Market Conditions and Trends - Before the holiday, the PG futures market oscillated, with the basis of the 06 contract at 420 and the PG06 - 07 monthly spread at 94, which narrowed. The arbitrage window from the US to the Far East was closed [1]. - Fundamentally, the high arrival volume led to obvious port inventory accumulation; the factory inventory decreased slightly due to upstream price - cutting to clear inventory before the holiday, but the downstream replenishment demand was average. After the holiday, the arrival volume is expected to decline gradually, especially the arrival of US goods. The upstream refinery supply is expected to be stable in the short term, with an expected increase in June. Chemical demand is expected to be average, with weak demand for alkylated oil, limited willingness of factories to increase production in the short term; MTBE is expected to operate weakly overall; some PDH factories may reduce production due to raw material procurement problems [1].
