LLDPE：短期不追空，后期仍有压力

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The trend strength of LLDPE is 0, indicating a neutral stance [3][4]. 2. Core View of the Report - Short - term: Do not chase short positions due to the short - term rebound of crude oil at the cost end and the decent low - price trading volume of polyethylene [2]. - Long - term: There is still pressure on LLDPE as the supply pressure is large with new PE plant capacities in 2025 and the demand is weak [2]. 3. Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Fundamental Tracking - Futures Data: The closing price of L2509 was 7049, with a daily increase of 1.09%. The trading volume was 344,165, and the open interest decreased by 10,950 [1]. - Basis and Spread: The basis of the 09 contract was - 49 (previous day: 37), and the 09 - 01 contract spread was 31 (previous day: 27) [1]. - Spot Prices: In North China, the price was 7000 yuan/ton; in East China, it was 7100 yuan/ton; in South China, it was 7230 yuan/ton, remaining unchanged from the previous day [1]. 3.2 Spot News - LLDPE market prices fluctuated between 10 - 50 yuan/ton. The linear futures opened higher and fluctuated upwards, boosting the market trading atmosphere. Some ex - factory prices of PetroChina in the Northwest and Northeast were adjusted, while most others remained stable. Traders tentatively raised prices, and end - users made purchases at low prices [1]. 3.3 Market Condition Analysis - Macro - aspect: The trade war has increased global trade uncertainty, but the short - term rebound of crude oil at the cost end and the decent low - price trading volume of polyethylene suggest not to chase short positions [2]. - Supply - demand: In the 09 contract of 2025, the expected new PE plant capacity in China is 2.05 million tons, resulting in large supply pressure. Although there are many maintenance plans in June, it is not enough to change the high - production pattern. The demand for agricultural films is in the off - season, with the overall operating rate decreasing by 1.07% compared to the previous period, and the demand will continue to decline. The demand for packaging films is average, with the operating rate decreasing by 0.59%. Downstream factories have phased low - price restocking, but the continuous restocking strength is insufficient [2]. - Capacity Switch: Attention should be paid to the price difference between low - density and linear polyethylene. As the HDPE inventory continues to decline and the price difference widens, there may be a capacity switch between the two. Some plants have already started to switch production, and if full - density plants continue to switch to HDPE, the supply pressure of LLDPE may be alleviated [2].
