Iron ore
[Trading Strategy]
Night market iron ore price fluctuated slightly, the market price fell for three consecutive days, the current black market continued to decline, and the market pessimism was released. fundamentals , the current differences in the iron ore market are that, first, the pessimistic expectation of steel demand for terminal real estate has led to a strong basis for the main contract and a long-term discount structure. Second, the spot market is not pessimistic, steel mills imported iron ore inventory is low, and iron and water production continues to operate at a high level. From the perspective of supply and demand logic, the iron ore supply side is expected to shrink, and iron ore port inventory is expected to continue to be destocked. At the same time, considering that scrap steel consumption is expected to decline in the near future, it will support the high operation of iron and water production and further drive the demand for iron ore. Looking at the future market, it is difficult for the current market to trade pessimistic expectations of terminal demand again, and there is limited room for further price decline, and it is expected that the market price will stabilize and rebound.
Strategy: It is recommended to go long for iron ore 01, with 1/5 of the cross-period arbitrage mainly.

Steel
[Trading Strategy]
Last night, the United States announced September core CPI data, which showed that September cpi rose 8.2% year-on-year, slightly exceeding market expectations. The market is worried that the Federal Reserve's Fed has raised interest rates sharply in November, and the macro pressure is highlighted. The average daily iron production of steel mills 247 was 2.4015 million tons, an increase of 2,000 tons month-on-month. Social financing data in September was released. The five major materials data showed that the production of panels continued to rebound and inventory accumulation. Steel mills lacked their willingness to reduce blast furnaces, and the pressure on panels was greater than building materials. Spot market weakened after the holiday, with a strong wait-and-see sentiment in the overall high-price zone, and low-price sentiment dragging down transactions. Pay attention to the cumulative pressure caused by the decline in demand during important meetings, and there is certain support after the short-term blast furnace profit break-even.
unilateral: After short orders take profit, it is recommended to wait for the rebound to short opportunities.
Arbitrage: Long steel mills profits or long snail ore ratios, risk points: crude steel output rises beyond expectations, raw material supply decreases beyond expectations, etc.

Coking coal coke
[Trading Strategy]
After coal coke opened low last night, fluctuated narrowly within , At the macro level, my country's social financing data in September was released, better than market expectations, but the current monthly growth of social financing may be different from real estate sales data, and the market is still cautious about medium- and long-term steel demand; and last night, the US's unseasoned CPI annual rate recorded 8.2%, and the US's unseasoned core CPI annual rate recorded 6.6%, the highest since August 1982; data shows that inflation continues to maintain a strong momentum, and the market expects the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates by 75 basis points in November, and commodities collectively opened lower. At the industrial level, yesterday's data from the Steel Union showed that the double coke inventory continued to be sold, with coke destocking of 152,000 tons and coke coal destocking of 767,000 tons. This is mainly due to the recent strict safety supervision of coal mines in the production area. Coal coke prices rose, coke companies suffered losses, construction fell, and supply contraction, but iron and water production increased, the supply and demand pattern of coal coke was still tight and transportation has not fully recovered. After a sharp decline, the valuation of coal coke was relatively low. In the short term, coal coke may have a strong potential. Pay attention to domestic and foreign policies and steel demand.

nickel and stainless steel
prices of nickel and stainless steel rebounded sharply on Thursday. From the market perspective, the US CPI was higher than expected, and the entire market fell first and then rose, and used the data as a negative news. Friday is US retail data, and the market is estimated to be adjusted in the short term. Currently, the United States has raised interest rates by at least 75 basis points in November, which is a consensus expectation. The Federal Reserve may delay slowing down the pace of interest rate hikes from December. In the context of the general environment, interest rate hikes are suppressing the economy and consumption, we are still bearish about the general trend of the market and wait for nickel and stainless steel to fully release the rebound momentum in the short term.
spot consumption, 304, Foshan has basically completed the downstream phased stocking after 12th price correction. There are not many pick-up operations for the stable price in the day, and the spot resources of each place of origin are almost price-changed. Merchants' price adjustment mentality continues to slow down. Overall, this week's 304 cold rolling is mainly digested with the inventory of urgent needs; Wuxi spot inquiry and transactions have improved with the rise of futures .

