1. Report Industry Investment Ratings - No industry investment ratings are provided in the reports. 2. Core Views Crude Oil - Despite concerns about crude oil supply glut, US government's end of shutdown and tightened sanctions on Russia led to a slight rebound in overnight oil prices. OPEC+ faces continuous production - increase pressure, with a weak fourth - quarter supply - demand outlook. EIA周报 shows significant increase in US crude production and large inventory growth, so oil prices remain under pressure. Short - term Brent may trade in the range of $60 - 66 per barrel, with a bearish view. Attention should be paid to substantial sanctions on Russia and the Russia - Ukraine geopolitical situation [2]. Polyolefins - PP shows both supply and demand increase. Supply rises due to fewer maintenance, and demand remains resilient in the automotive and home - appliance sectors, but there is slight inventory accumulation this week under new - capacity pressure. PE has weak supply and demand. Although unplanned maintenance eases supply pressure, import sources are abundant, and non - agricultural - film demand generally declines. There is inventory reduction this week, but port inventory remains high. The cost side has crude oil fluctuating and coal strengthening, with a slight repair in PDH profit. High inventory and cost support continue to compete, and market expectations are still weak [4]. Methanol - Delayed gas restrictions in Iran put significant pressure on the port methanol market. High inventory, combined with positive import profit from Iran, leads to continuous trading and weakening willingness to hold goods, resulting in price decline and stable basis. In the inland market, Baofeng continues external procurement, and Jiutai has unexpected maintenance, with subsequent increase in domestic production. Overseas gas restrictions are less than expected. On the demand side, multiple MTO units reduce load due to profit reasons, and traditional downstream purchases for rigid demand. The market currently trades on the "weak reality" logic, with the core contradiction being high port inventory. The inventory problem of the 01 contract cannot be solved, and the weak reality will continue to be traded before gas restrictions in Iran [8]. Natural Rubber - On the supply side, there are still periodic rainfall disturbances in overseas production areas, but overall, a strong output is expected during the peak - production period, and raw - material prices have some downward space. Domestic production areas are gradually entering the output - reduction period, with firm domestic raw - material prices. On the demand side, some northern regions are entering the off - season in the month, with slower market sales, mainly digesting inventory and purchasing as needed. With market digestion, some replenish in small quantities in the middle of the month. In the short term, due to large macro fluctuations, rubber prices are expected to fluctuate. Follow the raw - material output in the peak - production period of major production areas and macro changes. If raw - material supply is smooth, prices may weaken; if not, rubber prices are expected to trade around 15,000 - 15,500 [11]. PVC and Caustic Soda - **Caustic Soda**: Low - concentration caustic soda gets price support from increased inquiries from alumina plants, but overall, there is a lack of real positive factors. The caustic - soda industry still faces supply - demand pressure, with few maintenance enterprises and an increasing supply. The main downstream alumina price is weakening, with shrinking industry profit and increasing losses, so the main demand side provides weak support, suppressing caustic - soda prices. Although there may be periodic replenishment demand from middle - and downstream inventory consumption, prices are still under pressure due to increasing supply and weakening demand. The non - aluminum market is sluggish. It is expected that caustic - soda prices will trend down in the long run, but there is short - term support from downstream periodic demand. Track the rhythm and sustainability of downstream replenishment [12]. - **PVC**: The supply - demand surplus problem has not improved, with increasing supply pressure, weakening demand expectations, insufficient cost support, and no positive macro expectations. It is expected that prices will continue to weaken. On the demand side, major downstream sectors such as real estate are still weak, and product enterprises like profiles and pipes have limited new orders, mainly purchasing for rigid demand, which cannot provide continuous market support. In November - December, there will still be an impact from new production capacity. After the maintenance of Inner Mongolia Sanlian, Qilu Petrochemical, and Inner Mongolia Junzheng ends next week, production is expected to increase. From November to January of the next year is the traditional off - season, with reduced outdoor construction in the north, and overall real - estate demand decline is a negative factor. The situation of anti - dumping duties in India is unclear, and exports are mainly in a wait - and - see state. The supply - demand surplus persists, and prices are not optimistic, expected to continue weakening at the bottom [12]. Glass and Soda Ash - **Soda Ash**: