Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No investment rating information is provided in the report. 2. Report's Core View - The crude oil 2511 contract is expected to run weakly, with short - term weak oscillation, medium - term oscillation, and an intraday decline [1][5]. 3. Summary According to Related Contents a. Price Movement and View Classification - For price movement calculation, for varieties with night trading, the night - trading closing price is the starting price; for those without, the previous day's closing price is used. The daily daytime closing price is the end price to calculate the rise - fall range [2]. - A decline greater than 1% is considered a fall, a decline of 0 - 1% is weak oscillation, a rise of 0 - 1% is strong oscillation, and a rise greater than 1% is an increase. Strong/weak oscillation only applies to intraday views, not short - and medium - term views [3][4]. b. Crude Oil Market Analysis - Core logic: During the National Day holiday, the unexpected shutdown of the US federal government led to a significant increase in global financial market risk - aversion sentiment. Gold futures strengthened, and other commodities were generally under pressure. 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. Although eight foreign ministers called for an end to the Gaza war, Israel's combat state remains unchanged. The US WTI and Brent crude oil futures prices dropped by about 1% during the holiday. With geopolitical premium support weaker than systematic risks, the domestic crude oil 2511 contract is expected to show a weakly oscillating trend on the first trading day after the holiday [5].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating The report does not explicitly provide an overall industry - wide investment rating. However, it offers individual outlooks for each energy and chemical product, which can be summarized as follows based on the rating standard: - **Oscillating**: PX, PTA, short - fiber, polyester bottle - chips, methanol, urea, LLDPE, PP, PL, PVC, caustic soda [11][12][18][19][22][25][26][27][29] - **Oscillating Weakly**: crude oil, asphalt, high - sulfur fuel oil, low - sulfur fuel oil, pure benzene, styrene, ethylene glycol [6][7][9][10][13][14][16] 2. Core Viewpoints - The crude oil price is in a volatile pattern during the National Day holiday. OPEC+ continues to increase production, and geopolitical factors still cause disruptions. The rebound space of crude oil is limited due to the weakening crack spread of refined oil [1][2]. - The prices of basic chemical products changed little during the National Day holiday. The industrial chain lacks a clear trend due to the volatile crude oil and the low valuation of chemicals. Investors can try positive spreads for severely loss - making products [2]. - Different energy and chemical products have different market trends. For example, asphalt prices are under pressure due to the expected increase in production; high - sulfur and low - sulfur fuel oils follow the trend of crude oil; methanol shows a slight inventory build - up during the holiday and oscillates [2]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs 3.1 Market News and Main Logic of Crude Oil - **Market News**: EIA raises the 2025 and 2026 US oil production forecasts. OPEC+ eight oil - producing countries will further increase production by 137,000 barrels per day in November. There are ongoing conflicts between Russia and Ukraine, and the Hamas reaches an agreement to end the Gaza war [6]. - **Main Logic**: During the holiday, oil prices first fell and then rose. OPEC+ continues to increase production, and the supply surplus pressure remains. The conflict between Palestine and Israel eases, and the geopolitical disturbances are mainly from the Russia - Ukraine conflict. The US commercial crude oil inventory and production increase, and the refinery operating rate rises. If geopolitical disturbances weaken, the oil price center may move down [7]. 3.2 Situation of Other Energy and Chemical Products - **Asphalt**: The expected increase in production puts pressure on asphalt futures prices. The geopolitical premium declines, and the supply tension eases. The asphalt price is over - valued compared to other products [9]. - **High - sulfur Fuel Oil**: The premium turns negative, and it follows the trend of crude oil. The demand has some improvement, but the major drivers are weakening [10]. - **Low - sulfur Fuel Oil**: It oscillates weakly following crude oil. It faces pressure at the 3500 level, and there are supply and demand challenges [10]. - **Methanol**: The inventory slightly accumulates during the holiday. The inland inventory pressure is limited, but the port inventory pressure is high. There may be short - term low - buying opportunities [22]. - **Urea**: The supply - demand pattern is loose. The impact of the Indian tender during the holiday is limited, and the short - term fundamentals are weak. The market may oscillate and wait for policy adjustments and the progress of autumn sowing [23]. - **PX**: The supply increases while the demand is weak, and the processing fee is under pressure. The inventory is expected to accumulate slightly in November and December [11]. - **PTA**: The cost side stabilizes, and attention should be paid to the implementation of downstream production cuts. The mid - term inventory accumulation is expected [12]. - **Ethylene Glycol**: The supply pressure is large during the National Day due to smooth device restarts. The port arrival volume increases, and the price is expected to oscillate weakly [16]. - **Short - fiber**: The cost guidance and self - supply - demand drive are limited. The inventory and profit remain within a certain range [18]. - **Polyester Bottle - chips**: Attention should be paid to whether factories strictly follow the production - cut plan after profit repair. The processing fee expansion space is limited [19]. - **Styrene**: The cost support gradually appears, but the high inventory of upstream and downstream is difficult to reduce. The profit is at a low level, and one can try to widen the profit [15]. - **LLDPE**: There are geopolitical disturbances during the holiday. The impact of oil prices on the opening of polyolefins is limited. The fundamental support is weak, and it is advisable to hold short positions [25]. - **PP**: OPEC+ increases production, and oil prices fluctuate widely during the holiday. The supply side has an incremental trend, and the inventory pressure exists. It oscillates in the short term [26]. - **PL**: Some devices stop during the holiday, and the market trading atmosphere is cautious. The volatility may increase [27]. - **PVC**: The fundamental pressure exists. The upstream production is expected to increase, and the downstream demand is stable.

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints - OPEC shows a hesitant attitude with a slightly stronger willingness to support prices than to expand market share, and the slight increase plan will continue to suppress the upside space of oil prices. Crude oil is expected to remain volatile in the short term [1]. - The fundamentals of methanol have marginally improved, and the downside space is expected to be relatively limited. It is recommended to focus on short - long opportunities on dips [3]. - Urea is currently in a situation of low valuation and weak drivers. With no effective positive factors in reality, it is suggested to focus on going long on dips at low prices [5]. - For rubber, the medium - term view is bullish, but it has broken down in the short term. It is recommended to set stop - losses and enter short - long positions opportunistically, and to partially re - establish the hedge position of buying RU2601 and selling RU2511 [12]. - The fundamentals of PVC are poor, with strong domestic supply and weak demand, and the export outlook is weak. In the short term, the valuation has declined to a low level, and it is recommended to focus on short - selling opportunities on rallies in the medium term [14]. - The spot and futures prices of pure benzene and styrene are falling, and the basis is weakening. The BZN spread has a large upward repair space, and the price of styrene may stop falling when the downstream starts to rise and the port inventory is depleted [17]. - The price of polyethylene may oscillate upward in the long term as the long - term contradiction shifts from cost - driven decline to the Korean ethylene clearance policy. In the short term, it may gap down at the opening [20]. - For polypropylene, there is a large supply pressure, and the downstream start - up rate rebounds seasonally at a low level. There is no prominent short - term contradiction, and the high number of warehouse receipts suppresses the price [23]. - For PX, the current load is high, and the expected inventory accumulation period continues. It is recommended to wait and see in the short term [26]. - For PTA, the supply - side unexpected maintenance volume is still high, and the inventory depletion pattern continues. However, the processing fee space is limited. It is recommended to wait and see in the short term [27]. - For ethylene glycol, the domestic supply is high, and the port inventory is expected to be low in the short term but will turn to inventory accumulation in the fourth quarter. It is recommended to short on rallies under the weak outlook, but beware of the risk of the weak expectation not being realized [29].
