Report Industry Investment Rating - The report suggests a cautious and bearish stance on plastics for unilateral trading, with no specific strategy for inter - period trading [3] Core Viewpoints - It is the off - season for downstream demand, with limited boosting effects. The agricultural film industry has low operating rates, and other end - user industries are running weakly. Upstream inventory is being depleted, while inventory reduction in the mid - stream trading sector is slow. International oil and propane prices have dropped significantly, weakening the cost support for polyolefins. Some previously shut - down and overhauled plants have resumed operation, and new supply has slightly increased. However, petrochemical plants are about to enter the traditional overhaul season, and future intensive overhauls of existing plants will relieve some of the new supply pressure [1][2] Summary by Directory 1.

For example, South China LPG price changes from 4695 on June 22 to 4710 on June 27, with a daily change of - 45 on the 27th. The cheapest deliverable is Shandong civil gas at 4590. The 08 - 09 spread of PG is 94, and the US - to - Far - East arbitrage window is closed [1]. Weekly View - Civil gas prices rise first and then fall. The market is bullish at the beginning of the week due to geopolitical tensions, but then is under pressure as overall supply is high, high prices are resisted by downstream, and the easing of the Middle East situation leads to a sharp drop in oil prices.

It is expected that external sales will continue to increase and arrivals will decline. Chemical demand is expected to be supported in the short term. The PDH operating rate was basically flat and is expected to increase next week (the first - phase PDH of Qingdao Jinneng may resume). Subsequently, the demand for alkylated oil is expected to increase with the recovery of gasoline demand.

Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided Core View of the Report The supply of polyolefins is under pressure due to the expected restart of multiple previously shut - down plants and the ramp - up of new production capacities. The cost support for polyolefins has increased with the rising international crude oil prices. The propane price has been weakening, leading to a slight increase in the start - up rate of PDH - based PP production. It is the traditional off - season for polyolefin downstream demand, with the agricultural film start - up rate continuing to decline and other terminal start - up rates being weakly volatile. Terminal factories have low enthusiasm for raw material procurement, mainly making rigid - demand purchases. The inventories of upstream factories and traders are being slowly depleted. The strategy for plastics is to be cautiously bearish on the single - side, and there is no strategy for the inter - period [1][3][4] Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 1.
