    Chemical sector configuration. According to wind data, oil prices fell this week, coal prices fluctuated, and overseas natural gas prices bottomed out. MDI Dow North America's 440000 ton unit is force majeure.

Some manufacturers of fine chemical vitamins stopped reporting, B, K and large varieties of VA and VE all warmed up at the bottom, light stabilizers and maltol manufacturers raised prices, Faberger Germany applied for bankruptcy, and the pigment market had a strong willingness to support prices. In summer, when fertilizer preparation is overlapped with overhaul peak season, the bottom of the fertilizer boom is warming up, the prices of urea and monoammonium phosphate continue to rise, and the supply side of potash fertilizer port has a strong willingness to support prices. On the whole, raw materials still remain at a medium high level, which is expected to support the slow recovery of PPI data from negative value to zero axis in December 23 of chemical industry. In the early stage of superposition, the downstream is basically in the state of active destocking, and the inventory continues to be squeezed. As the terminal starts to recover gradually, the price difference of basic chemicals is expected to repair and expand. We still cherish the opportunities at the bottom of Baima and the subdivided enterprises, and pay more attention to the subdivided enterprises Jinhe Industry Yuxin Shares, Xinhecheng, Zhenhua Shares, Garden Biology, Lianlong, Lily, etc.
