1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The industry investment rating for caustic soda is "oscillating" [3] 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The current caustic soda market shows a situation where spot prices are declining and the futures market is oscillating weakly. The supply side has seen an increase in production due to reduced maintenance, while the demand side has a decline in alumina production and weak non - aluminum demand. Inventory has been accumulating, and profits are under pressure, resulting in an overall market with no clear short - term driving force, expected to be mainly oscillating [3] 3. Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Main Views and Strategy Overview - **Supply**: This week, maintenance decreased, and production increased. The weekly domestic caustic soda production rose by 0.8 tons to 84 tons. The average utilization rate of the production capacity of sample enterprises with a caustic soda capacity of 200,000 tons and above was 85.0%, a week - on - week increase of 0.4%. Loads in North China, Central China, and East China all increased [3] - **Demand**: Alumina production decreased, and non - aluminum demand was weak. The capacity utilization rate of the viscose staple fiber industry was 91.29%, a week - on - week increase of 1.20%. The comprehensive operating rate in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions was 65.53%, a week - on - week decrease of 1.02% [3] - **Inventory**: Recently, downstream demand was weak, and the enthusiasm for receiving goods was poor, leading to an accumulation of caustic soda inventory. Factory inventory was 469,800 tons (wet tons), a week - on - week increase of 9.89% and a year - on - year increase of 87.95%. The storage capacity ratio of national liquid caustic soda sample enterprises was 29.10%, a week - on - week increase of 2.01% [3] - **Basis**: The basis of the current main contract was around 57, and the futures price was at a discount [3] - **Profit**: The weekly average profit of chlor - alkali enterprises in Shandong was 62 yuan/ton, a week - on - week decrease of 70%. The price of liquid chlorine was stable, while the price of caustic soda decreased, resulting in a decline in overall chlor - alkali profits [3] - **Valuation**: The spot price was neutral, and the absolute futures price was low. The near - month contract was near par [3] - **Macroeconomic Policy**: The anti - involution sentiment in the energy and chemical sector subsided, and the futures market traded based on fundamentals [3] - **Investment View**: In the short term, there was no clear driving force for the futures market, which was expected to mainly oscillate [3] - **Trading Strategy**: There were no unilateral or arbitrage trading strategies recommended for the time being [3] 3.2 Review of Futures and Spot Market Conditions - **Futures Market**: The Shandong spot market was weak this week, and the bottom support of the futures market was weak. In the short term, with less future maintenance and the impact of new production capacity, supply pressure increased. Alumina production continued to decline, and the procurement rhythm of caustic soda slowed down, leading to an increase in factory inventory pressure. Spot prices were expected to decline in an oscillating manner [6] - **Position**: The total open interest increased, and the far - month contracts saw an increase in positions [24] 3.3 Fundamental Supply and Demand Data of Caustic Soda - **Electricity Price**: Coal supply was tight, leading to an increase in electricity prices [32] - **Device Loss and Production**: The loss of devices decreased, and production in North China increased due to reduced maintenance [35][37] - **Chlor - Alkali Profit**: The comprehensive profit of chlor - alkali decreased [38] - **Downstream Price**: The price of alumina declined, and non - aluminum prices were weak [41] - **Alumina**: The production of alumina recovered, but inventory accumulated. The supply - demand balance of alumina improved, port bauxite inventory decreased, and alumina profits were good and stable year - on - year [53][64] - **Non - Aluminum Demand**: Non - aluminum production remained stable but was lower than the same period last year. Non - aluminum demand entered the seasonal off - season, and production began to decline [65][66] - **Liquid Chlorine Downstream**: The production rate of the liquid chlorine downstream industry rebounded [73] - **Subsequent Maintenance Information**: Multiple enterprises in East China, Central China, and Southwest China had maintenance plans from November 2025 to January 2026 [77]

