丙烯日报：供应持续宽松，成本端支撑有限-20251209

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant information provided 2. Core View of the Report - The supply of propylene remains loose, and the cost - side support is limited. The overall propylene start - up continues at a high level, but the downstream start - up weakens. The price rebound space is limited, and it will be mainly in a weak shock in the short term, waiting for marginal device maintenance [1][2] 3. Summary According to the Directory 3.1 Market News and Important Data - Propylene: The closing price of the main propylene contract is 5819 yuan/ton (+1), the spot price in East China is 6000 yuan/ton (+10), and in North China is 6090 yuan/ton (+40). The basis in East China is 181 yuan/ton (+9), and in North China is 125 yuan/ton (+19). The start - up rate is 74% (+0%), the difference between China's propylene CFR and Japan's naphtha CFR is 187 US dollars/ton (-4), the difference between propylene CFR and 1.2 propane CFR is 54 US dollars/ton (+0), the import profit is - 353 yuan/ton (-10), and the in - plant inventory is 47890 tons (-1080) [1] - Propylene downstream: The start - up rate of PP powder is 40% (-1.98%), and the production profit is - 340 yuan/ton (-40); the start - up rate of propylene oxide is 76% (+1%), and the production profit is - 190 yuan/ton (-93); the start - up rate of n - butanol is 74% (-8%), and the production profit is 442 yuan/ton (-45); the start - up rate of octanol is 74% (-7%), and the production profit is 693 yuan/ton (-29); the start - up rate of acrylic acid is 78% (+1%), and the production profit is 415 yuan/ton (-7); the start - up rate of acrylonitrile is 81% (+0%), and the production profit is - 606 yuan/ton (-78); the start - up rate of phenol - acetone is 82% (+1%), and the production profit is - 977 yuan/ton (-150) [1] 3.2 Market Analysis - Supply side: Dongguan Juzhengyuan and Shandong Binhuahua's PDH devices are expected to restart. The phenomenon of PDH loss and maintenance is not obvious, and the overall propylene start - up continues at a high level. Hebei Haiwei's PDH device has not restarted yet. The external sales volume of propylene products may continue to increase [2] - Demand side: The overall downstream start - up weakens. Considering the rising propylene price and the pressure on downstream profits, the price difference between PP and propylene narrows. Downstream is resistant to high - priced raw materials. Some main powder devices reduce the load or stop. The start - up of the main downstream PP powder decreases month - on - month. The profit of propylene oxide is acceptable, and the downstream is mainly for phased replenishment. Affected by the maintenance of Luxi and Satellite's butanol and octanol devices, the start - up rate of butanol and octanol decreases significantly. In the later stage, the downstream cost pressure still restricts the recovery of demand [2] - Cost side: International oil prices tend to fluctuate, and there is still pressure of oversupply in the medium and long term. The price of external propane has been strong recently. Pay attention to the cost - side disturbances recently [2] 3.3 Strategy - Unilateral: Due to insufficient supply - demand drive, the rebound space may be limited. It will be mainly in a weak shock in the short term, waiting for marginal device maintenance [2] - Inter - period: No relevant strategy provided - Inter - variety: No relevant strategy provided 3.4 Directory - related Charts - Propylene basis structure: Includes charts such as the closing price of the main propylene contract, the basis in East China and North China, etc. [3][5][7] - Propylene production profit and start - up rate: Includes charts such as the difference between China's propylene CFR and Japan's naphtha CFR, propylene capacity utilization rate, etc. [3][15][17] - Propylene import and export profit: Includes charts such as the difference between South Korea's FOB and China's CFR, Japan's CFR and China's CFR, etc. [3][27][28] - Propylene downstream profit and start - up rate: Includes charts such as PP powder production profit and start - up rate, propylene oxide production profit and start - up rate, etc. [3][35][36] - Propylene inventory: Includes charts such as propylene in - plant inventory and PP powder in - plant inventory [3][61][62]
