Report Industry Investment Ratings - No industry investment ratings are provided in the reports. Core Views Natural Rubber - The supply is shrinking as northern Thailand and northern - central Vietnam transition to reduced production and suspension of tapping, and overseas raw material prices are likely to rise, strengthening cost support. Demand is weak, with slow domestic sales and high inventory. The price is expected to fluctuate within the range of 15,500 - 16,500 [1]. Polyolefins - Affected by capital rotation and geopolitical tensions, prices are strong. Fundamentally, supply and demand are both decreasing, and inventory is being depleted. PP's supply pressure is relieved due to maintenance, while PE's standard product pressure increases. In the future, attention should be paid to the implementation of marginal device maintenance [2]. LPG - The price is affected by factors such as inventory and upstream - downstream operating rates. The downstream PDH operating rate has decreased significantly, and the market situation needs to be further observed [3]. Urea - The supply is sufficient, and demand is weak. The market is expected to fluctuate and consolidate in the short - term, with the main contract of urea focusing on the range of 1,760 - 1,800 [4]. PVC and Caustic Soda - Caustic soda is expected to be weakly volatile due to high inventory and weak demand. PVC is expected to have a downward adjustment in the market, with the main contract focusing on the range of 4,820 - 5,000 [6]. Glass and Soda Ash - Both glass and soda ash are expected to have a weakly volatile market. Soda ash is affected by inventory and demand, while glass is in a situation of weak supply and demand during the pre - holiday off - season [7]. Styrene and Pure Benzene - Pure benzene's price may be under pressure at high levels due to factors such as increased import expectations. Styrene's supply - demand is expected to weaken, and its price is also expected to be under pressure at high levels [8]. Crude Oil - Short - term geopolitical premiums and supply - side factors support the rise in oil prices. Attention should be paid to changes in geopolitical conflicts in the Middle East [10]. Methanol - The methanol market has weak supply and demand. The inventory in the inland area is being depleted, but high production restricts the rebound space. The port inventory is slightly increasing, and the demand for MTO is weak [14]. Polyester Industry Chain - PX, PTA, and other products are affected by factors such as supply - demand and seasonality. PX and PTA are expected to fluctuate in the short - term and be bullish in the medium - term. Ethylene glycol has a pattern of weak near - term and strong far - term supply - demand [16].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating There is no information about the report industry investment rating in the provided content. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Since December 2025, the prices of Chinese chemical products have bottomed out and rebounded, with a trend reversal. As of January 26, 2026, the Chinese chemical product price index rose to 4084, a month - on - month increase of 4.2%. The year - on - year decline in PPI of the chemical raw materials and chemical products manufacturing and chemical fiber manufacturing industries in December has narrowed, indicating that the industry's price pressure is continuously easing [1]. - The newly revised "Regulations for the Implementation of the Drug Administration Law of the People's Republic of China" was announced on the 27th and will come into effect on May 15. Encouraging innovation is a prominent feature of this revision [1]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Upstream - **Chemical**: The price of PTA continues to rise [1]. - **Energy**: The prices of international crude oil and liquefied natural gas have rebounded [1]. 3.2 Midstream - **Chemical**: The PX operating rate remains at a high level [2]. - **Energy**: The coal consumption of power plants continues at a low level [2]. - **Infrastructure**: The operating rate of road asphalt is at a low level [2]. 3.3 Downstream - **Real Estate**: The sales of commercial housing in first, second, and third - tier cities have seasonally declined [2]. - **Service**: The number of domestic flights has increased [2]. 3.4 Key Industry Price Indicators - **Agriculture**: On January 27, the spot prices of corn, eggs, palm oil, cotton, and pork increased year - on - year by 0.19%, 5.81%, 2.46%, 0.64%, and 0.92% respectively [36]. - **Non - ferrous Metals**: On January 27, the spot prices of copper, zinc, aluminum, and nickel increased year - on - year by 0.85%, 1.76%, 0.76%, and 2.34% respectively, while the spot price of aluminum decreased by 0.18% [36]. - **Ferrous Metals**: On January 27, the spot price of iron ore increased year - on - year by 1.13%, while the spot prices of rebar and wire decreased by 0.35% and 1.15% respectively [36]. - **Non - metals**: On January 27, the spot prices of glass and natural rubber increased year - on - year by 1.56% and 2.79% respectively, and the China Plastic City price index increased by 0.46% [36]. - **Energy**: On January 27, the spot prices of WTI crude oil, Brent crude oil, and liquefied natural gas increased year - on - year by 2.17%, 1.58%, and 3.63% respectively, while the coal price decreased by 0.12% [36]. - **Chemical**: On January 27, the spot prices of PTA and polyethylene increased year - on - year by about 5.87% and 2.18% respectively, while the spot prices of urea and soda ash decreased by 0.43% and 0.12% respectively [36]. - **Real Estate**: On January 27, the national cement price index and building materials composite index decreased year - on - year by 0.75% and 0.46% respectively, and the national concrete price index remained unchanged [36].

