Methanol - The short - term market is affected by geopolitical factors. The long - term supply - demand pattern is improving, but there is great uncertainty [48]. Caustic Soda - Overseas chlor - alkali production has declined, and domestic caustic soda exports have increased. The 05 contract price may continue to rise [50]. Asphalt - Asphalt prices follow oil prices, and attention should be paid to post - winter - storage replenishment demand [50][51]. PVC - PVC may oscillate strongly in the short - term. The long - term supply - demand pattern has not improved, and an oscillating strategy can be adopted [51][53]. Polyester Industry Chain - The short - term trend is dominated by oil prices and market sentiment. In the long - term, attention should be paid to device maintenance and demand recovery [54].
