1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the content. 2. Core Views of the Report - For crude oil, although the geopolitical premium has dissipated and OPEC's production increase is minimal with supply not yet expanding, short - term oil prices should not be overly bearish. A range - trading strategy of buying low and selling high is maintained, but the current oil prices need to test OPEC's export price - support willingness, and short - term wait - and - see is recommended [3]. - For methanol, high port inventories suppress prices. Overseas开工 remains high, arrivals are at a high level, and port inventories are rising. Coal prices are strong, squeezing enterprise profits and causing a slight decline in enterprise开工. Demand is weak overall, and there is a risk of price decline, so it is recommended to wait and see [6]. - For urea, the market is sensitive to bullish news. Domestic demand lacks support, and supply is high. New export policies improve the market atmosphere, and inventories are being depleted at a high level. The downside space is relatively limited, and it is expected to bottom out through oscillations [9]. - For rubber, a neutral approach is adopted, and short - term trading with quick entry and exit is recommended. A partial position can be established for the hedging strategy of buying RU2601 and selling RU2609 [13]. - For PVC, the enterprise's comprehensive profit is at a low level, but supply is high, and new devices are about to be put into operation. Demand is under pressure, and export prospects are poor. There is a risk of inventory accumulation, and short - term valuation is low. A short - selling strategy on rallies can be considered in the medium term [15]. - For pure benzene and styrene, the BZN spread has room for upward repair. Port inventories are being depleted, and styrene prices may stop falling in the short term [18]. - For polyethylene, OPEC +'s plan to suspend production growth may lead to a bottoming of crude oil prices. Polyethylene's valuation has limited downward space, but high - level warehouse receipts suppress the market. Supply is limited, and demand is picking up seasonally. Prices are expected to oscillate at a low level [21]. - For polypropylene, the cost side sees a potential increase in global oil inventories, and supply pressure is high. Demand is picking up slightly, and overall inventories are high. There is no prominent short - term contradiction, and prices may be supported in Q1 2026 [24]. - For PX, it is expected to see a slight inventory build - up in November, but there is support from aromatics blending into gasoline and the long - term supply - demand structure. Pay attention to the opportunity of mid - term valuation increase [27]. - For PTA, supply is expected to increase with new device launches, and inventories are expected to accumulate in November. Demand is expected to remain high but has limited room for improvement.

Report Industry Investment Rating There is no information provided in the text regarding the report industry investment rating. Core Viewpoints of the Report - For crude oil, although the geopolitical premium has completely dissipated and OPEC's production increase is minimal with supply not yet surging, short - term excessive bearishness on oil prices is not advisable.

The high - inventory issue on the 01 contract will increasingly suppress spot prices. With no substantial short - term positive news from overseas supply, there may be further declines. However, the cost - effectiveness of short - selling after the sharp decline is low, and there is no clear driving force for long - positions, so waiting is advised [6]. - For urea, prices are consolidating at a low level with low volatility.

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant information provided Group 2: Core Views of the Report - For crude oil, although the geopolitical premium has disappeared and OPEC's production increase is minimal, supply has not yet increased significantly, so short - term bearish sentiment on oil prices should be cautious. Maintain a range - trading strategy of buying low and selling high, but currently wait and see to test OPEC's export price - support intention [2] - For methanol, with rising domestic production and high imports, supply pressure increases. Demand is weak, leading to high enterprise and port inventories. The weak reality remains unchanged, and the high - inventory problem of the 01 contract may further suppress the spot price.

The BZN spread has room for upward repair. Styrene prices may stop falling in the short term due to high - level inventory reduction [16] - For polyethylene, the PE valuation has limited downward space, but high - level warehouse receipts suppress the market. With the arrival of the seasonal peak season, prices may remain range - bound at a low level [19] - For polypropylene, in a context of weak supply and demand with high inventory pressure, there is no prominent short - term contradiction. The price may be supported when the supply - surplus situation of the cost side changes in the first quarter of next year [22] - For PX, it is expected to have a slight inventory increase in November, with prices mainly following crude oil fluctuations. There may be opportunities for valuation increases in the medium term [25] - For PTA, continuous inventory accumulation is expected in November, and processing fees are under pressure.