Group 1: Energy and Metals Crude Oil - Nighttime oil prices rebounded significantly, with Brent crude approaching $67 per barrel and NTI close to $63 per barrel. Winter storms led to a maximum daily production loss of 2 million barrels in the US, about 15% of the national output. API inventory data showed a drawdown in crude oil, which was bullish. However, the inventory pressure in the global crude oil market in January 2026 was significant, and the long - term factor suppressing oil price increases was the loose supply - demand situation [2]. Precious Metals - The US dollar index hit a four - year low overnight, and precious metals continued to perform strongly. Gold had a solid logic, while silver and platinum had high volatility risks. Attention was paid to the Middle East situation and the Fed meeting guidance [3]. Copper - Copper prices oscillated overnight, but recovered losses in the US session. The LME spot discount widened to $93. Market focus shifted to geopolitical issues, the potential US government "shutdown" at the end of the month, and internal US conflict risks. Copper prices were expected to oscillate at a high level with a tendency to adjust [4]. Aluminum - Shanghai aluminum oscillated at a high level overnight. Spot premiums and discounts in East China, Central China, and Foshan were - 170 yuan, - 280 yuan, and 165 yuan respectively. Geopolitical games made the financial market sentiment fluctuate. Attention was paid to whether the high - level oscillation range could form a directional breakthrough [5]. Cast Aluminum Alloy - Cast aluminum alloy followed the fluctuations of Shanghai aluminum, with low market activity. Due to macro - driving and high prices, the seasonal spread between cast aluminum alloy and Shanghai aluminum would be weaker than in previous years [6]. Alumina - The operating capacity of domestic alumina remained high, with an increase in maintenance but no long - term production cuts. The alumina balance was in significant surplus. The cash cost support might be below 2,500 yuan. Alumina needed large - scale production cuts to stabilize, and short - selling on rallies was recommended when the basis was low [7]. Zinc - The external market strengthened, driving the domestic market up. The import loss of zinc ingots expanded to over 2,500 yuan per ton. Domestic traders' price - supporting sentiment rose again, and the spot premium stopped falling. High natural gas prices in Europe and the US and low TC pushed up overseas zinc smelting costs, supporting zinc prices at a high level. However, the consumption off - season still restricted the price, and zinc was expected to oscillate between 24,000 - 25,000 yuan per ton before the Spring Festival [8]. Lead - Transportation in Central and East China recovered, and primary lead smelters resumed production in late January. With insufficient downstream demand, Shanghai lead prices fell. The import profit of lead ingots narrowed to 86 yuan per ton. As lead prices dropped to 17,000 yuan, downstream inventory - building willingness increased. The refined - scrap spread was 100 yuan per ton, and the loss of recycled lead expanded. Shanghai lead was expected to oscillate between 16,800 - 17,000 yuan per ton [9]. Nickel and Stainless Steel - Shanghai nickel oscillated at a high level with active trading. After the increase in stainless steel spot prices, downstream buyers were cautious, and actual transactions were weak. The inventory of pure nickel increased by 2,700 tons to 66,000 tons, nickel - iron inventory was 29,300 tons, and stainless steel inventory was basically stable at 844,000 tons. Caution was advised due to the market's fear of high prices [10]. Tin - Overnight, the price fluctuations of domestic and international tin increased. Shanghai tin rose and then fell, with strong volume - price guidance. There had been tin ingot trading on the Indonesian exchange this month, and the domestic tin concentrate processing fee increased slightly. The tin market was closely related to silver prices, and the technical pattern was still intact. Cautious trading was recommended [11]. Lithium Carbonate - Lithium carbonate prices rose again, but market trading declined. Exchange policies affected market participation. High prices might have led to the closing of many hedging positions, with strong spot and speculative long positions being dominant, and the持仓 structure was fragile. The total market inventory decreased by 800 tons to 109,000 tons. The overall de - stocking speed slowed down. Lithium carbonate futures were in high - level oscillation, with high short - term uncertainty [12]. Polysilicon - Polysilicon futures oscillated upward, but the spot price declined. The average spot price of N - type re -投料 was 52,500 yuan per ton, down 1,500 yuan per ton from the previous day. The futures - spot spread narrowed. Battery cell prices dropped to 0.47 yuan/W, approaching the cash cost. Battery cell manufacturers were cautious about increasing production in February, mainly focusing on de - stocking. The acceptance of polysilicon price increases by downstream was low, and polysilicon had high inventory pressure. The upward space of polysilicon prices was expected to be limited [13]. Industrial Silicon - The supply of industrial silicon decreased, with production cuts in Inner Mongolia and planned cuts by large factories in Xinjiang at the end of the month. The demand in each sector was weak. The production of polysilicon in February might fall to 90,000 tons. The weekly operating rate of organic silicon was stable at around 66%. The operating rate of recycled aluminum alloy was expected to decline. Industrial silicon inventory increased to 556,000 tons. The industrial silicon market was driven by production cut expectations, and attention was paid to whether it could break through 9,000 yuan per ton. It was expected to oscillate [14]. Group 2: Steel and Related Products Rebar and Hot - Rolled Coil - Steel prices oscillated weakly overnight. In the off - season, the apparent demand for rebar decreased, production increased, and inventory accumulated. The demand and production of hot - rolled coil both declined slightly, and inventory continued to decrease. Steel mill profits were poor, and downstream acceptance ability was insufficient. The resumption of blast furnace production slowed down, and hot metal production stabilized. Domestic demand was weak, and steel exports remained high. The spot supply - demand contradiction was not significant, and the market sentiment was volatile. The market was expected to oscillate in a range [15]. Iron Ore - Iron ore prices weakened