The import arrival forecast was 15 million tons, and the East China departure volume on July 3 was 1 million tons. Port inventories were 54.5 million tons, a 7.7 - million - ton decrease. The naphtha - based production profit was - 483 yuan, the domestic ethylene - based production profit was - 828 yuan, and the coal - based production profit was 1028 yuan. The cost of ethylene remained unchanged at 850 dollars, and the price of Yulin pit - mouth bituminous coal fines increased to 490 yuan. It is expected that the port inventory reduction will gradually slow down, and the fundamental situation is weak, but it may be stronger in the short - term due to unexpected shutdowns of Saudi Arabian plants [23]

Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant information provided Core Views Crude Oil - Oil prices are likely to loosen significantly but difficult to form a strong trend. Short - term can be treated with a bearish mindset, with WTI running in the range of [64, 67], Brent in [65, 69], and SC in [480, 520]. Pay attention to the opportunity of the monthly spread declining in the arbitrage end, and capture the opportunity of increased volatility in the options end [2]. Methanol - The inland market has limited short - term decline space supported by centralized maintenance in July. The port market faces dual pressures: the expected import in July reaches 1.2 million tons, and the planned maintenance of coastal MTO will weaken olefin demand, with the port expected to turn to slight inventory accumulation in July [5]. Urea - The short - term core driver comes from the emotional resonance of macro - policies and export expectations. The disk still has room to rise above 10,000 but is restricted by demand - side support [7][8]. Polyolefins (LLDPE and PP) - Both PP and PE show a supply contraction trend. The cost side has more valuation repair, and the July balance sheet shows a de - stocking expectation, but there is still an overall pressure. Short - term, pay attention to the support brought by de - stocking, and for PP, it is recommended to opportunistically arrange short positions when the price rebounds to the 7200 - 7300 range [12]. Styrene - The supply of styrene is expected to increase, while the demand is weakening at the margin, and the port inventory is continuously increasing. The basis has dropped significantly. The short - term supply - demand expectation of styrene is weak, and the cost - side support is limited, so it is expected to gradually face pressure [31]. Polyester Industry Chain - **PX**: The short - term is under pressure, but considering the downstream PTA device production in August, the PXN downward space is limited, and the absolute price may fluctuate with oil prices, showing a short - term shock and a medium - term weakening trend [37]. - **PTA**: The short - term absolute price is under pressure, and it is recommended to be bearish when above 4800, conduct TA9 - 1 reverse arbitrage, and short the PTA processing fee at high levels [37]. - **MEG**: The supply - demand is gradually turning to looseness, and the price is under pressure in the short - term. Pay attention to the pressure at 4400 for EG09 and conduct EG9 - 1 reverse arbitrage at high levels [37]. - **Short - fiber**: The supply - demand is weak on both sides, and the absolute price fluctuates weakly with raw materials. It is recommended to operate in the 6350 - 6650 range for PF08 and expand the processing fee at low levels [37]. - **Bottle - chip**: The supply has an improvement expectation, and the absolute price follows the cost side. It is recommended to operate similarly to PTA, conduct PR8 - 9 positive arbitrage at low levels, and expand the processing fee at the lower edge of the 350 - 600 yuan/ton range [37]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Crude Oil - **Prices and Spreads**: On July 7, Brent was at $67.78/barrel, down $0.52 or - 0.76% from July 3; WTI was at $65.98/barrel, down $1.02 or - 1.52%. The spreads such as Brent - WTI remained unchanged at 0.00%, while many monthly spreads and other spreads showed declines [2]. - **Driving Factors**: Supply expansion suppresses market sentiment, and the weakening of macro and geopolitical risk premiums reduces the disturbance to the market. OPEC+ plans to increase production by 548,000 barrels per day in August, and the actual increase from April - July is lower than the target. Demand - side inventory has increased, and the macro - situation has relatively eased [2]. Methanol - **Prices and Spreads**: On July 7, MA2601 closed at 2437, down 0.53% from July 3; MA2509 closed at 2399, down 0.62%.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The methanol market is expected to weaken first and then strengthen in the second half of the year. In the short term, due to the easing of the Iran - Israel geopolitical conflict, the resumption of Iranian plants, and concentrated arrivals in July, the market is entering a inventory - accumulation cycle. However, high overseas gas prices may lead to earlier and more severe winter maintenance in Iran in the fourth quarter, and there is concentrated downstream production capacity coming on - stream in the fourth quarter, which will improve the supply - demand situation [1][8][9]. - For the 01 contract, it is expected to be weak in the third quarter and strong in the fourth quarter. It is recommended to wait for a callback to a low level to look for long - position opportunities in the fourth quarter. In terms of inter - period spreads, the 09 contract is more related to the current inventory - accumulation situation, the 01 contract is more about trading the expectation of Iranian winter maintenance. The 9 - 1 spread is suitable for reverse arbitrage at high levels, and the 1 - 5 spread is suitable for positive arbitrage at low levels [10]. 