1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - For crude oil, although the geopolitical premium has dissipated and OPEC's production increase is minimal with supply not yet surging, short - term excessive bearishness on oil prices is not advisable. A low - buying and high - selling range strategy is maintained, but current prices need to test OPEC's export price - support willingness. Short - term waiting for OPEC's export decline during price drops is recommended [3]. - For methanol, the positive impact of Iranian device shutdowns is being realized, and the market has risen significantly. However, the 01 contract has limited time and high near - end inventories. The supply remains high, and demand changes little. The market is expected to bottom out gradually, but due to the rapid short - term rise, it is advisable to wait and see [6]. - For urea, prices are oscillating and rising at the bottom, relatively resistant to decline. Supply - side enterprise profits are low, and production has slightly decreased but is still high year - on - year. Demand has improved, and with export policies and cost support, the downside is limited. It is expected to build a bottom through oscillation, and low - price long - position allocation can be considered [9]. - For rubber, a bullish short - term trading approach with stop - loss settings is recommended. A partial position in the hedge of buying RU2601 and selling RU2609 can be established [16]. - For PVC, the industry has low comprehensive enterprise profits and high supply. Domestic demand is weak, and it is difficult to reverse the supply - surplus situation. Mid - term short - position allocation on price increases is recommended [18]. - For pure benzene and styrene, the supply of styrene is under pressure, but port inventories are decreasing significantly. Styrene prices may stop falling periodically [21]. - For polyethylene, the price is expected to oscillate at a low level. The cost - side impact has shifted, and although inventories are decreasing, high historical warehouse receipts suppress the market [24]. - For polypropylene, in a supply - demand weak situation with high inventory pressure, the market may be supported when the cost - side supply - surplus pattern changes in the first quarter of next year [27]. - For PX, it is expected to accumulate a small amount of inventory in November. With a neutral valuation, there is a risk of valuation callback [30]. - For PTA, the supply is expected to be stable, and demand may maintain a high level in the short term. However, PX has a risk of valuation callback, and PTA processing fees have limited upside [32]. - For ethylene glycol, the supply - demand pattern is expected to be weak in the medium term. With a neutral - to - low valuation, mid - term short - position allocation on price increases is recommended [36]. 3.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The investment view of the polyester industry is "oscillating", and it is expected to be mainly on the strong side with no obvious driving force [4]. 2. Core View of the Report - The tight supply of PX is expected to continue until 2026, which is beneficial to the PTA market. The PTA supply is slightly tightened, the polyester industry maintains a high operating rate, and the export prospects of polyester products are optimistic. Overall, the polyester market is expected to be strong [4][67]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs PART ONE: Main Views and Strategy Overview - **Supply**: The tight supply of PX raw materials is intensified as refineries prioritize using reformate for gasoline blending. The tight PX supply - demand pattern is expected to last until 2026, benefiting the PTA market [4]. - **Demand**: PTA supply is slightly tightened, the polyester industry operating rate remains stable above 90%. The export inquiry of polyester products has increased, and the export prospects are optimistic [4]. - **Inventory**: PTA port inventory has increased this week, and the market is in a continuous inventory - building state [4]. - **Basis**: The PTA basis has continued to strengthen, and the PTA profit remains at a low level [4]. - **Profit**: The spread between PX and naphtha is $260, and the PTA processing fee remains at a low level of around $200 [4]. - **Valuation**: The PTA price is at a neutral - low level. With the decline of reformer unit profit, the absolute PTA price rebounds under the tight PX situation [4]. - **Macro Policy**: According to the UK's Daily Telegraph, if Trump's Ukraine peace plan is implemented, Russia may be lifted from Western sanctions [4]. - **Investment View**: It is expected to be mainly on the strong side with no obvious driving force [4]. - **Trading Strategy**: For unilateral trading, it is recommended to wait and see, and pay attention to geopolitical risks [4]. PART TWO: Oil Product Fundamentals Overview - **Crude Oil**: Rumors of a Russia - Ukraine agreement have led to weak crude oil prices. On November 21, Ukrainian President Zelensky agreed to work on a peace plan drafted by the US and Russia [6][10]. - **Gasoline**: US gasoline inventory has been continuously decreasing. The low inventory of US gasoline supports the aromatics market. The cracking profit of gasoline has reached a two - year high, and more reformate is used for internal gasoline blending [11][29]. PART THREE: Aromatics Fundamentals Overview - **Aromatics**: The supply of PX has shrunk, and the futures price is leading the spot price. The cross - regional arbitrage space for aromatics has opened, and there are rumors of physical goods circulation. The profit of selective disproportionation has declined, and the maintenance of reformer units has increased [32][42][48]. - **PX**: It is the core of polyester industry price fluctuations. The pricing is closely linked to futures after the listing of PX futures. The supply in November reached a high for the year, but the strong gasoline blending profit restricts the production increase willingness of overseas producers. The demand is healthy overall, but there are potential pressures on the 2026 contract negotiation [51][60]. PART FOUR: Polyester Fundamentals Overview - **Ethylene Glycol**: The inventory at East China ethylene glycol ports has increased significantly compared with last week. With the continuous decline of coal prices, the ethylene glycol price lacks effective support. The new device production increases the supply pressure, but the increase in polyester export inquiries is expected to support the demand [81]. - **Polyester**: The polyester industry maintains a high load, and the weaving load is optimistic. The export demand is expected to boost the market [91][93].

