View of Basic Chemical Industry Week: geopolitical risk events in the Middle East broke out. The price of international crude oil futures rose this week and hit a seven-year high earlier this week. The central economic work conference at the end of 2021 made it clear that the new renewable energy and raw material energy consumption will not be included in the total energy consumption control, and conditions will be created to realize the transformation from "dual control" of energy consumption to "dual control" of total carbon emission and intensity as soon as possible. In this regard, the enterprises that were expected to expand under the restriction of energy consumption indicators are good. We can pay attention to the industry leading enterprises Wanhua Chemical Group Co.Ltd(600309) , Shandong Hualu-Hengsheng Chemical Co.Ltd(600426) and Rongsheng Petro Chemical Co.Ltd(002493) . In addition, the downstream industries of pesticides, tires, modified plastics and sweeteners can continue to pay attention. Key target concerns:
