1. Report Industry Investment Ratings No industry investment ratings are provided in the reports. 2. Core Views Urea - Despite high daily production, short - term maintenance led to a decline in daily output. The new export policy allows the release of supportive export orders from May to June, and the upcoming summer top - dressing season in May - June is expected to boost agricultural demand. Market price increases are likely to be cautious, and the futures market is expected to fluctuate at a high level in the near term [3]. Crude Oil - Oil prices continued to rise, driven by the progress of China - US trade negotiations and geopolitical uncertainties. In the short term, the market risk appetite has increased, but no strong trend has been formed yet, and the sustainability of the macro - drive needs to be observed. The monthly - line fluctuation ranges are adjusted to [57, 67] for WTI, [60, 70] for Brent, and [450, 510] for SC [7]. Styrene - Crude oil is expected to be weak in the medium term, putting pressure on chemical products. Pure benzene supply has decreased recently, but overall supply pressure remains due to imports. Styrene downstream demand is weak, and supply is expected to increase. It is recommended to maintain a short - selling strategy for styrene, with the upper resistance for the near - term contract at 7300 [13]. PE and PP - For LLDPE, although imports are expected to decline significantly from May to June and supply pressure will gradually decrease, inventory pressure is still large under the situation of weak supply and demand, and there is a long - term downward risk. For PP, supply pressure eases slightly during the second - quarter maintenance season, but production is still high, demand is weakening, and there is also a long - term downward risk [17]. Caustic Soda - In the medium - to - long term, the demand for caustic soda from alumina is insufficient, and new production capacity is being added, so the supply - demand outlook is weak. In the short term, caustic soda is in the maintenance phase, and the price has been supported. It is recommended to maintain a short - selling strategy, with the near - term resistance at 2550 [26]. PVC - The supply - demand surplus of PVC is prominent. Domestic demand is weak, and exports are mainly based on price - for - volume. The long - term surplus problem is difficult to solve, and the price is expected to remain weak. It is recommended to short on rallies, but there is a risk of price rebound during the maintenance period [26]. Methanol - The inland valuation has a downward pressure. After the spring maintenance, production has recovered, and downstream profits are differentiated. The port has entered a stock - building period, and the MTO low - operation rate suppresses demand. It is recommended to short the MA09 contract on rallies [35][38]. Polyester Industry Chain - PX: Tight supply and short - term strong demand support its price, but the rebound space is limited. PX09 is expected to fluctuate strongly in the short term, and PX9 - 1 is in a short - term positive spread situation [40]. - PTA: The supply - demand pattern remains tight in the short term, and the price is expected to be relatively strong compared to oil prices, but the rebound is suppressed. TA09 is expected to fluctuate strongly in the short term, and TA9 - 1 is in a short - term positive spread and medium - term reverse spread situation [40]. - MEG: Domestic supply is expected to increase in May, but short - term de - stocking is expected due to high polyester load and reduced imports. EG09 is expected to be strong in the short term [40]. - Short - fiber: Inventory pressure is low in the short term, but the driving force is weaker than that of raw materials. The processing fee is under pressure, and the absolute price fluctuates with raw materials [40]. - Bottle - chip: Supply and demand are both strong in the short term, and the absolute price fluctuates with raw materials. The processing fee is supported, and the main - contract processing fee is expected to fluctuate between 350 - 550 yuan/ton [40]. 3.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Views of the Report - In the short term, OPEC's production increase has been fulfilled as scheduled. It is recommended that investors gradually take profits on dips, and it is not advisable to chase short positions excessively in the short term. In the current situation of low static inventory, going long on the positive spread on dips is still a good position [1]. - The domestic methanol supply is expected to continue to rise, imports will gradually increase, and traditional demand will gradually weaken. The supply - demand pattern will gradually weaken, and prices still face downward pressure. It is recommended to focus on short - selling on rallies for single - sided trading, and pay attention to reverse spreads for the 9 - 1 spread [3]. - For urea, it is expected