Report Industry Investment Rating - The industry of energy and chemicals is maintained with a weak outlook [1] Core Viewpoints of the Report - The geopolitical premium in crude oil due to the Iran situation is facing a correction, and supply surplus is driving the price down. Chemicals are generally under pressure due to high supply, high inventory, and weak demand [2][3] Summary by Relevant Catalogs Crude Oil - Logic: The Iran geopolitical sentiment peaked on January 14 and reversed on January 15. The premium is being unwound, and supply surplus is pushing the price down [2][3] - Technical analysis: Daily and hourly charts show a downward structure. Hold short - positions with a stop - loss at 447, and there is a chance for a second short - entry [3][4] Asphalt - Logic: Weak supply - demand fundamentals in the off - season, the Venezuela situation is cooling, and the cost center is likely to shift down as the geopolitical premium in crude oil fades [8] - Technical analysis: Hourly chart shows a short - term oscillation. Temporarily hold off on trading [8] Styrene - Logic: Recent supply - demand improvement supports the price, but there are signs of a potential peak. After a breakdown, focus on short opportunities in pure benzene [10] - Technical analysis: Hourly chart shows a short - term upward structure with a potential top. The short - term support is at 7200 (03 contract). Temporarily hold off on trading and wait for a breakdown to short on rebounds [10][12] Pure Benzene - Logic: The price is pushed up by hedging purchases, but high inventory and potential pressure from crude oil price drops mean not to chase high prices [13] - Technical analysis: Hourly chart shows a short - term upward structure with a potential top. The short - term support is at 5580 (03 contract), and the 15 - minute support is at 515. Temporarily hold off on trading and look for short opportunities on rebounds after a 15 - minute breakdown [13] Rubber - Logic: No supply - side speculation before the new tapping season, weak demand due to high tire inventory, and high imports in Qingdao. It moves passively and weaker than synthetic rubber [16] - Technical analysis: Daily chart shows a medium - term oscillation, and the hourly chart shows a short - term decline. Look for short opportunities after a rebound, with a short - term pressure at 15900 [16] Synthetic Rubber - Logic: The cost - end crude oil may peak soon, and the driving logic for the previous rise is breaking down. The supply of butadiene is high, and synthetic rubber will face cost pressure [19][22] - Technical analysis: Daily chart shows a medium - term upward structure, and the hourly chart shows a short - term decline. Hold short - positions with a stop - loss at 11950 and look for a second short - entry at night [22] PX - Logic: The price rose due to early - stage capital inflow but is now facing a short - term correction due to increased supply, weak downstream acceptance, and a lower cost center. Wait for a second low - entry opportunity in the medium - term [26] - Technical analysis: Daily chart shows a medium - term upward structure, and the hourly chart shows a short - term decline. Temporarily hold off on trading during this short - term decline [26] PTA - Logic: High supply, weak downstream acceptance in the off - season, and a lower cost center lead to a short - term correction [27] - Technical analysis: Daily chart shows a medium - term upward structure, and the hourly chart shows a short - term decline. Temporarily hold off on trading [29] PP - Logic: The olefin industry chain has a weak fundamental outlook. It lacks a long - side driver and is suitable for a hedging strategy of long aromatics (PX, PTA) and short olefins [31] - Technical analysis: Hourly chart shows a short - term decline. Temporarily hold off on trading and look for short opportunities after a rebound [31] Methanol - Logic: Geopolitical premium is being unwound, high domestic supply, falling coal prices, high port inventory, and negative demand feedback [34] - Technical analysis: Daily and hourly charts show a decline. Look for short - entry opportunities on rebounds with a stop - loss at 2255 [34] PVC - Logic: High supply, high inventory, and weak demand. The differential electricity price policy in Shaanxi may reduce calcium carbide production, and the cancellation of export tax - rebate has a short - term positive and long - term negative impact [38] - Technical analysis: Daily chart shows a medium - term decline, and the hourly chart shows a short - term oscillation. Temporarily hold off on trading and look for short opportunities on rebounds in the 15 - minute cycle [38] Ethylene Glycol - Logic: High supply, weak demand in the off - season, and increasing port inventory lead to a downward - driving fundamental situation [39] - Technical analysis: Daily and hourly charts show a decline. Hold short - positions with a take - profit at 3770 [41] Plastic - Logic: The olefin industry chain has a weak fundamental outlook. It lacks a long - side driver and is suitable for a hedging strategy of long aromatics (PX, PTA) and short olefins [44] - Technical analysis: Daily and hourly charts show a decline. Wait for a rebound and then a short - entry signal [44] Soda Ash - Logic: High production, high inventory, and weak demand. There may be a rush - to - export market before April, but the export pressure will increase after April. Look for short opportunities after a rebound [46] - Technical analysis: Hourly chart shows a short - term decline. Temporarily hold off on trading and look for short opportunities on rebounds in the 15 - minute cycle [46] Caustic Soda - Logic: High supply, high inventory, and weak demand. The supply pressure remains high, and the downward trend is hard to reverse [50] - Technical analysis: Hourly chart shows a short - term decline. Temporarily hold off on trading and do not bottom - fish before the structure turns bullish [50]

