丙烯日报：成本端小幅回弹，丙烯盘面止跌震荡-20251023

Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided Core Viewpoints of the Report - Crude oil prices have rebounded, and the price of propane in the external market has also stopped falling and rebounded. The short - term rebound in the cost side has slightly boosted the price trend of propylene. The supply side remains relatively loose due to some plant shutdowns and others ramping up production. The demand side shows that downstream cost pressure has eased, but downstream procurement is cautious. Overall, the supply - demand pattern of propylene remains loose, with limited upward drivers but also limited downside space at the current low price level. Attention should be paid to the impact of trade frictions on propane supply and the start - stop status of PDH plants [2] Summary by Relevant Catalogs 1.
