Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints - PTA: Yesterday, PTA futures fluctuated weakly following the cost side. The news of a 7.2 million - ton PTA device in East China reducing its load provided some support, narrowing the decline in the futures market. The spot market remained quiet with a weak spot basis. In August, some PTA devices are planned for maintenance, and the supply - demand outlook is expected to improve. Last week, polyester sales volume increased significantly, alleviating the inventory pressure of polyester factories. It is expected that the PTA price will fluctuate following the cost side in the short term, and the basis will fluctuate within a certain range [5]. - MEG: On Tuesday, the ethylene glycol price fluctuated upwards at a low level. The night - session opened lower and adjusted, with weak buying interest. The supply side of ethylene glycol has experienced frequent unexpected events recently, and the supply - demand situation in July - August has shifted to a tight balance, which is significantly better than the previous market expectation. Under the resonance of supply tightening and a good macro - atmosphere, the short - term price center of ethylene glycol is expected to move upwards. Attention should be paid to the resumption progress of overseas devices [7][9].

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints - For copper, the short - term supply is loose due to tariff implementation, while the medium - to - long - term supply is tight. The market is bearish in the short term and bullish in the medium - to - long term [8] - For lithium carbonate, the supply - side looseness will ease, but high inventory restricts upward movement. Caution is needed [9][10] - For crude oil, it is expected to oscillate in the near term. Attention should be paid to OPEC+ production policies in September [11] - For asphalt, it is expected to oscillate recently [13] - For PP, it is expected to oscillate in the near term, and a 09 - 01 reverse spread is recommended [14] - For plastics, it is expected to oscillate recently, and a 09 - 01 reverse spread is recommended [16] - For PVC, it is expected to oscillate downward in the near term, and a 09 - 01 reverse spread is recommended [18] - For coking coal, due to high volatility, cautious operation is advisable [19] - For urea, it is expected to remain weakly oscillating [21] Summary by Related Catalogs Futures Market Overview - As of the close on July 29, most domestic futures contracts declined.

It is expected to oscillate, and a 09 - 01 reverse spread is recommended [16] PVC - Supply is high, demand is weak, and inventory is high. It is expected to oscillate downward, and a 09 - 01 reverse spread is recommended [18] Coking Coal - Supply is stable, and demand is strong. High volatility requires cautious operation [19] Urea - Supply is sufficient, demand is weak, and inventory removal slows. It is expected to remain weakly oscillating [21]
