地缘政治扰动，盘面大幅走强

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The polypropylene market has been significantly affected by geopolitical factors, with the market showing a strong upward trend. The supply side is facing challenges due to increased unexpected maintenance and production cuts, while the demand side is expected to gradually pick up. The cost side has strengthened significantly, and the profit situation varies among different production processes. Overall, the market is expected to be volatile and slightly strong, but there is a risk of correction [1][6][7][10]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Recent Market Main Contradictions - Geopolitical disturbances have led to a significant increase in the polypropylene market. The supply side is affected by increased unexpected maintenance and production cuts, while the demand side is expected to gradually pick up. The cost side has strengthened significantly, and the profit situation varies among different production processes [1][6][7]. 3.2 Polypropylene Supply and Demand Situation Supply - This week's production decreased slightly to 722,600 tons, a decrease of 45,800 tons from last week. In the next two weeks, more devices will be shut down for maintenance or operate at reduced loads, and production is expected to continue to decline, with an estimated output of 655,800 tons and 651,800 tons respectively. The maintenance loss this week was 198,000 tons, an increase of 3,400 tons from last week [6]. - There are many unexpected PP maintenance cases. Multiple companies have device maintenance plans from 2025 to 2026, which will affect production. In 2025, new production capacity was added, with a total of 4.555 million tons. In 2026, new production capacity is planned to be added, with a total of 6.1 million tons [15][19][20]. Demand - The current downstream demand is not very good. However, next week's demand is expected to continue to strengthen slightly, with the apparent demand reaching 829,300 tons [6][41]. Inventory - This week, the total inventory decreased slightly to 938,400 tons, a decrease of 10,800 tons from last week. It is expected that the inventory will continue to decrease next week, and the impact of upstream production cuts is expected to be apparent. Upstream inventory, including coal - chemical, PDH, and ground - refinery inventories, decreased to some extent, while the inventory of "Two - oil" increased. Mid - stream inventory also decreased slightly [6]. 3.3 Polypropylene Basis and Spread Basis - The 1 - 5 month spread decreased from - 626 last week to - 855 this week, a decrease of 229. The 5 - 9 month spread increased from 407 last week to 552 this week, an increase of 145, showing a strengthening trend of the 5 - 9 positive spread. The 9 - 1 month spread increased from 219 last week to 303 this week, an increase of 84. - The East China basis increased from - 200 last week to 0 this week, an increase of 200. The North China basis increased from - 250 last week to - 200 this week, an increase of 50. The South China basis decreased from 0 last week to - 100 this week, a decrease of 100, showing a weakening trend. The spot basis fluctuates greatly [8]. Product Spread - The fiber - to - draw ratio increased from 50 last week to 250 this week, an increase of 200. The co - polymer - to - draw ratio remained unchanged at 250. The injection - to - draw ratio increased from 50 last week to 100 this week, an increase of 50. The pellet - to - powder ratio in North China increased from - 100 last week to 0 this week, an increase of 100. The pellet - to - powder ratio in East China increased from - 150 last week to 0 this week, an increase of 150. The narrow spread between pellets and powders has a certain supporting effect on pellet prices [8]. Disk Spread - The PP - 3MA on the 01 - contract disk decreased from - 179 last week to - 190 this week, a decrease of 11, showing a strengthening trend. The PP - 3MA on the 05 - contract disk increased from 39 last week to 125 this week, an increase of 86. The PP - 3MA on the 09 - contract disk increased from - 44 last week to 41 this week, an increase of 85. Attention should be paid to the opportunity of going long on PP and short on MA. The LL - PP on the 01 - contract disk increased from 183 last week to 271 this week, an increase of 88. The LL - PP on the 05 - contract disk increased from - 106 last week to - 67 this week, an increase of 39, showing a weakening trend. The LL - PP on the 09 - contract disk increased from 66 last week to 183 this week, an increase of 117. The LL - PP was volatile this week [8]. 3.4 Summary and Outlook Upper, Middle, and Lower Reaches Views - Upstream: The situation of upstream device load reduction has worsened, and production is expected to be significantly affected, with output lower than expected. Some upstream companies have postponed their delivery plans [10]. - Mid - stream: Spot trading has slightly deteriorated. Some agents have started to sell off their goods due to poor spot liquidity and concerns about difficulties in selling when prices fall [10]. - Downstream: After the previous restocking, the inventory has gradually become sufficient, and the situation of downstream panic - buying has eased [10].
