loss. The valuation is at a low level, but there is a lack of drivers for recovery. Technically, EB2512 should focus on the support around 6200 and the resistance around 6410 [2]. 3.

The 30 - year, 10 - year, and 2 - year main contracts declined, while the 5 - year main contract remained flat. The central bank conducted 655 billion yuan of 7 - day reverse repurchase operations, with a net withdrawal of 492.2 billion yuan on the day. The US ADP employment data in October was better than expected [5]. - The macro - economic recovery momentum needs to be strengthened. It is expected that the monetary policy will remain loose. The treasury bond yield is at a relatively low level. The Chinese economy shows a steady recovery trend, and there is room for domestic demand policies to exert force. The market risk preference has significantly increased. Therefore, it is expected that there will be no trending market for treasury bond futures [6]. Stock Index Futures - On the previous trading day, stock index futures showed mixed performance. The main contracts of CSI 300, CSI 500, and CSI 1000 stock index futures rose, while the main contract of SSE 50 stock index futures declined slightly [8][9]. - The domestic economy remains stable, but the macro - economic recovery momentum is not strong, and the corporate profit growth rate is at a low level. However, the domestic asset valuation is at a low level, and there is room for valuation repair. The Chinese economy has sufficient resilience. Recently, market sentiment has significantly warmed up, and incremental funds have continued to enter the market. The uncertainty in Sino - US economic and trade relations has eased. It is expected that the risk of a significant decline is low [9]. Precious Metals - On the previous trading day, the gold main contract closed down, and the silver main contract closed up. The global trade and financial environment is complex. The trends of "anti - globalization" and "de - dollarization" are beneficial to the allocation and hedging value of gold. Central bank gold - buying behavior also supports the gold price. The U.S. labor market has further slowed down, and the Federal Reserve is expected to continue to cut interest rates, which is also beneficial to precious metals. However, the recent increase in precious metals has been large, the pricing is relatively full, the heat is too high, and the volatility has increased [11]. Rebar and Hot - Rolled Coils - On the previous trading day, rebar and hot - rolled coil futures continued to correct. In the medium term, the price of finished products is dominated by the industrial supply - demand logic. On the demand side, the long - term downward trend of the real estate industry has not reversed, and the demand for rebar is still declining year - on - year. In the medium term, it is the traditional peak demand season, and downstream demand has slightly improved. On the supply side, the over - capacity situation remains unchanged, but due to the deterioration of steel mill profitability, the weekly output of rebar has declined month - on - month. Currently, the rebar inventory is significantly higher than that of the same period last year, and the inventory pressure is obvious. The basic logic of hot - rolled coils is similar to that of rebar [13][14]. Iron Ore - On the previous trading day, iron ore futures continued to correct. The national daily pig iron output has dropped below 2.4 million tons, which is negative for the iron ore price. On the supply side, the import volume of iron ore and the output of domestic mines have continued to increase month - on - month after the second quarter. It is expected that the iron ore supply will turn to a year - on - year growth trend in the fourth quarter. Since October, the iron ore port inventory has continued to rise, and the current inventory is close to that of the same period last year [16]. Coking Coal and Coke - On the previous trading day, coking coal and coke futures opened low and closed high. For coking coal, production in major producing areas is restricted due to underground and environmental inspections, and the supply is slightly tight. On the demand side, some downstream coking enterprises and intermediate links have appropriately replenished their inventories, and market transactions are performing well. For coke, the third - round increase in the spot purchase price has been initiated but has not been fully implemented. Coking enterprise production is also affected by environmental factors. Due to the significant increase in coking coal prices recently, some coking enterprises have incurred losses and carried out centralized maintenance, resulting in a month - on - month decline in coke supply. Whether downstream steel mills will accept a new round of coke price increases remains to be observed after the compression of blast furnace profits [18][19]. Ferroalloys - On the previous trading day, the main contracts of manganese - silicon and silicon - iron rose. The shipping volume of manganese ore from Gabon has rebounded, and the supply of Australian ore has increased since June. The port manganese ore inventory has slightly rebounded, and the port manganese ore quotation has stabilized at a low level. The main - producing area electricity price has stabilized, and the prices of coke and semi - coke have recovered from a low level. The cost of ferroalloys has increased from a low level. The output of rebar by sample building material steel mills last week was lower than that of the same period in 2024. The long - process gross profit of rebar in September declined. The production of manganese - silicon and silicon - iron has remained at a high level, and the demand for ferroalloys is weak. The short - term supply is still in excess. The exchange warehouse receipts have started to be registered rapidly, and the supply surplus has continued to drive inventory accumulation [21]. Crude Oil - On the previous trading day, INE crude oil opened low and closed high, closing above the 5 - day moving average. The U.S. government shutdown has suspended the release of the CFTC position report. The number of U.S. oil and gas rigs has increased for the second consecutive week, reaching the highest level since June. India's largest Russian oil buyer will comply with Western sanctions on Moscow while maintaining relationships with existing oil suppliers [23]. - Although the number of Baker Hughes rigs has increased again, it is still a long way to go for the U.S. to increase crude oil production. U.S. sanctions on Russian oil companies are positive for crude oil prices. OPEC will suspend production increases next year, which gives confidence to the crude oil market and supports the oil price increase [24]. Fuel Oil - On the previous trading day, fuel oil oscillated downward and broke below the moving average group. The delay in the resumption of the crude oil unit of Kuwait's al - Zour refinery has boosted the fuel oil market. The crack spread of Asian ultra - low - sulfur fuel oil has reached the highest level in more than three weeks. It is expected that the supply of the Asian fuel oil market will be abundant in November, but the fundamentals may potentially support a moderate price increase. The east - west arbitrage spread has narrowed, and the amount of fuel oil arbitrage from Europe in December will decrease, reducing the Asian fuel oil supply. The Asian high - sulfur fuel oil market is supported by the robust downstream marine fuel oil demand, but the increase in the sales of marine fuel oil loaded in the second half of November may drag down the spot spread [26][27]. - The market expects sufficient fuel oil supply, which is negative for the fuel oil price. Sanctions on Russia and the reduction of Sino - US trade frictions are positive for the fuel oil price [27]. Polyolefins - On the previous trading day, the offer in the Hangzhou PP market declined. The global economic environment is weak, and merchants are cautious about the future market and offer discounts to promote transactions. In the Yuyao market, the price of LLDPE partially decreased. Merchants are actively selling goods to maintain the de - stocking rhythm, and the transaction center of gravity has continued to move down [29]. - On the supply side, the impact of maintenance in November is expected to be 416,000 tons, still at a high level of maintenance within the year. On the inventory side, the social inventory and downstream factory inventory are lower than the same period last year. Currently, the market sentiment is cautious, but there may be a collective replenishment in the future. On the demand side, the peak season for the start - up of agricultural films and packaging films in November is not prosperous, which exerts pressure on prices [29]. Synthetic Rubber - On the previous trading day, the main contract of synthetic rubber declined. The cost side is weak, which has continuously pressured the negotiation center of gravity on the spot side. The price on the futures market has oscillated downward, and the price difference with natural rubber has widened to 4,000 yuan. It is expected that the downward space is limited. One should pay attention to the raw material market and supply - side changes in the future [31]. - The domestic butadiene market has accelerated its decline, reaching a new low for the year. The impact of the maintenance of the cis - butadiene units of Qilu Petrochemical and Yangzi Petrochemical has emerged, and the weekly production and capacity utilization rate have decreased slightly. The start - up rate of tire sample enterprises has declined this cycle, and the end - of - month shipments are relatively concentrated, which is conducive to inventory digestion. It is expected that the inventory of sample production enterprises and sample trading enterprises will slightly decrease next week [31][32]. Natural Rubber - On the previous trading day, the main contracts of natural