1. Report Industry Investment Rating The report does not mention the industry investment rating. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The price of crude oil continues to be strong due to a decrease in Russian crude oil exports and rising VLCC freight rates. It is expected to continue to fluctuate in the short - term. The chemical industry shows a demand for stopping the decline and stabilizing under the situation of crude oil fluctuations [2][3]. - The chemical products in the industry have different trends. Some products may stop falling and stabilize, while others continue to be under pressure due to factors such as supply - demand relationships and cost [3][4]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Market Situation and Logic - **Crude Oil**: Supply pressure persists, and geopolitical risks remain. API data shows an increase in US crude oil inventories last week, but the reduction in refined oil inventories and strong crack spreads support demand. OPEC+ plans to pause production increases in Q1 2026, but the current situation of continuous inventory accumulation is difficult to change, so the price fluctuates [8]. - **Chemical Industry**: Affected by the crude oil market, most chemical products are in a state of shock. Some products are facing cost and supply - demand pressures, while others have certain profit supports [3][4]. 3.2 Variety Analysis - **Asphalt**: With the weakening of crude oil and rebar, the asphalt futures price lacks support. The high - valued premium is starting to decline, and it is expected that the absolute price is over - valued and the monthly spread may decline [8]. - **High - Sulfur Fuel Oil**: As crude oil weakens, the fuel oil price is weak. Although the supply in the Asia - Pacific region may decrease in November, the demand is still weak, and attention should be paid to the development of the Russia - Ukraine conflict [8]. - **Low - Sulfur Fuel Oil**: It follows the weak trend of crude oil. Facing factors such as the decline in shipping demand and the substitution of green energy, it has a low valuation and is expected to fluctuate with crude oil [9][10]. - **PX**: The supply has not decreased, and there is support for profits under the situation of strong supply and demand. It is expected to return to the cost and fundamental pricing logic in the short - term and maintain range consolidation [11]. - **PTA**: The market is waiting and watching, and there is a bottom - support for short - term profits. It is expected that the price will fluctuate with cost and macro - sentiment, and there is a weakening expectation in the medium - term [11]. - **Pure Benzene**: It is running weakly. The pure benzene - naphtha price spread is at a low level in recent years, and there is an expectation of inventory accumulation. Although there are some supply disturbances, the upward drive is still insufficient [11][12]. - **Styrene**: There is still a risk of inventory over - filling, and it is expected to fluctuate weakly. The cost - side has some disturbances, but it does not reverse the situation, and the follow - up rhythm depends on crude oil [13]. - **Ethylene Glycol**: Under the resonance of cost and fundamentals, it is in a downward trend, and the medium - term supply surplus problem is difficult to solve. The price is under pressure in the short - term [15][16]. - **Short - Fiber**: Downstream factories are digesting previous stockpiles, and the processing fee is expected to be compressed to a certain extent. The price follows the cost and fluctuates weakly [19][20]. - **Bottle Chip**: Affected by cost, the supply - demand drive is limited. The price follows the raw materials, and the support for the processing fee below is enhanced [21]. - **Methanol**: After continuous decline, it is not advisable to chase short positions. It is expected to fluctuate in the short - term, and there is still value in going long at a low level [23][26]. - **Urea**: There is a co - existence of high - inventory suppression and cost support. It is expected to fluctuate narrowly in the short - term, and attention should be paid to the information of the Nanjing Phosphorus and Compound Fertilizer Conference [24]. - **Plastic**: The OPEC+ production increase is cautious. Considering the fundamentals and profit situation, it is expected to fluctuate within a range [27][28]. - **PP**: There is still some support on the cost side. It is expected to fluctuate within a range, and attention should be paid to the change and sustainability of maintenance [28][29]. - **PL**: The improvement in downstream transactions is limited. It is expected to fluctuate in the short - term [29]. - **PVC**: The market sentiment has cooled down, and the fundamentals are under pressure. It is expected to fluctuate weakly, and the cost of integrated production in the northwest may support the market [31]. - **Caustic Soda**: Supply and demand are both increasing, and the cost is moving up. The market is expected to fluctuate weakly, and the trading strategy is to go short on rallies [31]. 3.3 Variety Data Monitoring - **Energy and Chemical Daily Index Monitoring**: The report provides data on inter - period spreads, basis, and cross - variety spreads of various energy and chemical products, including Brent, Dubai, PX, PTA, etc. [33][34][35]. - **Chemical Basis and Spread Monitoring**: Although the report lists various chemicals such as methanol, urea, etc., specific content is not fully presented in the provided text. - **Commodity Index**: The comprehensive index, commodity 20 index, and industrial product index all show a decline. The energy index also shows a downward trend, with a daily decline of 1.07%, a 5 - day decline of 0.25%, a 1 - month decline of 5.01%, and a decline of 5.08% since the beginning of the year [274][276].

