Report Industry Investment Rating - High-sulfur fuel oil: Neutral, with a short-term focus on observation [2] - Low-sulfur fuel oil: Neutral, with a short-term focus on observation [2] - Cross-variety: None [2] - Cross-period: None [2] - Spot-futures: None [2] - Options: None [2] Core Viewpoints - The market structure of high-sulfur fuel oil has slightly weakened, and the market structure of low-sulfur fuel oil has been weak recently. The strength pattern of high and low sulfur has changed marginally, and the high-low sulfur spread has rebounded slightly from a low level [1] - After the continuous rebound of crude oil prices, resistance has emerged again, and the FU and LU disk prices have followed suit. Currently, there are still macro uncertainties, so caution is advised [1] - If there are no major problems with Russian supply, there is no shortage expectation in the high-sulfur fuel oil market, and the upward valuation space is limited [1] - With the restart of the RFCC unit of the Dangote refinery, the local supply pressure of low-sulfur fuel oil is expected to ease marginally [1] Market Analysis Summary - The main contract of the Shanghai Futures Exchange fuel oil futures closed down 1.2% at 2,796 yuan/ton, and the main contract of the INE low-sulfur fuel oil futures closed down 0.55% at 3,246 yuan/ton [1] - The fundamentals of fuel oil recently show a pattern of "high-sulfur stronger than low-sulfur", but the market structure of high-sulfur fuel oil has shown signs of slight weakness. While the unilateral price has followed the decline of crude oil, the outer market month spread and crack spread have also declined [1] - The fundamentals and market structure of low-sulfur fuel oil have been weak recently [1]

The PX profit was expected to fluctuate stably in the short term [2] - **PTA**: The industry meeting continued to boost market sentiment. The TA2601 contract closed at 4,636 yuan per ton. Traders awaited PTA meeting news. Crude oil failed to recover losses. PTA prices fluctuated narrowly. Under the expectation of production cuts, the spot basis strengthened slightly. The new PTA device in East China started trial production. The anti - involution expectation offset the impact of new capacity. It might be difficult to coordinate new production - cut plans. The increase in the terminal loom operating rate and good polyester filament sales were positive for the market [2] - **PR**: The mainstream negotiation price of polyester bottle - chips in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang market was 5,710 - 5,830 yuan per ton, down 10 yuan per ton. The PTA and bottle - chip futures fluctuated, with a weak market atmosphere and low downstream purchasing willingness. The PR2601 contract closed at 5,726 yuan per ton. The bottle - chip market supply was relatively abundant, and downstream demand was weak [2]

Summaries by Variety Crude Oil - **Market Review**: Overnight international oil prices rebounded slightly, with WTI up 0.55%, Brent up 0.77%, and SC down 1.54% [8]. - **Basic Logic**: Sanctions on Russia and macro - positive factors support the oil price, but the core driver is the supply surplus in the off - season, and the oil price center is expected to decline [9]. - **Fundamentals**: OPEC+ may increase production in December, Indian oil imports increased in September, and US commercial crude inventories decreased last week [10]. - **Strategy**: Hold previous short positions and consider adding short positions lightly.

LPG - **Market Review**: On October 29, the PG main contract closed at 4,287 yuan/ton, up 0.61% [13]. - **Basic Logic**: The price is anchored to the cost - end oil price.

Focus on the V range of [4600 - 4800] [28]. PX - **Market Review**: The PX futures price showed an upward trend [29]. - **Basic Logic**: Supply - side devices have reduced their loads, demand has improved recently but is expected to weaken, and the cost - end oil price rebound is limited [30]. - **Strategy**: Try long positions lightly in the short term, pay attention to short - selling opportunities at high prices, and focus on expanding downstream processing fees.

Focus on the TA range of [4610 - 4680] [34]. Ethylene Glycol - **Market Review**: The ethylene glycol futures price showed a decline [35]. - **Basic Logic**: Domestic devices have reduced their loads, overseas devices have increased their loads slightly, supply pressure is expected to increase, and there is an inventory accumulation expectation in November. The valuation is low but lacks upward drivers [36]. - **Strategy**: Participate in short - term long positions lightly and pay attention to short - selling opportunities during rebounds. Focus on the EG range of [4060 - 4140] [37]. Methanol - **Market Review**: High inventory suppresses the spot price [40]. - **Basic Logic**: Supply - side pressure is still high, demand has improved slightly, and cost support is weak and stable. Pay attention to the impact of Iranian "gas restrictions" [40]. - **Strategy**: Hold short positions cautiously, focus on going long on the 01 contract at low prices, and focus on MA1 - 5 reverse spreads. Focus on the MA range of [2235 - 2285] [42]. Urea - **Market Review**: The urea futures price showed a slight increase [43]. - **Basic Logic**: Supply is relatively loose, demand has improved slightly, inventory is accumulating, and cost support exists.

Group 1: General Information - Report Name: Asphalt Daily Report [1] - Date: October 30, 2025 [2] Group 2: Market Review and Operation Suggestions - Futures Market: BU2601 opened at 3265 yuan/ton, closed at 3274 yuan/ton, with a high of 3283 yuan/ton, a low of 3252 yuan/ton, a decline of 0.21%, and a trading volume of 173,800 lots; BU2512 opened at 3274 yuan/ton, closed at 3291 yuan/ton, with a high of 3300 yuan/ton, a low of 3270 yuan/ton, a flat change, and a trading volume of 26,400 lots [6] - Spot Market: Asphalt spot prices in North China and Shandong declined, while those in other regions remained stable. The decline in crude oil and asphalt futures prices dampened market sentiment, and ample local refinery resources in Shandong pressured prices [6] - Supply and Demand: Overall refinery operating rate is expected to remain flat. Demand is seasonally weakening, with rigid demand shrinking in the Northeast and Northwest, limited demand growth in North China and Shandong, and slow resource consumption in the South. Insufficient funds are restricting project progress [7] - Operation Suggestion: Consider going long on BU and short on SC due to the relatively stronger supply - demand situation of asphalt compared to crude oil [7] Group 3: Industry News - Shandong Market: The mainstream transaction price of 70A grade asphalt was 3200 - 3620 yuan/ton, down 5 yuan/ton from the previous trading day. The market sentiment was bearish, and ample resources led to price declines [8] - South China Market: The mainstream transaction price of 70A grade asphalt was 3360 - 3580 yuan/ton, remaining stable. Sinopec's planned production cut in November and other refineries' price hikes boosted the market, but unsold resources limited price increases [8] Group 4: Data Overview - The report provides multiple data charts including asphalt cracking spread, social inventory, daily operating rate, Shandong comprehensive profit, etc., with data sources from wind and the research and development department of Jianxin Futures [11][13][15]
