The downstream start - up rate mostly dropped, and the inventory rate rose. The US military action in Venezuela may affect domestic asphalt production and cost. The price is expected to fluctuate significantly [15][17] - **PP**: The downstream start - up rate decreased slightly, and the enterprise start - up rate increased slightly. The cost is affected by the weak oil price. With new production capacity and reduced downstream orders, the upward space is limited, and the L - PP spread is expected to narrow [18] - **Plastic**: The start - up rate remained stable, and the downstream start - up rate increased slightly. New production capacity was put into operation, and the agricultural film season is ending. The upward space is limited, and the L - PP spread is expected to narrow [19][20] - **PVC**: The upstream calcium carbide price is stable. The supply - side start - up rate increased, and the downstream start - up rate had a slight change. The export orders decreased, and the inventory is high. It is recommended to wait and see in the traditional off - season [21][23] - **Coking Coal**: The price showed a weak oscillation. The Mongolian coal supply may slow down, and domestic production increased. After the fourth round of coke price cuts, the fifth round is less likely to be implemented. The coking enterprises increased inventory, and the steel industry has a low - load operation expectation [24] - **Urea**: It opened low and closed down. The supply increased as the shutdown devices resumed production. The market trading activity decreased, and the inventory started to accumulate. It is expected to oscillate in the short term [25][26]
