Investment Rating - The report maintains a "Buy" rating for the chemical industry, with a focus on undervalued high-growth stocks [2]. Core Insights - The organic silicon market is experiencing a price rebound due to supply-demand improvements, with a strong price increase observed in various products [2]. - The U.S. has initiated anti-dumping investigations on MDI imports from China, which may affect global trade flows rather than domestic competitiveness [2]. - The chemical sector is expected to benefit from a recovery in domestic demand and cost reductions, particularly in the tire industry and fluorochemical products [2]. Summary by Sections Chemical Industry Overview - Current macroeconomic conditions indicate stable oil prices due to reduced Iranian exports and balanced supply-demand in Q1 2025 [3]. - Coal prices are expected to decline in the medium to long term, alleviating pressure on downstream sectors [3]. - Natural gas prices are fluctuating at the bottom [3]. Organic Silicon Market - The domestic expansion cycle for organic silicon has concluded, leading to improved supply-demand dynamics and price increases [2]. - Export volume for organic silicon is projected to reach approximately 546,000 tons in 2024, a year-on-year increase of about 34% [2]. - As of February 16, 2025, DMC prices averaged 13,500 CNY/ton, with significant price increases across various products [2].