3. Summary According to the Directory Market News and Important Data - In 2025, the nominal new methanol production capacity is temporarily set at 335 million tons per year, with a nominal capacity growth rate of 4.6%. The production capacity has basically been realized, including the 170 - million - ton - per - year MaOil 3 that started production at the end of 2024 and plans to gradually resume production in July, and the 165 - million - ton - per - year Iranian apadana that started production in April 2025 with a low load [6][19]. - The Iran - Israel geopolitical conflict in mid - June 2025 led to the concentrated shutdown of Iranian plants, but then the conflict eased and the plant operation rate gradually recovered. However, due to high gas prices, it is expected that Iranian winter maintenance will be earlier and more severe this year [6]. - From April to May 2025, the inventory at Jiangsu ports was at a seasonal low, and the Taicang basis once reached 170 yuan/ton. After the Iran - Israel conflict in mid - June, the basis further increased. After the conflict eased, the port inventory increased, but the basis reached 400 yuan/ton, indicating limited tradable inventory. After the paper - goods delivery in June, the port basis dropped to around 160 yuan/ton in July [6][51]. - For new MTO projects, Shandong Lianhong Phase II MTO (with a methanol demand of 1.3 million tons per year) is planned to start production around November 2025, and Guangxi Huayi MTO (with a methanol demand of 2.6 million tons per year) is planned to start production at the end of 2025 or early 2026. Some MTO enterprises plan to reduce production or shut down, and attention should be paid to the load changes of enterprises such as Nanjing Chengzhi, Xingxing, and Fude [6]. Market Analysis - The short - term market is entering an inventory - accumulation cycle due to the resumption of Iranian plants and concentrated arrivals in July. But in the fourth quarter, high overseas gas prices may lead to earlier and more severe Iranian winter maintenance, and concentrated downstream production capacity coming on - stream will improve the supply - demand situation [1][8][9]. Methanol Port Supply - Demand Analysis External New Devices - The original expected overseas new production capacity in 2025 was 5 million tons per year with a growth rate of 6.8%, but due to the Iranian geopolitical conflict, the 1.65 - million - ton - per - year Iranian dena plant's production start was postponed. The new production capacity is now 3.35 million tons per year with a growth rate of 4.6%, and the production capacity has basically been realized [19]. Overseas Existing Devices - In 2025, there were two periods of low operation rates: the Iranian winter maintenance period before March and the period of concentrated shutdowns due to the Iran - Israel conflict in mid - June. After the conflict eased, the Iranian plant operation rate gradually recovered. The overall overseas methanol operation rate is high, with a high rate in Iran and a low rate in non - Iranian regions [24]. - From January to May 2025, China's monthly average methanol imports decreased significantly compared with the same period in previous years. The high gas price in the Netherlands may lead to earlier and more severe Iranian winter maintenance this year [24][26]. - The South American operation rate has been low since the end of 2024, and the volume from South America to China remains low. The operation rates in North America and Europe were low from January to March but rebounded in the second quarter. The New Zealand operation rate has declined since October 2024, and the volume to China has reached a historical low, while the volume from MaOil to China increased significantly in May 2025 [28][32][38]. Internal - External Price Ratio - From April to May 2025, the import window calculated based on China's spot price was briefly opened, but the paper - goods and futures still had a certain discount. The price differences between Europe, America, Southeast Asia and China have decreased, indicating that the port price in China is relatively overvalued [49]. Port Inventory - Due to the previous decline in imports, the inventory at Jiangsu ports was at a seasonal low from April to May, and the Taicang basis increased. After the conflict eased, the inventory increased, but the basis further increased, indicating limited tradable inventory. After the paper - goods delivery in June, the port basis dropped in July [51]. - The inventory at Zhejiang ports and the methanol inventory of MTO enterprises are higher than the same period last year, while the inventory at South China ports is at a seasonal low. With the arrival of imports in July and the expected maintenance of some MTO plants, the ports are expected to continue to accumulate inventory in July [56]. MTO New Situation - For integrated MTO, the three lines