Other metals had gains of less than 1% [1] - Precious metals saw significant movements, with COMEX gold rising by 2.13% to a peak of $4891.1 per ounce, nearing the $4900 mark, setting a new historical high. COMEX silver fell by 0.18%, while domestic gold rose by 3.69% to a peak of 1101.92 yuan per gram, also setting a new historical high. Domestic silver decreased by 0.11% [1] Macro Environment - The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology announced plans to promote collaborative innovation in advanced materials across the entire supply chain, aiming to enhance the innovation capacity and development efficiency of the new materials industry [3] - The number of 5G users in China has exceeded 1.2 billion, with 483.8 million 5G base stations built, covering all towns and 95% of administrative villages. The country is also advancing in 6G technology, having completed the first phase of technical trials and starting the second phase [4] - The People's Bank of China conducted a net injection of 122.7 billion yuan through reverse repos, maintaining the operation rate at 1.40% [5] Oil Market - Both domestic and international oil prices fell, with U.S. oil down by 0.93% and Brent oil down by 0.92%. The U.S. President indicated that Venezuelan oil could help lower U.S. oil prices, while EIA forecasts a moderate recovery in crack spreads by 2026, with increasing refined oil inventories exerting short-term downward pressure on crude oil prices [8]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating There is no information about the industry investment rating in the provided report. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The overall trend of the energy - chemical commodities market is volatile. Factors such as geopolitical issues (e.g., Trump's tariff threats over Greenland), weather conditions, and supply - demand relationships in different sectors are influencing the prices of various commodities [1][3][5]. - For specific commodities, the prices of crude oil, fuel oil, asphalt, polyester, rubber, methanol, polyolefins, and polyvinyl chloride are all expected to be in a state of oscillation in the short - term [1][3][5]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Research Views - **Crude Oil**: On Tuesday, WTI February contract closed up $0.90 to $60.34 per barrel, a 1.51% increase; Brent March contract closed up $0.98 to $64.92 per barrel, a 1.53% increase; SC2603 closed at 442.5 yuan per barrel, up 4 yuan per barrel, a 0.91% increase. Trump's tariff threats over Greenland and cold weather in the US are affecting the oil price. The market should pay attention to the persistence of cold weather and potential well - freezing phenomena, as well as the linkage between oil and gas prices [1]. - **Fuel Oil**: On Tuesday, the main contract of fuel oil (FU2603) on the Shanghai Futures Exchange closed down 1.72% at 2512 yuan per ton; the main contract of low - sulfur fuel oil (LU2603) closed down 0.23% at 3078 yuan per ton. The supply of low - sulfur fuel oil is sufficient in January, and the downstream demand is supported. The high - sulfur fuel oil market structure has strengthened slightly, but the inflow of Venezuelan resources may have a negative impact. The absolute prices of FU and LU are likely to follow the oil price, with FU having higher volatility [3]. - **Asphalt**: On Tuesday, the main contract of asphalt (BU2602) on the Shanghai Futures Exchange closed down 0.03% at 3139 yuan per ton. The concern about the raw material has eased slightly this week. The unrest in Iran is the main driver of asphalt price fluctuations. The demand will shrink with the arrival of rain and snow, and the market is in a game between "weak demand reality" and "strong cost expectation" [3]. - **Polyester**: TA605 closed at 5144 yuan per ton on Tuesday, up 2.27%; EG2605 closed at 3674 yuan per ton, down 2.16%. The production and sales of polyester yarn in the Yangtze River Delta are weak. Some polyester devices have been restarted or shut down for maintenance. PX supply has shrunk, and its price has support. TA is expected to follow the raw material price, and EG is expected to oscillate at a low level [3][5]. - **Rubber**: On Tuesday, the main contract of natural rubber (RU2605) closed down 125 yuan per ton to 15620 yuan per ton, and the main contract of 20 - number rubber (NR) closed down 105 yuan per ton to 12550 yuan per ton. The overseas production season is coming to an end, tire companies are restocking, and the price of rubber is expected to oscillate widely in the short - term [5]. - **Methanol**: On Tuesday, the spot price in Taicang was 2198 yuan per ton. The domestic supply is at a high - level oscillation, and the Iranian supply is low. The MTO operating load has weakened. The methanol price is expected to maintain a bottom - level oscillation, and the market will focus on the restart plan of Ningbo Fude's device [5]. - **Polyolefins**: On Tuesday, the mainstream price of East China drawstring PP was 6330 - 6500 yuan per ton. In January, the supply will decrease slightly, and the demand will weaken in the second half of the month. The inventory is expected to rise, and the polyolefin price will continue to oscillate at the bottom [7]. - **Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)**: On Tuesday, the price of PVC in East, North, and South China changed little. The supply is at a high - level oscillation, the domestic demand is slowing down, and the price is expected to maintain a bottom - level oscillation [7][8]. 