Report Industry Investment Ratings No relevant content provided. Core Views Polyolefin Industry - Supply: PP supply recovery slowed due to more unplanned maintenance, while PE supply is expected to increase as maintenance nears its peak. Overseas inventory clearance at the end of the year may impact the market [2]. - Demand: Demand has improved with increased downstream开工率, but the peak season for agricultural film is approaching, and demand is expected to decline [2]. - Strategy: The 01 contract faces inventory pressure, while the 05 contract may present long - term low - buying opportunities. A reverse spread strategy for the monthly spread is recommended [2]. Methanol Industry - Supply: The port methanol market is under pressure due to high inventory, postponed Iranian gas restrictions, and increased imports. The restart of domestic devices and overseas device shutdowns also affect the supply [5][6]. - Demand: Multiple MTO units reduced their loads due to profit issues, and subsequent maintenance is expected to increase [6]. - Strategy: The 01 contract will continue to trade the "weak reality" logic until Iranian gas restrictions take effect [6]. Polyester Industry Chain - PX: Supply is stable despite some plant maintenance, and demand has support in the short term. However, the November supply - demand is expected to be loose, and oil price support is limited. Strategies include reducing long positions above 6600 and short - selling on rallies, and narrowing the PX - SC spread [9]. - PTA: There are many planned maintenance in November, and demand is relatively high. But supply - demand is slightly loose, and oil price support is weak. Strategies include reducing long positions above 4600, short - selling on rallies, and a rolling reverse spread for TA1 - 5 [9]. - Ethylene Glycol: Overseas supply is high in November, and inventory accumulation is expected. Strategies include selling out - of - the - money call options on rallies and a reverse spread for EG1 - 5 [9]. - Short - fiber: Supply is high in the short term, but demand may decline seasonally. Cost support is limited. Strategies are similar to PTA, and narrowing the processing margin on rallies [9]. - Bottle - chip: Supply changes little, and demand is weak in the off - season. The market is in a loose supply - demand pattern, and the price follows the cost. Strategies are similar to PTA, and the processing margin is expected to fluctuate between 300 - 450 yuan/ton [9]. Pure Benzene - Styrene Industry - Pure Benzene: Supply is expected to be loose with many device restarts and new capacity. Demand support is limited as downstream products are mostly in losses. Inventory in East China ports is increasing. Strategies include short - selling on rallies following oil price movements [10]. - Styrene: Supply may slightly decrease, and demand is expected to remain stable. Cost support is weakening. The market is currently in a loose supply - demand situation, and the price drive is limited. Strategies include short - selling on price rebounds for the EB12 contract [10]. PVC - Caustic Soda Industry - Caustic Soda: Supply is expected to increase in November with few maintenance enterprises. Demand support is weak as the alumina price is falling and downstream enterprises are consuming their own inventories. The price is expected to be weakly stable, and the overall trend is bearish [11]. - PVC: The supply - demand surplus situation persists. Demand from real estate and other downstream industries is weak, and new capacity will increase supply in November - December. The price is expected to continue to oscillate weakly at the bottom, and a short - selling strategy on rebounds is recommended [11]. Summary by Directory Polyolefin Industry - **Prices and Spreads**: L2601, L2509, PP2601, and PP2509 futures prices decreased on November 4 compared to November 3.

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The trend strength of caustic soda is -1, indicating a weak bearish view [4]. 2. Core View of the Report - The caustic soda market is under pressure in the short - term after a valuation repair, and in the long - term, the negative feedback in the industrial chain may occur due to alumina production cuts. The situation can only be changed by supply - side production cuts [3]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Fundamental Tracking - On November 5, 2025, the 01 - contract futures price of caustic soda was 2336, the cheapest deliverable 32% caustic soda spot price in Shandong was 780, the Shandong spot 32% caustic soda converted to the futures price was 2438, and the basis was 102 [2]. - On November 5, in Shandong, individual enterprises in southwestern and southern Shandong lowered their prices. Due to increased supply in the west, high - price products had poor sales, so they were sold at reduced prices [2]. Market Condition Analysis - The sharp decline in liquid chlorine prices over the weekend increased the cost of caustic soda significantly. However, caustic soda enterprises did not cut production, resulting in insufficient upward drivers [3]. - The pattern of high production and high inventory of caustic soda continues, and the market is continuously shorting the chlor - alkali profit. The impact of alumina's production - start and production - cut expectations on caustic soda basically offsets each other. The winter is a low - maintenance season for chlor - alkali enterprises, and the supply - demand gap caused by stockpiling may be limited. Non - aluminum downstream support is limited, and exports are under pressure, increasing domestic supply pressure [3]. - In the long run, alumina production cuts will lead to negative feedback in the industrial chain, and only supply - side production cuts can change the situation. So, pay attention to the supply changes under the background of liquid chlorine and low profits [3].

