1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content 2. Core View of the Report - Based on the gradually increasing policy expectations in China, it is recommended to emphasize the offensiveness of portfolio allocation under the "balanced allocation" strategy framework. Long - position overweight is recommended for stock indices and non - ferrous metals (copper, aluminum, tin). Precious metals should be standard - allocated in the short term and overweighted at low levels after volatility stabilizes. For different asset classes, the driving logics in the quarterly dimension vary: the domestic equity market is expected to strengthen driven by policy expectations and the expectation of front - loaded fiscal efforts; treasury bonds can be considered for bull - steepening opportunities under the expectation of easing, but the odds are limited, and a standard allocation is generally recommended; precious metals have high short - term volatility, and investors are advised to build positions at low levels after volatility stabilizes; non - ferrous metals perform relatively better supported by the macro and industry; black commodities return to a weak and oscillatory state after the rebound driven by winter storage; crude oil is generally oscillatory and it is recommended to stay on the sidelines [5]. 3. Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Overseas and Domestic Macroeconomic Situation - **Overseas**: Trump may announce the nomination for the new Fed Chair in January. Hassett is the most popular candidate, and the interest - rate cut path may be faster in the next one to two years.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Geopolitical risks are disturbing the energy and chemical market, and the chemical industry as a whole will continue its volatile pattern. The prices of various products are affected by factors such as geopolitical situations, supply - demand relationships, and cost support, showing different trends [4]. 3. Summary According to Different Catalogs 3.1 Market Outlook - **Crude Oil**: Geopolitical factors continue to cause disruptions, and oil prices will continue to fluctuate. The actual reduction in Venezuelan crude oil exports is still uncertain, API data shows a decline in US crude oil inventories but an increase in gasoline and diesel inventories. OPEC +'s production expectations for the first quarter are stable, but the geopolitical situations in Iran and Venezuela are the core factors affecting supply expectations [8][9]. - **Asphalt**: As the political situation in Venezuela stabilizes, asphalt futures prices will decline. The supply interruption expectation of asphalt raw materials will be alleviated, asphalt supply and demand are both weak, inventory is accumulating, and its valuation compared to some products is relatively high [10]. - **High - Sulfur Fuel Oil**: Support for fuel oil futures prices is gradually accumulating. However, high - sulfur fuel oil faces medium - to long - term double negatives from high - floating storage in the Asia - Pacific region and the substitution of fuel oil demand by natural gas and photovoltaics [10]. - **Low - Sulfur Fuel Oil**: Low - sulfur fuel oil futures prices will fluctuate. It follows the trend of crude oil, has a certain support, but also faces negative factors such as a decline in shipping demand, green energy substitution, and high - sulfur substitution [12]. - **Methanol**: Due to the turbulent situation in the Middle East, methanol will rise strongly. The market is affected by overseas supply disruptions and high inventory pressure, but the methanol market based on coastal trading logic is still considered strong [27]. - **Urea**: New orders are actively traded. The release of the India tender has boosted market sentiment, and urea prices will be moderately strong. The supply is increasing, demand from some regions is rising, and the market is in a moderately strong state, but the upside space during the off - season is limited [28]. - **Ethylene Glycol**: Geopolitical instability brings uncertainties to the supply side. Cost support is significant, but with the approaching Spring Festival, demand is expected to decline, and the price will be range - bound in the short term [20]. - **PX**: Geopolitical factors boost international oil prices, providing cost support for PX. In the short term, PX supply is expected to return, downstream polyester load is stable, and PX prices are expected to be sorted in a high - level range [13]. - **PTA**: Cost support and a positive chemical market sentiment strengthen the support for PTA prices. After the post - holiday maintenance devices return to production, the supply - demand relationship is marginally weaker, and the processing fee is slightly reduced [14][15]. - **Short - Fiber**: Cost provides some support, but demand is not sustainable, and profits are under pressure. Although the cost of upstream polyester raw materials is rising, the short - fiber's own supply - demand drive is weak, and it is in the off - season [22][23]. - **Bottle - Chip**: More device overhauls are scheduled in January, and the basis is strong. The cost is rising, but downstream buyers are waiting and watching. The increase in overhauls enhances the support for profits [24]. - **Plastic**: The weak basis restricts the upside space of plastics. Although the futures price has rebounded slightly due to macro - expectations and low - valuation varieties, the spot is weak, and demand is in the off - season [31][32]. - **PP**: The increase in overhauls makes PP prices rise cautiously. Affected by oil prices and geopolitical factors, the downstream is in the off - season, and the focus is on PDH in the future [33]. - **PL**: Supported by the expectation of PDH overhauls, PL prices will fluctuate. The spot trading atmosphere has improved, but downstream demand support is limited during the off - season [33]. - **PVC**: Frequent supply disruptions lead to a strong rebound in PVC. Geopolitical factors may boost the sentiment of commodity bulls. There are positive factors such as overseas device outages and expected increases in electricity costs, but the downstream is in the off - season [35]. - **Caustic Soda**: Positive market sentiment drives caustic soda prices. Geopolitical factors may boost the sentiment of commodity bulls. The expected increase in electricity costs for restricted - capacity caustic soda production in Shaanxi has boosted market sentiment, but the market is also facing problems such as high inventory [36]. 3.2 Variety Data Monitoring 3.2.1 Energy and Chemical Daily Indicator Monitoring - **Inter - period Spreads**: Different varieties have different inter - period spread values and changes. For example, Brent's M1 - M2 spread is 0.41 with a change of 0.02, and PX's 1 - 5 month spread is - 26 with a change of - 12 [39]. - **Basis and Warehouse Receipts**: Each variety has corresponding basis and warehouse receipt data.

