Core Viewpoint - BOE anticipates that the replacement cycle and AI empowerment will drive growth in IT product demand in the coming year, while major sporting events like the World Cup are expected to boost TV product demand in the first quarter [1] Industry Outlook - The industry is expected to achieve supply-demand balance by 2027, driven by the potential exit of outdated production lines and the continued trend towards larger display sizes, which will further increase area demand [1]

Summary of Conference Call Records Industry Overview - The conference call discusses the impact of US-China trade negotiations on the commodity market, particularly focusing on copper and soybean markets [3][4][6]. Key Points on Copper Market - Global supply risks from free ports have driven copper prices up, with expectations of a structural shortage in the market due to low inventory and long-term demand from new energy sectors [4][6]. - Currently, there are no signs of copper being overbought, indicating potential for continued price increases [4]. Key Points on Gold Market - Recent gold price declines are attributed to reduced risk aversion and hawkish signals from the Federal Reserve, leading to a downward adjustment in December rate cut probabilities [4][5]. - Central bank gold purchases have slowed, contributing to short-term price pressures, but gold remains attractive as a long-term hedge against uncertainty [5]. Key Points on Soybean Market - The projected soybean production for the 2025-2026 season is 117 million tons, but this may be adjusted due to the USDA shutdown [6]. - Soybean exports are expected to be 45.86 million tons, with approximately 13 million tons directed to China. However, insufficient prior purchases from China have created a surplus pressure of about 12 million tons for US farmers [6][7]. - The forecast for US soybean export pressure in 2025 is between 10 to 12 million tons, significantly influenced by US-China procurement agreements [7][8]. Price Dynamics and Scenarios - Three scenarios for soybean price movements are proposed: 1. **Conservative Estimate**: If tariffs remain and first-quarter purchases are below 3 million tons, prices may quickly decline [8]. 2. **Baseline Scenario**: If imports range between 6 to 8 million tons, prices may stabilize around 1,100 cents per bushel [8]. 3. **Optimistic Scenario**: If China purchases around 12 million tons in the first quarter, prices could rise above 1,150 cents, potentially reaching 1,200 cents [8]. Chinese Soybean Market Dynamics - The Chinese soybean market is shifting from gap pricing to cost pricing, with ample supply leading to price declines in Q4 [9]. - If US-China relations improve in Q1, prices may stabilize based on Brazilian and US soybean procurement costs, with potential for profit recovery [9][10]. Impact of Chinese Procurement on Futures - The pace of Chinese soybean procurement directly affects the March futures contracts. Slow procurement and insufficient margins may lead to price increases post-Spring Festival [10][11]. Agricultural Planting Decisions - Rising soybean prices may shift planting decisions towards soybeans over corn, creating a seesaw effect in planting areas [12]. Conclusion - The conference call highlights the interconnectedness of US-China trade negotiations, commodity pricing, and agricultural production decisions, emphasizing the need for close monitoring of procurement agreements and market dynamics.

Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided Core Viewpoints - In November 2025, the fundamentals of polypropylene are slightly better than those of polyethylene, but the boost from fundamentals to polyolefins may still be limited. If there is no substantial improvement in the macro - level, polyolefins are likely to continue to fluctuate [7] - The domestic macro - level has expectations of warming up, and the international macro - level also has the possibility of improvement [23] Summary by Directory 1. Macro - level China - In late September 2025, the balance of broad money (M2) was 335.38 trillion yuan, a year - on - year increase of 8.4%. In September 2025, new RMB loans were 1.29 trillion yuan, a year - on - year decrease of 300 billion yuan [8] - In October 2025, the manufacturing purchasing managers' index (PMI) was 49%, a decrease of 0.8 percentage points from the previous month, indicating a decline in manufacturing prosperity [8] - In September 2025, the national consumer price index decreased by 0.3% year - on - year and increased by 0.1% month - on - month.