rubber and 20 - standard rubber declined. The spot price in Shanghai has been adjusted downward, and the basis has remained stable. Last week, the price on the futures market oscillated, and there was a correction at the end of the week. In the future, one should focus on the phenological conditions in the producing areas and demand expectations [34]. - Overseas producing areas such as southern Thailand and Vietnam, as well as Hainan in China, have been affected by typhoons and heavy rainfall, resulting in不畅 raw material release and high raw material procurement prices. The start - up rate of tire sample enterprises has declined this cycle, and the end - of - month shipments are relatively concentrated, which is conducive to inventory digestion. The natural rubber inventory has continued to decline in both deep - and light - colored rubber, with a significant decline in light - colored rubber. The latest data shows that Thailand's natural rubber exports (excluding compound rubber) in the first three quarters of 2025 totaled 1.993 million tons, a year - on - year decrease of 8% [34]. PVC - On the previous trading day, the main contract of PVC declined, and the spot price was adjusted downward. The basis remained stable. The current situation of oversupply in the PVC market continues, but the space for a further significant downward movement may be limited. It still needs to wait for the fundamentals to further improve. After the holiday, one should focus on exports and supply reduction [36]. - According to Longzhong data, the capacity utilization rate of PVC production enterprises this week has increased month - on - month and decreased year - on - year. Some downstream enterprises in the north have entered the off - season of demand, and their start - up rates are planned to be reduced. Affected by Indian holidays and anti - dumping duties, exports are mainly in a wait - and - see state and are expected to continue to decline. The overall digestion of PVC has decreased. In terms of cost and profit, coal prices have corrected, and semi - coke prices have increased. Due to unstable power supply and peak - shifting production, the calcium carbide price is relatively firm. The social inventory of PVC has decreased month - on - month but increased year - on - year [36][37]. Urea - On the previous trading day, the main contract of urea rose. The price in Shandong Linyi remained stable. The basis has slightly narrowed. In the short term, one should pay attention to changes in export policies and signals of seasonal recovery in agricultural demand. It is expected that urea will fluctuate within a narrow range this week [38]. - Some previously shut - down urea production devices have gradually resumed operation this week, but they have not fully recovered, and production has increased slightly. The tail orders of autumn fertilizers are coming to an end, and some start - up rates may be affected. Coal prices have remained stable, and the cost side has basically remained the same. The factory quotes of urea this period first decreased and then increased slightly, but the overall average price has decreased, and the urea profit has continued to narrow. Only the new coal gasification process has a small profit, while the fixed - bed natural gas process is significantly in the red. The total inventory of Chinese urea enterprises has decreased compared with last week [38]. p - Xylene (PX) - On the previous trading day, the main contract of PX rose slightly. The PXN spread has been adjusted, and the PX - MX spread has declined. The operating rate of PX has increased to 87%. Fujia Dahua restarted at the end of October and produced products at the beginning of November. In September, the mainland's PX import volume decreased both month - on - month and year - on - year. The oil price is still in a volatile and stalemate rhythm after the rebound from sanctions on Russia. One should pay attention to the situation in Venezuela [39]. - In the short term, the PX supply - demand structure has improved, the PXN spread is relatively firm, and the supply has slightly decreased. The cost - side crude oil is in a volatile adjustment. Therefore, PX may oscillate and adjust in the short term. One should participate within a range, control positions, be vigilant about crude oil changes, and pay attention to macro - policy changes [40][42]. PTA - On the previous trading day, the main contract of PTA2601 rose slightly. On the supply side, Yisheng Dahua has slightly reduced its load, and the PTA operating rate has been adjusted to around 78%. Dushan Energy's 4th - phase 3 - million - ton PTA project has been put into production in October and is currently operating on two lines. In November, the planned PTA maintenance is expected to be more than restarts. Many PTA production facilities have planned maintenance. On the demand side, the polyester device has changed little, and the polyester operating rate is 91.7%. The start - up rate of Jiangsu and Zhejiang terminals has increased, and factory raw material inventory has increased. In terms of efficiency, due to the mismatch between upstream and downstream, profits have been concentrated upstream, and the PTA processing fee has continued to decline [43]. - In the short term, the PTA processing fee is still low, the inventory is maintained at a low level, and the

