On the news front, a new round of "price hikes" in the chemical industry officially kicked off on April 1, 2026. From upstream petrochemical raw materials to downstream paint products, from international giants to leading domestic companies, the prices of core raw materials such as TDI, MDI, and TGIC have surged, with well-known companies like AkzoNobel, Nippon Paint, and Beixin Building Materials adjusting their prices. Guosen Securities believes that against the backdrop of geopolitical conflicts pushing up international oil prices, Brent crude oil prices have surpassed $100 per barrel. The core products along the coal-to-chemical route, such as methanol, urea, adipic acid, and dimethyl carbonate, have seen price increases, significantly improving profit margins. Coupled with strengthened support from supply-side disturbances in the Middle East, it is expected that the profit elasticity of chemical companies will be further released in the first quarter of 2026.
