  1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - L2601 fluctuated weakly, closing at 6,968 yuan/ton. New maintenance devices were added this week, causing PE production to decline month-on-month. The downstream shed film is in the peak season, with orders and the start - up rate gradually reaching the annual high. Orders for express bags and bubble bags are accumulating before the e - commerce festival, leaving room for the start - up rate of packaging films to increase. Inventories of production enterprises and society are being depleted, with little inventory pressure. The cost of the oil - based process decreased slightly while losses deepened; the cost of the coal - based process increased significantly, and profitability shrank greatly. The market expects a slight increase in OPEC+ production in December, and combined with weak crude oil demand, international oil prices are under pressure. In the short term, L2601 is expected to weaken with oil prices, and technically, attention should be paid to the previous low support around 6,870 [2] 3.
