Report Summary 1) Report Industry Investment Rating - The report does not explicitly provide an industry investment rating. However, the trend strength of PP is -1, indicating a relatively bearish view, with the short - term advice of not chasing short positions and medium - term trend still under pressure [3]. 2) Core View of the Report - The short - term market for PP does not require chasing short positions, but the medium - term trend still faces significant pressure. The supply side remains high, which is a major factor suppressing the market. Although recent trading volume has improved slightly due to low - price - driven short - term restocking, the peak demand period within the year has passed. In the long - run, cost pressure, high supply, and weak downstream demand with low profits will be the dominant factors in the first half of 2026. However, the low profit of PP also restricts the supply side and limits the potential for future price declines [2]. 3) Summary by Relevant Catalogs [Fundamental Tracking] - Futures Data: The closing price of PP2601 was 6474, with a daily increase of 0.40%.

However, downstream factories remained cautious in raw material procurement, with some entering the market to make appropriate low - price purchases [2]. [Market Condition Analysis] - The high supply on the supply side is still the main factor suppressing the market.

The peak demand period within the year has passed, and the key to the future market lies in future demand factors. In the long - term, cost pressure, high supply, and weak downstream demand with low profits will be the dominant factors in the first half of 2026.