that there will be some support at the bottom, and prices will tend to be strong. Traders with long positions at low levels can continue to hold, while those not in the market should wait for the market sentiment to cool down before considering long positions. The inter - month spread should focus on positive spreads on dips [5]. - Rubber prices have returned to range - bound trading. It is recommended to adopt a neutral approach and conduct short - term operations. Pay attention to the band - trading opportunity of going long on RU2601 and short on RU2509 [8][11]. - For styrene, pay attention to the opportunity of short - selling on rebounds [13]. - PVC is expected to fluctuate weakly in the short term due to the weak supply - demand situation [15]. - Polyethylene prices are expected to remain volatile in the short and medium term, while polypropylene prices are expected to fluctuate with a downward bias in May [17][18]. - PX and PTA are in the maintenance season, with short - term valuation support, but the upside of absolute prices is limited by weak crude oil. For ethylene glycol, the focus is on whether the inventory reduction expectation can be realized [20][21][22]. 3.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No industry investment rating is provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The prices of most energy and chemical products are expected to fluctuate. Crude oil, fuel oil, asphalt, polyester, rubber, methanol, polyolefin, and polyvinyl chloride are all forecasted to have an oscillatory trend [1][3][5][6]. 3. Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Research Views - **Crude Oil**: On Thursday, oil prices rose significantly. OPEC's oil production in April may have slightly decreased due to the US's attempt to curb oil flow, leading to reduced supply from Venezuela, Iraq, and Libya. The US's expanded sanctions have increased market concerns and caused oil prices to rebound. The oil market will continue to fluctuate [1]. - **Fuel Oil**: On Thursday, the main fuel oil contracts on the Shanghai Futures Exchange rose. Singapore and Fujeirah's fuel oil inventories decreased. The reduction in East - West arbitrage arrivals in May will support the low - sulfur market in the short term. High - sulfur fuel oil is also supported by the expected improvement in Middle Eastern summer power generation demand, but low raw material procurement demand will still pressure the market [3]. - **Asphalt**: On Thursday, the main asphalt contract on the Shanghai Futures Exchange fell. This week, the shipment volume of domestic asphalt enterprises decreased, while the capacity utilization rate of modified asphalt increased. With the improvement of processing profits, supply is expected to increase. The issuance of special bonds is expected to accelerate, and terminal demand is supported, but attention should be paid to the pressure brought by increased supply [3]. - **Polyester**: PTA, EG, and PX futures prices rose on Thursday. PTA's load decreased and then is expected to rise. The overall ethylene glycol start - up load increased. Some MEG devices restarted or plan to shut down. The production and sales of polyester yarn in the Yangtze River Delta are weak. The prices of PX and PTA will follow cost fluctuations, and ethylene glycol is relatively resistant to decline [5]. - **Rubber**: On Thursday, the main rubber contracts on the Shanghai Futures Exchange fell. The start - up loads of domestic tire enterprises' semi - steel and all - steel tires decreased. The rubber market fundamentals are weak, but the delayed rubber tapping in Thailand will support prices in the short term [6]. - **Methanol**: On Thursday, methanol prices showed certain trends. In May, domestic supply is expected to increase, while demand will remain relatively stable, and price support will weaken [6]. - **Polyolefin**: On Thursday, the average national price of polypropylene (PP) was reported, and the prices of polyethylene (PE) in different regions decreased. Supply is expected to decline due to refinery maintenance, but demand will enter the off - season, and the decline in inventory will slow down. Polyolefin prices are expected to fluctuate weakly [7]. - **Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)**: On Thursday, PVC prices in East, North, and South China decreased. The real estate construction off - season will drag down the demand for PVC downstream products, and exports may decline. In May, the PVC market fundamentals are loose, and prices are expected to remain low and fluctuate [7]. 3.2 Daily Data Monitoring - The report provides the basis data of various energy and chemical products on May 8th and 9th, including spot prices, futures prices, basis, basis rate, and their changes and historical quantiles [8]. 3.3 Market News - OPEC's oil production in April may have slightly decreased, despite the relaxation of voluntary production cuts.