Recently, with the previous price decline, middle - and downstream buyers have increased purchases, leading to a rebound in the futures price. However, the overall surplus situation is still prominent. Fundamentally, weekly production remains at a high level of around 750,000 tons, with obvious surplus compared to current rigid demand. Manufacturer inventory has been transferred to the middle - and downstream, and trade inventory continues to rise. In the medium term, there is no expectation of significant downstream capacity increase, so the overall demand for soda ash will continue the previous rigid - demand pattern. Without actual capacity exit or load reduction, the supply - demand situation will face further pressure. Track macro fluctuations and soda - ash plant load - adjustment situations. The supply - demand outlook is bearish. Short - term operation should be on the sidelines, and wait for opportunities to short on rebounds [13]. - **Glass**: Sales have weakened significantly, and the sales - to - production ratio has fallen below 100% in recent days. Although four production lines in the Shahe area were cold - repaired last week, there will be production - line restart and ignition, adding about 3,650 tons of daily capacity, which will put pressure on the supply side. The latest deep - processing order days have slightly improved, and there is still some rigid demand support in November as it is the year - end rush season. However, in the long - term, at the end of the peak season, there are concerns about future demand sustainability. As the temperature drops in the north, outdoor construction will stop, and glass prices will face pressure after December. The real - estate industry is still in the bottom cycle, with significant reduction in construction volume. The industry needs capacity exit to solve the surplus problem. The high sales - to - production ratio of spot has ended, and glass is expected to be weak in the short term [13]. Polyester Industry Chain - **PX**: Currently, Asian and domestic PX loads remain high. In the short - term, PTA load is maintained, and the previous terminal and polyester demand was better than expected. With low polyester inventory, load is expected to remain relatively high from November to December. PX demand still has short - term support. Yesterday, PX showed a strong trend due to the lifting of India's BIS certification and the start of the Asia - America aromatics arbitrage. However, limited by weak overall oil - price support and expected weakening of terminal demand in the industry chain, the PX rebound space is restricted. Short - term PX short positions should be avoided [14]. - **PTA**: There are still many PTA plant maintenance plans in November. The previous terminal and polyester demand was better than expected. With low polyester inventory, load is expected to remain relatively high in November - December. The supply - demand balance in November is expected to be tight, but it will be loose from December to the first quarter of next year. Yesterday, PTA showed a strong trend due to the cancellation of India's BIS certification and PX transfer - demand news, but the spot - market negotiation atmosphere was dull, and the basis was still weak. The PTA rebound space is restricted. Short - term TA should pay attention to the $4800 pressure level, and short positions should be avoided. TA1 - 5 can be treated as a rolling reverse spread [14]. - **Ethylene Glycol (EG)**: Recently, some coal - based EG plants are under maintenance, but Jinghai Petrochemical's plant has restarted production. Previously - maintained coal - based plants plan to restart in the middle - and late - November. Domestic supply remains high, and North American EG load has reached a high level. Middle - East supply shows no reduction, and overseas shipments are concentrated in January. Currently, polyester load is declining, and due to the high expected inventory accumulation in November - December, EG is under pressure. Hold out - of - the - money call options on EG2601 with a strike price of no less than 4100; go for reverse spreads on EG1 - 5 at high prices [14]. - **Short - fiber**: Currently, short - fiber factories have low inventory levels and reasonable processing fees, so short - fiber supply remains relatively high. In November, there is an expected seasonal weakening of terminal demand. Yesterday, the cancellation of India's BIS certification made raw - material PTA stronger, but it mainly benefited PTA and long - fiber, having relatively little impact on short - fiber. In the short - term, due to the weak supply - demand expectation, the short - fiber rebound space is restricted, and processing fees are expected to be compressed. The strategy is the same as PTA for single - side trading; the processing fee on the disk fluctuates in the range of 800 - 1100, and short positions should be taken at high prices [14]. - **Bottle - grade polyester chips**: In mid - November, the Huarun plant has both maintenance and restart. According to Longzhong Information, the commissioning of Dongying Fuhai's new plant is postponed, and domestic supply changes little. Considering the November market off - season, soft - drink and catering demand decline slightly, and demand provides insufficient support for bottle - grade