    **Current Oil Price**: Brent crude ~81 USD/barrel (June 17), WTI ~80 USD/barrel
    **Impact Mechanism**:
    1. **Cost transmission**: PTFE and other fluorochemical products start from fluorite, affected by energy costs; oil price drop from 120 USD peak relieves cost pressure
    2. **Downstream demand**: Oil price decline reduces logistics and manufacturing costs, but limited pull on new material demand
    3. **Forecast**: EIA predicts 2026 Brent average price at 59 USD/barrel, WTI at 51-65 USD/barrel; oil price center moving down, weakening cost support for chemicals

    ### Supply Tightness Factors
    1. **PTFE**: Low inventory, tight supply of high-end products (driven by AI server demand)
    2. **Carbon fiber**: Severe oversupply, low capacity utilization
    3. **PEEK**: Oligopoly, limited capacity expansion

    ### Demand Growth Factors
    1. **AI computing power explosion**: PTFE CCL, PEEK (lightweight high-performance parts) demand growth
    2. **New energy**: Carbon fiber applications in wind power, hydrogen storage weak, demand below expectation
    3. **Electronics**: PI film demand stable in flexible circuits, chip packaging

    ## Impact on Procurement Costs

    | Material | Procurement Cost Impact | Recommendation |

    | PTFE Resin | Cost up 1-2% | Can lock in Q3 usage |
    | PEEK Resin | Cost stable at high | Purchase as needed, no hoarding |
    | Carbon Fiber | Cost down 30-40% | Excellent procurement window, can increase inventory |
    | PI Film | Cost stable | Normal procurement |
    | Special Ceramics | Cost stable | Normal procurement |

    ## Impact on Supply Chain

    1. **PTFE Industry Chain**:
    – Upstream fluorite → hydrofluoric acid → PTFE resin → PTFE CCL → AI servers
    – High-end capacity concentrated in leaders (Haohua Technology, Dongyue Group, Shengyi Technology, Zhongying Technology benefit)
    – Traditional fiberglass cloth supply chain faces substitution pressure

    2. **Carbon Fiber Industry Chain**:
    – Overcapacity leads to price war, profitability pressure on small/medium manufacturers