氯碱周报:SH:下游压力传导压制烧碱价格,供应端增量价格缺乏支撑,V:11月供需过剩格局持续,价格难言乐观-20251103
Guang Fa Qi Huo· 2025-11-03 10:14
Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. Core Viewpoints - In November, the caustic soda industry still faces certain supply - demand pressures. With fewer maintenance enterprises, the supply is expected to increase. The price is weakly stable, and the overall trend is bearish. For PVC, from November to December, the supply pressure will continue due to new production capacity, and the demand is in the off - season. The price is expected to continue the bottom - oscillating pattern [2][3]. - Futures trading for both caustic soda and PVC should adopt a bearish approach, and options trading should be on the sidelines [4][5]. Summary by Related Catalogs Caustic Soda - **Price and Market Situation**: The price of caustic soda futures has fluctuated due to various factors such as macro - environment, supply - demand changes, and cost shifts. The spot price has also been affected by factors like downstream demand and inventory. In November, the price is expected to be weakly stable [2][8]. - **Supply**: In October, the industry's operation was at a high - level with fluctuations, and the inventory of caustic soda plants first decreased and then increased. The national average weekly weighted operating load rate was 85.55%, a 0.1 - percentage - point increase from the previous week. The caustic soda production in terms of 100% purity was 82.53 tons, a 0.12% increase from the previous week [21][27]. - **Demand**: The main downstream, alumina, has a weakening demand for caustic soda. From the end of 2024 to 2025, the planned new alumina production capacity is 1230 tons, which is expected to increase the demand for caustic soda by about 80 tons per year [32]. - **Export**: In September, the export profit of caustic soda increased, and the export volume rebounded significantly. In October, the estimated export profit declined [56]. Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) - **Price and Market Situation**: In October, the PVC spot price decline accelerated. The core contradiction is that the supply - demand situation has not been substantially improved. The futures price has also been affected by factors such as supply - demand, macro - environment, and cost [63][64]. - **Supply**: In October, there were 20 PVC maintenance enterprises, 3 fewer than in September. The utilization rate of calcium - carbide - based PVC production capacity was 78.10%, a 0.49 - percentage - point decrease from September. The utilization rate of ethylene - based PVC production capacity was 81.48%, a 2.46 - percentage - point increase from September [79][85]. - **Demand**: The two major downstream industries of PVC, profiles and pipes, face great pressure. The real - estate sector continues to have a negative impact on demand. The downstream orders are significantly lower than the average of the past five years, and the raw material and finished - product inventories are at high levels [94]. - **Inventory**: The PVC inventory has been continuously increasing, and the total inventory is at the highest level in recent years compared year - on - year [102]. - **Export**: In September 2025, the PVC import volume was 1.44 tons, with a single - month import increase of 16.08% month - on - month and 7.73% year - on - year. The export volume was 34.64 tons, with a single - month export increase of 21.945% month - on - month and 24.53% year - on - year [120].