copper
London copper fluctuated yesterday, and internal trading performed relatively strongly. On the macro side, the US unseasonally adjusted CPI annual rate in September was 8.2%, the smallest increase since February 2022; the US unseasonally adjusted core CPI annual rate in September was 6.6%, the highest since August 1982; data shows that inflation continues to maintain a strong momentum, so the market expects the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates by 75 basis points in November. Spot stocks are still very tight, and social inventory and bonded area inventory are very low. In recent days, the cancellation of warehouse receipts for lme Asian warehouses have increased, but it will take three weeks to ship and customs clearance, and it will flow into the country until November. In October, even if there are not many copper warehouses, the stock squeeze market is still continuing. As Hubei smelters have been postponed to put into production, and some smelters have overhauled in November, the market's expectations of squeezing positions have even continued until November. However, under the current price and price difference, the downstream losses are very serious and the delivery force is very weak. Some copper rod factories have begun to shut down the furnace of and are in a wait-and-see state. However, we learned that the orders of the cable factory are pretty good, and the downstream is just afraid of the high and refuses to accept the goods. If the copper price falls, the downstream will still accept the goods.
price, LME has been fluctuating recently, and the internal market is relatively strong. The market generally expects the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates by 75BP in November, which is a suppression of the foreign market, but it is still difficult to get out of the trend under the expectation of squeezing positions in the internal market.

Macro, the US core CPIht in September in September ml3 grew by 6.6% year-on-year, the highest level since 1982, exceeding market expectations. US dollar index soared, and US stock commodities and other products fell sharply when they heard the news. But then the stock market crude oil commodities and other Jedi counterattacks were mainly driven by three aspects. One is that the periodic negative news was over after the inflation data was released, and the other is the efforts of euro zone , especially the current traders bet on the situation in the UK. The pound and British bonds soared last night. It was reported that British officials were trying to reverse Prime Minister Trass' tax cut plan and suppress the trend of the US dollar index to a certain extent. The last factor is fundamental factors. More strong, low inventory is weak supply and the reverse structure of the market is large, supporting prices;
fundamentals, strong reality is weak, high premium leads to weak downstream demand, and the purchase of goods is not positive, spot stocks fall back to the premium of the month; on the supply side, on the one hand, only 13,000 tons of registered warehouse receipts remain. Although spot demand is weak, inventory remains low. On the other hand, according to SMM statistics in September and October, the production of refined zinc was 503,400 tons, but in November and December, the expected output will rise to around 540,000 to 550,000 tons, and the expected increase in output will play a certain role in the price. Suppression; in terms of trading strategies of
, zinc inventory is currently at a low level, and domestic refined zinc production is stimulated by maintaining the profits of imported ore and smelting profits. However, the current monthly structure is difficult to stimulate large-scale stockpiling. If the profits of zinc concentrate smelting profits cannot effectively stimulate domestic production, then the refined import window may remain open. Strong reality and weak expectations make the window open at the near-month end. The window period for domestic production is expected to be in November. The structure of large back and the current situation of low inventory makes it easy to rise and difficult to fall (the above views are for reference only and are not used as a basis for entry into the market)

Macro, the US core CPI in September increased by 6.6% year-on-year, the highest level since 1982 The swap contract shows that the US policy interest rate peaked at 4.85% in March 2023, exceeding market expectations, the US dollar index soared, and US stocks and other news fell sharply; but then the stock market crude oil commodities and other Jedi counterattacks were mainly driven by three aspects: one is that the periodic negative news was exhausted after the inflation data was released, and the other is the efforts of the euro zone, especially the current traders bet on the British bond market. The pound and British bonds soared last night. It was reported that British officials were trying to reverse Prime Minister Tras' tax cut plan to suppress the trend of the US dollar index to a certain extent; the last factor is that fundamental factors are relatively strong, especially copper and zinc are still pressing positions, and aluminum inventory is maintained Against the backdrop of high low-priced costs, not to mention that foreign markets are still trading to restrict Rusal’s related policies, which are relatively firm, and there is a chance if there is fluctuation; in terms of fundamentals of
, the resumption of production in in Sichuan is basically in line with expectations. It is expected that by December, the province will resume production to around 70%, and the Inner Mongolia Baiyinhua will be put into production to about 50,000 tons, with a slow progress, and it is expected to be around 140,000 tons by the end of the year; inventory has begun to be sold recently, but the atmosphere of spot transactions is sluggish, and the basis for delivery has further weakened. The absolute price rise and the monthly difference has expanded, and the trade link is not bought in the trade link, and the selling is more active. , but judging from the outbound data, the performance of the urgent needs is acceptable; in terms of trading strategies of
, the current view of fluctuations in the aluminum price range is currently maintained. The fourth quarter is a time window period when bulls can go long at lows, and it is backed by the social weighted average cost line of 17800 to 18200, and light positions are long; in terms of arbitrage, the main set continues to hold (the above views are for reference only and are not used as a basis for entry)

