Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - The trend strength of caustic soda is -1, indicating a relatively bearish view [4] Group 2: Core View of the Report - The valuation of caustic soda is always suppressed by the expected alumina production cut, and future market trends depend on whether this expectation is confirmed or refuted. In the long - term, alumina production cuts will lead to negative feedback in the industrial chain [2] Group 3: Summary by Relevant Catalogs Fundamental Tracking - On October 20, 2025, the 01 - contract futures price of caustic soda was 2344, the price of the cheapest deliverable 32% caustic soda in Shandong was 800, the Shandong spot 32% caustic soda converted to the futures price was 2500, and the basis was 156 [1] Spot News - On October 17, the caustic soda market in Shandong showed mixed trends. In the eastern part, inventory declined and some prices rose slightly; in the western part, high - price sales were poor and prices continued to fall [1] Market Condition Analysis - In October, there were new maintenance plans in Shandong, Hebei and other regions, so the supply pressure of caustic soda was not large. On the demand side, alumina plants in Hebei made concentrated purchases. With the subsequent shipment of orders from other provinces, Shandong was expected to continue destocking, and a sharp decline in the short - term Shandong market was unlikely. The high - output and high - inventory pattern of the alumina industry compressed profits, and marginal production capacity supply might be affected in the future. Although there was a demand for 5.6 million tons of new production capacity in Guangxi from the end of this year to early next year, the low - profit situation would also lead to a decline in the inventory levels of other alumina plants. The expected impact of alumina production start - up and production cuts on caustic soda could basically offset each other. In winter, it was the off - season for chlor - alkali enterprise maintenance, and the supply - demand gap caused by inventory accumulation might be limited [2]

1. Investment Ratings No investment ratings for the industries are provided in the reports. 2. Core Views Methanol - The price may continue to fluctuate under the game of supply and demand. Focus on the stability of overseas device operation, the customs - clearance efficiency of sanctioned vessels, and actual arrival performance. Pay attention to the port destocking rhythm and the implementation effect of overseas gas - limiting expectations [1]. Polyolefins (LLDPE & PP) - The inventory pressure after the holiday is still significant. The supply pressure is prominent in the medium - and long - term, and the demand lacks highlights. The upside space of the 01 contract is limited [5]. Caustic Soda - There is demand support in the medium - and long - term, but it is weak in the short term. It was previously recommended to be bearish, and now the short positions can be temporarily closed as the market stabilizes [8]. PVC - The short - term disk may continue to be under pressure. Although the supply pressure has slightly eased and exports have recovered, the demand in the peak season is weak. Pay attention to cost support and downstream demand performance [8]. PX - The supply and demand are expected to be weak in the fourth quarter. It will mainly fluctuate at a low level in the short term. It is recommended to wait and see and look for short - selling opportunities on rebounds, and mainly conduct reverse spreads on the monthly spread [9]. PTA - The short - term drive is limited, and it will mainly fluctuate at a low level. It is recommended to wait and see TA, pay attention to the support around 4500, and conduct rolling reverse spreads on TA1 - 5 [9]. Ethylene Glycol - It is expected to accumulate inventory in October, and the supply - demand structure is weak in the far - month. It is recommended to short EG01 on rallies, hold the seller of the out - of - the - money call option EG2601 - C - 4350, and conduct reverse spreads on EG1 - 5 [9]. Short Fibers - The absolute price is still under pressure in the short term, but it is relatively strong compared to raw materials due to low inventory. It is recommended to have the same strategy as PTA for the unilateral position, and widen the processing margin at a low level [9]. Bottle Chips - It is likely to enter the seasonal inventory accumulation channel. PR follows the cost end, and the processing margin improves in the short term. It is recommended to have the same strategy as PTA for the unilateral position, and the main contract processing margin is expected to fluctuate between 350 - 500 yuan/ton [9]. Pure Benzene - The overall supply and demand in October are expected to be loose, and the price drive is weak. BZ2603 follows the fluctuations of styrene and oil prices [10]. Styrene - The supply - demand is expected to be loose, and the price is still under pressure in the short term. EB11 should be treated as a short - selling opportunity on rebounds [10]. 3.

Core Viewpoint - The non-ferrous metals sector has shown outstanding performance in 2025, leading the market with a 75% increase year-to-date as of October 10, 2025, driven by various factors including the impact of interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve [1][4]. Group 1: Performance Drivers - The strong performance of the non-ferrous sector is attributed to the rise in commodity prices across various sub-sectors, significantly influenced by the Federal Reserve's decision to cut interest rates by 25 basis points in September 2025, with expectations for further cuts [6]. - The anticipated continued rate cuts by the Federal Reserve are expected to further boost commodity prices in the non-ferrous sector, particularly for precious and industrial metals, which are sensitive to global interest rate environments [6]. Group 2: Investment Opportunities - There remains potential for investment in the non-ferrous sector, primarily due to the expected further rate cuts by the Federal Reserve, which could lead to additional price increases in the sector [6]. - Beyond the non-ferrous sector, other industries such as transportation (aviation, oil shipping), chemicals (pesticides, chlor-alkali), and construction materials (glass fiber, cement) are also approaching cyclical lows and turning points worth monitoring [10]. Group 3: Sector Comparisons - The non-ferrous sectors in Hong Kong and A-shares are fundamentally similar, with differences mainly in market conditions and investor types; currently, the valuation of the Hong Kong non-ferrous sector is relatively cheaper compared to A-shares [8]. Group 4: Investment Logic and Risks - The investment logic for the non-ferrous sector involves an initial phase driven by trading expectations based on macroeconomic conditions, followed by a second phase where actual commodity price increases may lead to stock price volatility [10]. - Key risks to monitor include potential price peaks, the pace of future Federal Reserve rate cuts, domestic macroeconomic conditions, and central bank gold purchasing activities [10].

Attention should be paid to the expected supply reduction due to overseas gas restrictions in mid - October [5]. PVC and Caustic Soda - Caustic soda prices are under pressure in the short term but have demand support in the long - term. PVC has a short - term inventory build - up pressure and the external macro - environment may affect the market [7]. Polyester Industry Chain - PTA may oscillate weakly in the short term.
