The tightening of supply and demand pattern, combined with the influence of geopolitical factors, has improved the outlook of crude oil and natural gas. The repair of the crude oil supply gap was slow, the situation in Russia and Ukraine tightened again, and the international oil price rose sharply. OPEC production increase data in January is far lower than the target value of production increase; Affected by the cold wave, the growth of crude oil production in the United States is limited; The tightening situation in Russia and Ukraine has exacerbated the market's concerns about short-term crude oil supply. IEA released its monthly report in February. It is estimated that the global oil demand will increase by 3.2 million barrels / day to 100.6 million barrels / day in 2022. The impact of the epidemic on the economy and crude oil demand is still relatively limited, and the global crude oil demand is expected to recover further. In the medium and long term, under the background of "carbon neutrality", the upstream capital expenditure is insufficient and the growth of crude oil supply is weak, which is expected to form a strong support for oil prices. The goal of carbon neutralization accelerates the transformation of energy structure and helps the growth of natural gas demand. The short-term natural gas supply side is affected by the risk of further intensification of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the climate. There is uncertainty, and the natural gas landscape is expected to continue.
After the festival, the prosperity of the chemical industry is still improving, and pay attention to the follow-up trend of each segment. As of February 11, China's chemical product price index (CCPI) was 5529 points, up about 2.4% compared with before the Spring Festival (January 28) and about 7.3% compared with the end of 2021. From this point of view, the chemical industry is still in the boom period. With the end of the Spring Festival holiday, raw materials and downstream production enterprises began to return to work in an orderly manner, and China's cargo transportation began to return to normal. We compared the resumption of work and production in the chemical industry before and after the Spring Festival with key industries such as chemical fiber, coal chemical industry, chemical fertilizer and new energy materials, as well as key varieties such as soda ash, pesticide, silicone, titanium dioxide and MDI, and made an appropriate outlook for the future. We are optimistic about the continuous improvement of prosperity brought by the improvement of downstream demand in the chemical fiber and chemical fertilizer industries. At the same time, we are also optimistic about the future development of enterprises with capacity scale advantages and first mover and cost advantages under the strong demand for new energy. In addition, we also suggest paying attention to the subsequent changes in the supply and demand pattern of representative bulk products such as soda ash, pesticides, silicone, titanium dioxide and MDI.