Data shows that inflation continues to maintain strong momentum, so the market expects the Fed to raise interest rates by 75 basis points in November. The number of initial unemployment claims in the United States recorded 228,000 in the week ending October 8, the highest since the week ending September 1, 2022. U.S. mortgage rates soared to a 20-year high, reaching 6.92%.
Currently, the probability of the Federal Reserve raising interest rates by 75 basis points in November rose to more than 90%, which will put pressure on precious metals. But considering the risk aversion and inflation, there is also support below, which can also be found by yesterday's market trend. Therefore, a cautious and bearish view remains.

In terms of supply and demand, the IEA's October report showed that global oil demand in 2022 is expected to be 99.6 million barrels per day, an increase of 1.9 million barrels per day from 2021. The annual consumption forecast was reduced by 100,000 barrels per day from the previous month's version, global consumption was reduced by 300,000 barrels per day in the fourth quarter, and China's consumption in the third and fourth quarters was reduced by 400,000 barrels per day from the previous month's expectations. According to the IEA's expectations, the global crude oil accumulation rate in the third quarter of 2022 reached 1 million barrels per day, and the accumulation rate in the fourth quarter dropped to 500,000 barrels per day. Subsequently, the accumulation rate continued to slow down and will return to the destocking state after the second quarter of 20222. EIE weekly data shows that as of the week ending October 7, U.S. crude oil production fell by 100,000 barrels per day to 11.9 million barrels per day, with commercial inventory cumulatively cumulatively 9.88 million barrels and strategic inventory destocking 7.69 million barrels. Gasoline consumption fell by 1.19 million barrels per day month-on-month, falling below the five-year range, and distillate oil consumption increased by 260,000 barrels per day month-on-month, showing a relatively strong performance.
Macro, the US CPI rose 0.4% month-on-month and 8.2% year-on-year, exceeding expectations because rents hit the biggest increase since 1990 and food costs also rose, which strengthened expectations that the Fed will raise interest rates for the fourth consecutive month by 75 basis points. Core CPI jumped 6.6% year-on-year in September, the largest increase since August 1982. The ECB Management Committee believes that it should raise interest rates strongly at its next meeting (October 27).
[Trading Strategy]
Recently, there are expectations of a downward reduction in supply and demand in the fourth quarter and next year. Although it is relatively pessimistic about demand, in the state of downward adjustment of the supply and demand side, the accumulation of inventory in the future will continue to weaken, the neutrality of crude oil supply and demand side is relatively strong, the macro level is still under pressure, and the judgment that oil prices maintain high fluctuations, Brent's main operating range refers to US$90-105/barrel.

[Important Information]
Longzhong Information reported that according to shipping tracking data, fuel oil arbitrage from the West to Asia in October hit the level of nearly 2.5 million tons, the same as in September, but still higher than the usual average monthly arrival volume of 2 million tons. However, seasonal demand in North Asia has rebounded, so the impact on the ultra-low sulfur fuel oil market is limited. More Russian fuel oil is expected to flow into the Asian market, and the recovery of the high-sulfur fuel oil market is still hindered.
[Trading Strategy]
Singapore's high sulfur continued to weaken in October, and the cracking spread has fallen to a historical low recently. In the short term, under the expectation of floating positions at high levels and supply and demand still weakened, high sulfur cracking rebounded. The valuation of fuel oil in the internal market is neutral, and the performance is weak among oil products, and the price difference between high and low sulfur is strong and fluctuates.

quoted China Paper Media: Japan is the world's second largest wood chip importer after China, accounting for about one-third of the world's total imports. In all industries in Japan, the paper industry relies heavily on wood, so Japanese pulp mills have long relied on imported wood fibers. Japan's imported timber reached its historical high in 2008, with nearly 15 million tons. After a long time, the average annual total transaction volume of imported timber remained at around 12 million tons. In 2020, due to the impact of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, Japan's wood imports fell sharply. However, according to the Wood Resources Quarterly (WRQ) report, Japan's timber imports increased in 2021 and the first six months of 2022, and the total import volume in 2022 is expected to reach its highest level in three years, with Japanese pulp mills undoubtedly one of the main forces in timber imports.

quoted LMC Automotive comment: In the past two and a half years, the global light vehicle market has experienced one major setback after another, and it is still difficult to obtain any real growth momentum today. Although global light vehicle sales have recovered in seasonally adjusted annualized sales in recent months, this is mainly due to the rapid increase in sales of in the Chinese market, which is achieved under the implementation of the temporary reduction and exemption policy of for passenger car purchase tax. Supply bottlenecks are still the main reason for the recovery of sales in most light vehicle markets around the world. However, as European and North American markets approach winter, the economic outlooks in the two places are becoming increasingly bleak under the difficult-to-solve high inflation problem, and potential new car demand will inevitably be weakened.

