Report Overview - The report is titled "Supply Abundant, Limited Imagination Space for Peak-season Demand - Outlook for LPG in the Fourth Quarter" and is published by Orient Securities Derivatives Research Institute on September 30, 2025 [1] Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the report Report's Core View - In the fourth quarter, although it is the traditional combustion peak season, the supply and demand of domestic LPG and overseas propane are expected to remain relatively loose. With limited contradictions, there is little chance of a trending market. It is recommended to pay attention to the opportunity of shorting on the domestic market when prices are high and to be bearish on the overseas FEI [86] Q3 Market Review External Market - In Q3, the external market price was weak first and then strong. The change in trade flow and cargo flow bottlenecks pushed the relative valuation of the Far East Inbound Price (FEI) to strengthen significantly in August. The trading opportunities in Q3 were mostly short - term band trading opportunities caused by valuation deviations and short - term contradictions on the spot side [2][8] - In July, the external market was weak due to weak fundamentals and poor spot sentiment. Propane demand was dragged down by the year - on - year weakness in the cracking end, and the international supply surplus continued. In August, the relative valuation of FEI strengthened, mainly supported by the increase in transportation costs due to trade flow changes and cargo flow bottlenecks. In September, the contradiction weakened [8] Domestic Market - In Q3, the domestic market contradictions were stronger than those in the external market. Under the weak spot expectation, the number of warehouse receipts reached a record high. In July, the domestic market fell smoothly under the pressure of weak fundamentals in the off - season. The spot price was mainly lowered, and the number of PG registered warehouse receipts reached a record high, putting obvious pressure on the market [9][15] LPG Fundamental Outlook for the Fourth Quarter Supply Side United States - The net production of C3 in the United States has remained at a stable high level in Q3, and the commissioning of the Frac XVI fractionation unit in Q4 is expected to further increase the regional production. The current C3 inventory is slightly higher than that of the same period last year, at a seasonally neutral to high level [19] - The export volume of the United States has been basically stable at about 5.8 million tons per month this year. Although the export capacity of the docks has increased, the export volume is affected by multiple factors such as the actual change in Northeast Asian demand, the progress of China - US tariff games, and the passage of the Panama Canal [25] - The factors affecting the passage of the Panama Canal include drought, passage rules, and economy. In Q4, the focus is on the potential impact of USTR and possible hurricanes in the US Gulf on capacity allocation and loading [26][38] - The congestion of the Panama Canal in August temporarily pushed up the FEI - MB spread. The impact of USTR on the LPG market is expected to be limited, as the proportion of Chinese - operated ships is relatively low, and the market hype about USTR is gradually subsiding [31][42] Middle East - The CP price was weak in Q3. In Q4, the export increment in the Middle East is expected to be limited. The potential increment comes from OPEC+ production increase, but the export volume usually decreases seasonally in Q4 due to strong local demand in winter and seasonal maintenance of production facilities [50] Demand Side Combustion Demand - India's LPG import volume increased by 7.4% year - on - year to 17 million tons from January to September this year. The strong demand is supported by factors such as the growth of domestic terminal consumption, the commissioning of infrastructure projects, and the commissioning of new PDH devices. The annual import growth rate is expected to be about 6% [51][58] Chemical Demand - The LPG import volume of domestic flexible cracking terminals has decreased significantly this year due to China - US tariffs. In Q3, LPG had certain feedstock economic advantages over naphtha, but the overall LPG consumption in Far East cracking was weaker than last year. In Q4, it is difficult for FEI - MOPJ to provide strong economic incentives for LPG cracking feedstock demand [66] - The PDH demand may have reached a phased peak in Q3. In Q4, the operating rate is expected to be difficult to increase, and the feedstock demand is unlikely to have an optimistic performance, especially considering the expiration of the current China - US tariff plan in November [72] China - The domestic refinery gas commodity volume is abundant. In Q4, the external release volume is expected to further increase. Considering the high inventory in East China, the spot price in East China is expected to continue to be under pressure, and the lowest deliverable product of domestic civil LPG in October is still likely to be anchored in the East China region [85]

