Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - Due to the lack of fundamental support, the pure benzene futures 2603 contract is on a slow bottom - seeking path. Affected by increased external import pressure and weak downstream demand, it is expected to continue its weak trend [2]. - The pure benzene market is facing severe challenges in the short term. With huge pressure from the supply side and intensified negative feedback from the demand side, under the dual pressure of collapsing crude oil costs and a continuously loose fundamental situation, the price trend has evolved from "cyclical fluctuations" to a deep bottom - seeking of "structural surplus" [6]. Group 3: Summary According to Related Catalogs Supply Side - In recent years, the concentrated commissioning of refining and chemical integration projects has led to continuous expansion of pure benzene production capacity. New devices of large - scale projects such as Shandong Yulong Petrochemical and Guangxi Petrochemical will be put into operation in the fourth quarter. It is expected that the annual domestic pure benzene output will increase by 10% year - on - year to reach 23.12 million tons [3]. - From January to September 2025, the domestic pure benzene import volume increased by 40.5% year - on - year. In the first three quarters, the import from South Korea alone reached 4.115 million tons, almost accounting for most of China's total imports. It is expected that the external import volume in November will remain high, further strengthening the supply - loose pattern [3]. Demand Side - From January to September 2025, the total downstream demand for pure benzene increased by 8% year - on - year. The main products such as styrene and caprolactam had a high operating rate of 77% - 96%. However, this "high - operation, negative - profit" situation is an abnormal cycle that will eventually form a negative feedback to the upstream [4]. - In the fourth quarter, the negative feedback effect is accelerating. Styrene, the largest downstream of pure benzene, has seen its production profit drop to the lowest level in the same period of history, and its inventory pressure is increasing. The three major downstream industries of styrene are facing weak demand and insufficient orders. In October, the operating rates of styrene, caprolactam, and adipic acid decreased month - on - month, indicating that the demand is just starting to cool down [5]. Inventory - As of November 3, 2025, the total commercial inventory of pure benzene at the port of Jiangsu, China, was 121,000 tons, an increase of 36,000 tons from the previous week with a week - on - week increase of 42.35%, and an increase of 20,000 tons compared with the same period last year with a year - on - year increase of 19.80%. The domestic pure benzene market has entered a inventory - accumulation cycle, highlighting the weak demand [6].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The energy and chemical industry will continue to consolidate in a range. Attention should be paid to when the high inventory of liquid chemicals starts to decline. The supply pressure of crude oil persists, and geopolitical risks still exist. The overall chemical industry continues its weak and volatile pattern, with methanol rebounding during the day. The supply of PTA is limited in the short - term, and the processing fee of short - fiber is expected to be compressed. Energy and chemical products generally show a pattern of range - bound movement [2][3][4]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Market Outlook - **Crude Oil**: Supply pressure continues, and geopolitical risks remain. The EIA data shows that the US crude oil inventory increased last week, the refinery operating rate decreased month - on - month, and gasoline and diesel continued to destock. The overseas refined oil inventory pressure has eased, and the crack spread is strong, which still provides phased support for the demand side of crude oil. However, the reality of continuous inventory accumulation is difficult to change, and the price is expected to fluctuate [4][8]. - **Asphalt**: The asphalt futures price may test the 3200 pressure level again. The OPEC + group will continue to increase production in December, and after the end of the Palestine - Israel conflict, the crude oil price has declined. The supply tension problem has been resolved, and the over - valuation premium of asphalt has begun to decline [4][9]. - **High - Sulfur Fuel Oil**: The fuel oil is in a weak and volatile state. The supply of fuel oil in the Asia - Pacific region is expected to decline in November due to the decrease in Russian exports. However, the demand for fuel oil is still weak, and attention should be paid to the development of the Russia - Ukraine conflict [4][9]. - **Low - Sulfur Fuel Oil**: It follows the crude oil and fluctuates weakly. It is affected by the decline in Russian refined oil exports, but it is also facing negative factors such as the decline in shipping demand, green energy substitution, and high - sulfur substitution. It is expected to follow the crude oil to fluctuate, and its current valuation is relatively low [4][11]. - **PX**: The market lacks clear news guidance, and the price fluctuates in a range under the game between cost and sentiment. The cost - side guidance is limited, and the short - term supply - demand pattern is acceptable under the support of the downstream polyester load [12]. - **PTA**: New Fengming starts new and stops old, and the short - term new supply is limited. The upstream cost is in a stalemate, and the supply has not significantly decreased. There is a certain expectation of improvement in the short - term supply - demand pattern, and the price is not likely to fall deeply in the short - term [12]. - **Short - Fiber**: Downstream factories are digesting their previous stockpiles, and the processing fee is expected to be compressed to a certain extent. The upstream cost fluctuates, and the short - fiber itself has no independent market, with limited supply - demand