In terms of supply and demand, most of the existing maintenance devices have resumed production, and the PE maintenance ratio has dropped to a low level, but the production of new devices has been delayed. No new devices are expected to be put into production in October, and new devices in Guangdong Petrochemical and Hainan Refining and Chemical are expected to be put into production from November to December. Net imports have gradually rebounded, but the pressure in October is relatively small. In terms of demand, demand recovered significantly in September, and the peak season in October continued. The spread of the domestic epidemic is a negative news and short-term price pressure is under pressure. In the future, with the introduction of new production capacity and the concentration of imports to Hong Kong and foreign markets, supply and demand are expected to deteriorate significantly, and short sells at highs. Pay attention to oil prices and the impact of the epidemic. (The views are for reference only and are not used as a basis for trading).

cost, currently, the price of pit in Inner Mongolia is around 1150 yuan/ton, and the price of coal in Shaanxi is around 1235 yuan/ton, due to the northwest land The spot price of methanol in the district fell sharply due to weak demand. The loss of coal-to-methanol in Inner Mongolia expanded to more than 50 yuan/ton, and the loss of coal-to-methanol in northern Shaanxi was above 190 yuan/ton. The overall loss narrowed briefly and continued to expand. The operating rate was further suppressed. Market news said that Xin Lianxin had stopped due to cost problems. China New Zealand will stop after using up coal from raw materials. There are also multiple sets of devices expected to be stopped in the short term. Many coke oven gas devices in Linfen have also faced the risk of negative parking reduction due to environmental protection epidemics and other reasons. Loss-related suspensions have occurred again. According to Jiutai official website, the 2 million tons unit is successfully put into production at one time, and the load will be gradually increased in the later stage, and the overall supply will be stable. In terms of demand for
, traditional demand was greatly compressed by the rise in methanol, and the operating rate fell narrowly; MTO profit was also greatly compressed by the rise in methanol prices, and the losses expanded to more than 800 yuan/ton, Zhongyuan ethylene was stopped, and there were rumors of multiple domestic devices falling into the burden, etc., and overall demand continued to weaken. In terms of inventory, as the epidemic affects transportation, the inventory of mainland enterprises has accumulated significantly, while orders have dropped sharply; expectations of import reduction in port areas have gradually turned into reality, and the port-to-mainland price difference has not been opened for a long time. At the same time, downstream terminals are in urgent need, and inventory continues to be sold. The current overall inventory has been reduced to the lowest level in the same period of previous years, and the overall circulating resources of the port are tight.
Overall, as market sentiment continues to cool down, downstream MTO production suspension and negative area expands. In addition, opened after the holiday, and continued to fall after , suppressing market sentiment. Ports, Northwest and Shandong resonated and fell. This week, the bidding prices of mainstream manufacturers in the northwest region continued to drop, but the phenomenon of failing to sell is still serious. Downstream bidding in northern Shandong continued to lower prices, and the port basis weakened significantly, and methanol spot basically fell to the pre-holiday level. However, due to the high and strong prices of raw coal, multiple devices have been stopped due to problems such as cost, environmental protection, and epidemic. methanol continues to be weak in both supply and demand, and will still be treated with a volatile idea in the short term.

