Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. Core View of the Report The short - term outlook for ethylene glycol may be a low - level oscillating pattern. The marginal contraction of supply provides bottom support for prices, but the lack of improvement in the polyester and terminal weaving loads on the demand side, along with the increase in port inventories to a yearly high, suppresses the price rebound space. Future attention should be paid to cost - side fluctuations in crude oil/coal and the seasonal improvement rhythm of downstream orders. If inventory depletion fails to meet expectations, prices may test previous lows again [2][3]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 1. Daily Market Summary - **Price and Basis**: From September 30 to October 9, the price of the ethylene glycol main futures contract dropped from 4,207 yuan/ton to 4,158 yuan/ton, a decline of 1.16%, showing a five - day consecutive downward trend. The East China spot price also fell by 45 yuan/ton to 4,230 yuan/ton. The basis widened from 63 yuan/ton to 112 yuan/ton, deepening the futures discount [2]. - **Position and Trading Volume**: The position of the main contract increased by 6.77% to 335,300 lots, and the trading volume increased by 6.35% to 145,463 lots, indicating intensified market divergence and active short - side position - increasing during the price decline [2]. - **Supply Side**: The overall ethylene glycol operating rate decreased by 1 percentage point to 70.33%, with a significant 1.6 - percentage - point decline in the oil - based unit operating rate to 75.3%, while the coal - based operating rate remained unchanged at 62.95%. The contraction of oil - based production capacity provides marginal support to the supply side [2]. - **Demand Side**: The polyester factory load remained stable at 89.42%, and the Jiangsu and Zhejiang loom load remained at 63.43%. Terminal demand showed no obvious improvement, with downstream purchases mainly for rigid demand. The polyester segment lacked incremental drivers for ethylene glycol consumption [2]. - **Inventory Side**: The East China main port inventory increased by 5.9 tons to 48.57 tons, and the Zhangjiagang inventory soared by 40.6% to 18 tons in a single week. The arrival volume decreased by 6.7 tons to 10.17 tons, indicating low actual port shipments and accelerating inventory pressure [3]. 2.

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2. Core Viewpoints - The supply of pure benzene is expected to remain high in the fourth quarter, while the demand is weak, leading to a difficult - to - change inventory accumulation pattern. The supply of styrene is tightening due to increased device maintenance, and it is expected to increase in mid - to - late October when new device production is realized. From September to November, styrene will maintain a tight balance, but its upward space is limited. In the short term, it will mainly follow crude oil fluctuations, and a wait - and - see approach is recommended for single - sided trading. One can consider widening the price spread between pure benzene and styrene when the price is low [4]. - Macro factors such as the "anti - involution", the Fourth Plenary Session in October, and the 14th Five - Year Plan outline need to be monitored. In the absence of obvious fundamental drivers, macro sentiment will affect the market [4]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Price Forecast and Hedging Strategies - **Price Forecast**: The monthly price range for pure benzene is predicted to be between 5,600 and 6,200 yuan/ton, and for styrene, it is between 6,600 and 7,200 yuan/ton. The current 20 - day rolling volatility of styrene is 29.40%, and its historical percentile over three years is 85.8% [3]. - **Hedging Strategies**: - **Inventory Management**: For enterprises with high finished - product inventory, they can short styrene futures (EB2511) with a 25% hedging ratio at an entry range of 6,850 - 6,950 yuan/ton. They can also sell call options (EB2511C7000) with a 50% ratio at a premium range of 45 - 60 to reduce costs and lock in the selling price if styrene prices rise [3]. - **Procurement Management**: For enterprises with low regular procurement inventory, they can buy styrene futures (EB2511) with a 50% hedging ratio at an entry range of 6,700 - 6,750 yuan/ton. They can also sell put options (EB2511P6800) with a 75% ratio at a premium range of 120 - 140 to reduce procurement costs and lock in the purchase price if styrene prices fall [3]. 3.2 Core Contradictions and Market Analysis - **Pure Benzene**: In the fourth quarter, the overall maintenance loss of pure benzene is not high, small long - shut devices plan to resume production, and there are import transactions from Europe to China. On the demand side, downstream production and maintenance coexist, and the peak season is likely to be weak this year, so the high supply cannot be digested, and the inventory accumulation pattern is difficult to change [4]. - **Styrene**: Device maintenance has increased, and the supply has tightened. New device production is expected to increase supply in mid - to - late October. From September to November, it will maintain a tight balance, but high inventory and the drag from upstream pure benzene limit its upward space [4]. 3.3利多 and利空 Factors - **利多 Factors**: As of October 9, the port inventory of pure benzene in Jiangsu decreased by 1.5 million tons compared to the previous period, a month - on - month decline of 33.7%. Multiple styrene devices, including Jingbosi D睿, Anhui Jiaxi, and Lianyungang Petrochemical, plan to shut down for maintenance, making it difficult to further compress the price spread between pure benzene and styrene [4]. - **利空 Factors**: As of October 9, the port sample inventory of styrene in Jiangsu increased by 0.44 million tons compared to the previous period, an increase of 2.23%. Some devices of Zhejiang Petrochemical have restarted as planned, offsetting part of the new maintenance losses. Two large - scale styrene devices of Jilin Petrochemical and Guangxi Petrochemical are planned to be put into production in the fourth quarter [7]. 3.4 Basis and Price Spread Changes - **Basis Changes**: The basis of pure benzene and styrene in the East China market has changed compared to the previous period. For example, the basis of East China - BZ03 for pure benzene decreased from 60 to - 13, a decrease of 73 [8]. - **Price Spread Changes**: The price spreads of pure benzene, styrene, and the pure benzene - styrene industry chain have changed. For example, the price spread between styrene spot and pure benzene spot increased from 1,035 to 1,075 yuan/ton, an increase of 40 yuan/ton [8]. 3.5 Price and Profit Data - **Price Data**: The prices of various products in the pure benzene - styrene industry chain have changed. For example, the price of Brent crude oil on October 9 was 66.08 US dollars/barrel, and the price of pure benzene in the East China market was 5,750 yuan/ton, a decrease of 110 yuan/ton compared to the previous period [9]. - **Profit Data**: The production profits of pure benzene and the profits of downstream products of styrene have also changed. For example, the production profit of pure benzene increased from 173 to 314 yuan/ton, an increase of 141 yuan/ton [9].