overnight. Global shipments increased and were stronger than the same period last year. Vale's reservoir had an accident. Domestic arrivals decreased from the high level, and port inventory accumulated significantly. Terminal demand was low in the off - season, and hot metal production was affected by the accident and remained low. Steel mills' imported ore inventory increased but was still at a low level. The iron ore market was generally loose, but considering the phased inventory - building demand, the price was expected to continue to oscillate [16]. Coke - Coke prices declined during the day. The first round of price increase was shelved, coking profits were average, and daily production decreased slightly. Coke inventory increased slightly, and traders' purchasing willingness was general. The carbon element supply was abundant, and downstream hot metal production was at an off - season level. It was necessary to observe whether winter inventory - building continued. Steel mills had a strong desire to suppress raw material prices. Coke futures were at a premium, and the price was likely to oscillate downward in the short term [17]. Coking Coal - Coking coal prices declined during the day. The prices of most imported coals increased, providing some support to domestic coal prices. The Mongolian coal customs clearance volume was 1,402 tons. The production of coking coal mines increased slightly, and the spot auction transactions were at a high level. Terminal inventory increased significantly. The total coking coal inventory increased slightly. The carbon element supply was abundant, and downstream hot metal production was at an off - season level. It was necessary to observe whether winter inventory - building continued. Steel mills had a strong desire to suppress raw material prices. Coking coal futures were at a premium to Mongolian coal, and the price was likely to oscillate downward in the short term [18]. Silicomanganese - Silicomanganese prices declined during the day. Manganese ore spot prices decreased. Manganese ore port inventory might start to accumulate slowly. The mine's shipping volume increased month - on - month, but the mine cost was higher than in previous years, and the price - concession space was limited. Hot metal production was at a seasonal low. The weekly production of silicomanganese changed little. Silicomanganese inventory decreased slightly. Short - selling on rallies was recommended due to oversupply and the influence of "anti - involution" policies [19]. Ferrosilicon - Ferrosilicon prices declined during the day. The power cost in some production areas decreased, but the semi - coke price increased slightly. The main production areas were still in a loss. Hot metal production was at an off - season level. The export demand was over 30,000 tons, with a marginal impact. The production of magnesium metal increased month - on - month, and the secondary demand increased marginally. The overall demand was still resilient. Ferrosilicon supply changed little, and inventory decreased slightly. Short - selling on rallies was recommended due to oversupply and the influence of "anti - involution" policies [20]. Group 3: Shipping and Fuels Container Freight Index (European Line) - In the spot market, Maersk's new cabin quotes for Week 7 - Week 9 were 1,200/1,900/2,000 and 1,260/1,995/2,100, with some routes slightly lower than the previous period. Facing the pre - holiday return cargo pressure, spot quotes continued to decline. The new threat from the Houthi rebels in the Red Sea had limited impact on near - month contracts, and the impact on far - month contracts was also expected to be limited. Before the Spring Festival, the market lacked driving forces and was expected to oscillate. After the festival, the focus would be on whether the export tax rebate "roll - back" policy could trigger "rush shipments" and its actual implementation [21]. Fuel Oil and Low - Sulfur Fuel Oil - Driven by geopolitical factors, bad weather in North America, and the fire at a Kazakhstani oil field, the cost of crude oil increased, driving fuel oil prices up. The uncertainty of the Middle East geopolitical situation provided support for high - sulfur fuel oil. The congestion at the Singapore port made the spot market slightly tight, making fuel oil perform relatively strongly in the oil product system. For low - sulfur fuel oil, the supply in Singapore was previously tight but the spot structure changed from premium to discount, indicating a marginal relief of the tight situation. The strengthening of diesel cracking supported the strengthening of low - sulfur cracking. In the medium term, the supply was expected to increase slightly. Fuel oil was expected to continue to oscillate strongly following crude oil, but the differentiation between high - and low - sulfur fundamentals still existed [22]. Asphalt - Nighttime oil prices rose sharply, and asphalt followed. Kpler data showed that the shipment of Venezuelan oil to China had decreased significantly since January, and refineries were expected to face problems such as increased costs of alternative raw materials in the later part of the first quarter. The cost - end support made asphalt oscillate strongly [23]. Group 4: Chemicals Urea - The spot prices of urea in the mainstream regions were stable with a slight increase. Before the Spring Festival, the industrial downstream demand was expected to decline, and the large - scale spring plowing fertilizer - stocking demand had not started, with only sporadic purchases. The supply pressure remained, and the snow and rain weather affected the transportation in some inland markets. However, downstream enterprises had inventory - building needs before the festival, and the price would continue to fluctuate within a range [24]. Methanol - The overseas methanol plant operating rate remained low, and the coastal demand decreased. The concentrated unloading of foreign vessels led to a slight increase in port inventory. The Ningbo Fude MTO plant restarted over the weekend, but the olefin plants of Sierbang and Shandong Hengtong stopped. The high port inventory might suppress the market. The short - term geopolitical situation was still highly uncertain, and the market was expected to oscillate firmly [25]. Pure Benzene - The import volume of traditional benzene increased, and the inventory at Jiangsu ports increased slightly. The profit of downstream styrene improved, and the operating rate increased, driving up the demand for pure benzene. The short - term geopolitical situation and cost fluctuations were large, and the market might be under pressure