现货价格稳中有降,盘面震荡偏弱
Guo Mao Qi Huo· 2025-11-03 06:57
Report Industry Investment Rating - The investment view is "oscillating", indicating that the short - term market has no obvious driving force, and the price is expected to mainly fluctuate [3]. Core View of the Report - The spot price of caustic soda is stable with a slight decline, and the futures market is oscillating weakly. The supply has increased due to reduced maintenance and higher production. The demand is mixed, with alumina开工 declining and non - aluminum demand weak in some aspects, while other downstream industries show some improvements. Inventory has accumulated, and profits have decreased. The overall market is expected to be in a state of oscillation [3][6]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Part One: Main Views and Strategy Overview - **Supply**: It is neutral. This week, maintenance decreased, and production increased. The weekly domestic caustic soda production rose by 24,000 tons to 830,000 tons. The average capacity utilization rate of sample enterprises with 200,000 tons or more of caustic soda was 84.3%, a week - on - week increase of 3.5%. Most regions saw an increase in load, except for Central China [3]. - **Demand**: It is neutral. Alumina开工 decreased, and non - aluminum demand was weak. The capacity utilization rate of the viscose staple fiber industry was 89.64%, a week - on - week increase of 1.03%. The comprehensive startup rate in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions was 68.32%, a week - on - week increase of 1.01%. The monthly开工 rate of lithium hydroxide in China in June 2025 was about 49.27%, and the overall output was basically flat after offsetting increases and decreases [3]. - **Inventory**: It is bearish. Recently, the shipment pressure increased, and caustic soda inventory accumulated. The factory inventory of fixed liquid caustic soda sample enterprises with 200,000 tons or more was 442,600 tons (wet tons), a week - on - week increase of 6.84% and a year - on - year increase of 52.42%. The national liquid caustic soda sample enterprise storage capacity ratio was 25.75%, a week - on - week increase of 1.56% [3]. - **Basis**: It is neutral. The current basis of the main contract is around 95, and the futures price is at a discount [3]. - **Profit**: It is bearish. The weekly average gross profit of chlor - alkali enterprises in Shandong was 292 yuan/ton, a week - on - week decrease of 17%. Liquid chlorine prices rose, and caustic soda prices fell, leading to a decline in overall chlor - alkali profits [3]. - **Valuation**: It is bearish. The spot price is neutral, and the absolute futures price is low. The near - month contract is at a discount [3]. - **Macro Policy**: It is neutral. The anti - involution sentiment in the energy and chemical sector has subsided, and the futures market trades based on fundamentals [3]. - **Investment View**: The short - term futures market has no obvious driving force, and it is expected to mainly oscillate [3]. - **Trading Strategy**: There are no unilateral or arbitrage strategies at present. Attention should be paid to changes in liquid chlorine prices, rotation storage policies, and the global economic recession [3]. Part Two: Futures and Spot Market Review - The futures market oscillated within a range. This week, the spot price in Shandong was stable with a slight increase, while the futures price hit a new low. The liquid chlorine subsidy was less, and the liquid chlorine price rose to 350 yuan/ton. Chlor - alkali profits remained high, and factory开工 loads remained high. Demand reached the turning point between peak and off - peak seasons. In the future, the new maintenance intensity of alumina will increase, and the supply and demand of caustic soda will turn to be loose. The spot price is expected to be stable with a slight decline. Future attention should be paid to changes in liquid chlorine and the alumina production start - up rhythm [6]. Part Three: Caustic Soda Supply and Demand Fundamental Data - **Electricity Price**: Coal supply was tight, and electricity prices rose [29]. - **Device Loss and Production**: In the main production areas, maintenance in North China decreased, and production increased [34]. - **Chlor - Alkali Profit**: Chlor - alkali comprehensive profits decreased [42]. - **Downstream Price**: Alumina prices declined, and non - aluminum prices were weak [45]. - **Alumina**: Alumina开工 recovered, and inventory accumulated. Due to the end of maintenance and the commissioning of new devices, the alumina开工 rate in Henan increased significantly. Alumina supply - demand balance was restored, inventory accumulated, port bauxite inventory decreased, and alumina profits were good and remained stable year - on - year [57][68]. - **Non - Aluminum Demand**: Non - aluminum开工 remained stable but was lower than the same period last year. Non - aluminum demand entered the seasonal off - peak season, and开工 began to decline [69]. - **Liquid Chlorine Downstream**: The开工 rate rebounded [78]. - **Subsequent Maintenance Information**: Multiple enterprises in different regions have planned or are expected to carry out maintenance in October and November [82].
