Most trade offers fell, and downstream purchasing enthusiasm was low, with only rigid demand purchases [6] - There are no new investment plans in November. Some maintenance devices will be restarted one after another, and the device operating load may continue to increase, and the pressure of new capacity expansion will intensify the imbalance between supply and demand [6] - The seasonal peak of agricultural film production has passed, and the demand for pipes has increased first and then decreased. The production of PP woven bags has been boosted by packaging demand, and BOPP enterprises are mainly digesting inventory.

The mainstream price of North China drawstring was 6,220 - 6,450 yuan/ton, in East China was 6,330 - 6,550 yuan/ton, and in South China was 6,390 - 6,550 yuan/ton [7]

Report Industry Investment Ratings No relevant content provided. Core Views Methanol Market - The current methanol market is trading on the "weak reality" logic, with the core contradiction centered on high port inventories. The 01 contract faces challenges in inventory digestion, and the weak reality pattern may continue until Iranian gas restrictions are implemented. The 05 contract is expected to see significant inventory reduction, so attention can be focused on the MTO profit shrinkage opportunity of the 05 contract [1][3]. Polyester Industry Chain - PX supply is generally stable with some plant overhauls offset by xylene supplements. Demand has some support in the short - term, but the November supply - demand is expected to be loose, and price drivers are limited. PTA may have a slight inventory build - up, and its price rebound space is restricted. Ethylene glycol is expected to have a high inventory build - up in November - December, facing upward pressure. Short - fiber supply remains high in the short - term, but demand may weaken seasonally, and its price rebound space is limited. Bottle - chip supply and demand are in a loose pattern, and it follows cost fluctuations [6]. Polyolefin Market - PP supply increase is slowing due to more unplanned overhauls, while PE supply is expected to increase as overhauls peak. Demand has improved, but overall, there is pressure from increasing supply and decreasing demand.

PVC supply - demand is in an oversupply situation, and its price is expected to continue to fluctuate weakly at the bottom [11]. Pure Benzene and Styrene Market - Pure benzene supply is expected to be loose in November, with limited demand support and increasing port inventories. Its price driver is weak. Styrene supply may slightly decrease in November, demand is expected to change little, and its price driver is also limited [12].

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. Core Viewpoints - For crude oil, although the geopolitical premium has disappeared and OPEC's production increase is minimal with supply not yet surging, short - term oil prices should not be overly bearish. Maintain a range strategy of buying low and selling high, but currently wait and see to verify OPEC's export price - support willingness [3]. - For methanol, with rising domestic production and imports, and weakening demand, the pattern of increasing supply and weakening demand leads to high enterprise inventories.

With high supply pressure and weak demand, the overall inventory pressure is high. It may be supported when the supply - surplus pattern of the cost side changes in the first quarter of next year [21][22]. - For PX, the load remains high, but downstream PTA has many maintenance activities. PXN is expected to be under pressure in November, and it is recommended to wait and see [24][25]. - For PTA, the supply - side maintenance is expected to increase, and there is a high expectation of inventory reduction in November. However, the processing fee expansion is limited.

Report Industry Investment Ratings No relevant content provided. Core Views Polyolefin Industry - Supply: PP supply recovery slowed due to more unplanned maintenance, while PE supply is expected to increase as maintenance nears its peak. Overseas inventory clearance at the end of the year may impact the market [2]. - Demand: Demand has improved with increased downstream开工率, but the peak season for agricultural film is approaching, and demand is expected to decline [2]. - Strategy: The 01 contract faces inventory pressure, while the 05 contract may present long - term low - buying opportunities. A reverse spread strategy for the monthly spread is recommended [2]. Methanol Industry - Supply: The port methanol market is under pressure due to high inventory, postponed Iranian gas restrictions, and increased imports. The restart of domestic devices and overseas device shutdowns also affect the supply [5][6]. - Demand: Multiple MTO units reduced their loads due to profit issues, and subsequent maintenance is expected to increase [6]. - Strategy: The 01 contract will continue to trade the "weak reality" logic until Iranian gas restrictions take effect [6]. Polyester Industry Chain - PX: Supply is stable despite some plant maintenance, and demand has support in the short term. However, the November supply - demand is expected to be loose, and oil price support is limited. Strategies include reducing long positions above 6600 and short - selling on rallies, and narrowing the PX - SC spread [9]. - PTA: There are many planned maintenance in November, and demand is relatively high. But supply - demand is slightly loose, and oil price support is weak. Strategies include reducing long positions above 4600, short - selling on rallies, and a rolling reverse spread for TA1 - 5 [9]. - Ethylene Glycol: Overseas supply is high in November, and inventory accumulation is expected. Strategies include selling out - of - the - money call options on rallies and a reverse spread for EG1 - 5 [9]. - Short - fiber: Supply is high in the short term, but demand may decline seasonally. Cost support is limited. Strategies are similar to PTA, and narrowing the processing margin on rallies [9]. - Bottle - chip: Supply changes little, and demand is weak in the off - season.

Pure Benzene - Styrene Industry - Pure Benzene: Supply is expected to be loose with many device restarts and new capacity. Demand support is limited as downstream products are mostly in losses. Inventory in East China ports is increasing. Strategies include short - selling on rallies following oil price movements [10]. - Styrene: Supply may slightly decrease, and demand is expected to remain stable. Cost support is weakening. The market is currently in a loose supply - demand situation, and the price drive is limited. Strategies include short - selling on price rebounds for the EB12 contract [10]. PVC - Caustic Soda Industry - Caustic Soda: Supply is expected to increase in November with few maintenance enterprises. Demand support is weak as the alumina price is falling and downstream enterprises are consuming their own inventories. The price is expected to be weakly stable, and the overall trend is bearish [11]. - PVC: The supply - demand surplus situation persists. Demand from real estate and other downstream industries is weak, and new capacity will increase supply in November - December. The price is expected to continue to oscillate weakly at the bottom, and a short - selling strategy on rebounds is recommended [11].
