沙特CP超预期下调，进口成本施压LPG期价

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided on the industry investment rating. 2. Core View of the Report - LPG is in a low - valuation operation period under a weak fundamental situation. Due to the盘面's downward pricing of import costs, the basis has widened passively, and the risk of chasing short positions is high. It is recommended to wait for a rebound and then short - allocate [6]. 3. Summary According to Related Contents Fundamental Situation - On October 9, 2025, after the holiday, the LPG futures opened significantly lower and continued to be under pressure during the session. The main contract fell by 5.61% at the morning close [6]. - On September 30, Saudi Aramco announced the October CP. Propane was at $49/ton, a decrease of $25/ton from the previous month, and butane was at $475/ton, a decrease of $15/ton from the previous month. During the holiday, the November CP swap contract continued to decline, with the propane contract dropping from $520/ton on September 30 to $476/ton on October 8 [6]. - The domestic refinery operating rate remains relatively high, and the external supply of LPG is relatively abundant. However, the domestic civil gas spot was relatively stable during the holiday, so domestic factors were not the main cause of the futures price decline [6]. - On the supply side, the production of domestic refineries and value - added enterprises is in a seasonal improvement period, and the overseas associated gas production cycle continues. Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Azerbaijan are in the OPEC+ production - increasing countries, and the LPG shipments of these three countries are strongly correlated with crude oil shipments, providing room for the环比 increase in associated gas supply [6]. - On the demand side, the consumption of civil gas is shrinking year by year, there are no short - term bright spots in chemical demand, and the seasonal demand for blending oil is weakening, facing the pressure of a peak season without a boom [6]. - After the overseas market closed this round, the ratio of Far - East LPG to naphtha has returned to the annual high and is still at the optimal level in the same period in recent years, which is expected to drive chemical demand to some extent in the later stage, but the supply - side bearishness is difficult to reverse [6].
