Group 1: Global Engine Orders - Huatai Securities predicts that global new orders for gas turbines are expected to achieve double-digit year-on-year growth. Siemens Energy anticipates a 38% increase in new orders to 36 GW for the fiscal year 2026, indicating a potential high-level year-on-year order growth for the calendar year 2026. General Electric's pre-booked agreements of 43 GW until the end of 2025 could lead to a 44% increase in new orders for 2026 if fully converted [2]. Group 2: Cyclical Sector Outlook - CITIC Construction Investment expresses optimism regarding the cyclical sector, highlighting opportunities for heavy asset industries to reverse their current challenges. Factors contributing to this include rising inflation expectations, continuous recovery in PPI, and increasing commodity prices, which benefit the balance sheets of heavy asset companies. Additionally, industries such as chemicals and building materials have undergone capacity clearing, and policies aimed at controlling growth and stabilizing prices are enhancing profitability. The stabilization of real estate in first-tier cities is expected to boost domestic demand and industry chain recovery, with a focus on chemicals, building materials, and electrical equipment sectors [3]. Group 3: Green Energy Transition - Everbright Securities notes that the transition from energy consumption dual control to carbon emission dual control in China, along with the implementation of the EU carbon tariff, will lead to a revaluation of carbon costs. Assets with low or negative carbon attributes, such as green aluminum, green hydrogen, and zero-carbon parks, are expected to gain a green premium. Non-electric applications in shipping fuel green alcohol, hydrogen storage, and carbon capture green ammonia, as well as hydrogen metallurgy, are likely to benefit from this trend [4].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating There is no information about the industry investment rating in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The price of crude oil continued to be highly volatile due to the Iran - US peace talks, and the downstream of the chemical industry steadily resumed work. The chemical industry followed crude oil into a weak adjustment pattern, with olefins performing significantly weaker than aromatics. The downstream of the industrial chain is steadily resuming work, and the raw material start - up has little change overall. The spring maintenance generally starts from March to May. The report expects that crude oil will continue to have high volatility, and chemical prices will continue to fluctuate and consolidate [2]. 3. Summary According to the Catalog 3.1 Market Views - **Crude Oil**: The next round of Iran - US negotiations will be held in early March, and geopolitics dominates the short - term market. The supply of crude oil is in a loose pattern this year, and the Brent spread has weakened significantly. Currently, the oil price is in the stage of geopolitical premium fermentation dominated by the Iran - US situation. The short - term outlook is for a volatile market [9]. - **Asphalt**: The asphalt futures price fluctuates in a narrow range. The long - term supply of asphalt raw materials is abundant. The current market focuses on the progress of the Iran - US negotiations, and the asphalt cracking spread has decreased significantly. The high - profit may drive refineries to switch to alternative raw materials, and the supply of heavy oil is expected to be loose, which may drive the asphalt futures price down. The asphalt inventory is accumulating, and the long - term valuation is expected to decline. The medium - term outlook is for a volatile market [9][10]. - **High - Sulfur Fuel Oil**: The fuel oil futures price still has a relatively high geopolitical premium. The US is helping Venezuela increase oil production, and the supply of heavy oil is expected to surge in the long - term, putting pressure on high - sulfur fuel oil. In the short - term, the market still highly focuses on the progress of the Iran - US negotiations. Once an agreement is reached, it may have a greater negative impact on high - sulfur fuel oil. The medium - term outlook is for a volatile market [10]. - **Low - Sulfur Fuel Oil**: Low - sulfur fuel oil fluctuates with crude oil. The decline in fuel oil exports from Brazil, Kuwait, and Nigeria in February has alleviated the oversupply expectation of low - sulfur fuel oil. Although low - sulfur fuel oil faces negative factors such as the decline in shipping demand, green energy substitution, and high - sulfur substitution, its current valuation is low and it is expected to follow the changes in crude oil. The medium - term outlook is for a volatile market [13]. - **PX**: The Asian PX price is generally firm, but the domestic market sentiment is poor, and the PX futures price has declined. The maintenance of some devices has been implemented, and the market expectations have been realized. It is expected that the high - supply pressure of PX in March will be alleviated, and the demand support from downstream PTA devices is increasing. The short - term price of PX will fluctuate under the resonance of cost support and market sentiment, and the medium - term logic of buying on dips remains. The medium - term outlook is for a volatile market [15]. - **PTA**: Some PTA devices have restarted earlier than expected, and the spot profit is under pressure in the short - term. With the restart of some devices, the PTA load is expected to increase in the short - term, and the factory inventory has increased significantly. It is expected that the price will remain at a high level in the short - term. The medium - term outlook is for a volatile market [16][17]. - **Pure Benzene**: The price of pure benzene fluctuates. Before the festival, the downstream replenishment of pure benzene basically ended, and the trading became lighter. After the festival, pure benzene opened higher to make up for the increase. The fundamentals of pure benzene may be in a transition period, and the inventory pressure