Core Viewpoint - The performance of oil funds has been lackluster compared to the significant gains seen in gold and silver funds, raising questions about when oil funds will rebound [1][2]. Group 1: Oil Fund Performance - In 2025, oil-related funds have shown poor performance, with many funds losing over 5%, while gold and silver funds have seen substantial gains, with some gold funds increasing by over 50% [1][3]. - Specifically, three oil funds have reported losses exceeding 10%, with the largest loss being over 13% for the E Fund Oil fund [3]. - Only two oil funds managed to maintain positive returns, one tracking an oil and gas industry index and the other actively selecting oil and gas stocks [3]. Group 2: Market Conditions - The Brent crude oil price has fluctuated between $50 and $80 per barrel in 2025, with the latest price at $63.12 per barrel as of January 6 [2]. - Factors contributing to the sustained low oil prices include increased production from OPEC and emerging oil-producing countries, along with high output from U.S. shale oil, leading to a surplus in supply [4]. - The demand for oil has been weak due to the rapid development of green energy and electric vehicles, coupled with a lack of growth in the chemical sector [4]. Group 3: Future Outlook - Analysts suggest that if the U.S. continues its loose monetary policy and domestic demand accelerates, there may be a window for oil prices to rise, but currently, the market remains in a weak state [5]. - Long-term investment in oil funds may yield significant returns if viewed through a 10 to 20-year lens, although uncertainties regarding future demand due to energy revolutions exist [5].

Core Viewpoint - The performance of oil funds has been lackluster compared to the significant gains seen in gold and silver funds, raising questions about when oil funds will rebound [1][5]. Group 1: Fund Performance - In 2025, commodity fund performance has shown divergence, with the Guotou Ruijin Silver LOF leading with over 130% gains, while multiple gold funds have increased by over 50% [1][6]. - Conversely, several oil funds have reported losses exceeding 5%, with three oil funds experiencing losses over 10%, the largest being E Fund Oil with a loss of over 13% [5][6]. Group 2: Oil Price Trends - Over the past year, gold and silver prices have reached new highs, while international oil prices have remained under pressure, fluctuating between $50 and $80 per barrel, with the latest price at $63.12 per barrel [3][4]. - The oil market is currently characterized by a weak state, primarily influenced by expectations of oversupply, as OPEC and emerging oil-producing countries have increased production, coupled with high U.S. shale oil output [9][10]. Group 3: Market Analysis - Analysts suggest that the current oil market is in a bottoming phase, with the potential for a rebound if U.S. demand and economic growth accelerate alongside global industrial recovery [9][10]. - Long-term investment in oil funds may yield substantial returns if viewed through a 10 to 20-year horizon, although uncertainties regarding future demand due to energy revolutions exist [10].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Amid the threat against Iran and a bullish market sentiment, the energy and chemical sectors are strong today, but it is still recommended to treat different varieties differently in the follow - up [1] - The US attack on Venezuela has limited impact on crude oil, and the market may return to the downward drive caused by the oversupply pressure in the first quarter [2][3][4] - Asphalt can be a key long - position variety, while PX - PTA is in a short - term correction and waiting for the next long - entry opportunity, and styrene can be a key short - position variety [2] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs (1) Crude Oil - Logic: The US attack on Venezuela has limited impact on crude oil as Venezuela's production accounts for about 1% and daily exports are 50 - 800,000 barrels, and it lacks the geographical advantage of the Strait of Hormuz. After the event, the market may return to the downward drive of the first - quarter oversupply pressure [2][3][4] - Technical Analysis: The daily - level shows a medium - term downward structure, and the hourly - level shows a short - term downward structure. Today, it rebounded with a reduction in positions, but the short - term downward structure remains intact. The short - term pressure is at the 436 level. The hourly - cycle strategy is to wait and see [4] (2) Asphalt - Logic: The US attack on Venezuela has a substantial impact on domestic asphalt raw materials. Venezuelan crude oil exports are paralyzed, and the main domestic asphalt raw material, Venezuelan heavy oil, faces a real supply cut. The asphalt market faces dual upward drivers of supply reduction and cost increase. [7] - Technical Analysis: The hourly - level shows a short - term upward structure. It oscillated today, and the trading volume has been well - matched since yesterday's gap - up opening. The short - term support is at the 2990 level. The hourly - level strategy is to hold half of the long positions and set the stop - profit at 2990 [7] (3) Styrene - Logic: The entire styrene industry chain has high inventory. The high inventory of upstream pure benzene and weak downstream 3S demand, along with the industry's over - capacity, may lead to a price decline if the expected January export increase is false [10] - Technical Analysis: The hourly - level shows a short - term upward structure, and the 15 - minute level shows a downward structure. The short - term support is below 6700. The hourly - cycle