1. Report Industry Investment Ratings - No industry investment ratings are provided in the reports. 2. Core Views of the Reports Methanol - The inland valuation has downward pressure. After the spring maintenance, production increases, downstream profits are divided. New acetic acid production capacity may boost demand but cannot reverse the loose supply - demand pattern. The port starts the inventory accumulation period, with imports in May recovering to 1.1 million tons. The low MTO operation rate suppresses demand, and the 09 contract is under pressure. It is recommended to short the MA09 contract on rallies. In the medium - long term, the supply - demand contradiction remains unsolved, and the rebound space is limited under the inventory accumulation expectation [1]. Polyolefins (LLDPE and PP) - For LLDPE, maintenance increases in May, and the import volume from May to June is expected to decline significantly, reducing the supply pressure in May. However, beware of an unexpected decline in demand. The cost has decreased, and it is recommended to keep short positions until low levels. For PP, although the supply pressure eases slightly during the second - quarter maintenance peak, the production is still high, demand has bottom - support but is weakening, and there is a downward risk in the long - term [4]. Urea - The supply - side capacity at a high level suppresses prices, and the demand - side export expectation provides limited support. The enterprise inventory reduction and port inventory accumulation offset each other. Policy control and international prices weaken the upward momentum. In the short - term, the spot is driven by sentiment, but in the medium - long term, the supply - demand contradiction remains unsolved, and the price is expected to be under pressure after high - level fluctuations [12]. PVC and Caustic Soda - For caustic soda, in the medium - long term, the alumina profit is worrying under over - expansion, the demand for caustic soda is insufficient, and new production capacity is to be put into use, so the supply - demand expectation is weak. In the short - term, the supply is in the centralized maintenance stage, the pre - holiday alumina demand has improved, and the spot price has increased. It is recommended to maintain a short - selling strategy, paying attention to the purchasing intention of major alumina plants in Shandong and the caustic soda plant inventory. For PVC, the supply - demand surplus contradiction is prominent, the real - estate chain is weak, the domestic demand is insufficient, and the export is mainly quantity - for - price. During the Indian Ramadan and rainy season, the demand is hard to increase. It is recommended to short on rallies, but beware of price rebounds due to policy stimuli [25]. Styrene - Pure benzene has a weak supply - demand situation domestically, and the high - volume imports and the potential decline in crude oil prices suppress the styrene market. The styrene market was sluggish yesterday, the port inventory continued to decline, and the downstream procurement was cautious after the holiday. With the stable production of domestic plants, the supply is expected to increase, and the supply - demand margin is under pressure. In the medium - term, the terminal pressure will gradually appear due to tariffs, and the crude oil trend is bearish. It is recommended to short styrene, with the upper - line resistance at 7300 [31]. Polyester Industry Chain - **PX**: Recently, due to the significant compression of PX profits, the unplanned losses of some PX factories have increased, tightening the second - quarter supply. Some PTA factory maintenance has been postponed, supporting short - term demand. With the short - term reduction of polyester inventory pressure and high polyester operation rate, short - term PX support is expected to be strong, but the terminal demand is still expected to be weak under the US tariff policy. - **PTA**: In May, many PTA plants are planned for maintenance, and the short - term polyester high operation rate supports PTA demand. The short - term supply - demand drive is strong, but the demand negative feedback and weak oil price expectation suppress the rebound. - **MEG**: In May, the industry has both maintenance and restart of plants. The domestic supply is expected to increase, but imports may decrease due to Saudi plant maintenance. Under the pressure of the crude oil system, the upward momentum is weak, and it is expected to fluctuate. - **Short - fiber**: After the holiday, the short - fiber factory inventory has decreased, but under the Sino - US tariff stalemate, the short - fiber drive is weaker than that of raw materials, and the processing fee is under pressure. - **Bottle - chip**: A 750,000 - ton device of Sanfangxiang is expected to resume production in May, increasing the supply. The downstream soft - drink industry is expected to increase production in May. The bottle - chip price follows the raw materials, and the processing fee is supported. [35] Crude Oil - Overnight, oil prices rebounded due to macro - factors (the US - UK trade framework agreement boosting market risk preference) and improved supply - demand fundamentals (a two - week decline in US crude oil inventory to the lowest level since late March and a contraction in Cushing inventory). Geopolitical risks have increased, and the option market shows bullish bets. In the short - term, macro and geopolitical factors promote oil price increases, but in the medium - long term, the loose supply situation remains unchanged, and the rebound sustainability is insufficient. It is recommended to wait and see on the long - short side, with the WTI price range at [58, 68], Brent at [60, 70], and SC at [450, 510]. It is recommended to bet on increased volatility in the options market [40]. 3.