variables and general driving forces [18][19]. - **Bottle Chip**: The cost is in a stalemate, and the supply - demand drive is limited. The upstream polyester raw materials fluctuate within a range, and the polyester bottle chip price follows suit. The medium - term supply - demand is expected to weaken, and the processing fee is in a stalemate [20]. - **Methanol**: There is slight support at the 2100 integer level, and it fluctuates. The domestic methanol factory operating rate is at a high level, and the supply is abundant. The port inventory is high, but considering the possible disturbances from Iran in winter, it still has low - buying value [23]. - **Urea**: High inventory suppression and cost support coexist, and it is expected to fluctuate in a narrow range. The supply is at a high level and fluctuates, the demand for winter wheat is coming to an end, and the high inventory suppresses the upward space of the futures price, while the coal cost provides support [24]. - **Ethylene Glycol**: The supply - demand contradiction has become the focus of the market again, and the pessimistic sentiment is difficult to reverse. The supply pressure is difficult to relieve in the short - term, and the market is worried about a new round of capacity release. The port inventory is expected to continue to increase [16]. - **Styrene**: There are still concerns about inventory over - filling, and it fluctuates weakly. The cost - side pure benzene supply has some disturbances, but it does not reverse the situation. The supply - demand difference in November is negative, and the port inventory pressure is still large [14]. - **PVC**: The market sentiment has cooled down, and it fluctuates weakly. The macro - level disturbances have subsided in November, and the PVC fundamentals are under pressure. The cost is stable, the production will increase after the end of the upstream maintenance, and the export is weak [28]. - **Caustic Soda**: It has a low valuation and weak expectations, and it fluctuates. The macro - level disturbances have subsided in November, and the fundamentals are improving, but the driving force may be limited. Attention should be paid to the cost support [29]. - **Plastic**: The short - term maintenance has decreased, and it is in a weak pattern. The oil price fluctuates, the plastic's own fundamental support is limited, the upper - and middle - stream still have the intention to reduce inventory at high prices, and the short - term maintenance has decreased, increasing the production pressure [25]. - **PP**: The fundamental support is limited, and it weakens. The oil price fluctuates, the PP's own fundamental support is limited, the current maintenance has decreased, the production has increased year - on - year, and the middle - stream inventory is at a high level in the same period of the past five years [26]. - **Propylene (PL)**: The downstream transaction improvement is limited, and it fluctuates. The CP prices of propane and butane announced by Saudi Aramco in November have decreased. The downstream demand is differentiated, suppressing the enterprise's shipment rhythm [27]. 3.2 Variety Data Monitoring - **Inter - period Spread**: The inter - period spreads of various varieties such as Brent, Dubai, PX, PTA, etc. show different changes. For example, the M1 - M2 spread of Brent is 0.4 with a change of 0.03, and the 1 - 5 month spread of PX is - 8 with a change of 8 [31]. - **Basis and Warehouse Receipts**: The basis and warehouse receipts of different varieties are presented. For example, the basis of asphalt is - 26 with a change of - 3, and the warehouse receipt is 7690 [32]. - **Inter - variety Spread**: The inter - variety spreads such as 1 - month PP - 3MA, 1 - month TA - EG, etc. have different values and changes. For example, the 1 - month PP - 3MA spread is 68 with a change of - 147 [33].

Report Summary 1) Report Industry Investment Rating - The report does not provide an industry investment rating. 2) Core View of the Report - The asphalt market is in a weak state with a lack of positive factors. The crude oil price has turned into a weak oscillation, resulting in insufficient cost - side support. The release of low - price forward resources from northern refineries has led to a pessimistic outlook for future asphalt demand, putting pressure on the spot market sentiment. The trading strategy suggests a cautious and bearish stance, with short - term waiting and seeing as the main approach [1][2]. 3) Summary by Related Catalogs Market Analysis - On November 5th, the closing price of the main asphalt futures contract BU2601 in the afternoon session was 3166 yuan/ton, down 50 yuan/ton or 1.55% from the previous day's settlement price. The position was 203,527 lots, a decrease of 3,433 lots compared to the previous period, and the trading volume was 178,534 lots, an increase of 4,477 lots [1]. - The spot settlement prices of heavy - traffic asphalt from Zhuochuang Information are as follows: Northeast 3306 - 3750 yuan/ton, Shandong 3100 - 3620 yuan/ton, South China 3330 - 3520 yuan/ton, and East China 3410 - 3500 yuan/ton. The spot prices in the Northeast, North China, Shandong, and South China regions have declined, while those in other regions are relatively stable [1]. Strategy - Unilateral: Cautiously bearish, mainly wait and see in the short term. There are no strategies for inter - period, inter - variety, spot - futures, and options [2]. Figures - The report includes figures related to asphalt spot prices in different regions (Shandong, East China, South China, North China, Southwest, Northwest), asphalt futures prices (index, main contract, near - month contract, near - month spread), trading volume and open interest of asphalt futures (unilateral, main contract), domestic asphalt weekly production, asphalt production of independent refineries and in different regions (Shandong, East China, South China, North China), domestic asphalt consumption in different fields (road, waterproofing, coking, ship fuel), and asphalt inventories (refinery, social) [3]