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. Core View of the Report - Overseas, the divergence within the Fed has raised doubts about another rate cut this year, and risk aversion has led investors to seek the dollar as a safe - haven, causing the dollar index to strengthen. Large banks have warned of a potential stock market pullback, reflecting growing concerns about over - valuation, which has significantly cooled global risk appetite. Domestically, China's manufacturing sentiment declined in October, and economic growth slowed, dampening optimistic expectations. The strengthening dollar has weakened the RMB exchange rate in the short term, affecting domestic risk appetite. However, the Fourth Plenary Session of the CPC has enhanced policy stimulus expectations, which helps boost domestic risk appetite. The short - term upward macro - drive has weakened, and future attention should be paid to domestic economic growth and the implementation of incremental policies [2]. Summary by Related Catalogs Macro Finance - **Stock Index**: Affected by sectors such as energy metals, precious metals, and industrial metals, the domestic stock market declined. With the decline in China's manufacturing sentiment in October and economic slowdown, along with the short - term weakening of the RMB due to the strong dollar, the short - term macro - upward drive has weakened. After the Fourth Plenary Session of the CPC, policy stimulus expectations have increased. It is recommended to observe cautiously in the short term [2][3]. - **Treasury Bonds**: Treasury bonds are expected to oscillate and rebound in the short term, and it is advisable to go long cautiously [2]. - **Commodity Sector**: - **Black Metals**: They are expected to oscillate in the short term, and it is recommended to observe cautiously [2]. - **Non - ferrous Metals**: They are expected to oscillate in the short term, and it is recommended to observe cautiously [2]. - **Energy and Chemicals**: They are expected to oscillate in the short term, and it is advisable to go long cautiously [2]. - **Precious Metals**: After a short - term high - level correction, they are expected to adjust in the short term while maintaining a long - term upward trend. It is recommended to observe in the short term and buy on dips in the long term [2][3]. Black Metals - **Steel**: On Tuesday, the domestic steel futures and spot markets oscillated and declined. With a lack of macro - drive, the market is mainly focused on fundamental logic. Although the apparent consumption of the five major steel products continued to rise last week, it is generally expected that the demand peak in the second half of the year has passed. Due to losses in some varieties, the steel production capacity release has weakened, and with more environmental protection restrictions, supply may contract further. The steel market is expected to oscillate within a range in the short term [4]. - **Iron Ore**: On Tuesday, the decline in iron ore futures and spot prices widened. With the continuous narrowing of steel mill profits and the upgrading of environmental protection restrictions, pig iron production continued to decline, and steel mill ore inventories also decreased. The global iron ore arrivals this week increased by 1.2298 million tons to 3.3141 million tons, and port inventories increased by 167,000 tons on Monday. The supply pressure remains high, and iron ore prices are expected to fall further [6]. - **Silicon Manganese/Silicon Iron**: On Tuesday, the spot price of silicon manganese declined slightly, while that of silicon iron remained flat, and the futures prices also declined slightly. The production of the five major steel products increased slightly, and the demand for ferroalloys is acceptable. The supply of silicon manganese shows that the national capacity utilization rate is 42.99%, a slight decrease from last week, and the daily output increased by 45 tons. The prices of silicon iron in the main production areas are stable, and the raw material prices are also stable. The prices of silicon iron and silicon manganese futures are expected to continue to oscillate within a range [7]. Non - ferrous Metals and New Energy - **Copper**: The US manufacturing PMI in October was lower than expected, and the US copper inventory has reached a