chips. The supply - demand situation remains loose. Bottle - grade chips' social inventory is likely to enter the seasonal inventory - accumulation phase, with prices fluctuating with the cost side. Processing fees are limitedly boosted by supply - demand and change with raw - material costs. The strategy for single - side trading is the same as PTA; the main - contract processing fee on the disk is expected to fluctuate in the range of 300 - 450 yuan per ton [14]. Pure Benzene and Styrene - **Pure Benzene**: There are new capacity commissioning, plant restart, and planned/unplanned maintenance expectations for pure benzene recently, but overall domestic supply may remain loose. On the demand side, some loss - making downstream products have production - reduction and price - protection expectations, so demand support is limited. Although East - China port inventory decreased this week, supply pressure remains. There is an expected amount of imports from November to December, but the US - Asia arbitrage window and gasoline - blending may disrupt market sentiment, and the actual impact needs further consideration. With weak crude - oil supply - demand expectations, cost support is limited, and the rebound space is restricted. Follow plant changes. In the short - term, BZ2603 has weak self - driving force, pay attention to the 5640 pressure level, and be cautious about chasing up [16]. - **Styrene**: Two new styrene plants are operating stably, and previously - shut - down plants have restarted. There are also expected planned/unplanned maintenance in the near future, so overall supply may remain stable. Downstream EPS enters the seasonal off - season and reduces its operating rate due to high product inventory. PS has new plant commissioning and restart, and ABS remains stable. Overall demand changes little. Although inventory decreased this week, it is still at a high level, restricting the upside. Overseas and plant accidents may disrupt the domestic market. Overall, styrene supply - demand is expected to be in a tight balance, with insufficient price - driving force. Follow plant restart and production - reduction situations and cost changes. In the short - term, EB12 price may fluctuate with the cost side [16]. 3.

Report Industry Investment Rating There is no information provided in the text regarding the report industry investment rating. Core Viewpoints of the Report - For crude oil, although the geopolitical premium has completely dissipated and OPEC's production increase is minimal with supply not yet surging, short - term excessive bearishness on oil prices is not advisable. A low - buy and high - sell range strategy is maintained, but currently, it is recommended to wait and see to verify OPEC's export price - support intention when oil prices fall [2]. - For methanol, high port inventories are suppressing prices. Overseas production remains high, and the previous expected benefits from early overseas shutdowns have been disproven. With coal prices strong and enterprise profits declining, supply pressure persists while demand is weak. It is recommended to wait and see as prices may fall further [4]. - For urea, the market is sensitive to positive news due to large internal - external price differences and low domestic prices. Domestic demand lacks support, and supply is high. New export policies may improve the market atmosphere, and it is expected to bottom out with limited downside [7]. - For rubber, there are different views from bulls and bears. Bulls focus on factors like limited production in Southeast Asia, seasonal trends, and improved Chinese demand, while bears are concerned about uncertain macro - expectations and weak demand. It is recommended to trade short - term with a neutral mindset and partially build a hedging position [9][10]. - For PVC, the supply is strong with low comprehensive enterprise profits and high production. Domestic demand is weak, and export expectations are poor. It is advisable to consider short - term short - selling opportunities [11]. - For pure benzene and styrene, the supply of benzene is relatively abundant, and the BZN spread has room for upward repair. The port inventory of styrene is decreasing, and prices may stop falling [16]. - For polyethylene, the price of crude oil may have bottomed out. The downward space for PE valuation is limited, but high - level warehouse receipts suppress the market. It is expected to maintain low - level fluctuations [19]. - For polypropylene, the cost side may face supply surplus, and the supply pressure is high. With weak supply and demand and high inventory, it may be supported in the first quarter of next year [22]. - For PX, it is expected to slightly accumulate inventory in November, but it is supported by aromatics blending for gasoline and long - term supply - demand structure. It mainly follows crude oil fluctuations, and there may be opportunities for mid - term valuation increase [26]. - For PTA, it is expected to accumulate inventory in November due to new device launches. However, there may be opportunities for PTA to strengthen driven by an increase in PXN in the mid - term [28]. - For ethylene glycol, the supply is high, and inventory is expected to accumulate in the fourth quarter. It is recommended to short - sell on rallies [30].