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - In 2026, the caustic soda market is expected to show a pattern of synchronous growth in supply and demand, but there will be a phased mismatch in rhythm and structure. The PVC market will face the triple characteristics of "high supply, pressured demand, and improved exports". The caustic soda market is expected to be volatile with a wide range, and the PVC market is expected to be volatile with a narrow range and the price center may move up [2][9]. - For caustic soda, the supply - side new capacity will continue to be released, and the demand - side main downstream alumina industry has a complex situation of "new investment and production cut expectations coexisting". For PVC, although the new capacity release slows down, the existing capacity output is still at a high level, and the industry is generally under pressure in a low - profit environment [9]. Summary According to the Table of Contents Annual Trend Review - In 2025, the PVC market fluctuated downward in the first half of the year and first rose then fell in the second half. The price was affected by factors such as social inventory, policy expectations, and overseas macro - uncertainties. The caustic soda market showed the characteristics of "falling from a high level and fluctuating in a range", and its price was driven by factors such as alumina demand, non - aluminum industry procurement rhythm, and chlor - alkali comprehensive cost [17][18]. Chlor - alkali New Capacity Situation - In 2025, the planned new capacity of the domestic PVC industry was 220 tons, and all were fulfilled by September, with a capacity growth rate of about 8%. In 2026, there is no clear new capacity plan. The new capacity of the domestic caustic soda industry in 2025 was significantly lower than expected, with only 90 tons added, and the planned new capacity in 2026 is about 256 tons, with an expected capacity growth rate of 5% [23][27]. Chlor - alkali Supply and Production Profit - **PVC**: As of October 2025, the cumulative PVC output was 2013 tons, a year - on - year increase of 3.34%. The production profit was in a deep - loss range for most of the time, and the industry supply pressure continued to exist [35]. - **Caustic Soda**: As of October 2025, the cumulative caustic soda output was 3514 tons, a year - on - year increase of 2.48%. The production profit was generally profitable, but it declined in November [48]. PVC and Caustic Soda Basis Trend and Future Judgment - **PVC**: In 2025, the PVC market maintained a negative basis structure. In the future, the negative basis structure will still be the norm, but the level may narrow slightly. - **Caustic Soda**: In 2025, the caustic soda basis fluctuated sharply. In 2026, the negative basis may appear more frequently, and the overall basis center level may face downward pressure [60][61]. Chlor - alkali Import and Export Analysis - **PVC**: From January to October 2025, the domestic PVC export volume was 323 tons, a year - on - year increase of 48.85%. The export to India is expected to be further boosted, and the export to other regions is also increasing. PVC products export showed a pattern of mixed performance in 2025 [67][85]. - **Caustic Soda**: From January to October 2025, the domestic caustic soda cumulative export volume was 349 tons, a year - on - year increase of 42%. Indonesia and Australia are the main export destinations [90]. Chlor - alkali Demand Status and Outlook - **PVC**: In 2025, the PVC market showed a pattern of "increased supply, high - growth exports, and weak domestic demand". In 2026, the demand will still be dragged down by the real - estate market and maintain a weak and stable state [103]. - **Caustic Soda**: The demand for caustic soda is mainly concentrated in industries such as alumina, viscose staple fiber, printing and dyeing, and papermaking. In 2026, the new alumina capacity may bring new demand for caustic soda, but there are uncertainties [121][122]. Chlor - alkali Inventory Status and Outlook - In 2025, the PVC social inventory showed a pattern of year - on - year accumulation. In 2026, the PVC supply - demand fundamentals are expected to remain loose, and the marginal change in export demand will be the key variable affecting the social inventory destocking rhythm [142][145].

Some products are affected by supply - demand relationships, cost factors, and external market conditions, presenting different price trends such as consolidation, upward or downward movement [2][3][5] - Different chemical products have different medium - and short - term outlooks. Some products are expected to be strong in the medium term, while others have limited medium - term rebound space or are in a state of range - bound consolidation [3][5] Summary by Directory Olefins - Polyolefins - Propylene futures are weakly consolidating around the 5 - day moving average. Tight supply in Shandong has pushed up prices, but downstream cost pressure may limit the upside [2] - Plastic and polypropylene futures are in a bearish pattern. Stable domestic supply and weakening demand have led to poor market trading [2] Pure Benzene - Styrene - Pure benzene prices are volatile. Although there are factors such as potential supply improvement and rising prices, high arrival expectations and weakening demand may lead to range - bound consolidation [3] - Styrene futures are consolidating at a low level.