of Inner Mongolia Baofeng have all been put into production. For external - purchase MTO, Shandong Lianhong Phase II MTO is planned to start production around November 2025, and Guangxi Huayi MTO is planned to start production at the end of 2025 or early 2026. The new production capacity is more concentrated from the fourth quarter to the end of the year [65]. MTO Existing Devices - The loss of external - purchase MTO reached a historical low in June 2025, and some MTO enterprises plan to reduce production or shut down. The current MTO profit is at a historical low, and the load changes of MTO enterprises will affect the short - term price trend [70]. Regional Price Difference - The port inventory is low, and the port price is relatively overvalued compared with the inland price. The arbitrage windows from Inner Mongolia to East China and from Lunan to Taicang have been opened. After the weakening of MTBE operation, the price difference between Lubei and the Northwest is low. The arbitrage window from Sichuan - Chongqing to East China has also been opened. After the paper - goods delivery, the valuation in East China declined in July [76]. Inland Supply - Demand Analysis Inland Methanol New Situation - In 2025, the planned methanol production capacity is 10.9 million tons, including 2.6 million tons per year of non - integrated methanol (1.1 million tons per year has been realized, but the load of Xinjiang Zhongtai is not high) with a non - integrated nominal capacity growth rate of 2.9% and an actual growth rate of 1.3%, and 10.3 million tons per year of integrated methanol (8.4 million tons per year has been realized, from Baofeng's three lines). The non - integrated production pressure is not large [79]. Inland Existing Device Load - The coal - to - methanol production profit is high, and the operation rate is at a high level. The non - integrated coal - based methanol had a spring maintenance from early March to late April, and the operation rate decreased, but it was higher than the historical average in other periods due to good production profits [85]. - Due to high gas prices, the gas - based methanol is in greater losses and has a low operation rate. The coke - oven gas - based methanol spring maintenance period has passed [89][90]. Non - Integrated Coal - Based - The non - integrated coal - based methanol operation rate is at a high level due to good production profits. Although coal prices may rise seasonally in summer, the production profit of coal - to - methanol is still high, and the operation rate is expected to remain high [85]. Gas - Based - Due to high gas prices, the losses of gas - based methanol have increased, and the operation rate is low. Attention should be paid to the possibility of additional loss - based maintenance of gas - based methanol [89]. Coke - Oven Gas - Based - The spring maintenance period of coke - oven gas - based methanol has passed, and there is a certain correlation between its operation rate and the coking operation rate [90][94]. Inland Inventory - In 2025, the inventory of northwest enterprises is generally lower than that in 2024, indicating strong demand from traditional downstream industries. The inventory of east - China enterprises is also healthy, and the pending orders are satisfactory [98]. Traditional Downstream - Among traditional downstream industries, the cumulative output growth rate of formaldehyde from January to May was 23%, MTBE was 8.6%, while the growth rate of acetic acid and BDO slowed down significantly. The operation rate of MTBE declined in May due to factors such as a decline in export growth and a decrease in gasoline consumption. Although the operation rate of acetic acid is acceptable, the production profit has been compressed. The production and operation of formaldehyde are satisfactory, and the demand for dimethyl ether has been decreasing [101][105]. Traditional Downstream New Situation - In 2025, the new nominal methanol demand converted from traditional downstream industries is 5.59 million tons per year, reaching a historical high. The main contribution comes from the acetic acid production plan, which is postponed to the second half of the year, especially concentrated in the fourth quarter. BDO also has concentrated production in the fourth quarter. The new production of traditional downstream industries in Q3 and Q4 will drive the nominal methanol demand by 1.2% and 3.1% respectively [123]. Summary and Strategy - In the short term, due to the end of the Iranian conflict, the resumption of Iranian plants, high arrival pressure in July, and the expected MTO maintenance, the port market is expected to accumulate inventory in July, and the market is weak. The port price in East China is relatively overvalued compared with the inland price. - However, due to high gas prices, there is an expectation of earlier and more severe Iranian winter maintenance in the fourth quarter, and the expected start - up of Shandong Lianhong Phase II MTO in November and the concentrated production of traditional downstream industries in Q4. There is an opportunity to participate in long positions in the fourth quarter after the methanol price回调s. The 09 contract reflects the weak current situation, and the 01 contract reflects strong expectations. The 9 - 1 spread is suitable for reverse arbitrage at high levels [125].