Core Views of the Report PE (Polyethylene) - Cost side support is unstable, production profit shows mixed trends, supply is expected to increase, import may recover but less than previous years, inventory follows seasonal patterns with a slight de - stocking expected at the end of the year, and demand is in a weak recovery with concerns about future orders. The overall fundamentals are under pressure, especially in December. It is recommended to consider short - selling opportunities on rallies, with the main contract expected to trade between 7000 - 7400 yuan/ton. For inter - month arbitrage, pay attention to the L01 - 05 spread for reverse arbitrage opportunities [3]. PP (Polypropylene) - Cost side support fluctuates, production profit is generally below zero, supply will remain abundant in the fourth quarter due to new capacity and restarted devices, import may increase seasonally but less than before, export is expected to be stable, and demand is weak with limited upward drive. The overall supply - demand structure is loose, especially in December. It is advised to short - sell on rallies, with the main contract expected to fluctuate between 6800 - 7200 yuan/ton. Also, focus on the 01 - 05 contract spread for reverse arbitrage opportunities [5]. 3. Summary According to the Table of Contents 3.1 Market Review - In July, new capacity and restarted devices increased supply pressure, but oil price rebound and policy support boosted polyolefin prices. In August, oil price was weak, and supply and demand were in a state of "supply - strong, demand - weak". In September, cost support weakened, and the supply - demand contradiction was prominent, leading to a continuous decline in polyolefin futures prices. Taking LLDPE as an example, its price first rose slightly and then fell continuously in the third quarter, with a high of 7412 yuan/ton and a low of 7301 yuan/ton [10][12]. 3.2 PE: Weak Demand Support in Peak Season, Rising Future Supply Pressure Supply Side - **Maintenance**: The maintenance loss is expected to decrease seasonally in the fourth quarter.

Demand Side - **Downstream Product Operation Rate**: In the seasonal peak season, the operation rates of agricultural film and packaging film gradually recovered but were weaker than in previous years. The operation rates of hollow and drawing products also recovered quarter - on - quarter but were significantly lower year - on - year [61][65]. - **Downstream Product Orders**: Orders increased quarter - on - quarter but were still inferior to previous years [69]. - **Downstream Product Inventory**: With the arrival of the peak season, the raw material inventory of downstream products increased quarter - on - quarter but was significantly lower year - on - year [73]. 3.3 PP: Continuous Supply Pressure, Insufficient Demand Drive Supply Side - **Operation Rate**: It is expected to first rise and then fall in the fourth quarter. As of September 26, the overall operation rate was 75.52%, down 3.78% from the end of the previous quarter [79]. - **Maintenance**: The maintenance plan in the fourth quarter is less than in the third quarter. The estimated maintenance loss in the third quarter was 209 tons, and it is expected to decrease in the fourth quarter [87]. - **Capacity**: There will be 295 tons of new PP capacity in the fourth quarter, mainly in December [89]. - **Output**: Output is expected to remain at a high level in the fourth quarter due to new capacity and restarted devices [93]. - **Import**: Import profit decreased quarter - on - quarter, and the import volume in August decreased. It is expected to recover in the fourth quarter [97]. - **Export**: The export volume is at a high level in recent years and is expected to be stable in the fourth quarter [101]. - **Production Profit**: Production profits varied, with an overall fluctuation below zero [105]. - **Inventory**: Trader inventory may steadily decrease, producer inventory is not expected to accumulate significantly, and port inventory may slightly increase [109]. Demand Side - **Downstream Product Operation Rate**: The operation rate first decreased and then increased in the third quarter, similar to the second quarter, but most were lower than in previous years. It is expected to have little improvement in the fourth quarter [113]. - **Downstream Product Orders**: Orders are expected to first increase and then decrease in the fourth quarter [117]. - **Downstream Product Inventory**: The pressure on raw material and finished - product inventory is not high currently, but there is an expectation of accumulation in the fourth quarter [119]. - **Downstream End - User Situation**: The production of three major white - goods showed different trends in the third quarter. In the fourth quarter, air - conditioner production may increase, while refrigerator and washing - machine production may first rise and then fall, with limited production increase due to high inventory [124][128]. 3.4 Spread Structure and Warehouse Receipt Quantity - **Inter - month Spread**: The L01 - 05 spread is expected to first rise and then fall, the PP01 - 05 spread is expected to weaken, and the L - PP spread is expected to fluctuate [133][135]. - **Warehouse Receipt Quantity**: The warehouse receipt quantities of PE and PP have continuously climbed to high levels in recent years [138]. 3.5 Monthly Supply - Demand Balance Sheet - **PE**: The supply - demand difference is expected to be relatively balanced from October to November, but the supply pressure will significantly increase in December [146]. - **PP**: The overall supply - demand structure in the fourth quarter is loose, with the most prominent supply pressure in December [147].
