- Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content 2. Core View of the Report - International geopolitical conflicts continue to cause disruptions, leading to a continuous increase in international oil prices, which in turn drives up the price of propane. This has raised the cost of propylene, and combined with the support from the supply - demand fundamentals, it has boosted the propylene futures price. On the supply side, there is a slight expected increase in propylene supply, but the actual return of major PDH plants under profit pressure needs attention. On the demand side, there is still rigid demand from downstream industries after the holiday, but the demand may be pressured due to high propylene prices. The future trend of propylene is mainly driven by the cost of crude oil and propane, the maintenance status of major PDH plants, and the downstream demand and production resumption under cost pressure [2] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Market News and Important Data - Propylene: The closing price of the main propylene contract is 6322 yuan/ton (-22), the spot price in East China is 6550 yuan/ton (+0), and in North China is 6525 yuan/ton (+0). The basis in East China is 228 yuan/ton (+22), and in Shandong is 203 yuan/ton (+22). The propylene operating rate is 73% (+0%), the difference between China's propylene CFR and Japan's naphtha CFR is 222 US dollars/ton (+1), the difference between propylene CFR and 1.2 propane CFR is 90 US dollars/ton (+8), the import profit is -345 yuan/ton (+38), and the in - plant inventory is 45170 tons (+1840) [1] - Downstream of propylene: The operating rate of PP powder is 22% (-3.94%), with a production profit of -270 yuan/ton (+5); the operating rate of propylene oxide is 80% (+8%), with a production profit of -2 yuan/ton (+140); the operating rate of n - butanol is 88% (+2%), with a production profit of 393 yuan/ton (+0); the operating rate of octanol is 99% (+4%), with a production profit of -70 yuan/ton (+0); the operating rate of acrylic acid is 86% (+2%), with a production profit of 300 yuan/ton (+100); the operating rate of acrylonitrile is 75% (+3%), with a production profit of -1246 yuan/ton (+98); the operating rate of phenol - acetone is 89% (+0%), with a production profit of -834 yuan/ton (+0) [1] 3.2 Market Analysis - Supply side: The Wanhua Penglai PDH plant has restarted and increased production, while the Juzhengyuan Phase II, Jinneng Phase II, and Zhongjing PDH plants are planned to continue maintenance. Some PDH plants in Shandong had short - term shutdowns during the holiday. There is a slight expected increase in propylene supply, but the actual return of major PDH plants under profit pressure needs attention [2] - Demand side: After the holiday, some downstream industries have gradually restocked. There is still rigid demand, but due to the high propylene price, the downstream cost is significantly pressured, and the demand may be affected after profit compression. For example, the purchase support from PP powder plants has declined, while the profit of butanol and octanol is good, and the restocking intention after the holiday may be strong [2] 3.3 Strategy - Unilateral: Cautiously go long on hedging at low prices - Inter - period: None - Inter - variety: None [3]