Morning Comments on Major Varieties Financial - **Stock Index**: The U.S. three major indexes rose. The previous trading day, the stock index rebounded. The electronic sector led the rise, and the coal sector led the decline. The market turnover was 1.33 trillion yuan. It is recommended to be bullish on stock index futures and buy options on stock index options. A - shares have high investment value in the long - term [10]. - **Treasury Bonds**: Treasury bonds showed mixed performance. The central bank's open - market operations at the beginning of the month were mainly net withdrawals, and the market liquidity was relatively loose. The U.S. economic data and policy changes affected the U.S. bond yield. The domestic economic situation supported the Treasury bond futures price [11]. Energy and Chemicals - **Crude Oil**: Oil prices fell slightly at night. The uncertainty of tariffs and the end of the 90 - day tariff suspension on July 9th raised concerns about economic impact and fuel demand. The U.S. labor market was healthy, and the number of U.S. online drilling oil wells decreased [13]. - **Methanol**: Methanol rose 0.88%. The average operating load of domestic coal - to - olefin (methanol) plants decreased, and the coastal methanol inventory increased. It is short - term bullish [2][14]. - **Rubber**: Natural rubber futures fluctuated. The new rubber supply in producing areas was affected by weather, and the raw rubber price was supported. The inventory in Qingdao area fluctuated, and the short - term trend is expected to be weak [15]. - **Polyolefins**: Polyolefins traded in a narrow range. The consumption of polyolefins entered the off - season, and the cost support weakened. It is necessary to focus on the supply contraction effect during the summer device maintenance [16]. - **Glass and Soda Ash**: Glass futures did not continue the rebound, and the inventory decreased slightly. Soda ash futures fell, and the inventory increased. Both are in the inventory - digestion cycle, and attention should be paid to the supply - demand balance [17]. Metals - **Precious Metals**: Precious metal prices fell. The better - than - expected U.S. non - farm employment data reduced the Fed's early - rate - cut expectation. Gold has long - term support but is hesitant to rise at high prices. Attention should be paid to policy uncertainties [18]. - **Copper**: Copper prices closed lower at night. The low concentrate processing fees and low copper prices tested smelting output. The domestic downstream demand was stable overall, and copper prices may fluctuate in a range [19]. - **Zinc**: Zinc prices closed higher at night. The concentrate processing fees continued to rise. The domestic demand showed mixed performance, and zinc prices may fluctuate widely [20]. - **Aluminum**: The main contract of Shanghai aluminum closed down 0.17% at night. The Fed's easing expectation boosted the non - ferrous sector. The alumina market was in a complex situation, and the aluminum ingot inventory increased slightly. Shanghai aluminum may oscillate at a high level [21]. - **Nickel**: The main contract of Shanghai nickel closed up 0.86% at night. The nickel ore supply in Indonesia was tight, and the price of Philippine nickel ore rose. The nickel market had both bullish and bearish factors, and nickel prices may oscillate [22]. - **Lithium Carbonate**: The lithium ore price showed signs of stopping falling. The weekly output of lithium carbonate increased, and the inventory also increased. The lithium market is still in a weak situation [23][24]. Black Metals - **Iron Ore**: The demand for iron ore was supported by the strong production momentum of steel mills. The global iron ore shipment decreased recently, and the port inventory decreased rapidly. Iron ore prices may be supported in the short - term and weaken in the later period [25]. - **Steel**: The supply pressure of steel gradually emerged, and the inventory continued to decrease. The steel export was affected by tariffs and anti - dumping, and the demand for both building materials and plates may weaken in the later period. The steel market may be in a weak and oscillating state [26]. Agricultural Products - **Soybean and Rapeseed Meal**: Soybean and rapeseed meal futures rose at night. The U.S. soybean growth data was mixed, and the domestic oil - mill operation rate increased, which may lead to an increase in soybean meal inventory [27]. - **Oils and Fats**: Palm oil futures were strongly oscillating at night, while soybean and rapeseed oil futures fell slightly. The Malaysian palm oil inventory, production, and export data showed different trends, and the oils and fats may continue to oscillate [28]. Shipping Index - **Container Shipping to Europe**: The EC index oscillated, and the 08 contract rose 0.11%. The market's pessimistic expectation about the peak season of European routes was repaired, and the freight rate may be stable in the later period. Attention should be paid to the shipping companies' price - increase notices and macro - tariff factors [29].