3.2 Daily Data Monitoring - The report provides the daily data of various energy - chemical commodities, including spot price, futures price, basis, basis rate, and their changes. For example, the spot price of crude oil (SC) was 432.10 yuan per barrel on January 20, the futures price was 442.60 yuan per barrel, and the basis was - 6.40 yuan per barrel [9]. 3.3 Market News - Trump threatened to impose additional 10% tariffs on imports from multiple European countries starting from February 1st, and 25% from June 1st if no agreement on Greenland is reached. These tariff threats may lead to a slowdown in global economic growth and a reduction in oil demand. The EU is formulating a plan to support Arctic security, and European leaders oppose Trump's tariff threats and will counter - attack if the tariffs are implemented [11]. 3.4 Chart Analysis The report presents a series of charts to analyze the prices, basis, inter - period contract spreads, inter - variety spreads, and production profits of various energy - chemical commodities, including the main contract prices, basis, spreads between different contracts, and spreads between different varieties of crude oil, fuel oil, asphalt, and other commodities [12][27][35][49][55]. 3.5 Team Member Introduction - The research team includes the deputy director of the research institute, Zhong Meiyan, with over a decade of research experience in the futures derivatives market; the energy - chemical research director, Du Bingqin, with in - depth research on the energy industry; the natural rubber/polyester analyst, Di Yilin, who is good at data analysis; and the methanol/propylene/pure benzene PE/PP/PVC analyst, Peng Haibo, with rich experience in energy - chemical spot - futures trading [61][62][63][64].

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content Group 2: Core Views of the Report - The prices of oil and gas are rising, and due to the cold snap, coal prices are also strong, providing cost support for chemicals. Chemicals also have some industry benefits. Before the Spring Festival, there is an expectation of spring maintenance, and the market anticipates the possible "Golden March and Silver April" consumption peak after the Spring Festival. The futures prices have limited adjustment space and will generally fluctuate [2]. - Crude oil still has the possibility of geopolitical risks, and chemicals should be treated with a fluctuating mindset [3]. Group 3: Summary by Variety Crude Oil - **View**: Geopolitical premium fluctuates, and oil prices continue to oscillate. Supply pressure persists, but geopolitical premium may fluctuate. It should be viewed as oscillating in the short - term [3][6]. - **Main Logic**: Global on - land crude oil inventories have been accumulating, overseas refined oil inventories are under pressure, and the supply surplus pattern remains. The shutdown of Kazakhstan's Tengiz oilfield supports the Western market. Geopolitics is the short - term focus, and previous military actions between Iran and Israel had little impact on oil supply. If relevant tail risks materialize, oil prices are likely to rise and then fall. If the Iranian situation eases, oil prices may approach the lower limit of the oscillation range [6]. Asphalt - **View**: The high valuation of asphalt is gradually being revised downward, and it is expected to oscillate weakly in the medium - term [3][6][7]. - **Main Logic**: OPEC+ will suspend production increases in Q1, and the partial lifting of sanctions on Venezuela will increase its oil production and exports. The current asphalt market is still trading the reduction of discounts due to the US selling Venezuelan oil at the current price, which supports asphalt costs. However, it will lead to abundant long - term supply, which is a major negative for asphalt. The US - Iran situation has not further escalated, and the decline in crude oil has led to the downward revision of asphalt's high valuation. The supply and demand of asphalt are both weak, and inventory accumulation pressure is high [6]. High - Sulfur Fuel Oil - **View**: The geopolitical premium of fuel oil has declined, and it is expected to oscillate. Venezuelan oil production growth expectations will long - term pressure high - sulfur fuel oil, and short - term attention should be paid to the geopolitical situation in the Middle East [3][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 pressures high - sulfur fuel oil in the long - term. The US - Iran situation has temporarily cooled, and the geopolitical premium of fuel oil has significantly declined. Although Iraq may resume fuel - oil power generation in the short - 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 long - term negatives for high - sulfur fuel oil. The three driving forces supporting high - sulfur fuel