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints - EG continues its weak trend under high supply pressure. The main EG futures contract closed at 3,914 yuan/ton (+13 yuan/ton, +0.33% compared to the previous trading day), and the spot price in the East China market was 3,982 yuan/ton (-13 yuan/ton, -0.33% compared to the previous trading day). The spot basis in East China was 71 yuan/ton (down 2 yuan/ton month-on-month) [1]. - In terms of production profit, the production profit of ethylene-based EG was -$57/ton (down $9/ton month-on-month), and that of coal-based syngas EG was -818 yuan/ton (down 94 yuan/ton month-on-month) [1]. - Regarding inventory, the inventory at the main ports in East China was 562,000 tons (up 39,000 tons month-on-month) according to CCF data on Mondays, and 499,000 tons (up 16,000 tons month-on-month) according to Longzhong data on Thursdays. With more arrivals planned this week, inventory accumulation is expected [1]. - Overall, on the supply side, the domestic ethylene glycol load is operating at a high level, and domestic supply is abundant. Overseas, there are still many supply losses, and the import outlook remains unchanged. On the demand side, the downstream polyester market has moderately improved with the cooling weather, but the increase in polyester load is limited [1]. - For trading strategies, it is advisable to cautiously short on rallies for hedging. Given high supply, there is significant pressure for inventory accumulation in the fourth quarter, and port inventory is expected to gradually rise. An inverse spread strategy can be adopted for EG2601 - EG2605, and there is no cross-variety strategy [2]. 3.

Commodity Analysis Copper - Shanghai copper opened low and moved high, showing weakness during the day. The US government shutdown continued, and the copper supply was tight due to the accident in the Indonesian copper mine and the upcoming smelter maintenance. The scrap copper supply was expected to increase with the rising copper price. The downstream demand was suppressed, and the inventory was slightly increasing. The copper price lacked a clear signal [9]. Lithium Carbonate - Lithium carbonate opened low, moved high, and then declined during the day. The upstream production was active, with an increase in output. The downstream demand was strong, driven by the energy storage battery. The inventory was decreasing. However, the market was affected by the news of large - scale production resumption, showing a pattern of both supply and demand increase. If the resumption news was confirmed, the supply might become more abundant, and the price might be weak in the short term [11]. Crude Oil - OPEC+ decided to increase production by 137,000 barrels per day in December, which would increase the supply pressure in the fourth quarter but relieve it in the first quarter of next year. The demand peak season ended, and the market was worried about the demand. The supply - surplus pattern remained, but the export of Russian crude oil was expected to be restricted. The price was expected to fluctuate recently [12]. Asphalt - The asphalt supply was expected to decrease in November. The downstream demand was affected by funds and weather. The inventory was at a low level. The crude oil price fluctuated, and the asphalt futures price was expected to be weak and volatile [15]. PP - The PP downstream开工率 increased slightly, but the plastic weaving开工率 decreased. The supply increased with new capacity and fewer maintenance devices. The demand in the peak season was lower than expected. The price was expected to be weak and volatile [16][17]. Plastic - The plastic开工率 increased, and the downstream开工率 decreased. The supply increased with new capacity. The demand in the peak season was not as good as expected. The price was expected to be weak and volatile [18]. PVC - The PVC开工率 increased, and the downstream开工率 was low. The export was expected to weaken. The inventory was high, and the real - estate market was still adjusting. The price was expected to be weak and volatile [20]. Coking Coal - The coking coal supply tightened, and the inventory was transferred downward. The demand was weak in the short term due to environmental protection restrictions but was expected to recover. The supply - demand balance was tight [21][22]. Urea - The urea upstream factory's shipment improved, and the price rose slightly. The production was expected to be high. The downstream demand was mainly for terminal fertilizer storage. The inventory increased. The price was expected to consolidate at a low level without substantial positive news [23].
