Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided Core Viewpoints - From November 1st to 6th, PE production increased by 2.67% to 660,700 tons week-on-week. From October 24th to 30th, the downstream PE operating rate decreased by 0.4% week-on-week, with the agricultural film operating rate up 2.4% and the packaging film operating rate down 1.3%. As of October 29th, the inventory of PE producers decreased by 19.16% to 416,000 tons week-on-week; as of October 24th, the social PE inventory decreased by 3.30% to 527,400 tons week-on-week.

L2601 rebounded after a decline, closing at 6,805 yuan/ton. In November, there will be less new maintenance capacity for PE, and two new units of Guangxi Petrochemical are about to be put into operation, resulting in high supply pressure. Affected by the restart of 400,000 tons of Lianyungang Petrochemical and 450,000 tons of Baolai units this week, PE production increased week-on-week. The downstream greenhouse film is in the peak season, and the operating rate of agricultural film is expected to remain high; the orders for packaging film are being delivered successively, and the operating rate is expected to gradually weaken. The inventory of producers and social inventory will continue to decline, and the inventory pressure is not significant. The accumulation of API and EIA inventories in the US, combined with the strengthening of the US dollar, has led to a recent weak and volatile international oil price. In the short term, L2601 is expected to fluctuate weakly in the range of 6,740 - 6,850 [2].
