1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the document 2. Core View of the Report - This week, the confidence of long - position holders in natural rubber was frustrated, and the market is expected to be mainly in a volatile state before the holiday. Overseas raw material prices continued to decline slightly, weakening cost support. Although downstream enterprises stocked up before the holiday and inventory continued to decline, after the market's upward movement was blocked, long - position sentiment declined, and bearish sentiment increased, driving rubber prices to decline in a volatile manner [92]. 3.

Report Industry Investment Ratings No relevant content was found in the provided reports. Core Views of the Reports Natural Rubber - The current market lacks a clear directional guide, with a mix of long and short factors. Prices are mainly fluctuating within a range, with the 01 contract's reference range being 15,000 - 16,500. Follow-up attention should be paid to the raw material supply situation during the peak production season in the main producing areas. If the raw material supply is smooth, consider shorting at high levels [1]. Glass and Soda Ash - Soda ash is trending weakly following its own fundamental logic. The overall demand has no growth expectation, and the inventory may face further pressure. It is recommended to try shorting at high levels. - Glass has a weak demand in the deep - processing sector, and the industry needs to clear excess capacity. The short - selling logic on the disk is not over, and previous high - level short positions can be held [3]. Logs - The log futures are expected to fluctuate between 800 - 850. It is recommended to mainly go long at low levels with reference to the 01 contract [4]. Industrial Silicon - The price of industrial silicon fluctuates widely.

It is recommended to try going long at low levels, with the main price fluctuation range being 8,000 - 9,500 yuan/ton [5]. Polysilicon - Polysilicon is still facing inventory accumulation pressure. It is expected to mainly fluctuate at high levels, with the price range's lower limit rising to 47,000 yuan/ton and the upper limit being 58,000 - 60,000 yuan/ton. It is recommended to try going long at low levels and consider buying put options to short at high levels when volatility is low [6].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Report's Core View - The current oil price has been relatively undervalued, and its static fundamentals and dynamic forecasts remain favorable. It is a good opportunity for left - side layout. If the geopolitical premium re - emerges, the oil price will have more upside potential [3]. - For methanol, the valuation is still high, downstream demand is weak, and the price is under pressure. It is recommended to wait and see or short it within the sector when the price is high [5]. - For urea, although the current domestic demand is weak, the overall valuation is low, and the room for further decline is limited. It is advisable to go long at low prices and wait for potential positive factors [7]. - For rubber, a neutral approach is recommended for the short - term high - rising rubber price, with quick in - and - out operations. One can also consider a band - trading strategy of going long on RU2601 and shorting on RU2509 [11]. - For PVC, the supply is strong, demand is weak, and the valuation is high. The fundamentals are poor, and it is necessary to observe whether exports can reverse the domestic inventory build - up situation. The price may decline significantly after the anti - involution sentiment fades [11]. - For styrene, the BZN spread is expected to repair in the short term. After the high - level port inventory is reduced, the styrene price may oscillate upwards following the cost side [13][14]. - For polyethylene, the short - term price will be determined by the game between the cost side and the supply side. It is recommended to hold short positions [16]. - For polypropylene, the cost side will likely dominate the market, and the price is expected to follow the oil price and oscillate upwards [17]. - For PX, the load remains high, and it is expected to continue de - stocking. The valuation has support at the bottom but limited upside in the short term. One can consider going long following the oil price when the peak season arrives [19][20]. - For PTA, the supply is expected to continue building up inventory, and the processing fee has limited room for operation.
