Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - For crude oil, the current oil price has risen and priced in a high geopolitical premium. In the short term, there is still a supply gap from Iran, but considering the expected over - performance of Venezuela's production increase and OPEC's subsequent production recovery, the oil price should be taken profit at high levels, and mid - term layout should be the main operation idea [1]. - For methanol, it has priced in almost all geopolitical premiums. The current price strongly suppresses downstream demand, and the negative feedback may continue, putting pressure on the upside space [1]. - For urea, the current situation of internal and external price differences has opened the import window. Coupled with the expected improvement in production at the end of January, the fundamental outlook for urea is bearish, so it is recommended to short at high levels [1]. - For rubber, the overall commodity has rebounded, with expected large - amplitude fluctuations. It is recommended to trade short - term according to the market, set stop - losses, enter and exit quickly, and strictly control risks. Buying the NR main contract and shorting RU2609 can resume position - building [7]. - For PVC, the overall domestic supply is strong while demand is weak. Although short - term factors such as electricity price expectations, capacity clearance expectations, and export rush support it, the fundamental situation is poor. Attention should be paid to subsequent changes in capacity and production [10]. - For pure benzene and styrene, the non - integrated profit of styrene is neutral to high, and the upward valuation repair space is narrowing. The supply is wide, the port inventory is accumulating, and the demand is in the off - season. The non - integrated profit of styrene has been significantly repaired, so profit - taking can be gradually carried out [14]. - For polyethylene, OPEC+ plans to suspend production growth in Q1 2026, and the crude oil price may have bottomed. The spot price of polyethylene has risen, and the downward valuation space still exists. The coal - based inventory has been significantly reduced, supporting the price. The demand is in the off - season, and the overall operating rate is declining [17]. - For polypropylene, the cost side predicts a slight reduction in global oil inventories, and the supply pressure in H1 2026 is relieved. The demand side has seasonal fluctuations. The overall inventory pressure is high, and there is no prominent short - term contradiction. The long - term contradiction has shifted from cost - driven decline to production mismatch. It is recommended to go long on the PP5 - 9 spread at low levels [19]. - For PX, the current load is high, and the downstream PTA has many maintenance plans. It is expected to maintain an inventory - accumulating pattern before the maintenance season. The mid - term pattern is good, and there are opportunities to go long following the crude oil price at low levels [21]. - For PTA, the supply side has high maintenance in the short term, and the demand side is affected by the off - season. It has entered the inventory - accumulating stage during the Spring Festival. The processing fee has increased significantly, and there is a risk of correction in the short term, but there is still room for valuation increase after the Spring Festival. Mid - term, pay attention to opportunities to go long at low levels [23]. - For ethylene glycol, the overall load is still high, the import is expected to remain high in February, and the port inventory - accumulating cycle will continue. The valuation is currently neutral to low, and there is a risk of rebound due to factors such as the tense situation in Iran and coal price rebound [26].