urea
[Trading Strategy]
The overall national urea market continues the weak pattern of supply and demand. In terms of supply, after a rapid rise in raw coal, it has cooled down recently. Some coal types have begun to drop slightly, but they are still at high levels and have strong cost support. Smoke-free medium-block coal (CV6800 S0.5) in Jincheng area is 1970-2020 yuan/ton, and smoke-free bottom coal (CV5800 S0.5) is 1585-1635 yuan/ton. The current fixed bed production is basically near the break-even line. Some devices in Henan are temporarily suspended and maintenance are concentrated. There are many parking spaces in Shanxi due to environmental protection, which provides support for the manufacturer's mentality. The epidemic situation in Shanxi, Inner Mongolia and Xinjiang has further spread, transportation has been severely hindered, and foreign transportation volume has dropped sharply, with overall daily output falling to around 144,000 tons, a decrease of 7,400 tons from the same period last year, and the overall supply is tight. In terms of demand, the Northeast region has begun to prepare stocks one after another, but the procurement rhythm is relatively stable. The autumn fertilizers in Henan and Shandong are approaching the end, and the procurement is weak. Anhui and Jiangsu have demand for top fertilizers. Southern industrial enterprises have started one after another. The operating rate of the city's compound fertilizer plants has increased slightly, but the overall demand side has not changed much.
At present, urea continues to be weak in both supply and demand. The domestic epidemic is repeated and important meetings are about to be held. Environmental protection, safety supervision and other factors have a great impact. In the short term, it will still be treated with a narrow range and strong fluctuation. Pay attention to the Northwest epidemic and conferences. (The above views are for reference only and are not used as a basis for entering the market).

thermal coal
[Trading Strategy]
Supply side, the epidemic in Inner Mongolia and Shanxi has continued to spread recently, but the production of coal mines in the region is basically normal, and the price of pits is relatively stable. Currently, the price of pits in Inner Mongolia is around 1,150 yuan/ton, and the price of pits in Shanxi is around 1,300 yuan. Tons; the overall production and sales in Shaanxi are balanced, and some low-priced coal mines are following the rise, and the overall coal price is around 1,245 yuan/ton. This week, it is expected that the price of coal in the pits in the pits is mainly firm.
Demand side, power coal side, daily consumption of coastal power plants continues to decline. Judging from the number of ships and forecast ships in port anchorages, it is expected that the market coal procurement will weaken this week, but due to limited resources, the price will resist declines; on the non-electric side, the profit of chemical products has been greatly compressed with the sharp rise in coal prices. Inner Mongolia methanol has been put into production normally. Although the start of urea has declined, the procurement support is strong, and pit-mouthed coal and block coal are expected to operate smoothly. In terms of inventory, the Daqin Line has begun autumn maintenance, with the transportation volume from 1.3 million tons/day to 1 million tons/day, the port transfer has dropped to around 1.2 million tons, and the inventory has dropped to 20.35 million tons, but it is still at the same high level. However, in a breeze winter is approaching, and the market coal is still tight. It is expected that the port price will continue to be firm in operation. The current 5500K closing price is 1,565 yuan/ton. Power plant inventory, as daily consumption declines, power plant inventory continues to rebound, and the number of days available continues to increase. Under the long-term cooperation guaranteed supply, inventory is expected to continue to rise.
Overall, with the arrival of the off-season of electric coal demand, it is expected that the port supply pressure may be reduced. However, in the autumn maintenance of Daqin, the daily transportation volume decreased by 200,000-250,000 tons. Against the backdrop of the continuous decline in inventory, the market coal prices are mainly running firmly. Although the supply in Kengkou area is normal, it is mostly mainly focused on ensuring supply. At the same time, the epidemic in Inner Mongolia and Shanxi continues to spread, the market coal volume is tight, and the high price of chemical raw materials coal is difficult to find, which supports the firm rise in Kengkou price.An important conference is approaching, focusing on coal price policy regulation (the above views are for reference only and are not used as a basis for entry into the market).

[Trading Strategy]
Currently, both PVC upstream inventory and social inventory are at the same level in history, and they are still facing significant high inventory problems. On the supply side, the PVC operating rate is currently at the intermediate level. The profits of chlor-alkali integration have been recovered in the near future. The probability of the upstream continuing to actively reduce production is not high. On the demand side, both PVC exports and PVC products exports have dropped significantly in August, and external demand is still not optimistic. In terms of domestic demand, real estate completion and sales margins have improved, but the expected height is limited, and weak PVC demand is difficult to change. At present, PVC is absolutely low, and Lancharcoal and calcium carbide are in losses and their valuations are not high.

In terms of supply and demand, most of the existing maintenance devices have resumed production, and the PP maintenance ratio has dropped to a low level, but the production of new devices has been delayed. No new devices are expected to be put into production in October, and new devices in Guangdong Petrochemical and Hainan Refining and Chemical are expected to be put into production from November to December. Net imports have gradually rebounded, but the pressure in October is relatively small. In terms of demand, demand recovered significantly in September, and the peak season in October continued. The spread of the domestic epidemic is a negative news and short-term price pressure is under pressure. In the future, with the arrival of a new round of selling pressure on new production capacity and the concentration of imports to Hong Kong and foreign markets, supply and demand are expected to deteriorate significantly and short selling will occur at highs. Pay attention to oil prices and the impact of the epidemic. (The views are for reference only and are not used as a basis for trading).