oil are showing a cooling trend, but the expansion of the asphalt - fuel oil spread may increase the processing demand for fuel oil [7]. Low - Sulfur Fuel Oil - **View**: The futures price of low - sulfur fuel oil fluctuates widely and is expected to oscillate. It is affected by the substitution of green fuels and high - sulfur fuels, with limited demand space, but its current valuation is low and it follows crude - oil fluctuations [3][9]. - **Main Logic**: The futures price of low - sulfur fuel oil follows crude - oil fluctuations. The expected release of Venezuelan oil has led to an increase in the Brent - Dubai crude oil spread and a rebound in the low - high sulfur spread. Low - sulfur fuel oil has strong product attributes and is supported. However, it faces negative factors such as a decline in shipping demand, green - energy substitution, and high - sulfur substitution. The export tax - refund rate of low - sulfur fuel oil has an advantage over refined oil, and the pressure of reducing oil and increasing chemicals is likely to be transmitted to low - sulfur fuel oil, resulting in a trend of increasing supply and decreasing demand [9]. PX - **View**: The bottom of polyester load is relatively confirmed, and PX's profitability has stabilized. In the short - term, PX prices will seek upward drivers without new negatives, and PXN is expected to remain in the range of [300, 350] dollars/ton [10][11]. - **Main Logic**: Crude - oil prices oscillate in a range, naphtha remains stagnant, and PX strengthened significantly in the afternoon. Macroeconomic利好 policies were successively introduced, boosting market sentiment. There were rumors of individual factories' far - month maintenance plans, which stimulated the market. The bottom of polyester's new - year start - up is confirmed, and PTA's good profitability supports the upstream, so PX's profitability has stabilized after half a month of correction [11]. PTA - **View**: Funds have flowed in again, and TA's profit has expanded. It is expected to oscillate strongly in the short - term, and the TA05 - 09 maintains a positive - spread logic [11][12]. - **Main Logic**: International oil prices are tepid, the commodity - market sentiment is positive, and TA rose rapidly in the afternoon with a large increase in positions and inflow of funds. Fundamentally, the low point of downstream polyester load is confirmed, and demand has bottomed out. Without new negatives, prices are expected to be warm in the short - term. With the rapid rise of futures prices, the basis is expected to be weak overall [12]. Pure Benzene - **View**: Port de - stocking is obvious, and pure benzene oscillates strongly. Short - term high inventory may limit the increase, but there will be a quarterly improvement [13][15]. - **Main Logic**: The East - China pure - benzene port has de - stocked for the first time in two months. Low - price pure benzene and strong downstream styrene have created a market waiting for a rise. Downstream profit - locking has pushed up the price of pure benzene. There is a possibility of the US canceling the 15% tariff on South Korean pure benzene. In the chemical industry, pure benzene, with a relatively low valuation, has become a long - position choice for funds [15]. Styrene - **View**: Supply and demand are tight, and styrene has been oscillating strongly recently. If there is no unexpected significant increase in supply or major negative news from crude oil, it will continue to oscillate strongly in the short - term under the repeated stimulation of exports [16]. - **Main Logic**: The strength of styrene comes from export disturbances, geopolitical disturbances leading to rising crude - oil prices, and a positive overall commodity atmosphere. The expected inventory accumulation in January has been reversed, and the non - integrated device profit is relatively high. Before the restart of Sinochem Quanzhou in late January, the supply - demand pattern is favorable [16]. Ethylene Glycol - **View**: The main - port inventory continues to accumulate, and ethylene glycol is in a difficult situation. In the short - term, prices will remain in a range, and the long - term inventory - accumulation pressure is still large, so the rebound height is limited [17][18]. - **Main Logic**: Overseas imports are still large, and there is obvious seasonal inventory - accumulation pressure. Domestic supply is shrinking slowly, some port inventories are tight, and polyester factories are gradually reducing production, making it difficult to reverse the weak pattern [18]. Short - Fiber - **View**: Short - fiber moderately follows the rise, and profits are compressed. Prices will follow the upstream for adjustment, and processing fees are under some pressure [19][20]. - **Main Logic**: Upstream polyester raw materials have risen sharply, and short - fiber sales have improved slightly. However, due to the strong short - term cost, short - fiber profits are under pressure, and the absolute price is expected to moderately follow the rise [20]. Polyester Bottle - Chip - **View**: Supply continues to compress, and processing fees have a repair expectation. The absolute value will follow the raw materials, and the support for processing fees at the bottom has increased [21]. - **Main Logic**: Upstream polyester raw materials rose in the afternoon, and polyester bottle - chips followed the cost increase. The trading atmosphere was