Report Overview - Report Title: Polyolefin Daily Report - Date: November 13, 2025 [2] - Research Team: Energy and Chemical Research Team of Jianxin Futures 1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content 2. Core View of the Report - The prices of polyolefins are expected to remain under pressure. There are no new production plans in November, but some maintenance devices will restart, increasing the capacity expansion pressure and intensifying the imbalance between supply and demand. The downstream demand is weak, with the seasonal peak of agricultural film production passing, the demand for pipes increasing first and then decreasing, and the downstream's willingness to stock up being low due to fear of price drops [6] 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Market Review and Outlook - **Futures Market Performance**: The L2601 contract of linear low - density polyethylene (LLDPE) opened higher, fluctuated during the session, and closed down at 6,788 yuan/ton, a decrease of 6 yuan/ton (-0.09%), with a trading volume of 186,000 lots and an increase in positions by 2,586 lots to 586,919 lots.

Report Industry Investment Ratings - No investment ratings were provided in the reports. Core Views Polyolefin Industry - PP shows both increasing supply and demand. Supply rises due to fewer maintenance shutdowns, and demand remains resilient in sectors like automotive and home appliances. However, there is a slight inventory build - up this week under the pressure of new production capacity. PE has weak supply and demand. Although unplanned maintenance eases supply pressure, imported goods are still abundant, and demand outside of agricultural films generally declines. There is overall insufficient support, and while inventory decreased this week, port inventory remains high. The cost side shows oil prices fluctuating and coal prices rising, with a slight improvement in PDH profits. High inventory and cost support continue to compete, and market expectations remain weak [2]. Methanol Industry - The Iranian gas restriction has been postponed. As of November 12th, Iran's shipments reached 430,000 tons, maintaining a relatively high level, putting significant pressure on the port methanol market. Prices and basis are weakly oscillating. In the inland market, Jiutai had an unexpected maintenance, but subsequent domestic production will continue to increase. Overseas gas restriction is less than expected. On the demand side, multiple MTO units reduced their loads due to profit reasons, and traditional downstream industries made rigid - demand purchases. The current market is trading under the "weak reality" logic, with the core contradiction being high port inventory. The inventory contradiction of the 01 contract cannot be resolved, and the weak reality will continue to be traded before the Iranian gas restriction [6]. Natural Rubber Industry - On the supply side, there are still occasional rainfall disruptions in overseas production areas, but overall, the output during the peak season is expected to be strong, and raw material prices have some downward space. The domestic production area is gradually entering the production - reduction period, and domestic raw material prices are firm. On the demand side, some northern regions are gradually entering the off - season this month, market sales are slowing down, and most companies are digesting inventory and purchasing as needed. As the market gradually digests inventory, some companies made small - scale replenishments in the middle of the month. In summary, short - term macro fluctuations are large, and rubber prices are expected to oscillate. In the future, attention should be paid to the raw material output in the peak - season of the main production areas and macro changes. If raw material supply is smooth, prices will be weak; if not, prices may be stable. It is expected that rubber prices will fluctuate around 15,000 - 15,500 [9]. Polyester Industry - **PX**: Asian and domestic PX loads remain high. In the short - term, PTA load is maintained, and previous terminal and polyester demand has improved more than expected. With low polyester inventory, it is expected that the load will remain relatively high from November to December, and there is still support on the short - term PX demand side. However, the overall support from the cost side is limited due to the weak supply - demand outlook for crude oil. Recently, the market has been trading on the expectations of PTA anti - involution and tight mid - term PX supply - demand. PX has shown a strong trend. But the terminal demand is entering the off - season, and there are concentrated PTA device maintenance plans in November, so the PX supply - demand outlook is loose, and price drivers are limited. Strategically, PX may oscillate in the range of 6,200 - 6,800 in the short - term, and short - selling can be considered above 6,800 [10]. - **PTA**: There are still many PTA device maintenance plans in November. Terminal and polyester demand has improved more than expected, and with low polyester inventory, it is expected that the load will remain relatively high from November to December. The PTA supply - demand is expected to be in a tight balance in November, but it is expected to be loose from February to the first quarter of next year. In terms of absolute price, the price driver is limited, and the support for PTA is limited. Although PTA - related stocks and absolute prices have been boosted by recent PTA production - cut rumors, the basis is still weakly operating. It is expected that