Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints - Recently, the capital market has continued to advance, with risk appetite being optimistic and exuberant. The interest rate cut trading has generally dominated the market, and most risk assets have closed higher. The VIX volatility index has dropped significantly and is operating at a historical low [7]. - Overseas, the resilience of inflation and the turmoil among Fed officials, along with Powell's remarks, have continuously disturbed the interest rate cut expectations.

The BDI index has significantly declined, and the US Treasury yields and the US dollar index have both dropped. Non - US currencies have generally benefited, and the commodity trends have been divergent [7]. - In China, the "anti - involution" market has cooled down.

Among the specific commodity futures variety indices, the top - rising commodity futures varieties are TA, staple fiber, and bottle chips, while the top - falling commodity futures varieties are coking coal, ferrosilicon, and soda ash [24]. 5.

In terms of economic challenges, the labor market is in a "fragile balance" with rising employment downward risks, economic growth has slowed down, inflation pressure exists, and policy - making faces challenges. In terms of the monetary policy framework, it has abandoned the focus on the effective lower bound (ELB), the average inflation target system (AIT), and the "employment shortfall" wording, and emphasized inflation expectation anchoring, conflict - goal balancing, and other aspects [92][104]. 10.

The A - shares have strongly risen, breaking through 3800 and reaching a 10 - year high.

This Week's Focus - A series of economic data releases and events are worth noting this week, including German and US economic data, central bank meetings and speeches, and corporate product launches [125].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided regarding the report industry investment rating. 2. Core Views of the Report - In the context of concerns about the reduction of production capacity and restructuring in the South Korean petrochemical industry, the chemical sector rose significantly on Wednesday afternoon. If the restructuring, reduction, or suspension of production in the South Korean petrochemical industry affects PX, the impact will be relatively large, and currently, the impact is concentrated on naphtha cracking [1]. - The cost - side is affected by the meeting between the leaders of the US and Russia, and the negotiation situation is good but no agreement has been reached. Attention should be paid to the US - Ukraine summit this week. The PX balance sheet has changed from destocking to a loose balance, and the fundamentals have weakened month - on - month. The floating price of near - month PX has weakened, but PX is still in a low - inventory state. The demand side of PTA has passed the most pessimistic period, and the supply - demand situation has improved in the short term due to PTA maintenance, but the price is suppressed by the mainstream suppliers' shipments [2]. - The polyester operating rate is 89.4% (a month - on - month increase of 0.6%). The most pessimistic period of the current off - season for demand has passed, and there are signs of improvement in local orders. The load of weaving and texturing has rebounded, and the sales of filament factories have increased. It is expected that the polyester load will continue to stabilize and rise in the short term [3]. - For the single - side strategy, PX/PTA/PF/PR are rated as neutral. For the cross - variety strategy, short the PTA processing fee when it is high and long the PR processing fee when it is low. There is no cross - period strategy [4][5]. 3.