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints PTA - Cost side: The expectation of supply-demand surplus remains, but it will take time for the surplus pressure to materialize. Oil prices are expected to fluctuate within a range. The increase in PX due to the restart of short - process production at home and abroad and the postponement of some device maintenance is significant. With the compression of PTA profit margins, the postponement of new device launches and clear maintenance plans will further affect PX demand. PXN is expected to show a weak performance, and the cost support is average. - Supply - demand: In October, INEOS and Hengli have maintenance plans, and the restart time of Yisheng Dalian and Hainan is undetermined, so the supply - side operating rate is average. After the sales volume increased in late September, the significant decline in polyester factory inventory may delay the expected reduction in polyester production, and the supply - demand is expected to be in a tight - balance state [5]. MEG - Before the holiday: Driven by the rebound in demand and oil prices, the polyester market was booming, the inventory of POY and FDY in the pre - spinning of filament yarn decreased rapidly, and prices rebounded by 100 - 150 yuan. During the holiday, polyester prices were stable, and the sales volume of filament yarn was only 10% - 20%. It is expected that the inventory will increase by more than 5 days in 8 days on average. - Future outlook: With the successful launch of Yulong Petrochemical, ethylene glycol has entered a new launch cycle. The fundamental structure of ethylene glycol is weak in the fourth quarter. The inventory is expected to increase by about 70,000 - 80,000 tons in October. Attention should be paid to the implementation of maintenance plans for devices such as Fulaian and Shenghong. The inventory increase will be more obvious from November to December, and there is also an expectation of new device launches in the far - month, so attention should be paid to the macro - level and device changes [7].

Daily Tips PTA - Fundamental: During the National Day and Mid - Autumn Festival holidays, the PTA market showed a pattern of "weak supply and demand, price under pressure", with unstable cost support, loose supply, and the recovery of downstream demand falling short of expectations [6]. - Basis: The spot price is 4545, and the basis of the 01 contract is - 49, with the futures price higher than the spot price [6]. - Inventory: The inventory of PTA factories is 3.75 days, a decrease of 0.05 days compared to the previous period [6]. - Market: The 20 - day moving average is downward, and the closing price is below the 20 - day moving average [6]. - Main position: Net short position, and short positions are increasing [6]. MEG - Fundamental: Before the holiday, driven by the rebound in demand and oil prices, the polyester market was booming, and the inventory of POY and FDY in the pre - spinning of filament yarn decreased rapidly to about half a month, and prices rebounded by 100 - 150 yuan. During the holiday, polyester prices were stable, and the sales volume of filament yarn was only 10% - 20%. It is expected that the inventory will increase by more than 5 days in 8 days on average. In terms of polyester load, attention should be paid to whether bottle chips will restart in October. Due to the improvement in pre - holiday sales, the inventory of filament yarn has decreased significantly, and the short - term pressure to further reduce production is not large, but the physical inventory still has pressure. From November to December, attention should be paid to demand changes, and filament yarn and chips may still reduce production [7]. - Basis: The spot price is 4275, and the basis of the 01 contract is 68, with the spot price higher than the futures price [8]. - Inventory: The total inventory in East China is 404,300 tons, an increase of 22,600 tons compared to the previous period [8]. - Market: The 20 - day moving average is downward, and the closing price is below the 20 - day moving average [8]. - Main position: Net short position, and short positions are decreasing [7]. 3.
