1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided 2. Core Viewpoints - The butadiene rubber market this week was mainly affected by the news of natural rubber and butadiene. With no clear positive signs in the supply - demand fundamentals, downstream continuous price - pressing led to weak trading performance. The inventory of sample producers increased, and the inventory of sample trading enterprises decreased slightly. The BR2601 contract is expected to fluctuate in the range of 10,250 - 10,700 in the short term [2]. - As the production of previously overhauled enterprises gradually resumes to normal levels, the capacity utilization rate of domestic tire enterprises increased last week. However, the shipment pace of each tire enterprise was slow, and short - term production control behavior still exists, so the increase in the overall capacity utilization rate is expected to be limited [2]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Futures Market - The closing price of the main contract of synthetic rubber was 10,515 yuan/ton, a week - on - week increase of 105 yuan/ton; the position of the main contract was 27,454, a week - on - week decrease of 2,743; the 1 - 2 spread of synthetic rubber was - 15 yuan/ton, a week - on - week increase of 10 yuan/ton; the total warehouse receipt quantity of butadiene rubber was 4,340 tons, a week - on - week increase of 1,000 tons [2]. 3.2 Spot Market - The mainstream price of BR9000 from Qilu Petrochemical in Shandong was 10,450 yuan/ton; the mainstream price of BR9000 from Daqing Petrochemical in Shandong was 10,400 yuan/ton; the mainstream price of BR9000 from Daqing Petrochemical in Shanghai was 10,450 yuan/ton; the mainstream price of BR9000 from Maoming Petrochemical in Guangdong was 10,700 yuan/ton.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content 2. Core Viewpoints - The synthetic rubber is expected to operate weakly within the valuation range in the short - term, with the upper pressure at 10,600 - 10,570 yuan/ton and the lower support at 9,800 - 9,900 yuan/ton. The NR - BR spread is expected to oscillate at a high level. The butadiene is expected to oscillate in the short - term and maintain a low - level oscillation in the medium - term [2][4] - The butadiene is currently in the supply - demand pricing stage, with a low correlation with the raw material end [10] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Synthetic Rubber 3.1.1 Supply - This cycle, the output of high - cis butadiene rubber was 29,500 tons, a 4.76% increase from the previous cycle, and the capacity utilization rate was 73.53%, a 3.34 - percentage - point increase. Next cycle, Gaoqiao Petrochemical and Zhenhua New Materials are expected to resume production [4] - Some enterprises' production schedules are lower than normal levels, and some enterprises still have maintenance arrangements, which limit the increase in capacity utilization [4] 3.1.2 Demand - In terms of rigid demand, the capacity utilization rate of sample tire enterprises is expected to increase next cycle, but the increase is limited due to slow shipment and production control by enterprises. In terms of substitution demand, the NR - BR spread remains high, and the overall demand for butadiene rubber maintains a high year - on - year growth rate [4] 3.1.3 Inventory - As of December 3, 2025, the domestic butadiene rubber inventory was 32,300 tons, a 0.34% decrease from the previous cycle. The inventory of sample production enterprises increased, while that of sample trading enterprises decreased slightly [4] 3.1.4 Valuation - The static valuation range of butadiene rubber futures fundamentals is 9,700 - 10,700 yuan/ton. The valuation logic has switched, with the NR - BR spread supporting the lower valuation and the cost line of butadiene also providing support. The upper valuation of the disk is around 10,600 - 10,700 yuan/ton [4] 3.1.5 Strategy - Unilateral: Operate weakly within the short - term fundamental valuation range, with upper pressure at 10,600 - 10,570 yuan/ton and lower support at 9,800 - 9,900 yuan/ton. Cross - variety: The NR - BR spread is at a high valuation and is expected to oscillate at a high level [4] 3.2 Butadiene 3.2.1 Supply - This cycle (20251128 - 1204), the estimated weekly output of Chinese butadiene industry sample enterprises was 112,200 tons, a 0.80% decrease from the previous cycle. Next week, it is expected to be about 113,500 tons, an increase from this cycle [5] - Due to the high ethylene cracking start - up in China in the fourth quarter, the domestic butadiene output and imports are at a year - on - year high. However, the Asian regional start - up rate has declined, resulting in a slight reduction in butadiene supply [4] 3.2.2 Demand - In the medium - term, the start - up rates of butadiene rubber and styrene - butadiene rubber remain high, and the demand for butadiene maintains a year - on - year high. In the short - term, the rigid demand for butadiene from synthetic rubber is expected to increase in December. The demand from ABS is expected to remain constant, and that from SBS remains stable [4][7] 3.2.3 Inventory - This cycle (20251127 - 1203), the total inventory of domestic butadiene samples decreased by 7.41% from the previous week. The inventory of sample enterprises increased slightly, and the port inventory decreased by 13.11%. As of December 3, the latest inventory in East China ports was about 41,100 tons, a decrease of 6,200 tons from the previous cycle. The inventory is still at a relatively high level [7] 3.2.4 Viewpoint - In the short - term, the low absolute price drives downstream periodic restocking, the transaction improves, and the price stabilizes. The Asian butadiene start - up rate has declined slightly, and the fundamental pattern has improved marginally. In the medium - term, the high supply of butadiene remains the main contradiction, and the price is expected to maintain a low - level oscillation [5] 3.3 Capacity Expansion 3.3.1 Butadiene - In 2024, the total new capacity was 380,000 tons; in 2025, it was 940,000 tons; and it is expected to be 620,000 tons in 2026. The expansion speed and amplitude of butadiene are slightly faster than those of its downstream industries [12][14] 3.3.2 Downstream Products of Butadiene - **Butadiene Rubber**: The capacity increased by 200,000 tons in 2025 and is expected to increase by 190,000 tons in 2026 [20] - **Styrene - Butadiene Rubber**: The capacity increased by 60,000 tons in 2025 and is expected to increase by 220,000 tons in 2026 [22][23] - **ABS**: The capacity is expected to increase by 1,635,000 tons in 2025 and 1,300,000 tons in 2026 [30][32] - **SBS**: The capacity increased by 360,000 tons in 2025 and is expected to increase by 55,000 tons in 2026 [34][35]

