Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - China's "anti-involution" policies since July 2025 aim to address cut - throat competition, guide industrial upgrading, and promote high - quality development, impacting multiple futures market sectors [2]. - The "anti-involution" policy in the refining and chemical industry will have a structural and gradual impact on crude oil supply and demand, accelerating the clearance of inefficient capacity in the short term and promoting high - quality development and product structure optimization in the long term [10]. Summary by Related Catalogs Impact on Different Market Sectors - **New Energy Sector**: The policy significantly boosted the new energy sector, with polysilicon futures leading the rally, rising 64.42% from July 1 to September 1, and lithium carbonate showing a rise of 20.93% during the same period [3]. - **Black - Series Varieties**: The impact on black - series varieties was differentiated. Coking coal rose 30.51%, coke 11.70%, and rebar only 3.28% from July 1 to September 1 [3]. - **Chemical Industry**: The "anti - involution" policy in the chemical industry is deepening from system construction to special rectification. Glass rose 6.76%, while PVC was almost flat [4]. Current Situation of the Refining and Chemical Industry - The refining and chemical industry faces severe over - capacity, with a capacity utilization rate of less than 80% and an over - capacity of about 60 million tons. The industry's operating income profit margin has been declining [5]. - Refinery operating rates are low, indicating weak demand. In March 2025, the overall capacity utilization rate was only 70.3%, and Shandong's local refinery operating rate hit a 23 - month low in July [6]. - China's crude oil processing volume is on a downward trend, with different scenarios forecasted by Zhuochuang Information in 2025 [6]. Content of the Upcoming Reform Plan - The plan includes shutting down small refineries with an annual capacity of less than 2 million tons, which could potentially reduce crude oil processing demand by about 30 million tons/year (about 603,000 barrels/day) [5]. - It aims to upgrade about 40% of petrochemical facilities that have been in use for over 20 years through multi - dimensional evaluations [7]. - It encourages the industry to shift from producing bulk chemicals to special fine chemicals for high - tech fields [7]. Long - term Impact on the Refining and Chemical Industry - The policy will drive the industry towards large - scale, integration, and high - end transformation, increasing the proportion of high - value - added chemical products and changing the quality and structure of crude oil demand [7]. - The "oil - reduction and chemical - increase" trend may lead to a shortage of naphtha supply, driving the popularity of alternative raw materials and increasing import dependence on high - value - added chemicals [8]. Impact on the Global Crude Oil Market - China's adjustment of refining policies may slow down or even decrease its crude oil import growth rate, leading to an adjustment in international crude oil trade flows [9]. - The policy may reduce the demand for high - sulfur heavy crude oil and benefit the low - sulfur light crude oil market [9]. - Although China's potential demand reduction will intensify the global supply - demand surplus, the final trend of global oil prices depends on OPEC+ policies, the global macro - economy, and geopolitical events [9].
