丙烯日报：下游逢低采购，成本端存支撑-20251125

Report Investment Rating - Unilateral: Neutral; the supply-demand gap is narrowing, but the upward driving force is limited, and it may mainly fluctuate in the bottom range [3] Core View - Upstream maintenance has increased, leading to a decline in propylene production. Meanwhile, downstream production resumption has led to an overall increase in downstream operations, narrowing the supply-demand gap of propylene and improving spot market trading. However, the expectation of a loose propylene supply-demand situation remains unchanged, and there is insufficient upward driving force in the fundamentals, so the market remains in a low-level oscillation. The supply-side reduction provides short-term support for prices, and the demand-side support for propylene has strengthened, but it may decline. The cost side of propylene has support [2] Summary by Directory 1. Propylene Basis Structure - The main contract closing price of propylene is 5,881 yuan/ton (+74), the spot price of propylene in East China is 5,945 yuan/ton (+20), the spot price of propylene in North China is 5,925 yuan/ton (-15), the basis of propylene in East China is 64 yuan/ton (-54), and the basis of propylene in North China is 8 yuan/ton (-86) [1] 2.
