Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No industry investment rating is provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints - L2601 oscillated downward, closing at 6,814 yuan/ton. The impact of newly added and previously shut - down maintenance devices expanded, leading to a decline in PE production and capacity utilization rate. The overall downstream PE operating rate decreased slightly, with the operating rate of agricultural film rising and that of packaging film falling. Production and social inventories decreased, with less inventory pressure. The cost of oil - based LLDPE increased and losses deepened, while the cost of coal - based LLDPE increased and profits rose slightly. With planned restarts of some devices, PE production and capacity utilization are expected to increase. In the short term, L2601 is expected to oscillate weakly, and the daily K - line should focus on the support around 6,770 [2]. 3.