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings No relevant content provided. 2. Core Views of the Report PVC and Caustic Soda - The policy signal of supply - side optimization brings positive long - term expectations for the supply - demand contradiction of PVC, but the short - term supply - demand contradiction remains prominent. The export volume may decline in the third quarter, and the anti - dumping tax decision in mid - July will affect future exports. The PVC inventory is lower than the same period in 23 - 24, and the pressure is limited. The short - term disk is strong, but the upward space should be viewed with caution [6]. - For caustic soda, the supply - side optimization expectation boosts market sentiment, and the price rebounds. The supply - demand contradiction is limited, but high profits stimulate high production. The downstream non - aluminum market is in the off - season, and the alumina purchase price adjustment has limited support for the caustic soda price. After the stimulus news, there is low - price speculative demand. It is recommended to wait and see [6]. Methanol The port's inventory accumulation, Iranian device restart, and MTO device shutdown increase the port's inventory pressure and weaken the basis. The inland market is weak due to high production and the off - season of demand, but the increase in maintenance plans in July eases the supply pressure. Overall, the upward and downward space of methanol is limited, and interval operation is recommended [10]. LLDPE and PP PP and PE are in a state of supply contraction, with increasing PP maintenance losses and low PE import expectations, driving inventory reduction. The weighted valuation has been repaired, and the July balance sheet shows a de - stocking expectation, but there is still overall pressure. In the short - term, attention can be paid to the support brought by de - stocking. For PP, it is recommended to short when the price rebounds to the 7200 - 7300 range [13]. Urea The urea disk is mainly driven by macro - policies. The anti - involution policy stimulates the commodity market, and the export collection and device maintenance support the price. However, weak industrial demand and unclear export quotas limit the upward space. It is necessary to track policy details, agricultural demand progress, and device maintenance dynamics. The disk needs export and downstream demand support to continue to rise [19]. Crude Oil Oil prices are oscillating weakly due to concerns about trade negotiations and OPEC+ supply decisions. The increase in US crude oil inventory further exacerbates supply pressure. The future trend depends on the OPEC+ meeting and trade negotiation results. It is recommended to wait and see, with resistance levels for WTI at [66, 67], Brent at [68, 69], and SC at [510, 520] [77]. Styrene The pure benzene market rebounds weakly, supported by crude oil and affected by the possible resumption of US ethane exports to China. High imports and production suppress the pure benzene price. The styrene market in East China is stable, with a strong basis before the end - of - month paper delivery. High - price transactions are limited. In the medium - term, high profits may lead to over - supply, and attention can be paid to short - selling opportunities [73]. Polyester Industry Chain - PX: The supply - demand is tight in the short - term, but with the PXN repair, some device maintenance may be postponed. The PX drive is limited, and it is expected to oscillate at a high level in the short - term, with the PX09 oscillating in the 6600 - 6900 range [81]. - PTA: The supply - demand is expected to weaken in July, and the basis has weakened. The absolute price is under pressure but supported by raw materials. It is recommended to short at the upper limit of the 4600 - 4900 range and conduct a rolling reverse spread for TA9 - 1 [81]. - Ethylene Glycol: The supply is increasing, and the supply - demand is