1. Report Industry Investment Rating - There is no clear industry - wide investment rating provided in the report. 2. Report's Core View - The report believes that although the macro - bearish sentiment has weakened due to Trump's signal to ease tensions, the macro and industrial factors in the crude oil market remain weak. With OPEC+ increasing production and the "war premium" fading, the oil market supply pressure is increasing. However, the domestic crude oil futures 2512 contract may maintain a slightly stronger oscillation trend on Wednesday [5]. 3. Summary According to Relevant Contents Price and Trend - The domestic crude oil futures 2512 contract showed an oscillating and stabilizing trend on Tuesday night, with the futures price rising slightly by 0.64% to 439.0 yuan/barrel.

But the macro and industrial factors in the crude oil market are still in a weak pattern [5]. - Eight OPEC+ oil - producing countries decided to increase production by 137,000 barrels per day in November, increasing the supply pressure in the oil market [5]. - The geopolitical situation in the Middle East has shown signs of easing, and the "war premium" that previously supported oil prices has diminished [5].

Core Viewpoint - The international crude oil and chemical industry is expected to maintain a weak and volatile trend in the fourth quarter due to OPEC+'s continued production increase and the end of the peak oil consumption season [1] Oil Market Outlook - Oil prices are likely to remain weak and volatile in Q4 due to factors such as OPEC+ production increases and the conclusion of the peak consumption season [1] Chemical Industry Analysis - The chemical industry is currently in a cyclical low, transitioning from a late-stage recession to an early-stage recovery, with limited quarter-on-quarter improvement expected in Q4, although a slight year-on-year increase is anticipated [1] - Sub-industry performance is expected to diverge further, with segments like agrochemicals, fluorochemicals, and electronic chemicals benefiting from policy support and demand growth, showing potential for continued upward momentum [1] - Conversely, sectors such as titanium dioxide and vitamins are facing challenges due to capacity saturation and insufficient demand-side support [1]

Core Viewpoint - The international gold and oil markets are experiencing a stark divergence, with gold prices surging to historical highs while oil prices are under pressure, indicating a significant shift in market dynamics [1] Group 1: Gold Market - Gold prices have recently soared, with COMEX gold futures exceeding $4300 per ounce, reaching new historical highs [1] - The increase in gold prices is attributed to heightened expectations of interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve, rising market risk aversion, and a weakening of the US dollar's credibility [1] - There is a potential for profit-taking pressure on gold prices due to the rapid increase, which may lead to a correction in the gold-to-oil ratio in the short term [1] Group 2: Oil Market - In contrast, WTI crude oil futures have fallen below $56 per barrel, marking the lowest level since early May of this year [1] - The decline in oil prices is primarily driven by fundamental industry factors, including an oversupply situation and weakening demand, which highlight the imbalance in production capacity [1] - The long-term outlook suggests that the strong performance of gold and the weak performance of oil may not fundamentally reverse [1]

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - The energy and chemical sector remains weak, with the downward trend driven by the over - capacity of the chemical industry, the decline in crude oil costs, and the short - selling of market funds. Most varieties have seen a decline of over 10% since mid - September, and short positions can still be held [1][2] Group 3: Summary by Relevant Catalogs (1) Crude Oil - Logic: Geopolitical influence on crude oil is weakening, and the macro - drive is bearish. The main reason for the downward trend is the excess supply. OPEC + has increased production, and inventories have been rising. The downward trend continues, and attention should be paid to whether the April low can be broken [3] - Technical Analysis: The daily - level and hourly - level structures are both in a downward trend. The intraday performance is weak, and the short - position should be held with the short - term pressure at 447 for the 12 - contract [3] (2) Styrene (EB) - Logic: Although the supply - demand situation has slightly improved due to increased maintenance, port inventories are still accumulating, and there is a risk of price collapse due to the approaching seasonal inventory accumulation in January. Do not chase short positions [5][8] - Technical Analysis: The hourly - level structure is in a downward trend. The intraday rebound is limited, and the short - position should be held with the short - term pressure at 6610 [8] (3) Rubber - Logic: The supply in Southeast Asia is expected to increase in the fourth quarter, and domestic inventories are high. The cost support is weakening [10] - Technical Analysis: The daily - level and hourly - level structures are in a downward trend. The intraday increase is a rebound. The short - position should be held with the stop - profit at 15450 [10] (4) Synthetic Rubber (BR) - Logic: The supply - demand contradiction is not obvious in the short term, but the cost of crude oil and butadiene is declining, which may drive the price of synthetic rubber down [12][14] - Technical Analysis: The daily - level and hourly - level structures are in a downward trend. The intraday increase is a rebound. The short - position should be held with the stop - profit at 11300 [14] (5) PX - Logic: The supply - demand situation has slightly improved, but the high - supply pattern remains. The main driving factor is the cost of crude oil [18] - Technical Analysis: The hourly - level structure is in a downward trend. The intraday rebound is limited. The short - position should be held with the stop - profit at 6460 - 6480 [18] (6) PTA - Logic: The supply pressure is large, and the demand is stable. The main driving factor is the cost of crude oil [20] - Technical Analysis: The hourly - level structure is in a downward trend. The intraday rebound is limited. The short - position should be held with the stop - profit at 4470 [20] (7) PP - Logic: The supply pressure is high, and the demand is weak both at home and abroad. The cost is also under downward pressure [22] - Technical Analysis: The hourly - level structure is in a downward trend. After taking profit, there is no good entry point, so continue to wait and see [22] (8) Methanol - Logic: There is a long - position opportunity for the 01 - contract in the future due to seasonal factors, but the short - term supply is high and inventories are high. Pay attention to the technical signal and the gas - restriction time in Iran [26] - Technical Analysis: The daily - level and hourly - level structures are in a downward trend. The short - position should be held with the stop - profit at 2320. Consider long - position after breaking through the pressure [26] (9) PVC - Logic: The supply is high, the demand from the real - estate sector is low, and the inventory is accumulating [29] - Technical Analysis: The daily - level and hourly - level structures are in a downward trend. The short - position should be held with the short - term pressure at 4800 [29] (10) Ethylene Glycol (EG) - Logic: The supply is increasing, and the inventory is accumulating, indicating a weakening supply - demand situation [30] - Technical Analysis: The daily - level and hourly - level structures are in a downward trend. The short - position should be held with the short - term pressure at 4060 [30] (11) Plastic - Logic: The supply pressure is increasing, and the demand is weak. The cost is under downward pressure [32] - Technical Analysis: The daily - level and hourly - level structures are in a downward trend. The short - position should be held with the short - term pressure at 6940 [32] (12) Soda Ash - Logic: The supply and inventory are high, the demand is not expected to improve, and the macro - drive is downward. The downward pressure on the price continues [36] - Technical Analysis: The hourly - level structure is in a downward trend. The short - position should be held with the short - term pressure at 1260 [36] (13) Caustic Soda - Logic: The supply pressure is increasing in the medium - term, and the demand is stable. The driving force is bearish [37] - Technical Analysis: The hourly - level structure is in a downward trend. After taking profit, there is no good entry point, so continue to wait and see [39]