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings - No industry investment ratings are provided in the reports. 2. Core Views of the Reports Methanol - The inland valuation has downward pressure. After the spring maintenance, production increases, downstream profits are divided. New acetic acid production capacity may boost demand but cannot reverse the loose supply - demand pattern. The port starts the inventory accumulation period, with imports in May recovering to 1.1 million tons. The low MTO operation rate suppresses demand, and the 09 contract is under pressure. It is recommended to short the MA09 contract on rallies. In the medium - long term, the supply - demand contradiction remains unsolved, and the rebound space is limited under the inventory accumulation expectation [1]. Polyolefins (LLDPE and PP) - For LLDPE, maintenance increases in May, and the import volume from May to June is expected to decline significantly, reducing the supply pressure in May. However, beware of an unexpected decline in demand. The cost has decreased, and it is recommended to keep short positions until low levels. For PP, although the supply pressure eases slightly during the second - quarter maintenance peak, the production is still high, demand has bottom - support but is weakening, and there is a downward risk in the long - term [4]. Urea - The supply - side capacity at a high level suppresses prices, and the demand - side export expectation provides limited support. The enterprise inventory reduction and port inventory accumulation offset each other. Policy control and international prices weaken the upward momentum. In the short - term, the spot is driven by sentiment, but in the medium - long term, the supply - demand contradiction remains unsolved, and the price is expected to be under pressure after high - level fluctuations [12]. PVC and Caustic Soda - For caustic soda, in the medium - long term, the alumina profit is worrying under over - expansion, the demand for caustic soda is insufficient, and new production capacity is to be put into use, so the supply - demand expectation is weak. In the short - term, the supply is in the centralized maintenance stage, the pre - holiday alumina demand has improved, and the spot price has increased. It is recommended to maintain a short - selling strategy, paying attention to the purchasing intention of major alumina plants in Shandong and the caustic soda plant inventory. For PVC, the supply - demand surplus contradiction is prominent, the real - estate chain is weak, the domestic demand is insufficient, and the export is mainly quantity - for - price. During the Indian Ramadan and rainy season, the demand is hard to increase. It is recommended to short on rallies, but beware of price rebounds due to policy stimuli [25]. Styrene - Pure benzene has a weak supply - demand situation domestically, and the high - volume imports and the potential decline in crude oil prices suppress the styrene market. The styrene market was sluggish yesterday, the port inventory continued to decline, and the downstream procurement was cautious after the holiday. With the stable production of domestic plants, the supply is expected to increase, and the supply - demand margin is under pressure. In the medium - term, the terminal pressure will gradually appear due to tariffs, and the crude oil trend is bearish. It is recommended to short styrene, with the upper - line resistance at 7300 [31]. Polyester Industry Chain - **PX**: Recently, due to the significant compression of PX profits, the unplanned losses of some PX factories have increased, tightening the second - quarter supply. Some PTA factory maintenance has been postponed, supporting short - term demand. With the short - term reduction of polyester inventory pressure and high polyester operation rate, short - term PX support is expected to be strong, but the terminal demand is still expected to be weak under the US tariff policy. - **PTA**: In May, many PTA plants are planned for maintenance, and the short - term polyester high operation rate supports PTA demand. The short - term supply - demand drive is strong, but the demand negative feedback and weak oil price expectation suppress the rebound. - **MEG**: In May, the industry has both maintenance and restart of plants. The domestic supply is expected to increase, but imports may decrease due to Saudi plant maintenance. Under the pressure of the crude oil system, the upward momentum is weak, and it is expected to fluctuate. - **Short - fiber**: After the holiday, the short - fiber factory inventory has decreased, but under the Sino - US tariff stalemate, the short - fiber drive is weaker than that of raw materials, and the processing fee is under pressure. - **Bottle - chip**: A 750,000 - ton device of Sanfangxiang is expected to resume production in May, increasing the supply. The downstream soft - drink industry is expected to increase production in May. The bottle - chip price follows the raw materials, and the processing fee is supported. [35] Crude Oil - Overnight, oil prices rebounded due to macro - factors (the US - UK trade framework agreement boosting market risk preference) and improved supply - demand fundamentals (a two - week decline in US crude oil inventory to the lowest level since late March and a contraction in Cushing inventory). Geopolitical risks have increased, and the option market shows bullish bets. In the short - term, macro and geopolitical factors promote oil price increases, but in the medium - long term, the loose supply situation remains unchanged, and the rebound sustainability is insufficient. It is recommended to wait and see on the long - short side, with the WTI price range at [58, 68], Brent at [60, 70], and SC at [450, 510]. It is recommended to bet on increased volatility in the options market [40]. 3.