[Trading Strategy]
Styrene non-integrated device profits have been lost again, Taixing styrene device has reduced its losses, and some devices have the intention to reduce production. In the fourth quarter, Lianyungang Petrochemical, Guangdong Petrochemical, Zibo Junchen, and Satellite Petrochemical had a total of 2.5 million tons of styrene new equipment, and the styrene supply pressure dropped. In terms of demand, although some downstream home appliances and other products are still in the traditional peak demand season after the holiday, due to the early overdraft of replenishment demand, the downstream replenishment rhythm is expected to slow down, and domestic demand in the terminal home appliance market is sluggish and exports are declining, and the weakness of real estate is difficult to change. The production of styrene equipment is greater than the downstream production force, and the supply and demand structure may turn into looseness, and the medium-term price still has downward pressure.

data, the US unseasonally adjusted CPI annual rate in September recorded 8.2%, the smallest increase since February 2022; the US unseasonally adjusted core CPI annual rate in September recorded 6.6%, the highest since August 1982; the US after the seasonally adjusted CPI monthly rate in September recorded 0.4%, which was once again higher than general expectations. Data shows that inflation continues to maintain strong momentum, so the market expects the Fed to raise interest rates by 75 basis points in November. The number of initial unemployment claims in the United States recorded 228,000 in the week ending October 8, the highest since the week ending September 1, 2022. U.S. mortgage rates soared to a 20-year high, reaching 6.92%.
Currently, the probability of the Federal Reserve raising interest rates by 75 basis points in November rose to more than 90%, which will put pressure on precious metals. But considering the risk aversion and inflation, there is also support below, which can also be found by yesterday's market trend. Therefore, a cautious and bearish view remains.

In terms of supply and demand, the IEA's October report showed that global oil demand in 2022 is expected to be 99.6 million barrels per day, an increase of 1.9 million barrels per day from 2021. The annual consumption forecast was reduced by 100,000 barrels per day from the previous month's version, global consumption was reduced by 300,000 barrels per day in the fourth quarter, and China's consumption in the third and fourth quarters was reduced by 400,000 barrels per day from the previous month's expectations. According to the IEA's expectations, the global crude oil accumulation rate in the third quarter of 2022 reached 1 million barrels per day, and the accumulation rate in the fourth quarter dropped to 500,000 barrels per day. Subsequently, the accumulation rate continued to slow down and will return to the destocking state after the second quarter of 20222. EIE weekly data shows that as of the week ending October 7, U.S. crude oil production fell by 100,000 barrels per day to 11.9 million barrels per day, with commercial inventory cumulatively cumulatively 9.88 million barrels and strategic inventory destocking 7.69 million barrels. Gasoline consumption fell by 1.19 million barrels per day month-on-month, falling below the five-year range, and distillate oil consumption increased by 260,000 barrels per day month-on-month, showing a relatively strong performance.
Macro, the US CPI rose 0.4% month-on-month and 8.2% year-on-year, exceeding expectations because rents hit the biggest increase since 1990 and food costs also rose, which strengthened expectations that the Fed will raise interest rates for the fourth consecutive month by 75 basis points. Core CPI jumped 6.6% year-on-year in September, the largest increase since August 1982. The ECB Management Committee believes that it should raise interest rates strongly at its next meeting (October 27).
[Trading Strategy]
Recently, there are expectations of a downward reduction in supply and demand in the fourth quarter and next year. Although it is relatively pessimistic about demand, in the state of downward adjustment of the supply and demand side, the accumulation of inventory in the future will continue to weaken, the neutrality of crude oil supply and demand side is relatively strong, the macro level is still under pressure, and the judgment that oil prices maintain high fluctuations, Brent's main operating range refers to US$90-105/barrel.