Investment Strategy - The oil and gas capital expenditure trend is declining, leading to a slowdown in supply growth. Since the signing of the Paris Agreement in 2015, global capital expenditure in the oil and gas upstream sector has significantly decreased, with a notable drop of nearly 22% from the 2014 peak to $351 billion in 2021. This trend is expected to continue as major energy companies face pressure to decarbonize and shift focus towards energy transition and renewable projects [9][25][27] - The current active drilling rig count in the US remains low, with new well costs closely aligned with current oil prices, limiting profit margins. The growth rate of US oil production is anticipated to slow down, with evidence emerging from the first half of 2025 [9][25][27] Oil Market - Brent crude oil spot price is currently at $63.54 per barrel, reflecting a week-on-week increase of 0.63%, while WTI crude oil is at $59.43 per barrel, down 0.43% [10][28] - The geopolitical situation, particularly the easing of tensions in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, is contributing to a volatile oil price environment. The expectation of a breakthrough in diplomatic negotiations has led to fluctuations in oil prices [10][28] Coal Market - The average market price for Qinhuangdao port thermal coal (Q5500) is reported at 820 RMB per ton, with a week-on-week increase of 0.35%. However, the market is experiencing a stalemate as downstream demand remains cautious towards high prices [11][12] - The total inventory at nine ports in the Bohai Rim is reported at 23.93 million tons, up 6.74% week-on-week, while southern ports report a decrease of 1.48% to 603.8 million tons [11][12] Coking Coal Market - Coking coal prices are experiencing a high-level consolidation, with the price of coking coal at the Jingtang port reported at 1,780 RMB per ton, down 4.30% week-on-week. The price of coking coal is less regulated compared to thermal coal, allowing producers to benefit from price increases [13][14] - The average daily iron output from 247 steel mills is reported at 2.3621 million tons, reflecting a slight decrease of 0.30% week-on-week, indicating a weak demand environment for steel products [13][14] Natural Gas Market - Russian LNG is entering the Chinese market at prices 20-30% lower than market rates, despite US pressure on Japan and Europe to halt imports of Russian LNG. This influx is contributing to a stable supply environment [14][15] - The average price of natural gas in the US is reported at $4.44 per million British thermal units, down 1.4% week-on-week, while European gas prices are on the rise [14][15] Oilfield Services - The oilfield services sector is expected to maintain its growth due to government policies aimed at ensuring energy security. The capital expenditure of major oil companies is projected to remain high, supporting the oilfield services industry's outlook [16][17] - The global active rig count is reported at 1,800, with a slight decrease in the Middle East and Asia-Pacific regions, while the US shows a week-on-week increase of 5 rigs [16][17]

PTA inventory decreased and the basis strengthened. The PX market price has rebounded due to limited production. PTA supply has slightly shrunk, polyester production remains stable, and domestic polyester exports are still optimistic. Downstream weaving performance is good, and export demand may improve [2] MEG - The inventory at the East China ethylene glycol port increased by 120,000 tons compared to last week. Ethylene prices cannot support the strengthening of ethylene glycol prices. New device launches are putting pressure on prices. Coal price increases have not provided strong cost support, and the profit of coal - based ethylene glycol has been repaired. The reduction of tariffs may increase textile and clothing export demand [2] Group 4: Device News - A 900,000 - ton/year ethylene glycol plant in Singapore, originally scheduled to restart around the end of December 2025, has postponed its restart, and the new restart plan is unknown. The plant stopped production in August 2025 [3]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - For crude oil, although the geopolitical premium has dissipated and OPEC's production increase is minimal with supply not yet surging, short - term oil prices should not be overly bearish. A range - trading strategy of buying low and selling high is maintained, but it's advisable to wait and see for now to verify OPEC's export price - support intention [2]. - For methanol, the futures market is in a weak downward trend. High port inventories persistently suppress prices and the monthly structure. Supply remains high while demand shows little change. The market is trading on weak - reality logic, and prices may further decline [4]. - For urea, prices are oscillating at the bottom and showing relative resilience. With improved demand and cost support, the downside is limited, and it's expected to build a bottom through oscillation. A strategy of buying on dips is recommended [7]. - For PVC, the supply - demand situation is poor with strong supply and weak demand in China. Although the valuation has dropped to a low level, it still can't support the current supply - demand imbalance. A strategy of short - selling on rallies is suggested in the medium term [12]. - For pure benzene and styrene, the port inventory of styrene is decreasing significantly, and with the seasonal peak in demand, styrene prices may stop falling temporarily [18]. - For polyethylene, the price is expected to remain in a low - level oscillation. The cost - driven downward trend has shifted to the issue of South Korean ethylene clearance [21]. - For polypropylene, in a situation of weak supply and demand with high inventory pressure, there is no prominent short - term contradiction. The price may be supported when the supply - surplus situation in the cost side changes in the first quarter of next year [23]. - For PX, it is expected to experience a slight inventory build - up in November. With a neutral valuation and weakening aromatics blending data, there is a risk of valuation correction [27]. - For PTA, the supply of unexpected outages is expected to decrease, and demand may remain high in the short term. However, PTA processing fees have limited upside, and there is a risk of PXN valuation correction [29]. - For ethylene glycol, the supply - demand outlook is weak. Although the inventory build - up may slow down, a strategy of short - selling on rallies is recommended in the medium term [32]. 3.