historical high, restricting future import demand. There are concerns about the restart of a Panamanian copper mine. In China, the copper de - stocking is not as expected, and the social inventory is at a relatively high level. However, the shutdown of Indonesia's second - largest copper mine intensifies the global copper shortage, supporting the futures price, which is expected to oscillate at a high level in the short term [9][10]. - **Aluminum**: On Tuesday, the closing price of Shanghai aluminum declined. The overall market sentiment cooled, and domestic commodities generally fell, which is negative for aluminum prices. The previous sharp rise deviated from fundamentals due to market speculation. With high domestic supply and imports, weakening demand, and difficulty in de - stocking, along with a significant increase in foreign aluminum inventories, the price is expected to oscillate in the short term. If the price rises above 20,800 yuan/ton, short - selling can be considered [10]. - **Tin**: The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index dropped significantly overnight due to renewed concerns about the AI bubble. The smelting start - up rate has rebounded significantly and is at a high level, and the supply of tin ore is expected to increase. The demand side is still weak, with the tin solder start - up rate at a low level and limited improvement in downstream orders. The high tin price has suppressed physical demand, but due to previous low inventory levels, some downstream enterprises have carried out small - scale replenishment, and the inventory has decreased. In the medium and short term, the price has support below but limited upside space, and it is expected to oscillate at a high level [11]. - **Lithium Carbonate**: On Tuesday, the main contract of lithium carbonate declined. The weighted contract reduced its position significantly. With rumors of a mine restart and a short - term macro - negative environment, it is recommended to hold a light position and wait patiently for the "emotional bottom" [12]. - **Industrial Silicon**: On Tuesday, the main contract of industrial silicon declined. The weighted contract increased its position. The demand is relatively stable, and the social inventory has slightly increased at a high level. The market is expected to oscillate within a range, and attention should be paid to the cash - flow cost support of large enterprises [12]. - **Polysilicon**: On Tuesday, the main contract of polysilicon declined. The weighted contract reduced its position. There is a stalemate between strong policy expectations and weak reality. The policy provides support for the spot price, but weak terminal demand restricts price increases. It is expected to oscillate in a high - level range, and interval trading is recommended [13]. Energy and Chemicals - **Crude Oil**: The dollar has reached a five - month high, pressuring crude oil prices. Although Russian seaborne crude oil exports have decreased significantly due to sanctions, some doubt the long - term effectiveness of the sanctions. In the short term, oil prices will face a divergence between short - and long - term trends, and the medium - term pressure remains high [14]. - **Asphalt**: With a slight decline in oil prices, the asphalt futures price dropped significantly, and the basis continued to narrow. There is a slight inventory accumulation pressure in social and factory warehouses, and the pressure will increase as the demand off - season approaches. Although the profit has increased slightly due to the decline in crude oil prices, and the supply pressure has decreased temporarily, future crude oil prices may be affected by OPEC+ production increases, and asphalt still has a large selling pressure [14]. - **PX**: As crude oil prices declined, the polyester sector was weak, and PX oscillated. With high PTA start - up rates, PX still has some demand support. The PXN spread has slightly adjusted, and PX remains in a tight supply situation. Short - term price changes are mainly driven by crude oil cost fluctuations [15]. - **PTA**: PTA remained weak. Although downstream start - up rates have increased slightly and winter textile demand has increased, the long - awaited production cut agreement among leading manufacturers has not been achieved. With new device replacements, the overall supply remains high, and there is a great inventory accumulation pressure in November. The decline in oil prices also exerts pressure on PTA [15]. - **Ethylene Glycol**: Ethylene glycol prices dropped, and the port inventory has accumulated again. Although the downstream start - up rate is neutral in the short term, the shipping volume is low, and the arrivals are at a relatively high level. There is a large inventory accumulation pressure in November, and the downstream start - up rate may decline. Caution is required before entering the market [15]. - **Short - fiber**: Short - fiber oscillates in the short term but faces greater pressure in the future. Terminal orders are seasonally declining, and the start - up