Core Views of the Report - Crude oil: There is a situation of strong reality and weak expectation. Pay attention to OPEC's production increase and changes in US production capacity. As OPEC+ gradually expands production, the pressure of oversupply in oil prices will gradually rise, and there is a large downward pressure on oil prices [1][4]. - LPG: The cost - end oil price is weak, downstream demand is fair, the basis is at a high level, and the downward support is gradually increasing [1]. - L: The proportion of coal - based plastics is 20%. It is less affected by anti - involution. Spot replenishment willingness is insufficient, and social inventory continues to accumulate. It mainly rebounds following market sentiment in the short term [1]. - PP: Demand follow - up is insufficient, and commercial total inventory accumulates. It rebounds following market sentiment. The export is expected to maintain a high growth rate in the future, but the production pressure in the third quarter is relatively high, which limits the upside space [1]. - PVC: The anti - involution trading continues. Short - term sentiment and cost support the bottom. The fundamentals are marginally weakening, and the supply - demand pattern in July tends to accumulate inventory [1]. - PX: Supply and demand are in a tight - balance state. PX inventory is decreasing but still at a relatively high level. PXN is not low, and there are recent macro - positive factors under the anti - involution policy [1]. - PTA/PR: There are relatively few changes in the device recently. The pressure on the supply side is expected to increase with the commissioning of new devices. The demand side is weakly bottoming out. It is affected by the anti - involution policy [1]. - Ethylene glycol: There are not many changes in domestic and foreign ethylene glycol devices. Arrival and imports are lower than the same period. Demand is in the traditional off - season, and orders need further improvement. The basis is strong, and low inventory supports the price [1]. - Glass: The fundamentals have improved. The production capacity fluctuates slightly at a low level, and the upstream inventory continues to decline. It is supported by anti - involution policies and coal - based production line technological transformation expectations [2]. - Soda ash: There are both device overhauls and restarts recently. The supply is increasing, and the inventory is accumulating. It follows the improvement of commodity sentiment in the short term [2]. - Caustic soda: The supply is approaching saturation with the increase in production capacity utilization and the expectation of new production capacity. The demand from the main downstream alumina has recovered, but non - aluminum demand is still weak [2]. - Methanol: Domestic methanol device overhauls have led to a decline in the comprehensive operating load, but overseas devices have recovered. Demand is relatively good, and social inventory is accumulating but at a relatively low level [2]. - Urea: The resumption of overhauled devices is expected to increase daily production. Industrial demand is improving, and fertilizer exports are growing rapidly. There are short - term macro - positive policies [2]. - Asphalt: The cost - end oil price is oscillating weakly, and the raw material supply is sufficient. Supply and demand are both decreasing, and inventory is accumulating. The valuation is relatively high [2]. - Propylene: The spot market is weak. The futures are expected to be in a short - term sideways shock. Considering the anti - involution trading, it is cautiously bullish on the long side [2]. 3.