[Important Information]
Longzhong Information reported that according to shipping tracking data, fuel oil arbitrage from the West to Asia in October hit the level of nearly 2.5 million tons, the same as in September, but still higher than the usual average monthly arrival volume of 2 million tons. However, seasonal demand in North Asia has rebounded, so the impact on the ultra-low sulfur fuel oil market is limited. More Russian fuel oil is expected to flow into the Asian market, and the recovery of the high-sulfur fuel oil market is still hindered.
[Trading Strategy]
Singapore's high sulfur continued to weaken in October, and the cracking spread has fallen to a historical low recently. In the short term, under the expectation of floating positions at high levels and supply and demand still weakened, high sulfur cracking rebounded. The valuation of fuel oil in the internal market is neutral, and the performance is weak among oil products, and the price difference between high and low sulfur is strong and fluctuates.

quoted China Paper Media: Japan is the world's second largest wood chip importer after China, accounting for about one-third of the world's total imports. In all industries in Japan, the paper industry relies heavily on wood, so Japanese pulp mills have long relied on imported wood fibers. Japan's imported timber reached its historical high in 2008, with nearly 15 million tons. After a long time, the average annual total transaction volume of imported timber remained at around 12 million tons. In 2020, due to the impact of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, Japan's wood imports fell sharply. However, according to the Wood Resources Quarterly (WRQ) report, Japan's timber imports increased in 2021 and the first six months of 2022, and the total import volume in 2022 is expected to reach its highest level in three years, with Japanese pulp mills undoubtedly one of the main forces in timber imports.

quoted LMC Automotive comment: In the past two and a half years, the global light vehicle market has experienced one major setback after another, and it is still difficult to obtain any real growth momentum today. Although global light vehicle sales have recovered in seasonally adjusted annualized sales in recent months, this is mainly due to the rapid increase in sales of in the Chinese market, which is achieved under the implementation of the temporary reduction and exemption policy of for passenger car purchase tax. Supply bottlenecks are still the main reason for the recovery of sales in most light vehicle markets around the world. However, as European and North American markets approach winter, the economic outlooks in the two places are becoming increasingly bleak under the difficult-to-solve high inflation problem, and potential new car demand will inevitably be weakened.

methanol
[Trading Strategy]
cost, currently, the price of pit in Inner Mongolia is around 1150 yuan/ton, and the price of coal in Shaanxi is around 1235 yuan/ton, due to the northwest land The spot price of methanol in the district fell sharply due to weak demand. The loss of coal-to-methanol in Inner Mongolia expanded to more than 50 yuan/ton, and the loss of coal-to-methanol in northern Shaanxi was above 190 yuan/ton. The overall loss narrowed briefly and continued to expand. The operating rate was further suppressed. Market news said that Xin Lianxin had stopped due to cost problems. China New Zealand will stop after using up coal from raw materials. There are also multiple sets of devices expected to be stopped in the short term. Many coke oven gas devices in Linfen have also faced the risk of negative parking reduction due to environmental protection epidemics and other reasons. Loss-related suspensions have occurred again. According to Jiutai official website, the 2 million tons unit is successfully put into production at one time, and the load will be gradually increased in the later stage, and the overall supply will be stable. In terms of demand for
, traditional demand was greatly compressed by the rise in methanol, and the operating rate fell narrowly; MTO profit was also greatly compressed by the rise in methanol prices, and the losses expanded to more than 800 yuan/ton, Zhongyuan ethylene was stopped, and there were rumors of multiple domestic devices falling into the burden, etc., and overall demand continued to weaken. In terms of inventory, as the epidemic affects transportation, the inventory of mainland enterprises has accumulated significantly, while orders have dropped sharply; expectations of import reduction in port areas have gradually turned into reality, and the port-to-mainland price difference has not been opened for a long time. At the same time, downstream terminals are in urgent need, and inventory continues to be sold. The current overall inventory has been reduced to the lowest level in the same period of previous years, and the overall circulating resources of the port are tight.

This week, the bidding prices of mainstream manufacturers in the northwest region continued to drop, but the phenomenon of failing to sell is still serious. Downstream bidding in northern Shandong continued to lower prices, and the port basis weakened significantly, and methanol spot basically fell to the pre-holiday level. However, due to the high and strong prices of raw coal, multiple devices have been stopped due to problems such as cost, environmental protection, and epidemic. methanol continues to be weak in both supply and demand, and will still be treated with a volatile idea in the short term.

This week, it is expected that the price of coal in the pits in the pits is mainly firm.
Demand side, power coal side, daily consumption of coastal power plants continues to decline. Judging from the number of ships and forecast ships in port anchorages, it is expected that the market coal procurement will weaken this week, but due to limited resources, the price will resist declines; on the non-electric side, the profit of chemical products has been greatly compressed with the sharp rise in coal prices. Inner Mongolia methanol has been put into production normally. Although the start of urea has declined, the procurement support is strong, and pit-mouthed coal and block coal are expected to operate smoothly. In terms of inventory, the Daqin Line has begun autumn maintenance, with the transportation volume from 1.3 million tons/day to 1 million tons/day, the port transfer has dropped to around 1.2 million tons, and the inventory has dropped to 20.35 million tons, but it is still at the same high level.