rate has decreased in some areas, with limited inventory accumulation. It is recommended to go short on rallies in the medium term [16]. - **Methanol**: The methanol market shows regional differentiation. The port inventory is at a high level but is slightly decreasing without a significant increase in imports and stable MTO demand. Inland, due to increased device start - up rates and weakening demand, enterprise inventories have accumulated, and prices have weakened. In the short term, the market sentiment is bearish, but with the approaching winter gas restrictions, the supply contraction expectation will gradually emerge, and the downward space is expected to be limited, with the market likely to enter an oscillatory consolidation phase [16]. - **PP**: In the PP market, supply growth continues to outpace demand recovery, and the industrial chain inventory is relatively high. However, demand has shown marginal improvement, and the recent rebound in crude oil prices supports the cost, limiting the downward space. In the short term, the price is expected to oscillate weakly [17]. - **LLDPE**: The core contradiction in the polyethylene market is the continuous accumulation of supply pressure. With the release of new production capacity and the planned restart of previously shut - down devices, supply is increasing. Demand is expected to weaken after peaking in early November, and the weak crude oil price provides limited cost support. The price is expected to continue to be under pressure [17]. - **Urea**: The urea supply is expected to increase, and the overall supply is becoming more abundant. With the recent price rebound, downstream replenishment has slowed down. Local agricultural demand is gradually ending, and industrial demand remains weak. The export is expected to stay at a low level due to unclear policies [17]. Agricultural Products - **US Soybeans**: Overnight, the CBOT January soybean contract declined. With the Sino - US economic and trade consultations reaching a phased consensus, the trade window for agricultural products may open, and US soybeans may strengthen. The USDA may increase the export forecast in subsequent reports, and if the yield per acre is further reduced, the cost - repair logic of US soybeans will be enhanced [18]. - **Soybean and Rapeseed Meal**: The pressure of concentrated soybean arrivals in China is increasing, and oil mills are maintaining high - level crushing, resulting in sufficient soybean meal supply. With the repair of Sino - US agricultural trade relations, the cost of imported soybeans will increase, and the risk of future soybean shortages will decrease, which may lead to inventory accumulation of soybean meal and limit its upside potential. The spread between soybean meal and rapeseed meal is expected to narrow. Attention should be paid to whether China cancels the 10% reciprocal tariff and opens the market - oriented import window [19]. - **Palm Oil**: After continuous declines, palm oil has entered a technically oversold stage, and the risk of short - selling is increasing. Although the unexpected increase in Malaysian palm oil production in October has caused short - term adjustment pressure, the rising prices of international oilseeds and crude oil provide some support. As palm oil enters the production - reduction cycle, the seasonal inventory - reduction trend remains unchanged. The domestic spot basis is stable with a slight decline, and palm oil continues to operate weakly [19]. - **Soybean and Rapeseed Oil**: Soybean oil continues to adjust weakly in a narrow range, with a supply - exceeding - demand situation. Supported by the rising cost of imported soybeans, it is relatively more resistant to decline compared to palm oil. Rapeseed oil inventory is still at a high level, but rapeseed inventory is running out. Affected by the uncertainty of Sino - Canadian trade, the sentiment of traders to hold back supply and support prices is strong, and the basis continues to strengthen [19]. - **Corn**: The pressure of wet corn sales is gradually weakening, and the prices in production areas are stable, but the intention of traders to build inventories is still general. The situation of a bumper harvest and market pressure has gradually stabilized. The futures prices are running weakly recently, but the phased bottom - range market may provide effective support [20]. - **Hogs**: In late October, the overall slaughter rhythm of large - scale pig farms was adjusted, but there was no significant reduction in supply, and the average slaughter weight decreased. It is expected that the supply will continue to increase in November, and the pig - raising profit will remain in the red. Before the small peak of pickled meat consumption around the Winter Solstice in December, it is difficult for pig prices to rebound significantly [20].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating The report does not provide an overall industry investment rating. 