Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2. Core View of the Report - LLDPE faces a situation where cracking supply contracts, and downstream users resist high prices. For PP, the supply of multiple raw materials is restricted, and exports continue to be favorable [1]. - Geopolitical issues remain unresolved, affecting the shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, which is expected to strengthen the performance of naphtha and raise the cost of PE. There is an expected improvement in the demand for mulch film after the holiday, and the packaging film industry will gradually recover after the Lantern Festival. On the supply side, BASF Zhanjiang has achieved mass - production, with an increasing number of maintenance and load - reduction plans in March, a decline in standard product production, and a large inventory accumulation during the holiday [2]. - For PP, C3 is affected by supply disruptions from Saudi Arabia and Iran, providing strong cost support. PDH maintenance is still at a high level. There will be no new production before the 2605 contract, intensifying the game between existing supply and demand. After the Lantern Festival, downstream industries are expected to resume work in a concentrated manner, with a month - on - month improvement in demand. PDH profit remains low, and multiple PDH units in South China have not resumed operation, so the marginal changes in cracking and PDH units should be closely monitored [2]. 3.

For PP, Yulong, Zhongjing, and Yanchang Zhongmei have resumed production, with the operating rate slightly rebounding from a low level, and there are new maintenance plans for Zhonghan and Zhongying in late March. The basis continues to be weak, the downstream operating rate of agricultural mulch film is the same as the same period, and the finished - product inventory of factories and dealers is low. If the spot price remains stable, the cost can be smoothly passed on [1]. 3.3 Trend Intensity - The trend intensity of LLDPE is 1, and that of PP is also 1 [4].