good, and the price of polyester bottle - chips will mainly follow the upstream in the short - term, with support for processing fees at the bottom [21]. Methanol - **View**: The inland area remains weak, and there is a long - short game in the coastal area. Methanol will oscillate in a range in the short - term [24]. - **Main Logic**: The inland market has a pattern of strong supply and weak demand, and producers are actively reducing prices to clear inventory. Coastal port high - inventory pressure is significant, and the shutdown of the Zhejiang Xingxing device has further weakened the MTO external - procurement demand. Short - term negatives are stronger than the positives of overseas macro uncertainties [24]. Urea - **View**: New orders at low prices have improved, and urea has stabilized and oscillated. The market has no substantial guiding information, and the trading rhythm is adjusted according to prices. In the short - term, the fundamentals have little change, and it will oscillate [25]. - **Main Logic**: The daily production of urea remains at a high level, and the supply of goods is sufficient. The demand for compound fertilizers and other industries is relatively rigid, and the agricultural demand in the Jiangsu and Anhui regions is also advancing. After several days of price decline, new orders at low prices have improved, and the market has temporarily stabilized [25]. LLDPE (Plastic) - **View**: Maintenance has slightly decreased, and plastic will oscillate. In the short - term, it will oscillate [29]. - **Main Logic**: Oil prices oscillate, and the supply - surplus pattern remains. The low production in Kazakhstan supports the Western market, and geopolitics is the short - term focus. Fundamentally, the pressure has been released, and after the rebound, the profits of various production methods have been repaired. Maintenance has decreased recently, and demand is in the off - season. However, considering the expected macro - consumption policy support and the improvement in inventory and downstream confidence, the downside space is limited [29]. PP - **View**: Maintenance and macro - expectations still provide support, and PP should be viewed as oscillating. It will oscillate in the short - term [30]. - **Main Logic**: Oil prices oscillate, and the supply - surplus pattern remains. The low production in Kazakhstan supports the Western market, and geopolitics is the short - term focus. The profits of various PP production methods have been repaired, and the upside space is limited. The downstream is in the off - season, and trading volume has decreased recently. However, considering the expected macro - consumption policy support and short - term maintenance support, the downside space is limited [30]. PL - **View**: Supply has tightened, and PL will oscillate. It will oscillate in the short - term [31]. - **Main Logic**: The PDH maintenance expectation still provides support. Individual domestic devices have stopped, and the market supply has tightened again. However, downstream follow - up is weak, suppressing the overall buying rhythm. Enterprises mainly maintain stable prices for sales, and the actual - order price range has little change. Short - term powder profits fluctuate slightly, and downstream demand support in the off - season is limited [31]. PVC - **View**: "Rushing for exports" provides support, and the downside space should be carefully considered. It is expected to oscillate. The cancellation of export tax - refunds and the expected increase in the external - market price may promote short - term export - rushing, but in the long - term, the fundamentals are still under pressure, and the market will be oscillating [34]. - **Main Logic**: At the macro - level, the export tax - refund for PVC will be cancelled on April 1st. At the micro - level, short - term "rushing for exports" may promote de - stocking, but long - term supply - demand expectations are still under pressure. Profits have improved, boosting the production willingness of marginal enterprises. Downstream start - up is seasonally weak, and restocking willingness is poor. Upstream price increases are not conducive to export orders, and the sustainability of this week's export orders needs to be observed. The supply of calcium carbide has decreased while demand has increased, and its price may be boosted. The supply - demand of caustic soda is weak, and its profit is squeezed, and the price is under pressure [34]. Caustic Soda - **View**: It has a low valuation and weak expectations, and it is running weakly. Inventory pressure is large, and with stable costs, profits may still be squeezed, and the market will run weakly [35]. - **Main Logic**: The weak reality of caustic soda continues, and inventory is still accumulating. Alumina marginal - device profits are poor, and production cuts may be slow. Weiqiao's caustic - soda inventory is high, and the purchase price has been lowered again. The commissioning of 4.8 million tons of alumina in Guangxi in Q1 2026 will marginally boost caustic - soda demand. Non - aluminum start - up is weakening, and the restocking willingness of the middle and lower reaches is not high. Upstream start - up has changed little, and caustic - soda production remains at a historical high. The "rushing for exports" of epichlorohydrin supports the price of liquid chlorine, and the short - term cost of caustic soda may be stable [35].