2. Core Views of the Report - Crude oil is in a volatile pattern due to the co - existence of supply pressure and geopolitical risks. OPEC+ decided to continue increasing production in December 2025 but pause in Q1 2026. The high inventory and surplus supply are bearish factors, while strong refined - product crack spreads, geopolitical attacks on refineries are bullish factors [1]. - Liquid chemical products faced a significant decline on Monday. Ethylene glycol has a supply - surplus expectation, and the styrene - pure benzene market may continue to decline without major supply cuts or demand surges [2]. - Overall, crude oil will continue to fluctuate in the short term, and the chemical supply side still faces significant pressure [3]. 3. Summary by Variety Crude Oil - **View**: Supply pressure persists, and geopolitical risks remain. Overseas crack spreads are strong, but domestic refinery profits are under pressure. OPEC+ is more cautious about increasing production, and oil prices may move from the bottom - seeking to the bottom - grinding stage. It is expected to fluctuate in the short term [8]. Asphalt - **View**: With the weakening of crude oil and rebar, asphalt futures prices lack support. The absolute price of asphalt is over - estimated, and the monthly spread is expected to decline with the increase of warehouse receipts [8]. High - Sulfur Fuel Oil - **View**: As crude oil weakens, fuel oil futures prices are on the weak side. Although the supply in the Asia - Pacific region may decline in November, the demand is still weak, and attention should be paid to the development of the Russia - Ukraine conflict [8]. Low - Sulfur Fuel Oil - **View**: It fluctuates with crude oil. It is supported by the rebound of gasoline and diesel crack spreads but faces negative factors such as weak shipping demand. It is expected to follow crude oil fluctuations with a relatively low valuation [9][10]. Methanol - **View**: Suppressed by the high - inventory reality in the near term, methanol fluctuates downward. Although the port inventory has decreased slightly, the high inventory still has a suppressing effect, but there is still value in going long at low levels considering potential Iranian disturbances [24]. Urea - **View**: There is a co - existence of high - inventory suppression and cost support, and it is expected to fluctuate narrowly. The high inventory restricts the upward space of futures prices, while coal costs provide support [25]. Ethylene Glycol - **View**: The expectation of supply surplus suppresses the market, and there is no fundamental positive support. With the return of integrated refineries and concentrated imports, the price is expected to decline in the medium - and long - term under the expectation of inventory accumulation [15][16][17]. PX - **View**: Although some plants are under reform and maintenance, PX supply is not affected. With strong supply and demand, the profit supports the price. It is expected to return to the cost - and - fundamental pricing logic in the short term and maintain range - bound trading [11]. PTA - **View**: The supply - demand drive is limited, the market negotiation fades, and the basis weakens slightly. The price is affected by cost and macro - sentiment fluctuations, and there is a weakening expectation in the medium term [11]. Short - Fiber - **View**: There is an expectation of weakening supply and demand, and the processing fee is under pressure. The upstream cost support is weak, and the downstream demand fails to keep up, so the price is expected to fluctuate with the upstream [19][20]. Bottle Chip - **View**: The cost provides no obvious guidance, the volatility narrows, and the trading atmosphere fades. The price follows the cost fluctuations, and the processing fee has stronger support during the factory production - reduction period [21]. Propylene - **View**: The propane CP price is reduced again, and PL is weaker than PP in the short term [29]. PP - **View**: With the decline in maintenance and high inventory pressure, it is expected to trade within a range. The decrease in maintenance leads to an increase in production, and the high - level inventory in the middle reaches suppresses the price [28]. Plastic - **View**: With the short - term decline in maintenance, it is expected to trade within a range. The supply pressure and weak fundamental support limit the price upside, and the profit support is also limited [27]. Styrene - **View**: There is still a concern about inventory swelling, and it fluctuates weakly. Although there are some disturbances in the cost - side pure benzene supply, it cannot reverse the situation, and the subsequent trend depends on crude oil [13]. PVC - **View**: The market sentiment cools down, and it fluctuates weakly. After the end of maintenance in early November, the production will increase, while the downstream demand is weak, and the export is also under pressure [30]. Caustic Soda - **View**: The supply - demand is under pressure, and the cost rises. The inventory continues to accumulate, and the price is weak. Attention should be paid to whether low profits can drive upstream production cuts [30]. 4.