strategy is to wait and see, and hold the 15 - minute - level short positions with a stop - loss at 6835 [11][13] (4) Rubber - Logic: The seasonal inventory of domestic natural rubber is increasing rapidly, and the downstream tire inventory is high, so there is no significant upward driver [15] - Technical Analysis: The daily - level shows a medium - term oscillating structure, and the hourly - level shows a short - term upward structure. It rose slightly with increased positions today. The short - term support is raised to the 15550 level. The hourly - cycle strategy is to wait and see [15] (5) Synthetic Rubber - Logic: Synthetic rubber maintains a high - operating rate, with a slight inventory reduction due to traders' restocking. However, the high supply pressure of butadiene and high downstream tire inventory limit the upward space [17] - Technical Analysis: Both the daily - and hourly - levels show upward structures. It rose slightly with increased positions today. The short - term support is raised to the 11400 level. The hourly - level strategy is to wait and see [17] (6) PX - Logic: The fundamentals of PX - PTA are strong in both reality and expectation. However, due to the low acceptance of high prices by downstream polyester, it is facing a short - term correction. There is an opportunity for a second low - buying in the medium - term [20] - Technical Analysis: The daily - level shows a medium - term upward structure, and the hourly - level shows a short - term downward structure. It rebounded with increased positions today but did not break through the short - term pressure at 7390. The hourly - level strategy is to wait and see [20][23] (7) PTA - Logic: Similar to PX, the fundamentals of PX - PTA are strong, but it is facing a short - term correction due to downstream resistance. There is an opportunity for a second low - buying in the medium - term [25] - Technical Analysis: The daily - level shows a medium - term upward structure, and the hourly - level shows a short - term downward structure. It rebounded with increased positions today but did not break through the short - term pressure at 5205. The hourly - level strategy is to wait and see [25] (8) PP - Logic: The fundamentals of the olefin industry chain where PP - plastic belongs are still weak. It is only suitable for the chemical configuration logic in the medium - term hedging of long aromatics (PX, PTA) and short olefins (PP, plastic) [28] - Technical Analysis: The hourly - level shows a short - term upward structure. It rose slightly with increased positions today. The short - term support is raised to the 6305 level. The hourly - cycle strategy is to wait and see [28] (9) Methanol - Logic: Methanol port inventory is at a historically high level, and although there is an expected reduction in Iranian ship arrivals, the downstream MTO profit is weakening, and the fundamental driving force is still weak. The US attack on Venezuela has limited impact on methanol [31] - Technical Analysis: The daily - level shows a medium - term downward structure, and the short - term shows an upward structure. It rose sharply with increased positions today. The short - term support is at the 2200 level. The hourly - cycle strategy is to wait and see [31] (10) PVC - Logic: The reality of high production, weak demand, and high inventory of PVC continues, but the current valuation is low. Pay attention to the expected trading of anti - involution and policy support. The news of differential electricity prices in Shaanxi has stimulated a short - term upward movement [34] - Technical Analysis: The daily - level shows a medium - term downward structure, and the hourly - level shows a short - term upward structure. It rose sharply with increased positions today, hitting a new high. The short - term support is raised to the 4725 level. The hourly - cycle strategy is to hold long positions and set the stop - profit at 4725 [34] (11) Ethylene Glycol - Logic: The weak coal price in the cost side and the continuous inventory increase in ports, along with weakening demand, do not provide a driving force for a significant reversal [36] - Technical Analysis: The daily - level shows a medium - term downward structure, and the hourly - level structure is unclear. It rebounded with a reduction in positions today. The hourly - cycle strategy is to wait and see [36] (12) Plastic - Logic: Similar to PP, the fundamentals of the olefin industry chain where plastic belongs are weak. It is only suitable for the chemical configuration logic in the medium - term hedging of long aromatics and short olefins [39] - Technical Analysis: The daily - level shows a medium - term downward structure, and the hourly - level downward structure is being challenged. It rebounded with a reduction in positions today, breaking through the short - term pressure at 6545. The hourly - cycle strategy is to wait and see [39] (13) Soda Ash - Logic: The inventory pressure of soda ash has weakened slightly, but the over - supply pattern remains, and there is no significant upward driving force without an expected increase in terminal demand [40] - Technical Analysis: The hourly - level shows an upward structure. It rebounded slightly near the support level today. The short - term support is at the 1170 level, and the short - term upward structure remains intact. The hourly - cycle strategy is to wait and see [40] (14) Caustic Soda - Logic: Caustic soda has a pattern of high supply, high inventory, and weak demand. The supply - demand driving force is downward, but there is no space for chasing short positions [42] - Technical Analysis: The hourly - level structure is unclear.
