Report Summary 1. Industry Investment Rating No industry investment rating is provided in the report. 2.

With macro - instability and weak methanol prices in Europe and the US, the unilateral direction is hard to determine, but due to low valuation, a long - position strategy at low prices is preferred [2]. - Plastic: For polyethylene, overall inventory is neutral. The 09 basis is around 0 in North China and +120 in East China. Import profit is around - 400 with no further increase. Domestic linear production increased in June. Attention should be paid to LL - HD conversion and US quotes, as well as new device commissioning in 2025 [6]. - PP: Polypropylene inventory is decreasing in both upstream and mid - stream.

However, due to the lack of substantial positive factors at home and abroad and the reduced discount advantage of stock index futures, it is advisable to be cautious about chasing the rise in the short term [7]. 3.