With potential improvement in exports and cost support, it may follow cost changes [7] - Caustic soda is also volatile. High production and weak demand lead to a weak market, and attention should be paid to profit changes [7] Soda Ash - Glass - Soda ash is in a volatile trend. Although there is destocking, the long - term supply may exceed demand. Attention should be paid to the strategy of going long on glass and short on soda ash [8] - Glass prices are expected to be volatile and strong, with potential production line cold repairs and cost support [8]

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2. Core Viewpoints - Due to ample spot supply and average downstream demand, liquid caustic soda factory inventories accumulated last week, resulting in high pressure. The slight increase in raw salt prices and the decline in caustic soda and liquid chlorine prices in Shandong led to a decrease in the profits of Shandong chlor - alkali enterprises. [2] - This week, the restart of several plants is expected to increase the caustic soda capacity utilization rate. Short - term alumina enterprises show no signs of large - scale production cuts, and their operation is expected to remain stable. Non - aluminum downstream may maintain rigid procurement. The new alumina production capacity in Guangxi is in the procurement stage, but the positive impact is limited under the background of high caustic soda production and inventory in China. The market is bearish on the future chlor - alkali profits, and the basis of the 01 contract remains high. [2] - In terms of valuation, plants above 2200 still have profit margins. Attention should be paid to the support around 2200 and the pressure around 2300. [2][3] 3.

Report Industry Investment Ratings No information provided regarding industry investment ratings in the reports. Core Views Methanol - Short - term outlook is oscillating and slightly bullish. Inner - land marginal devices are in the red, and attention should be paid to their operation. Iranian devices are starting to limit gas and stop production, but the current shipment volume is still high [1][2]. Polyolefin - PP shows a pattern of both supply and demand increasing, with reduced maintenance driving supply recovery and slight inventory depletion. PE shows supply increasing and demand decreasing, with inventory slightly accumulating under the pressure of new production capacity. The 01 contract is under relatively high pressure [6]. Natural Rubber - The market is expected to enter a range - bound consolidation. The inventory is in a seasonal accumulation cycle, and terminal demand support is insufficient. The price trend depends on the raw material output in the main production areas and macro - level changes [7]. Crude Oil - Oil prices are expected to continue to oscillate weakly. Affected by news, the geopolitical premium is declining, and the supply - demand pattern is weak. Short - term attention should be paid to the support level of Brent at $60 per barrel and the results of the Russia - Ukraine negotiations [9]. Polyester Industry Chain - PX: Short - term drive is limited, but the medium - term supply - demand is expected to be tight, and it is expected to be in a high - level oscillation in the short term. - PTA: The supply - demand is expected to be tight in November - December, but loose from December to the first quarter. The absolute price is relatively firm in the short term, but the rebound space is limited. - Ethylene Glycol: Expected to oscillate at a low level. - Short - fiber: The absolute price drive is limited, and the processing fee is expected to be compressed. - Bottle chips: The supply - demand is in a loose pattern, and the processing fee is expected to decline [11]. Benzene - Styrene - Pure benzene: Supply is generally loose, demand support is limited, and the price may be adjusted due to the drag of oil prices in the short term. - Styrene: Although the short - term supply - demand is expected to improve, the overall drive is limited, and the 01 contract should be treated with oscillation [13]. Glass and Soda Ash - Soda Ash: The overall supply - demand pattern is bearish. Although there is short - term inventory depletion, the medium - term demand is expected to remain rigid. - Glass: There is short - term rigid demand support, but there are concerns about the long - term demand, and the price may be under pressure [14]. PVC and Caustic Soda - Caustic Soda: The supply - demand is under pressure, and the price is expected to be weak. - PVC: The supply - demand is in an oversupply pattern, and the price is difficult to be optimistic, continuing the weak trend [15].