the PTA rebound will be limited. Strategically, TA should be treated as oscillating in the range of 4,300 - 4,800 in the short - term, and short - selling on rallies is recommended; a rolling reverse spread for TA1 - 5 can be considered [10]. - **Ethylene Glycol**: Recently, some coal - based ethylene glycol plants have undergone maintenance, but Zhenhai Refining & Chemical's plant is restarting, and previously shut - down coal - based plants are planned to restart in the middle and late part of the month. Domestic supply remains high, and North American ethylene glycol load has increased to a high level, with no reduction in Middle - East supply. November will see a concentrated arrival of overseas ethylene glycol shipments. Although the polyester load is maintained above 91%, the expected high inventory build - up from November to December puts pressure on ethylene glycol prices. Strategically, hold out - of - the - money call options with a strike price of no less than 4,100 for EG2601; implement a reverse spread for EG1 - 5 on rallies [10]. - **Short - fiber**: Currently, short - fiber factories have low inventory levels and reasonable processing fees, so short - term supply remains relatively high. In terms of demand, there is an expectation of seasonal weakening in terminal demand in November. As raw material prices decline, short - fiber prices follow suit, and there has been some purchasing at low prices in the market. Overall, the short - term supply - demand pattern is still weak. Although there are expectations of PTA production cuts, the medium - term supply - demand weakness is difficult to change, and with the weak supply - demand outlook for upstream crude oil, price drivers are weak. It is expected that the rebound space for short - fiber is limited, and processing fees may be compressed. Strategically, the single - side strategy is the same as that for PTA; the processing fee on the futures market is expected to oscillate in the range of 800 - 1,100, and short - selling on rallies is recommended [10]. - **Bottle chips**: In mid - November, there are both maintenance and restart of the Huarun plant. According to Longzhong Information, the commissioning of Dongying Fuhai's new plant has been postponed, so there is little change in domestic supply. Considering the off - season market demand in November, the demand for soft drinks and catering has declined slightly, and the demand side provides insufficient support for bottle chips. The supply - demand situation for bottle chips remains loose. Therefore, bottle - chip social inventory is likely to enter the seasonal inventory - build - up phase. PR will mainly fluctuate with the cost side, and processing fees will be less boosted by supply - demand and will change dynamically with raw material costs. Strategically, the single - side strategy for PR is the same as that for PTA; the processing fee on the PR main - contract futures market is expected to fluctuate in the range of 300 - 450 yuan/ton [10]. Pure Benzene and Styrene Industry - **Pure Benzene**: Recently, there are new production capacities coming on - stream and plant restarts for pure benzene, and the import volume is expected to remain high. Although there are maintenance plans, overall supply may still be loose. On the demand side, some downstream industries are in the red, and the overall demand change is limited. Although the weekly inventory has decreased, the supply pressure remains. The overall supply - demand outlook for pure benzene is loose, and cost support is limited. Since the current valuation of pure benzene is low, future attention should be paid to plant changes. Strategically, BZ2603 has weak self - driving force and should be treated as short - selling on rallies following oil prices [11]. - **Styrene**: Two new styrene plants are operating stably, and previously shut - down plants have restarted, increasing production. There are still maintenance expectations in November, and overall supply may be maintained. The downstream EPS industry has entered the seasonal off - season, and due to high finished - product inventory, there are expectations of production cuts to maintain prices. Overall, the supply - demand outlook for styrene is in a tight balance, and price drivers are still insufficient. Attention should be paid to plant restarts, production cuts, and cost changes. Strategically, the price of EB12 should be treated as short - selling on rallies following cost changes [11]. LPG Industry - No overall view was provided in the report, only price, inventory, and开工率 data were presented [13]. Crude Oil Industry - Previously, due to the expectation that the US government shutdown would end soon and the strong performance of European diesel under continuous sanctions on Russia by Europe and the US, oil prices rebounded. However, the weak supply - demand pattern of crude oil still limits the increase. Overnight, on one hand, both OPEC and EIA monthly reports raised oil production forecasts, increasing concerns about supply over - capacity; on the other hand, there are signs of peace talks between Russia and Ukraine, and the geopolitical premium has declined. Overnight, oil prices dropped significantly. Under the continuous pressure of OPEC+ to increase production, the supply - demand outlook for crude oil in the fourth quarter is weak, and oil prices face pressure on rebounds. In the short - term, a bearish view is taken. Attention should be paid to the actual sanctions on Russia by Europe and the US and the geopolitical situation between Russia and Ukraine [16].