Power plant inventory, as daily consumption declines, power plant inventory continues to rebound, and the number of days available continues to increase. Under the long-term cooperation guaranteed supply, inventory is expected to continue to rise.
Overall, with the arrival of the off-season of electric coal demand, it is expected that the port supply pressure may be reduced. However, in the autumn maintenance of Daqin, the daily transportation volume decreased by 200,000-250,000 tons. Against the backdrop of the continuous decline in inventory, the market coal prices are mainly running firmly. Although the supply in Kengkou area is normal, it is mostly mainly focused on ensuring supply. At the same time, the epidemic in Inner Mongolia and Shanxi continues to spread, the market coal volume is tight, and the high price of chemical raw materials coal is difficult to find, which supports the firm rise in Kengkou price.An important conference is approaching, focusing on coal price policy regulation (the above views are for reference only and are not used as a basis for entry into the market).

[Trading Strategy]
Currently, both PVC upstream inventory and social inventory are at the same level in history, and they are still facing significant high inventory problems. On the supply side, the PVC operating rate is currently at the intermediate level. The profits of chlor-alkali integration have been recovered in the near future. The probability of the upstream continuing to actively reduce production is not high. On the demand side, both PVC exports and PVC products exports have dropped significantly in August, and external demand is still not optimistic. In terms of domestic demand, real estate completion and sales margins have improved, but the expected height is limited, and weak PVC demand is difficult to change. At present, PVC is absolutely low, and Lancharcoal and calcium carbide are in losses and their valuations are not high. Affected by the epidemic, calcium carbide is tight, prices are rising, cost-side support is strengthening, and short-term prices are expected to fluctuate.

11-December Shenghong Refining and William Petrochemical have a total of 3 million tons of PX new production capacity, but under the expectation of the 5 million tons of new equipment in the second phase of PTA Tongkun Jiatong and Weilian Chemical, the pressure on PX accumulation storage is not great.At present, the spot processing fee of PTA has been compressed to a low level around 250 yuan/ton. In terms of demand, some factories of polyester filament have additional production cuts, the initial production reduction devices of staple fiber have recovered, the overall load of bottles has increased, the total load of polyester has increased slightly on the week-on-month, and the orders for terminal winter fabrics have improved month-on-month. Polyester profits have improved recently, terminal benefits have been compressed, and the production plan for some new polyester production capacity has been postponed. TA remains tightly balanced in October, and TA's supply and demand are expected to move towards a loose situation from November to December. In the short term, TA price support is strong under the influence of destocking expectations and low processing costs, but in the absence of substantial demand improvement, the pressure above the TA price is relatively high, and the price trend may remain fluctuating.

In terms of supply and demand, most of the existing maintenance devices have resumed production, and the PP maintenance ratio has dropped to a low level, but the production of new devices has been delayed. No new devices are expected to be put into production in October, and new devices in Guangdong Petrochemical and Hainan Refining and Chemical are expected to be put into production from November to December. Net imports have gradually rebounded, but the pressure in October is relatively small. In terms of demand, demand recovered significantly in September, and the peak season in October continued. The spread of the domestic epidemic is a negative news and short-term price pressure is under pressure. In the future, with the arrival of a new round of selling pressure on new production capacity and the concentration of imports to Hong Kong and foreign markets, supply and demand are expected to deteriorate significantly and short selling will occur at highs. Pay attention to oil prices and the impact of the epidemic. (The views are for reference only and are not used as a basis for trading).

[Trading Strategy]
Styrene non-integrated device profits have been lost again, Taixing styrene device has reduced its losses, and some devices have the intention to reduce production. In the fourth quarter, Lianyungang Petrochemical, Guangdong Petrochemical, Zibo Junchen, and Satellite Petrochemical had a total of 2.5 million tons of styrene new equipment, and the styrene supply pressure dropped. In terms of demand, although some downstream home appliances and other products are still in the traditional peak demand season after the holiday, due to the early overdraft of replenishment demand, the downstream replenishment rhythm is expected to slow down, and domestic demand in the terminal home appliance market is sluggish and exports are declining, and the weakness of real estate is difficult to change. The production of styrene equipment is greater than the downstream production force, and the supply and demand structure may turn into looseness, and the medium-term price still has downward pressure.