as the supply increased [26]. Styrene - The cost end continued to provide support. In terms of supply - demand fundamentals, although some plants resumed production, the domestic supply still decreased, and the downstream demand decreased steadily. As the pre - Spring Festival stocking period was coming to an end, the price was under short - term pressure [27]. Polypropylene, Plastic, and Propylene - The futures of polypropylene and plastic showed a strong performance, and local downstream inventory - building drove up the buying enthusiasm. Propylene enterprises' inventory was at a low level, and the offers were raised to different extents. The actual order auction premiums were obvious, and the transaction center increased significantly. The futures of plastic and polypropylene showed a top - divergence pattern. For polyethylene, the production enterprise's plant maintenance decreased, and the import resources arrived successively, increasing the market supply pressure. The downstream factories were gradually on holiday, and the production load decreased. For polypropylene, the rising propane and international oil prices strengthened the cost support, and the enterprise's ex - factory prices were continuously raised, boosting the market's high - price atmosphere. However, the new orders were insufficient, and the downstream enterprises were more resistant to high - price raw materials [28]. PVC and Caustic Soda - PVC prices oscillated overnight. The factory inventory decreased, but the social inventory increased, and the overall inventory still had pressure. The number of maintenance increased slightly, and the operating rate decreased slightly. The export orders were good, but the domestic demand was average. The calcium carbide price decreased, weakening the cost support. PVC was expected to reduce production capacity this year, and with possible rush exports, the price center was expected to rise. Caustic soda prices oscillated overnight. The purchase price of liquid caustic soda for Shandong alumina decreased. The industry inventory fluctuated slightly and remained at a high level. The liquid chlorine price was strong, and the profit of chlor - alkali integration was acceptable. The caustic soda operating rate was high. The downstream alumina operating rate remained high, with rigid demand, but the industry was generally in a loss, and it was necessary to continue to track whether there would be production cuts; non - aluminum demand was mainly for rigid purchases. The industry was in a situation of high operating rate and high inventory, and the profit of chlor - alkali integration was expected to be further compressed [29]. PX and PTA - The chemical market declined yesterday, and PX and PTA partially gave back their recent gains. However, the overnight oil price increase slowed down their adjustment. Polyester de - stocked smoothly before the Spring Festival. PX would have new capacity in the second half of the year, while PTA had none, so they were recommended for long - position allocation in the first half of the year. However, the current demand was declining, and there was an expectation of inventory accumulation around the Spring Festival, with a weak reality. In the second quarter, based on the PX maintenance and polyester production increase expectations, opportunities for long - position allocation of PX processing margin on dips and positive spreads after the spread decline could be considered, but it needed the cooperation of downstream demand. Attention should be paid to the post - festival PX and polyester balance [30]. Ethylene Glycol - The port inventory increased on Monday compared with last Thursday, and there was an expectation of continuous inventory accumulation around the Spring Festival. Ethylene glycol faced resistance at the 4,000 - yuan integer level and fell back. In the second quarter, there were expectations of concentrated maintenance and demand recovery, and the supply - demand situation might improve temporarily. However, due to capacity growth, ethylene glycol was still under long - term pressure, and it was recommended to focus on band trading [31]. Short - Fiber and Bottle - Grade PET - Short - fiber enterprises had a high operating rate and low inventory. However, the downstream orders were weak, and the profit was thin. As the Spring Festival approached, textile enterprises would gradually go on holiday, and the terminal production tended to stop. Short - fiber prices followed the raw material adjustment. The operating rate of bottle - grade PET decreased, and the processing margin improved under the low - load and relatively low - inventory situation. In the short term, it followed the raw material adjustment and declined. In the medium term, attention should be paid to the post - Spring Festival inventory performance, and spread opportunities could be considered. In the long term, there was still capacity pressure [32]. Group 5: Building Materials Glass - Glass prices oscillated overnight. The spot price center slightly increased, and the inventory fluctuated slightly. As the downstream was about to go on holiday, there might be inventory accumulation pressure. All three types of fuel production lines were in a loss, and the production capacity changed little recently. The processing orders were still sluggish, with southern orders better than northern ones. As the downstream was approaching the holiday, glass might experience seasonal inventory accumulation, but the current valuation was low, and it might fluctuate with the macro - sentiment. Attention should be paid to the subsequent production capacity changes [33]. 20 - Rubber, Natural Rubber, and Butadiene Rubber - International crude oil futures prices rose, and the prices of raw materials in the Thai market varied. The global natural rubber supply entered the production - reduction period, with the Vietnamese production area gradually stopping production. The operating rate of domestic butadiene rubber plants slightly decreased last week, while the operating rate of upstream butadiene plants increased again. The operating rate of domestic all - steel tires slightly decreased, and the operating rate of semi - steel tires continued to increase significantly. The finished - product inventory of Shandong tire enterprises continued to increase. The total natural rubber inventory in Qingdao slightly decreased to 584,400 tons, the social inventory of Chinese butadiene rubber increased to 15,600 tons, and the