is still large, but it is expected to improve in Q1 compared with Q4. The medium - term outlook is for a volatile market [21]. - **Styrene**: Styrene fluctuates due to seasonal inventory accumulation and crude oil fluctuations. Before the festival, the supply - demand of styrene became more relaxed, and the price declined. After the festival, the styrene futures price increased to make up for the increase. Attention should be paid to the inventory accumulation during the festival, the restart of some devices, and the resumption of work of downstream enterprises. The medium - term outlook is for a volatile market [22]. - **Ethylene Glycol**: The price of ethylene glycol rebounds limitedly due to supply - demand pressure, and the support at the bottom is increasing. The inventory pressure of ethylene glycol ports is relatively large, and the supply remains at a high level in the short - term, resulting in price pressure. In the medium - term, there is a weak improvement expectation in March and April, and the price has limited downward space. The short - term price will be in the range of 3600 - 3900 yuan/ton. The medium - term outlook is for a volatile market [24][26]. - **Polyester Staple Fiber**: The downstream orders of polyester staple fiber have not recovered, and the driving force is limited. The price of polyester raw materials has回调, and polyester staple fiber has followed the decline. The downstream yarn mills' load has increased rapidly, but the post - festival orders are still few, and the raw material procurement is mostly on the sidelines. The short - term price will follow the upstream and maintain a volatile trend, and the processing fee has stronger support at the bottom. The medium - term outlook is for a volatile market [27][28]. - **Polyester Bottle Chips**: The driving force of polyester bottle chips is limited, and it follows passively. The price of upstream polyester raw materials has declined, and the price of polyester bottle chips has followed the weak fluctuation. The trading atmosphere in the polyester bottle chip market has improved. The short - term price is expected to continue to follow the raw material cost. The medium - term outlook is for a volatile market [29][30]. - **Methanol**: Overseas geopolitical disturbances continue, and methanol fluctuates widely. The price of methanol has declined weakly. The inventory of the inland market is increasing, and the coastal market is still under high - inventory pressure. The Iranian methanol devices are expected to resume production in March. The market sentiment is affected by the macro - situation, and the futures price is weak. The medium - term outlook is for a volatile market [31]. - **Urea**: There is a co - existence of demand support and price - guidance pressure, and urea fluctuates and consolidates. The supply and demand of urea have both increased. The daily production of the industry is stable at a high level, and the agricultural demand for spring plowing in some regions is supporting, and the industrial demand is expected to increase steadily. The spot price is close to the price - guidance upper limit, and the new orders are more cautious. The medium - term outlook is for a volatile market [32]. - **Plastic**: The downstream of plastic gradually resumes work after the festival, and it fluctuates. The oil price fluctuates, and the commodity sentiment has improved after the festival. The inventory pressure in the middle of the plastic industry is not large, and the demand is in the transition between peak and off - peak seasons. There is still an expectation of macro - consumption policy support. The medium - term outlook is for a volatile market [35]. - **PP**: There are slight disturbances in the propane end, and PP fluctuates. The oil price fluctuates, and there are short - term disturbances in overseas propane, which indirectly boosts PP. The PDH profit of PP refineries is still under pressure, and the downstream is in the transition between peak and off - peak seasons. The resumption of work progress needs to be observed. There is still an expectation of macro - consumption policy support. The medium - term outlook is for a volatile market [36]. - **PL**: The powder profit is still under pressure, and PL fluctuates. Enterprises generally maintain stable prices, and high - price goods are under pressure. The downstream users purchase on a need - to - buy basis, and the short - term powder profit is weak. The downstream factories are expected to resume work around the Lantern Festival. The medium - term outlook is for a volatile market [37]. - **PVC**: The fundamental driving force is insufficient, and PVC may fluctuate. Geopolitical factors affect the commodity market sentiment. The upstream of PVC will have spring maintenance, but the "rush for exports" will cool down, and the high inventory is difficult to reduce smoothly. The medium - term outlook is for a volatile market [38]. - **Caustic Soda**: The cost has decreased, and caustic soda is under cautious pressure. Geopolitical factors affect the commodity market sentiment. The high inventory still suppresses the market, and the short - term futures price is mainly priced by cost. The comprehensive cost of caustic soda has decreased. The medium - term outlook is for a volatile market [39]. 3.2 Variety Data Monitoring - **Energy and Chemical Daily Index Monitoring** - **Inter - period Spread**: The report provides the inter - period spreads of various varieties such as Brent, Dubai, PX, PTA, MEG, etc., including the latest values and changes [41]. - **Basis and Warehouse Receipts**: It shows the basis and warehouse receipts of varieties like asphalt, high - sulfur fuel oil, low - sulfur fuel oil, etc., along with their changes [42]. - **Inter - variety Spread**: The inter - variety spreads of different varieties are presented, including the latest values and changes [43]. - **Chemical Basis and Spread Monitoring** - Although there are headings for various varieties such as methanol, urea, styrene, etc., there is no specific content provided in the report.
