Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating There is no information about the industry investment rating in the provided content. 2. Core View of the Report Geopolitical disturbances have driven up the prices of upstream crude oil and methanol, providing cost support for the upward oscillation of LLDPE and PP futures. The LLDPE and PP futures markets showed an upward trend, with the LLDPE 2509 contract closing at 7,338 yuan/ton, up 127 yuan/ton (1.76%), and the PP main contract closing at 7,133 yuan/ton, up 81 yuan/ton (1.15%). The PP futures' upward movement boosted the spot market, with some upstream petrochemical manufacturers raising their factory prices, strengthening the cost support for the supply. However, the supply-demand pattern has changed little, with reduced maintenance efforts and new capacity coming on stream, increasing supply pressure. The downstream agricultural film industry's operating rate has dropped to a relatively low level this year, and the packaging industry has low willingness to stockpile raw materials and finished products in the short term. The operating rate of the plastic weaving industry is significantly lower than the same period in previous years. The continuous fermentation of the geopolitical situation in the Middle East supports oil prices, and the shutdown of Iranian methanol plants has pushed up the price of MA. Polyolefins are in a stage of strong cost and weak supply-demand game, and are expected to operate warmly in the short term driven by cost support [4]. 3.