Oil Market - Oil prices saw a significant increase, with WTI March contract closing up by $1.76 to $62.39 per barrel, a rise of 2.90% [2] - Brent March contract rose by $1.98 to $67.57 per barrel, marking a 3.02% increase [2] - The severe cold weather in the U.S. disrupted several refineries along the Gulf Coast, leading to a temporary halt in crude oil exports [2] - OPEC+ is expected to maintain its production policy unchanged in the upcoming meeting [2] - Chevron's Tengiz oil field in Kazakhstan is projected to recover less than half of its production capacity by February 7, with further recovery remaining uncertain [2] Fuel Oil - The main contract for fuel oil on the Shanghai Futures Exchange fell by 1.57% to 2692 yuan/ton, while low-sulfur fuel oil dropped by 0.35% to 3165 yuan/ton [3][16] - Downstream demand is showing signs of recovery, but an increase in supply may create pressure on the market fundamentals in the coming month [16][17] - Geopolitical factors, particularly regarding Iran, continue to influence price volatility [17] Asphalt - The main asphalt contract rose by 0.31% to 3279 yuan/ton, with a slight decrease in refinery output expected in February [4][18] - Demand remains weak due to seasonal factors and adverse weather conditions affecting end-user demand [18] Rubber - The main rubber contract fell by 25 yuan/ton to 16205 yuan/ton, with NR main contract remaining stable at 13085 yuan/ton [5][19] - Increased imports and rising port inventories are expected to limit price fluctuations [19] PX, PTA, and MEG - TA605 closed at 5258 yuan/ton, down 3.31%, while EG2605 closed at 3938 yuan/ton, down 1.4% [6][20] - The polyester downstream is experiencing reduced production, leading to low inventory levels and weak profit margins [20] Methanol - Methanol prices are stable, with Taicang spot price at 2267 yuan/ton and CFR China prices between $270-$274 [7][21] - Domestic supply remains high, but demand is weakening due to reduced operating rates in MTO facilities [21] Polyolefins - Polypropylene prices are under pressure, with production margins negative for oil-based and methanol-based PP [8][23] - As the Chinese New Year approaches, downstream factories are expected to halt operations, leading to potential inventory accumulation [23] PVC - PVC prices are adjusting downwards, with the East China market seeing prices between 4680-4770 yuan/ton for calcium carbide method [9][24] - Supply remains high while domestic demand is slowing, leading to a bearish outlook for the market [24] Urea - Urea futures prices are fluctuating, with the main contract closing at 1790 yuan/ton, down 0.17% [10][25] - Supply is stable, but demand is showing signs of divergence between agricultural and industrial sectors [25] Soda Ash - Soda ash futures prices are experiencing slight declines, with the main contract closing at 1194 yuan/ton [11][26] - The market is supported by pre-holiday inventory replenishment, but overall demand remains limited [26] Glass - Glass futures prices are weak, with the main contract closing at 1066 yuan/ton, down 0.93% [12][27] - The supply remains stable, but demand may decrease as the holiday approaches [27]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information about the industry investment rating is provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints - The Middle - East situation remains uncertain, and the chemical industry is gradually entering the seasonal off - season, continuing to fluctuate. Crude oil is still affected by geopolitics, and the relationship between the US and Iran is a focus of the crude oil market. The increase in US natural gas and middle - distillates due to the cold wave has temporarily stopped, and coal prices are likely to be dragged down by weakening demand [1]. - The chemical industry showed high volatility on Tuesday. Styrene and polyolefins generally remained strong, while polyester chain varieties declined significantly. The current inventory build - up in the chemical industry chain is a seasonal one, and investors should view the chemical industry with a fluctuating mindset [1]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Market Outlook for Different Products 3.1.1 Crude Oil - **Viewpoint**: Supply pressure persists, and geopolitics dominates the rhythm [1][5]. - **Main Logic**: Concerns about the Iranian situation, the slow recovery of the Kazakhstan oilfield, and the US cold wave have pushed up supply concerns. Although the API data showed a decrease in US crude and gasoline inventories last week, the high inventory of US petroleum products indicated by EIA data is still pessimistic for the fundamentals. The current crude oil market supply is still in surplus, and the short - term rhythm is dominated by the Iranian situation [5]. - **Outlook**: Fluctuation. The fundamentals are in supply surplus, but geopolitical situations in Iran and Russia may potentially disrupt supply expectations frequently, and the slow recovery of the Kazakhstan oilfield also provides short - term support [5]. 3.1.2 Asphalt - **Viewpoint**: Asphalt futures prices fluctuate following crude oil [7]. - **Main Logic**: OPEC+ will suspend production increases in the first quarter, and the US is cooperating with Venezuela to increase its oil production, which will lead to abundant long - term asphalt supply and a significant negative impact on asphalt. The repeated US - Iran situation provides cost - side support for asphalt futures prices. The supply and demand of asphalt are both weak, and the inventory is accumulating [7]. - **Outlook**: Fluctuation. The absolute price of asphalt is in the over - valued range, and its long - term valuation is expected to decline [7]. 3.1.3 High - Sulfur Fuel Oil - **Viewpoint**: Part of the geopolitical premium of fuel oil has declined [7]. - **Main Logic**: OPEC+ will suspend production increases, and the US is helping Venezuela increase oil production, leading to a strong expectation of a surge in heavy - oil supply, which will put long - term pressure on high - sulfur fuel oil. The US welcomes Iran to negotiate, causing part of the fuel - oil geopolitical premium to decline. In the long - term, high floating storage in the Asia - Pacific region and the replacement of fuel - oil power generation by natural gas and photovoltaics in the Middle - East are negative factors [7]. - **Outlook**: Fluctuation. The expected increase in Venezuela's oil production will put long - term pressure on high - sulfur fuel oil, and short - term attention should be paid to the geopolitical situation in the Middle - East [7]. 