Core Viewpoints of the Report - For crude oil, although the geopolitical premium has dissipated and OPEC's production increase is minimal with supply not yet surging, short - term oil prices should not be overly bearish. A low - buy and high - sell range strategy is maintained, but it's advisable to wait and see for now to test OPEC's export price - support intention [3]. - For methanol, the port price is falling, the inventory is high and hard to deplete, supply is rising while demand is weakening. With the unfulfilled expectation of overseas winter production cuts, if the high - inventory issue persists, the market may decline. It's recommended to wait and see [4]. - For urea, supply and demand are both increasing, the market is in a relatively loose pattern with limited fundamental contradictions. The price has limited upside and downside, so it's advisable to wait and see [7]. - For rubber, when the price reaches the previous low, it's recommended to set a stop - loss and consider short - term long trading with a quick - in - quick - out approach. Partial position - building is suggested for the RU2601 long and RU2609 short hedge [12]. - For PVC, the fundamentals are poor with strong supply, weak demand, and a weak export outlook. There is a risk of inventory accumulation. It's recommended to look for short - selling opportunities on price rallies in the medium term [13]. - For pure benzene and styrene, the spot and futures prices are falling. The BZN spread has room to repair. The supply of pure benzene is ample, and the port inventory of styrene is decreasing.

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints - For crude oil, although the geopolitical premium has dissipated and OPEC's production increase is minimal with supply not yet surging, short - term oil prices should not be overly bearish. A range strategy of buying low and selling high is maintained, but currently, it is advisable to wait and see as the market tests OPEC's export price - support willingness [2]. - For methanol, the port price has dropped rapidly, and the inventory remains high and difficult to deplete. With supply increasing and demand weakening, if the high - inventory issue persists, the market may decline further. It is recommended to wait and see as chasing short after the sharp decline is not cost - effective and there is no driving force for long positions [3]. - For urea, supply has returned and compound fertilizer production has increased. Although downstream demand has followed up and pre - orders have slightly risen, the supply - demand situation is still relatively loose. There is limited upward momentum, but the price downside is also restricted. It is advisable to look for short - term long opportunities on dips [7]. - For rubber, the price seems to have stabilized. Short - term long trading with quick entry and exit is recommended, and partial position building for the hedge of buying RU2601 and selling RU2609 is suggested [11]. - For PVC, the enterprise's comprehensive profit is at a low level, but supply is high with many new devices to be commissioned. Domestic demand is weak, and export expectations are poor. There is a risk of inventory accumulation, so it is advisable to short on rallies in the medium term [14]. - For pure benzene and styrene, the prices of both have declined. The BZN spread has room for upward repair. Although the supply of pure benzene is relatively abundant, the port inventory of styrene is decreasing significantly, and the price may stop falling periodically [17]. - For polyethylene, the futures price has declined. The spot price is stable, and the overall inventory is decreasing. The price may maintain a low - level oscillation as the long - term contradiction shifts to the South Korean ethylene clearance policy [20]. - For polypropylene, the futures price has declined. Supply pressure is high, and demand is in a seasonal rebound. With high inventory and a large number of warehouse receipts, the cost - side supply - surplus pattern suppresses the market [23]. - For PX, the load is high, but downstream PTA has many maintenance operations and low processing fees. PX inventory is difficult to deplete, and PXN is expected to be under pressure in November. It is recommended to wait and see [24]. - For PTA, supply maintenance is expected to increase in November, and there may be inventory depletion, but the processing fee expansion is limited. It is advisable to pay attention to the opportunity of processing fee repair in the short term [26]. - For ethylene glycol, the industry's supply is high, and imports are increasing. There is a risk of inventory accumulation in the fourth quarter, and the valuation is relatively high. It is recommended to short on rallies [30]. 3.