turning to be loose. The short - term price is expected to oscillate. It is recommended to conduct a reverse spread for EG9 - 1 at high prices [81]. - Short - fiber: The supply - demand is weak. The absolute price is supported by raw materials, and the processing fee has been repaired to a limited extent. PF should be operated similarly to PTA, and the processing fee can be expanded at a low level [81]. - Bottle - chip: The supply - demand is expected to improve. The processing fee is bottoming out, and the absolute price follows the cost. It is recommended to operate PR similarly to PTA, conduct a positive spread for PR8 - 9 at low prices, and expand the processing fee at the lower limit of the 350 - 600 yuan/ton range [81]. 3. Summaries According to Relevant Catalogs PVC and Caustic Soda - **Price Changes**: The price of East China calcium - carbide - based PVC increased by 0.4% on July 3 compared to July 2, while the price of East China ethylene - based PVC remained unchanged.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Views of the Report - Geopolitical risks have reignited, and oil prices have restarted their upward trend. The current fundamentals remain in a tight - balance, and it is not advisable to short - sell oil prices rashly even with the OPEC meeting approaching. Investors are advised to control risks and adopt a wait - and - see approach [2]. - For methanol, it has returned to its own fundamentals with low inventory and strong spot performance. However, the high valuation of methanol spot has compressed downstream profits. It is expected that imports in August will be limited, and it is difficult for ports to accumulate large - scale inventories before the 09 contract. The overall short - term contradiction is limited, and it is recommended to wait and see or consider long - position opportunities on dips [4]. - For urea, with more maintenance devices and falling domestic demand, it has entered a range - bound operation. Although exports are ongoing and port inventories are rising, domestic demand is entering the off - season. In the future, supply will decline, and demand and exports are expected to improve slightly. It is advisable to consider short - term long - position opportunities on dips [6]. - For rubber, NR and RU have shifted from a stagnant - rise to a decline. Bulls focus on potential production cuts, while bears are concerned about weak demand. Short - term trading should adopt a neutral approach, and a long - term bullish view can be maintained for the second half of the year. Attention should be paid to the band - trading opportunity of going long on RU2601 and shorting on RU2509 [10][12]. - For PVC, the cost of calcium carbide has decreased, and both supply and demand are weak. The main logic of the market is inventory reduction, and the fundamentals are under pressure. Although it has rebounded recently, it will still face pressure in the future [14]. - For styrene, the cost of pure benzene has increased, supply has risen, and demand is in the off - season. The short - term geopolitical impact has subsided, and the price is expected to be volatile and bearish [17]. - For polyethylene, the short - term contradiction has shifted from cost - driven decline to inventory reduction driven by high - maintenance. With no new production capacity planned in July, the price is expected to remain volatile [19]. - For polypropylene, the profit of Shandong refineries has rebounded, and the supply of propylene is expected to increase. Demand is in the off - season, and the price is expected to be bearish in June [20]. - For PX, the maintenance season has ended, and the load remains high. In the third quarter, PX is expected to continue to reduce inventories due to new PTA device production. After the geopolitical situation eases, it is advisable to consider long - position opportunities on dips following the trend of crude oil [22][23]. - For PTA, the load remains stable, and downstream load has decreased. In the future, supply is expected to decrease slightly, and demand is under slight pressure. After the geopolitical situation eases, it is advisable to consider long - position opportunities on dips following the trend of PX [24]. - For ethylene glycol, the supply load has decreased, and the downstream load is expected to decline from its high level. The inventory reduction at ports is expected to slow down. The fundamentals are weak, and it is advisable to consider short - position opportunities in the future [25]. 3.