3.1.4 Low - Sulfur Fuel Oil - **Viewpoint**: The sharp rise in natural gas may support low - sulfur fuel oil [10]. - **Main Logic**: The significant increase in US natural gas prices drives the crack spread of refined oil products and boosts the expectation of low - sulfur fuel - oil power generation. Low - sulfur fuel oil has strong product attributes and is supported. However, it faces negative factors such as the decline in shipping demand, green - energy substitution, and high - sulfur substitution. Currently, its valuation is low and it is expected to fluctuate with crude oil [10]. - **Outlook**: Fluctuation. Low - sulfur fuel oil is affected by green - fuel substitution and limited high - sulfur substitution demand, but its current low valuation makes it follow crude - oil fluctuations [10]. 3.1.5 PX - **Viewpoint**: Market sentiment has cooled, and PX has reduced positions and declined [13]. - **Main Logic**: The weak trend of international oil prices and the obvious cooling of the chemical - product sector have led to a significant reduction in PX positions and a decline in price. The weak real - world situation makes it difficult to support high prices, and upstream raw materials face short - term correction pressure due to the seasonal weakening of terminal demand [13]. - **Outlook**: In the short term, PX prices will fluctuate under the guidance of sentiment. Attention should be paid to the support level of around 7,200 yuan/ton for the PX05 contract, and the PXN is expected to remain within the range of [340, 380] US dollars/ton [13]. 3.1.6 PTA - **Viewpoint**: Suppressed by the weakening of commodities, TA has significantly reduced positions and declined [14]. - **Main Logic**: The cooling of the commodity market sentiment has led to a significant reduction in PTA positions and a decline. There are no significant changes in the supply and demand side, but the downstream polyester factories are accelerating production cuts, and the seasonal inventory build - up pressure of PTA has increased. The PTA price spread and month - to - month spread are both weak, and the market is worried about the inventory build - up pressure around the Spring Festival. The PTA disk profit has corrected from a high level [14]. - **Outlook**: It is expected to fluctuate and consolidate in the short term. Attention should be paid to the stabilization of the TA05 - 09 month - to - month spread, and the short - term PTA processing fee may correct to some extent. The industry can choose to hedge to lock in production profits [15]. 3.1.7 Pure Benzene - **Viewpoint**: The game between expectations and reality is intertwined, and pure benzene fluctuates [16]. - **Main Logic**: The recent rise is due to downstream profit - locking driving up the price of pure benzene and the supplementary rise in the context of the long - allocation atmosphere of aromatics. Pure benzene is in a transition period where the fundamentals may change, and the real - world pressure is still large. Although the supply - demand gap from January to February is still positive, it is expected to achieve a small inventory reduction in March [17]. - **Outlook**: Fluctuation. High inventory still needs time to be digested, but the fundamentals in the first quarter are improving quarter - on - quarter. It is expected to fluctuate under the strong sentiment of energy - chemical commodities [17]. 3.1.8 Styrene - **Viewpoint**: Driven by capital behavior and export stories, styrene has risen recently [18]. - **Main Logic**: The recent strong rise of styrene is due to capital behavior under the expectation of the long - cycle bottom of the chemical industry and the rotation of the commodity - market sector. In addition, the supply - demand of styrene has been tight recently, and the inventory - build - up expectation in January has turned into inventory reduction. The seasonal inventory - build - up height in February is also expected to decrease [18]. - **Outlook**: Fluctuation. Although there is a tendency for profit compression during the seasonal inventory build - up, the impact of exports and better fundamentals than pure benzene are expected to limit the decline [18]. 3.1.9 Ethylene Glycol - **Viewpoint**: Lack of confidence among bulls and no continuous positive factors, ethylene glycol has adjusted and corrected [19]. - **Main Logic**: The poor commodity sentiment has led to a high - level correction in the polyester chain. Bulls in ethylene glycol lack confidence, and the real - world inventory build - up pressure is huge. The supply reduction is slow, and multiple sets of equipment are still in the process of resuming production. Coupled with the accelerating production cuts of downstream polyester factories, the high inventory suppresses the upward price elasticity [20]. - **Outlook**: In the short term, the price will maintain a range - bound adjustment within the range of [3,800 - 4,050] yuan/ton. Short - term attention should be paid to the operation within the range of [- 120, - 85] yuan/ton for EG05 - 09 [20]. 3.1.10 Short - Fiber - **Viewpoint**: Cost support has collapsed, and terminal demand has declined [21]. - **Main Logic**: The sharp decline in the prices of upstream polyester raw materials has led to the collapse of cost support, and the price of short - fiber has followed the cost decline. The terminal has gradually entered the shutdown stage, and the subsequent operating rate of spinning mills will also gradually decline. Without new positive factors, the market may weaken and consolidate in the near future [22]. - **Outlook**: The price of short - fiber will follow the upstream for consolidation, and the processing fee will be slightly under pressure [22]. 3.1.11 Polyester Bottle Chips - **Viewpoint**: It fluctuates following costs, and the support for the lower limit of profit has increased [23]. - **Main Logic**: The short - term poor performance of raw - material prices and the general commodity sentiment have led to a downward shift in the center of the polyester bottle - chip price. The processing fee has slightly retracted, but the supply of some goods is tight, and the short - term downward space of the polyester bottle - chip market is limited [23]. - **Outlook**: The absolute value fluctuates following raw materials, and the support for the lower limit of the processing fee has increased [23]. 