In September, the real estate development climate index was 92.78 [12][14] - In September 2025, macro - economic data was still weak, showing weak demand. Except for the improvement in PPI, other economic indicators were weak, especially the real estate data [16] International - In September 2025, the CPI in the US increased by 0.1% from the previous month to 3%, and the CPI in the eurozone increased by 0.2% from the previous month to 2.2%. The eurozone faces greater economic recession pressure with lower inflation. The US inflation is still some distance from the 2% target range due to continuous tariff disturbances, but both are at relatively low levels, which is conducive to further interest rate cuts to boost the economy [17] - On October 30, 2025, the Federal Reserve cut the federal funds rate from 4.00% - 4.25% to 3.75% - 4.00%, a decrease of 25 basis points. This is the second interest rate cut within the year and the second consecutive cut since September. The main refinancing rate in the eurozone has dropped to 2.15% [20] - The Fed will end the reduction of its total securities holdings on December 1, 2025, ending the three - and - a - half - year balance sheet reduction [19] - High tariffs and high interest rates still have a certain negative impact on the US economy, but the US economy remains resilient. In September 2025, the US manufacturing PMI increased by 0.4 percentage points from the previous month to 49.1%, and the service industry PMI decreased by 2 percentage points from the previous month to 50% [21] 2. Fundamental - level PE - In October 2025, the production and capacity utilization rate of polyethylene increased. The capacity utilization rate was 82.05%, an increase of 1.62 percentage points from the previous period, and the output was 2.8851 million tons, an increase of 6.6 percentage points. The increase in output was mainly due to the new ExxonMobil device and the reduction of maintenance volume by 15% [24][25] - In October 2025, the overall downstream industry start - up rate of polyethylene was 44.92%, an increase of 2.35% from the previous month. The average monthly start - up rate of the PE packaging film industry was 52.27%, a year - on - year decrease of 0.08% and a month - on - month increase of 0.79%. The overall start - up rate of agricultural film increased by 15.8% month - on - month [27] - In October 2025, the social inventory of polyethylene increased. At the end of the month, the inventory in social sample warehouses was 527,400 tons, a month - on - month increase of 29,000 tons and a year - on - year decrease of 167,000 tons. Due to the increase in domestic production and imports, polyethylene was in a situation of oversupply, and the social inventory increased during the peak season [30] PP - In October 2025, the total production of polypropylene in China was 3.5058 million tons, a month - on - month increase of 4.69% and a year - on - year increase of 15.37%. Although the loss data of polypropylene was still high, the overall start - up level of production enterprises increased, leading to an increase in total production [35] - In October 2025, the total consumption of polypropylene increased slightly month - on - month. The estimated apparent consumption in China was 3.5158 million tons, a month - on - month increase of 3.37% and a year - on - year increase of 11.56%. The start - up rates of downstream products increased month - on - month, especially in the modification, non - woven fabric, and plastic weaving industries, with increases of 5.45%, 4.41%, and 2.50% respectively. The demand for impact - copolymer polypropylene was driven by the new energy vehicle market, and the start - up rates of plastic weaving and non - woven fabrics were supported by stable orders. However, the growth of PP pipes and BOPP was small due to the weak real estate market and oversupply in the film factory [36][38] - At the end of October 2025, the inventory of polypropylene production enterprises was 595,100 tons, a month - on - month increase of 14.39%. The inventory of polypropylene traders was 213,600 tons, a month - on - month increase of 14.13%. The increase in inventory was mainly due to the accumulation during the National Day holiday and the failure to meet the peak - season demand expectations [41] 3. Market Outlook PE - In November 2025, the new Guangxi Petrochemical device of polyethylene will put pressure on the domestic supply, and there is an expectation of an increase in imports. The demand for northern greenhouse films will decrease with the cold weather, and the demand for packaging films will return to normal. The overall situation of polyethylene in the fourth quarter is oversupply [7][45] PP - In November 2025, the demand for polypropylene will continue to improve. The decrease in import arrivals and the decline in production will relieve the supply pressure, and the inventory will continue to be depleted. The demand in various industries will increase due to Double 11, Double 12, and Christmas orders, and the terminal consumption may reach a new high this year. The market supply and demand will maintain a tight balance, and the price is expected to stop falling and have a weak rebound [7][45]
