The main contract for synthetic rubber BR2509 closed at 11,785 yuan/ton, an increase of 2.48% compared to the previous day's settlement price. On the cost side, the Maoming Petrochemical butadiene unit is restarting, and Fushun Petrochemical plans maintenance, while Jilin Petrochemical is in the commissioning phase, indicating a potentially ample domestic supply. Additionally, port inventories remain relatively low, with expected concentrated imports arriving in late August, limiting the downside for butadiene in the short term. Supply-side dynamics show a mix of unit restarts and maintenance, with a slight expected increase in styrene-butadiene rubber supply and limited inventory depletion. Demand-side pressures persist, particularly for semi-steel tires, which maintain high inventory levels, complicating production rate increases. Overall, while the cost side has limited downside, the supply-demand balance for BR remains loose, suggesting a wide fluctuation in prices [5]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Report's Core View - The current oil price has been relatively undervalued, and its static fundamentals and dynamic forecasts remain favorable. It is a good opportunity for left - side layout. If the geopolitical premium re - emerges, the oil price will have more upside potential [3]. - For methanol, the valuation is still high, downstream demand is weak, and the price is under pressure. It is recommended to wait and see or short it within the sector when the price is high [5]. - For urea, although the current domestic demand is weak, the overall valuation is low, and the room for further decline is limited. It is advisable to go long at low prices and wait for potential positive factors [7]. - For rubber, a neutral approach is recommended for the short - term high - rising rubber price, with quick in - and - out operations. One can also consider a band - trading strategy of going long on RU2601 and shorting on RU2509 [11]. - For PVC, the supply is strong, demand is weak, and the valuation is high. The fundamentals are poor, and it is necessary to observe whether exports can reverse the domestic inventory build - up situation. The price may decline significantly after the anti - involution sentiment fades [11]. - For styrene, the BZN spread is expected to repair in the short term. After the high - level port inventory is reduced, the styrene price may oscillate upwards following the cost side [13][14]. - For polyethylene, the short - term price will be determined by the game between the cost side and the supply side. It is recommended to hold short positions [16]. - For polypropylene, the cost side will likely dominate the market, and the price is expected to follow the oil price and oscillate upwards [17]. - For PX, the load remains high, and it is expected to continue de - stocking. The valuation has support at the bottom but limited upside in the short term. One can consider going long following the oil price when the peak season arrives [19][20]. - For PTA, the supply is expected to continue building up inventory, and the processing fee has limited room for operation. One can consider going long following PX when the downstream performance improves in the peak season [21]. - For ethylene glycol, the fundamentals will turn from strong to weak, and the short - term valuation may decline [22]. 3.