3.1.12 Methanol - **Viewpoint**: There is a long - short game in the coastal area, and methanol fluctuates within a range [25]. - **Main Logic**: On January 27, 2026, methanol fluctuated weakly. The fundamental situation of oversupply in the inland market remains unchanged, and the inventory of ports has returned to the accumulation trend. The coastal market is affected by high port inventories, and the inventory - reduction pressure has further increased. Although the overseas situation is uncertain, the short - term trading may still be mainly based on the overseas situation [26]. - **Outlook**: Fluctuation. The Iranian situation is still undecided, and there is still uncertainty in overseas equipment disruptions. Although the actual support is limited in the fundamentals after excluding overseas factors, the short - term trading is likely to be mainly based on the progress of the overseas situation, and the disk may still have upward space, generally showing a range - bound fluctuation [26]. 3.1.13 Urea - **Viewpoint**: Orders are accumulating before the Spring Festival, and urea fluctuates and consolidates [27]. - **Main Logic**: On January 27, 2026, the supply was sufficient as the daily output increased. The demand side showed that agricultural fertilizer - preparation demand was appropriate as the Spring Festival approached, while industrial demand was mainly cautious and small - scale. The inventory of urea enterprises continued to decline, and the spot market had new orders, with the overall urea market still in consolidation and a slightly stronger tendency [27][30]. - **Outlook**: Fluctuation. Currently, it is the stage of order accumulation for urea enterprises before the Spring Festival. The price is not suitable for significant increases for order collection, while there is emotional and demand support at the lower price level. The short - term market will fluctuate slightly, waiting for the completion of enterprise orders before there may be a change [27]. 3.1.14 LLDPE - **Viewpoint**: Driven by raw - material and macro factors, the upward space of plastics is limited [32]. - **Main Logic**: On January 27, the plastics main contract fluctuated. The oil price fluctuated, and the US crude - oil production was affected by the cold wave but the impact was short - term. The high inventory of US petroleum products was still pessimistic for the fundamentals. The increase in natural - gas prices driven by the cold wave had limited sustainability. After the rebound, the profits of various production methods were repaired, but the spot - price increase was limited. The demand for plastics was in the off - season, and there was still an expectation of macro - consumption policy support in the future [32]. - **Outlook**: Short - term fluctuation [32]. 3.1.15 PP - **Viewpoint**: Slight increase in maintenance, and the upward space of PP is limited [33]. - **Main Logic**: On January 27, the PP main contract fluctuated. The oil - price situation was similar to that of LLDPE, and the profits of various PP production methods were repaired, limiting the upward space. The PP downstream was in the off - season, and the trading volume had recently decreased. After the price rebound, the downstream confidence was slightly restored, and there was still an expectation of macro - consumption policy support. The short - term maintenance support still existed, and future attention should be paid to PDH and the impact of profit changes on maintenance willingness [33]. - **Outlook**: Short - term fluctuation [33]. 3.1.16 PL - **Viewpoint**: Supply is tight, and PL fluctuates [34]. - **Main Logic**: On January 27, the PL main contract fluctuated. The PDH maintenance expectation still provided support. The overall propylene supply was tight, and enterprise inventories were low, with some offers continuing to rise. The downstream buying was active, and the actual - order auction premium still existed, pushing up the transaction center. The short - term powder - material profit fluctuated slightly, and the downstream demand in the off - season provided limited support [34]. - **Outlook**: Short - term fluctuation [34]. 3.1.17 PVC - **Viewpoint**: Supported by low valuation, PVC fluctuates [39]. - **Main Logic**: At the macro level, the tense geopolitical situation may potentially disrupt supply and boost the commodity - market sentiment. At the micro level, the low - price "export - grabbing" of PVC still exists, and the decline in caustic - soda prices has dragged down the comprehensive profit of PVC's chlor - alkali. The upstream production is normal, the downstream start - up will seasonally weaken, the export volume continued to increase last week, the calcium - carbide supply decreased while demand increased, and the caustic - soda supply and demand were weak, with the PVC dynamic cost rising [39]. - **Outlook**: Fluctuation. In the short term, the "export - grabbing" and low - valuation of PVC support the market, but the fundamental pressure has not been reversed, and the market will fluctuate [39]. 3.1.18 Caustic Soda - **Viewpoint**: Profits are significantly compressed, and caustic - soda positions should be closed at low prices [40]. - **Main Logic**: At the macro level, the tense geopolitical situation may potentially disrupt supply and boost the commodity - market sentiment. At the micro level, the weak situation of caustic soda continues, the inventory is still accumulating, and the spot price is under pressure. The alumina marginal - device profit is poor, the Weiqiao's caustic - soda inventory is high, the new alumina production capacity in Guangxi in the first quarter of 2026 will marginally boost the demand for caustic soda, the non - aluminum start - up is weakening, the upstream production has little change, and the short - term liquid - chlorine price is stable but the risk of price decline increases approaching the Spring Festival, with the dynamic cost of Shandong caustic soda rising [40]. - **Outlook**: Weak fluctuation. Before the Spring Festival, upstream enterprises actively reduce inventory, and the caustic - soda spot price is still under pressure. Considering the increasing risk of liquid - chlorine price decline before the Spring Festival, caustic - soda short positions should be closed at low prices [40]. 3.2 Variety Data Monitoring 3.2.1 Energy - Chemical Daily Indicator Monitoring - **Cross - Period Spread**: Data on the cross - period spreads of various varieties such as Brent, Dubai, PX, PTA, MEG, etc. are provided, showing the latest values and changes [42]. - **Basis and Warehouse Receipts**: Information on the basis and warehouse receipts of varieties like asphalt, high - sulfur fuel oil, low - sulfur fuel oil, etc. is presented, including the latest basis values, changes, and the quantity of warehouse receipts [43]. - **Cross - Variety Spread**: The cross - variety spreads of different varieties and different contract months, such as PP - 3MA, TA - EG, L - P, etc., are given, along with their latest values and changes [44]. 