合成橡胶投资周报:主流供价大幅下调,BR维持低位震荡运行-20251201
Guo Mao Qi Huo· 2025-12-01 04:53
1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The investment rating for the butadiene rubber industry is neutral [3] 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The butadiene production has declined, and the output of cis - butadiene rubber is gradually recovering. The cost - side support is insufficient, the mainstream supply price of cis - butadiene rubber has been significantly reduced, the synthetic processing profit is still good, and the futures price is oscillating [3] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalog 3.1 Market Review - As of November 27, 2025, the ex - factory price of Sinopec's BR9000 was 10,400 yuan/ton, and that of PetroChina's sales companies was between 10,400 - 10,500 yuan/ton. The butadiene market fluctuated narrowly, lacking cost - side support. The production profit of cis - butadiene rubber remained good. The domestic production of cis - butadiene rubber slightly decreased, but the supply of private resources was abundant. The downstream continued to push down prices, and the transaction prices of private resources in North China were suppressed near 10,000 yuan. The supply prices of Sinopec and PetroChina's cis - butadiene rubber were reduced, and high - price quotations gradually declined, with mostly small orders for rigid demand [6] 3.2 Supply - **Butadiene**: Last week, the domestic butadiene production was [data unclear] tons, with a capacity utilization rate of [data unclear]%. During the week, some plants such as Nanjing Chengzhi, Sierbang, Yanshan Petrochemical, and Guangzhou Petrochemical remained shut down, and some plants of Shanghai Petrochemical, Maoming Petrochemical, and Sinochem Quanzhou were shut down for maintenance. Meanwhile, Shenghong Refining & Chemical reduced its load, resulting in a decline in production [3] - **Cis - butadiene rubber**: The Maoming Petrochemical cis - butadiene rubber plant was under regular maintenance, and the cis - butadiene rubber plants of Zhenhua New Materials and Zhejiang Petrochemical were expected to gradually resume production after restarting [3] 3.3 Demand - **Semi - steel tires**: The sales of semi - steel winter tires were average, with sufficient social inventory. Due to less snowfall, demand did not increase significantly, channel inventory digestion was slow, and the replenishment willingness was low. For all - season tires, the overall transaction remained dull, with weak and stable market demand. At the end of the month, agents had some replenishment needs [3] - **All - steel tires**: The market transactions became weaker, affected by the off - season and shortage of working capital. However, due to the pressure of purchase tasks at the end of the month, agents still replenished goods, and also pushed goods to channels to relieve their own inventory pressure. The overall market transaction price decreased steadily, with self - promotion and negotiation room [3] 3.4 Inventory - **Butadiene**: Last week, the port inventory of butadiene was 47,300 tons, a [data unclear]% increase from the previous week. Some plants were under maintenance and reduced load during the week, so the enterprise inventory did not increase significantly. Recently, ship cargoes continued to arrive at the port, and some trade volumes were transferred slowly. The port inventory may remain under pressure in the short term [3] - **Cis - butadiene rubber**: The inventory of high - cis cis - butadiene rubber enterprises and traders was 32,440 tons, a [data unclear]% increase from the previous week. The supply of private resources was sufficient, the downstream was determined to push down prices, the negotiation focus of spot goods continued to be under pressure, and the inventories of production enterprises and trading enterprises both increased [3] 3.5 Basis - The basis of cis - butadiene rubber in North China was - 415 yuan/ton, in East China was - 265 yuan/ton, and in South China was - 215 yuan/ton [3] 3.6 Spread/Price Ratio - The spread between RU - BR was 4,995 yuan/ton ([data unclear]%), the spread between NR - BR was 1,860 yuan/ton ([data unclear]), and the price ratio of BR - SC was - 0.15% [3] 3.7 Profit - The production gross profit of butadiene by oxidative dehydrogenation of butene was - 1,814 yuan/ton, and that by C4 extraction was 587 yuan/ton. The production gross profit of cis - butadiene rubber was 152.08 yuan/ton, with a gross profit margin of 5.98% [3] 3.8 Geopolitical and Macroeconomic Factors - The US non - farm payrolls in September increased by 119,000, far exceeding the market expectation of 50,000, but the unemployment rate rose to 4.4%. The US Department of Labor revised down the non - farm payroll data for July and August. The market was optimistic about the upcoming Russia - Ukraine peace agreement, which dominated the recent oil price trend. The geopolitical situation between the US and Venezuela was tense, and the US military might take land actions. Sino - Japanese relations deteriorated due to the Japanese Prime Minister's remarks on the Taiwan issue, and China took corresponding counter - measures. The floods in Thailand were positive for the rubber price sentiment, but due to high supply and inventory, the increase in the futures price was small [3] 3.9 Investment and Trading Strategies - **Investment view**: Neutral [3] - **Trading strategy**: For unilateral trading, there is no recommendation. For arbitrage, pay attention to going long on BR and shorting NR/RU. Risks to focus on include downstream demand, cost changes, plant maintenance, and geopolitical situations [3]