3.2.2 Chemical Basis and Spread Monitoring No specific content is provided for this part in the report. 3.3 Commodity Index - The comprehensive index of CITICS Futures commodities on January 27, 2026, was 2,499.53, a decrease of 0.14%. The commodity 20 - index was 2,875.98, a decrease of 0.12%, and the industrial - product index was 2,357.14, a decrease of 0.54% [286]. - The energy index on January 27, 2026, was 1,138.61, with a daily decline of 2.43%, a 5 - day increase of 2.69%, a 1 - month increase of 3.12%, and a year - to - date increase of 4.79% [288].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. 2. Core Views of the Report - For crude oil, with Venezuela's production increase in progress and Iran's situation in a state of low - intensity friction, there is a bottom for oil prices. In the medium - to - long - term, it is still cost - effective to go long when the price is in the shale oil break - even range [2]. - For methanol, the current valuation is low, and the situation will improve marginally next year. Although there is short - term negative pressure, due to geopolitical expectations from Iran, it is feasible to go long on dips [5]. - For urea, the current internal - external price difference has opened the import window, and with the expected improvement in production at the end of January, the fundamental outlook is bearish, so it is recommended to short on rallies [7]. - For rubber, the chemical sector may oscillate or decline after the rise. Rubber is in a weak seasonal period. A neutral - to - bearish approach is recommended, trading short - term according to the market. If RU2605 falls below 16000, a short - selling strategy is suggested, and partial positions can be established for buying NR main contract and shorting RU2609 [13]. - For PVC, the domestic supply is strong while demand is weak. Although short - term factors such as electricity price expectations, pre - export rush, and strong commodity sentiment provide some support, in the medium - term, a short - selling strategy on rallies is recommended before significant industry production cuts [17]. - For pure benzene and styrene, the non - integrated profit of styrene is moderately high, and the upward valuation repair space is limited. The non - integrated profit of styrene has been significantly repaired, and positions can be gradually closed for profit [20]. - For polyethylene, the futures price has fallen. The PE valuation still has downward space, but the pressure on the market from warehouse receipts has been reduced. The supply is relatively stable in the first half of 2026, and demand is in a seasonal trough [23]. - For polypropylene, in the short - term, there is no prominent contradiction under the background of weak supply and demand, and the inventory pressure is high. In the long - term, the contradiction has shifted from cost - driven decline to production mismatch. It is recommended to go long on the PP5 - 9 spread on dips [26]. - For PX, it is expected to maintain a inventory accumulation pattern before the maintenance season. The medium - term outlook is good, and attention should be paid to the opportunity to go long on dips following crude oil [29]. - For PTA, it is expected to enter the Spring Festival inventory accumulation period. There is a risk of processing fee correction in the short - term, but there is still room for valuation increase after the Spring Festival. Attention should be paid to the opportunity to go long on dips [31]. - For ethylene glycol, the overall load is still relatively high, and the port inventory accumulation cycle will continue. In the medium - term, there is an expectation of further profit compression and load reduction, and the valuation needs to be compressed without further production cuts in China [34]. 3.

Rubber - **Market Information**: The chemical sector was oscillating. Butadiene rubber rose, while RU declined. The reasons for the sharp rise in butadiene rubber may be large - scale allocation of long positions in the chemical sector by macro funds, expected increase in the cost of naphtha and butadiene due to the expected naphtha consumption tax policy, and expected reduction in butadiene production, as well as increased marginal exports of butadiene due to spot demand in South Korea. The inventory in East China ports decreased significantly. The long - side of natural rubber RU believes in limited production increase in Southeast Asian rubber forests, seasonal price increase in the second half of the year, and improved demand expectations in China. The short - side believes in uncertain macro expectations, increased supply, and seasonal off - peak demand. As of January 22, 2026, the operating load of all - steel tires of Shandong tire enterprises was 62.70%, 0.14 percentage points lower than last week and 20.70 percentage points higher than the same period last year.

The LL5 - 9 spread was - 31 yuan/ton, a 4 - yuan/ton decrease from the previous month [22]. - **Strategy View**: The futures price has fallen. The PE valuation still has downward space, but the pressure on the market from warehouse receipts has been reduced. The supply is relatively stable in the first half of 2026, and demand is in a seasonal trough [23]. Polypropylene - **Market Information**: Fundamentally, the closing price of the main contract was 6709 yuan/ton, a 28 - yuan/ton decline, and the spot price was 6580 yuan/ton, a 20 - yuan/ton decline.

The PP5 - 9 spread was - 36 yuan/ton, a 5 - yuan/ton increase from the previous month [24][25]. - **Strategy View**: In the short - term, there is no prominent contradiction under the background of weak supply and demand, and the inventory pressure is high. In the long - term, the contradiction has shifted from cost - driven decline to production mismatch. It is recommended to go long on the PP5 - 9 spread on dips [26]. PX - **Market Information**: The PX03 contract fell 236 yuan to 7286 yuan, and the PX CFR fell 27 US dollars to 903 US dollars. The basis was - 15 yuan (+ 20), and the 3 - 5 spread was - 90 yuan (+ 18).

In terms of valuation and cost, the PTA spot processing fee increased by 17 yuan to 455 yuan, and the on - market processing fee decreased by 25 yuan to 478 yuan [30]. - **Strategy View**: It is expected to enter the Spring Festival inventory accumulation period. There is a risk of processing fee correction in the short - term, but there is still room for valuation increase after the Spring Festival. Attention should be paid to the opportunity to go long on dips [31]. Ethylene Glycol - **Market Information**: The EG05 contract fell 56 yuan to 3938 yuan, and the East China spot price fell 44 yuan to 3843 yuan.
